Chapter 14 Local Ethernet Function
To use the Local Ethernet function, user should set the parameters.
(1) TCP/IP Setting
IP address Specify the IP Address of the applicable motion controller.
Subnet mask
Value necessary to check if destination station is on the same network of the
applicable station.
Gateway
IP address of Gateway or Router to transmit/receive data through the public
network or a network different from the network where the applicable FEnet
Reception waiting time
If there is no request during the specified time from the host PC or HMI(Human
Machine Interface) connected for dedicated communication, it will end the
dedicated service connection regardless of normal ending procedures
supposing that the higher level system is with error.
This time is used in dedicated service to reset the channel when any error
occurs on the destination station or the cable is disconnected. (available range
is 2 ~ 255 sec)
Retransmission time-out
(10 ㎳)
It is the time it takes CPU to send a data to the destination station if the
destination station does not answer the data sent by applicable station during
setting time. (Applicable station considers it as a data missing.)
(available range is 10 ㎳ ~ 6000 ㎳)
* Note : Retransmission time-out should be set depending on the network
situation.
If the setting time is too long, it takes a long time to resend a data in case of
data missing.
This will deteriorate the network performance. But if the setting ti
short, there is a chance to make a frequent disconnection or increase the load
Number of dedicated
connections
Number of TCP dedicated services accessible at a time. (Max.4)
(2) Driver(Server) setting
XGT server Set when operated as dedicated communication server (slave)
Modbus TCP/IP server Set when operated as Modbus server driver (slave)
