Glossary

The following terms are used in this manual and the EtherNet/IP setting tool.

	Term	Description
	Originator	The side which opens the connection of the cyclic communication is called
		originator, i.e. controllers such as PLC.
	Target	he side which the connection is opened is called target, such as PLC, I/O devices.
		Connection setting with targets registered in FP0H. Information required for the
	Scan List	communication with the targets and the device allocation of own unit are registered.
		For FP0H, the connection with targets are established according to the scan list.
	I/O map	Information required for the transmission from the own unit (FP0H) to other PLCs
		and the device allocation of the own unit are registered.
		EDS files are provided for each product by each vendor. This file contains the
	EDS file	information on the communication for registering targets in the scan list.
	(Electric data sheet)	The EDS files of each target should be registered for constructing the scan list with
		the setting tool.
		A node number is set when a target is registered in the scan list.
	Node no.	Numbers that do not overlap are allocated in the scan list as node numbers.
		Node numbers are not used in the cyclic communication, however, as each target
		is recognized by these numbers, they are used for monitoring the communication
		state of each node or controlling the start/stop of the communication.
	Connection setting	The details of the connections with targets registered in the scan list are set.
	Node name	Arbitrary node names can be given.
	Device name	Device names of targets. The device name is registered in the EDS file.
	Connection Name	The type of the connection manager registered in the EDS file is selected by the
		name. By selecting this, the application type (communication method) is changed.
		The communication method can be selected by the application type.
		Three communication methods are available;
		1: Exclusive Owner (Two-way communication)
		2: Input Only
	Application Type	3: Listen Only
		Although "Exclusive Owner" and "Input Only" are independent connections, "Listen
		Only" can be connected only when either of the above connections is established,
		and it will be automatically cut if the independent connection is disconnected.
		Also, it will be reconnected automatically when the above independent connection
		is reconnected.
		When FP0H is used as a target, "Input Only" can be selected.

WUME-FP0HEIP-05

v

	Term	Description
		Set the operation method of "Compatibility Check" , which checks the information of
		the connected target device against the revision of the EDS file.
		Three verification methods are available. The default is "Follow Adapter(Target)
	Compatibility Check	Rule".
		1: Check
		2: Not check
		3: Follow Adapter(Target) Rule
		For connecting from an originator to target, there are two methods to specify the
		device area of the target.
	Communication Method	by specifying numbers (Instance)
		by specifying symbols (Tag).
	(Tag/Instance)
		When setting connections, the methods available for each target are displayed.
		For using the FP0H as a target, either method can be selected.
		However, the selectable instance numbers for the instance method are 100 to 199.
		The transmission timing is selected from Cyclic or COS (Change of state).
	Input Send Trigger	However, COS depends on devices.
		COS is basically a cyclic communication, however, it also performs transmission
		when sent data changes.
		The FP0H does not support COS.
		Transmission disable time (RPI of input information x 1/4) is displayed when "Input
	COS Transmission	Send Trigger" is set to "Change of State (COS)".
	Disable Time	Even if the unit detects the change in data, it is not sent within the transmission
		disable time.
		In the cyclic communication, transmission data is sent as UDP packet. The timeout
		is judged on a receiver side.
	Timeout Period	The timeout period is selected from 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 times of RPI.
		The timeout period should be 10 msec or more.
		RPI can be specified for T>O direction and O>T direction separately, so each
		timeout period may be different values.
	Input Information (T>O)	This is the setting for the transmission from a target to the FP0H (originator).
	Output Information (O>T)	This is the setting for the transmission from the FP0H (originator) to a target.
	RPI	Set the transmission interval for the cyclic communication. Set a value within the
	(Requested Packet	communication capacity of a target. The usable RPI range depends on devices.
	Interval)	For the FP0H, it is 1 ms to 10 s (by 0.5 ms).
		One to one communication is performed between an originator and a target.
	Point to Point	Transmitted packets are received only by each other.
	(1:1 communication)	Other devices connected to the same HUB do not receive those transmission
		packets.
		Transmission data is sent as a multicast packet. By connecting multiple originators
		to one target, one multicast packet can be received by multiple originators.
	Multicast	(Note) Multicast packets are basically received by all devices connected to the
		same HUB which includes the devices unrelated to the communication, and it leads
	(Multicast communication)
		to an unnecessary communication load.
		When using the multicast communication, set not to exceed 100% by the load
		factor calculation of the setting tool.
	TTL	TTL (Time To Live) is used to set the hierarchies of the network in which
		transmission packets can exist when sending multicast packets to other PLCs.
	Instance ID/Tag name	Set an instance ID or tag name according to the communication method of the
		selected connection.
	Data Size	The data sizes of the originator and target for the cyclic communication must be the
		same. When they do not match, the communication cannot be performed.

vi	WUME-FP0HEIP-05

	Term	Description
	Parameter setting	Data size, instance ID and other parameters that can be changed in the EDS file
		can be changed.
	PPS performance index	This is an index of sent/received packets processed in one second.
	(Packet per sec)
		The packet whose size is within 510 bytes is called normal packet. The packet
		whose size is 511 bytes to 1444 bytes is called large packet.
	Normal packet and	The maximum communication performance varies according to the data size used
		for communication.
	large packet
		Performance index of FP0H
		For 510 bytes or less: Max. 5000 pps
		For 511 bytes or more: Max. 2500 pps
	Protocol used for	The cyclic communication is performed using UDP. The used port number is 2222.
	cyclic communication
		For "Input Only" or "Listen Only", a packet called heartbeat whose data size is zero
		is sent from the originator (FP0H). For the RPI of the heartbeat, the value 16 times
	Heartbeat	of the RPI of transmitted data from a target is automatically applied.
		The heartbeat is used for confirming the continuation of the connection on the
		target side. It is used for detect the timeout.
	Forward open	This is a command for opening the connection of EtherNet/IP and sent using TCP.
		The used port number is 44818.
	Large forward	This is a command for opening the connection when sending/receiving data whose
	open	size is larger than 511 bytes.
		Operation state flag (RUN/IDLE) sent by connected devices in cyclic
		communication.
	RUN/IDLE bit	RUN 1
		IDLE 0
		When the RUN/IDLE bit of the originator does not change to RUN, the target may
		not operate properly. For details, refer to "5.2.3 RUN/IDLE Bit".

1.1What is EtherNet/IP?

1.1What is EtherNet/IP?

1.1.1Overview of EtherNet/IP

EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) is an industrial multi-vendor realtime Ethernet system for executing the communication protocol for CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) control in an application layer on standard Ethernet.

Cyclic communication can be performed among devices compatible with EtherNet/IP. In cyclic communication, devices compatible with EtherNet/IP send or receive data between "specified data areas" in a "specified cycle". Even when the number of nodes increases, the cycle does not increase.

For information on CIP, refer to the documents of ODVA.

1.1.2 FP0H EtherNet/IP Function

The FP0H can perform the cyclic communication with PLCs and I/O devices compatible with EtherNet/IP on the EtherNet/IP network.

The send and receive areas are allocated from the device area of the FP0H for the cyclic communication. Data is sent/received from the allocated area with specified intervals (RPI).

The EtherNet/IP function of FP0H is set from the "EtherNet/IP settings" menu of programming software FPWIN GR7.

■ Originator and Target

In each connection (communication line) of cyclic communication, there are "originator" which opens each connection and "target" which a connection is opened.

The PLC (FP0H) can be set as the both originator and target.

For the communication between the FP0H and a PLC, the settable connection is "Input Only" (i.e. data can be sent in one direction, from target to originator). By using two connections, data can be sent and received.

FP0H				Connection 1 PLC
		Originator			Target
		Target				Originator

Connection 2

: Opens connection. : Sends cyclic data.

For the communication between the FP0H and other I/O devices, the FP0H is the originator. According to devices, the data transmissions by "Input Only" (from target to originator) and "Exclusive Owner" (two-way) may be available.

2.1.1Overview of Cyclic Communication

The cyclic communication is a function to perform data transmission with constant intervals (RPI) between PLC and PLC or PLC and I/O device on the EtherNet/IP network.

In the cyclic communication, one device opens a communication line which is called connection for a destination device. The side which opens the connection (communication line) is called "originator", and the side which the connection is opened is called "target".

Opens connections.

Refresh direction	Refresh operation

In refresh processing at the beginning of scan, if there is incoming data in the receive

Input refresh buffer for the cyclic communication, it is copied to the operation memory. After the completion of the refresh operation, the latest received data will be an object to be

refreshed in the next time.

In refresh processing at the beginning of scan, if there is space in the send buffer for the Output refresh cyclic communication, it is copied from the data area. If the refreshing has not been

completed at the time of data transmission, the previous refreshed data is sent.

■Refresh operation when starting communication

●After confirming that the connection is open with the connection open flag, refreshes sent data.

●After detecting received data with the received data existence flag, refreshes received data.

●After refreshing received data, the normal reception active flag turns ON.

2.1.4 Data Area Specifications Using Tag/Instance

In the cyclic communication, the data send and received areas are specified using "Tag" or "Instance".

●For "Tag", the areas are specified by symbols. For "Instance", they are specified by numbers.

●For some target devices, only either of "Tag" and "Instance" may be available.

●In the connection of "Exclusive Owner", the receive area of each target is specified by another tag or instance.

(Note) Even when specifying by tag, numbers are assigned to packets during the actual cyclic communication.
