PROTOCOL-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
9.8 SLMP Client
9.8.1 Overview
SLMP (Seamless Messaging Protocol) is an application-level protocol implemented on top of the
Ethernet TCP/IP and UDP/IP layers that is typically used to read and write data from/to devices
supporting compatible 4E (MT) and 3E (ST) frame types. As a client device, the interface card will
initiate a read/write request to a server device. The server device will then respond with the appropriate
data.
For more information regarding the SLMP, the specification is available from CLPA (CC-Link Partner
Association).
Other notes of interest include:
• Supports both TCP and UDP transport layers.
• Target up to 8 remote server devices.
• Supports option to auto-detect the frame type. The frame type is prioritized in the following order: 3E
and 4E. Otherwise the frame type can be manually selected (refer to the server equipment user’s
manual).
• User-specified device codes allow the ability to target any device type, even if the device is not
explicitly supported by the driver.
• The driver can be configured to perform a timeout action.
