Connection Types
There are two types of messaging connections: I/O messaging connection and Explicit
messaging connection. I/O messaging connection includes the two methods explained
below:
Change Of State : A device sends data whenever it changes. Signals for device diagnosis
are sent regularly in the background. This connection type is useful for
remedying EtherNet/IP communication traffic.
Cyclic : A slave device transfers data regularly according to its internal timer.
This connection type is typically used for communicating with a
temperature Controller. The data transfer frequency is defined by
master configuration.
For Change of State and Cyclic, the ACK which verifies communication completion can
be disabled by setting. However, never disable the ACK since communication errors
cannot be detected.
