Glossary

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

Term Description

Originator

Target he side which the connection is opened is called target, such as PLC, I/O devices.

Scan List

I/O map

EDS file

(Electric data sheet)

Node no.

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

Application Type

The side which opens the connection of the cyclic communication is called originator, i.e. controllers such as PLC.

Connection setting with targets registered in FP0H. Information required for the 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.

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 information on the communication for registering targets in the scan list.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

by specifying numbers (Instance)

by specifying symbols (Tag).

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).

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 Send Trigger" is set to "Change of State (COS)".

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.

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.

Set the transmission interval for the cyclic communication. Set a value within the communication capacity of a target. The usable RPI range depends on devices.

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. Transmitted packets are received only by each other.

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.

(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 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 (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.

Set an instance ID or tag name according to the communication method of the selected connection.

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.

Data size, instance ID and other parameters that can be changed in the EDS file can be changed.

This is an index of sent/received packets processed in one second.

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.

The maximum communication performance varies according to the data size used for communication.

Performance index of FP0H

For 510 bytes or less: Max. 5000 pps

For 511 bytes or more: Max. 2500 pps

The cyclic communication is performed using UDP. The used port number is 2222.

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 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.

This is a command for opening the connection of EtherNet/IP and sent using TCP. The used port number is 44818.

This is a command for opening the connection when sending/receiving data whose size is larger than 511 bytes.

Operation state flag (RUN/IDLE) sent by connected devices in cyclic communication.

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".

● Do not use "2222" and "44818" for the port numbers set to the connections of Ethernet communication.

1.1 What is EtherNet/IP?

1.1.1 Overview 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.

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.
