5.2. Frame definition
A frame is a constituent unit of the implicit communication of EtherNet/IP,
which can carry various types of outuput.
MG80-EI has 16 frames, numbered in alphabet A to P.
Each frame can carry output of freely selected axis, and its ouput type.
Default setting of the frames are Axis1~Axis16 in FrameA~FrameP with
Current (Real) value data.
Up to 16 frames can be used in each unit (maximum connection configuration:
MG80-EI x1, MG80-CM x 16, LZ80-K1/K2 x2).
The following is a setting example.
16 frames (frame number: A to P)
As above example, contents to output can be freely selected and set in one
frame. Various settings for each frame can be done with application for
Windows PC. The frame can be set freely from 1 to 16 regardless of the
number of connected MG80-CM. For example, the same settings (Axis and
ouput type) can be applied on all frames.
(Note)
-Calculations between different frames, such as adding frame A and frame B,
cannot be performed.
-The calculation function can be used only in one unit (MG80-CM connected
to MG80-EI).
