When Protocol1, Protocol2, or Protocol3 is selected for Ethernet under Interface Configuration
Protocol: Selects the user communication to configure for the selected Protocol from the following.
User Communication 1, User Communication 2, User Communication 3
Operation Mode:
Selects the operation mode when performing user communication with the Ethernet interface.
TCP Client: The Touch operates as a TCP client and the external device operates as a TCP server. The
Touch connects to the TCP server and sends and receives data.
TCP Server: The Touch operates as a TCP server and the external device operates as a TCP client. The
Touch creates a listening port as a TCP server and waits for connections from TCP clients.
After a connection, it sends and receives data with the TCP client.
Target: Configures the IP address and port number for the external device.
These options can only be configured when TCP Client is selected for Operation Mode.
IP Address: Specifies the IP address for the target.
The format is “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”. “xxx” stands for a numeric value from 0 to
255.
When connecting multiple devices to the same network, make sure to assign
each device a unique IP address.
Port No.: Specifies the port number for the target (0 to 65535).
Change IP Address and Port Number by Device:
Select this check box and specify a word device to change the target's IP
address and port number during operation. You can only specify an internal
device. During the start of operation, the Touch writes the values configured
by IP Address and Port No. to this device. After the start of operation, the
value of device is read and the target is changed.
Click to display the Device Address Settings dialog box. For the device
address configuration procedure, refer to Chapter 2 “5.1 Device Address
Settings” on page 2-62.
Example: When IP Address is set to 192.168.1.1, Port No. is 2105, and the
device is LDR100
Touch: Configures the Touch listening port number.
These options can only be configured when TCP Server is selected for Operation Mode.
Port No. Specifies the Touch listening port number (0 to 65535).
The port numbers that cannot be used are as follows.
• Port numbers already used by the Touch: port number 2537 (for
maintenance communication), 2538 (for pass-through), 2101 (for FC4A
direct connection pass-through)
• When MODBUS/TCP Server is selected for Communication Driver,
