Ethernet P2P channel is used when XGT FEnet I/F module executes the master function of
communication with built-in XGT protocol or user defined protocol.
[Fig. 7.3.2] Application of P2P channel information
(1) Setting of P2P channel
FEnet I/F module can send and receive data using up to 16 channels, which is composed of IP
address and port No. for two Ethernet devices. The number of channels available for P2P
service is the maximum number of channels (16) minus the number of dedicated connections in
the basic parameters (The number of P2P channels = 16 – the number of dedicated
connections).
P2P communication is available with simple parameters setting to communicate with the device
using XGT or Modbus TCP protocol for user’s convenience. And for the communication with
other devices than described above, user can directly define frames as necessary.
In addition, messages and e-mail addresses can be registered to transmit and receive e-mail
frames (ASCII supports).
However, it is not necessary to set the channel for e-mail communication.
If P2P channel is selected on the P2P setting window, the P2P channel setting window will appear
as follows:
