3.3 Function List
This section lists the E71 functions.
3.3.1 Function list
The following table lists the functions of the E71.
(1) Basic functions
The following table lists the basic E71 functions explained in this manual.
Function Description Reference
Connecting with MELSOFT products and a GOT
An E71 can be connected with MELSOFT products, such as
a programming tool and MX Component, and a GOT.
Page 82, CHAPTER 8
MC protocol communications
CPU module data can be read/written from/to connected
devices. Access to files can be also performed.
Page 85, CHAPTER 9
Communications using SLMP
The connected device can read/write data from/to the buffer
memory or device of an SLMP supporting device connected
to the shared network with the E71. In addition, the
connected device can read/write data from/to the device of
the CPU module where an E71 is connected.
Page 89, CHAPTER 10
Data communications using the predefined
protocol
Data can be sent/received with protocols appropriate to each
connected device.
The connected device side protocol can be easily selected,
or created/edited from the Predefined Protocol Library of GX
Works2.
Page 95, CHAPTER 11
Communications
using a fixed buffer
Procedure exists
Any data is sent/received between a CPU module and
connected devices using the fixed buffer of an E71.
Page 120, CHAPTER 12
No procedure
Pairing open
Paring receiving/sending connections enables data
communications with two connections by performing the
open process for one port.
Page 139, Section 12.7
Broadcast
communications
Broadcast communications are enabled with all E71-
connected stations in the same Ethernet network that is
connected to the E71 when "No Procedure" communications
using a fixed buffer are performed using UDP/IP.
Page 141, Section 12.8
Communications using a random access buffer
Data is read/written from multiple connected devices to the
random access buffer of an E71.
Page 154, CHAPTER 13
Router relay function
Data communications are performed through a router and a
gateway. This function is not the function where an E71
operates as a router.
Page 169, Section 14.1
Communications using an auto-open UDP port
Communications are enabled without the open/close
processes after an E71-connected station is started up.
Page 174, Section 14.2
IP filter function
The IP address of the connected device to be allowed or
denied access is set in the buffer memory, and access from
connected devices is restricted.
Page 175, Section 14.3
Remote password Unauthorized remote access to a CPU module is prevented. Page 181, Section 14.4
Hub connection status monitor function
The current connection status and transmission speed of an
E71 and a hub and the number of times that the E71
detected disconnection can be checked.
