CHAPTER1 Cautions To Ensure Safety
1-1 Basic safety points
Besides reading this instruction manual and the controller user’s manual, also be sure to handle the equipment correctly while paying sufficient attention to safety.
Points regarding safety in this instruction manual only list items involving this product. Please refer to the controller instruction manual for information regarding safety when using this unit with the controller.
It is not possible to detail all safety items within the limited space of this manual. So it is essential that the user have a full knowledge of basic safety rules and also that the operator makes correct judgments on safety procedures during operation.
Industrial robots are highly programmable, mechanical devices that provide a large degree of freedom when performing various manipulative tasks. Failure to take necessary safety measures or mishandling due to not following the instruction in this manual may result in trouble or damage to the robot and injury to personnel (robot operator or service personnel) including fatal accidents.
Important caution points in this manual are from hereon indicated by the term:
! CAUTION
1-2 System design safety points
! CAUTION
Ethernet communications protocol specifications do not guarantee real-time operation. So relying only on the Ethernet in situations such as robot emergency stop can be extremely dangerous. Install safety interlock circuits using the emergency stop terminal in the parallel I/O of the controller to ensure quick and effective emergency stops.
! CAUTION
To find the current status of the network system and controller when communication errors occur on the Ethernet system, refer beforehand to this manual and the instruction manual for equipment used by the other party. Also install safety interlock circuit so that systems including a controller will function reliably and safely when communication errors occur.
! CAUTION
Do not bundle control lines or communication cables together or in close contact with main circuit or motor/actuator lines. As a general rule, maintain a gap of at least 100mm. Noise in signal lines may cause faulty operation.

Ethernet Unit
CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit
2-1 Ethernet unit features
Ethernet is the network most commonly used by office equipment today. This Ethernet unit is an optional device for connecting to controllers over the Ethernet.
The communications protocol utilizes TCP/IP which is a standard Internet protocol so PCs and business computers with Internet access or equipment incorporating TCP/IP protocols can easily exchange data with the controller.
Main features of this Ethernet unit are as follows:
■The controller can be connected to the Ethernet system using this unit. The unit fits directly inside the controller and so does not require any extra installation space.
■The Ethernet unit uses 10BASE-T specifications, so UTP cables (unshielded twistedpair cables) or STP cables (shielded twisted-pair cables) can be used. This makes cable and wiring installation really easy.
■Several controllers can be connected on the same network so information can be processed in one batch from a designated PC.
■Utilizing a HUB having 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-5 connectors, controllers can be accessed even from offices located away from the factory. Using the Internet allows accessing even controllers in remote locations.
■The controller operates as a TELNET (socket) server, which can easily be accessed from PCs used as TELNET terminals. (Windows PCs incorporate a TELNET terminal called TELNET.EXE as standard equipment.)
Ethernet unit commands are the same as those handled through RS-232C, so even first-time users will find it easy to use.
If information such as network settings on the PC or for detailed information on other equipment is needed, refer to that particular user’s manual or product instruction manual. For information on operating the YAMAHA controller or robot programming, refer to the controller user’s manual.
* Ethernet is a registered trademark of the Xerox Corporation (USA).

CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit
2-2 How data is exchanged
The following is a brief explanation to help understand how information is exchanged over the Ethernet with the other devices, such as between the controller and PC.
In the communications method called TCP/IP, an IP address is assigned to each device connected on the network. The IP address is a number unique to each device and serves to identify that device. In the communications process, the IP address of the controller must first be specified to make connection. After making the connection, the actual data is exchanged between the devices and when finished the connection is terminated.
The controllers equipped with the Ethernet unit operate as a server and constantly await a connection request from the client (other party’s device such as a PC). Specific actions are then carried out when a request arrives from a client. So the controller cannot connect to another server on its own.

Device such as PC is the client, connects to server and issues commands to perform specified actions.
qSpecify the IP address of controller to exchange data with and make the connection. (Above example shows the client 192.168.0.10 has specified the controller 192.168.0.5 and made a connection.)
wAfter making the connection, the controller runs a specific series of actions according to instructions from the client.
M E M O
During multitasking by the client, several robots can be simultaneously connected to one client unit.
Only one client can make a simultaneous connection to one controller unit. Settings such as of the IP address and subnet are made from the TPB.

CHAPTER2 Ethernet Unit
2-3 How to connect to Ethernet
The Ethernet unit employs 10BASE-T specifications, so the controller connects by a cable to the HUB.
Use UTP cables (unshielded twisted-pair cables) or STP cables (shielded twisted-pair cables) for category 3 or higher, with straight-through wiring specifications.
To connect to the Ethernet, insert the cable with modular jack into the modular connector on the controller until you hear a click. Insert the other end of the cable into the modular connector on the HUB.

Fig. 2-1 Connecting to Ethernet
! CAUTION
We use an FL HUB (made by Phoenix Contact) to check operation. Using this HUB is recommended if constructing your own system.
HUBs generally available on the market are not designed for use in locations such as factories, so some HUBs are vulnerable to external noise. Please acknowledge beforehand that operation cannot be guaranteed if other types of HUBs are used. Always be sure to use a HUB with high noise resistance when connecting to the controller.
! CAUTION
The maximum cable length between the HUB and controller is 100 meters. Before connecting the HUB and controller always refer to the instruction manuals for the device used by the other party and peripheral equipment such as the HUB. If the HUB communication mode can be set manually, then set to 10Mbps/Half Duplex.
M E M O
Using a straight-through cable is recommended when connecting to the other party’s device by way of the HUB. You can connect directly to the other party’s device without the HUB by using a crossover cable but communication may sometimes not be possible due to the type of LAN adapter used by other party’s device.
