3 Ethernet/IP Communication Protocol
3.1 Description of I/O Messages Data
24 I/O Messages are available in the MD500-EN1 expansion card for data transmission,
in which 12 I/O messages transmit data from master station to slave station and another
12 I/O messages transmit data from slave station to master station.
The I/O Messages are used by the master station to modify and read AC drive data in real
time and perform periodic data exchange. Data communication addresses are directly
congured by the AC drive. The specic functions are as follows:
◆ Real-time setting of AC drive control command and target frequency
◆ Real-time reading of AC drive current state and operating frequency
◆ Function parameter and monitoring data real-time exchange between the AC drive
and Ethernet/IP master station
The I/O Messages data is used for periodic data exchange between the master station
and AC drive, as described in the following table.

3.2 Description of Data Transmitted by the Master
For details on the data transmitted by the master, see the following table.

mode)
01: Forward running
02: Reverse running
03: Forward jogging
04: Reverse jogging
05: Coast to stop

I/O Messages1
AC drive target frequency (frequency source set to "communication") in the
range of reverse frequency upper limit (negative value) to forward frequency
upper limit (decimal places included, for example, 2000 corresponds to 20.00
Hz on the AC drive).
When the set target frequency exceeds this range, the AC drive runs at the
frequency upper limit.
