4.7 Error check delay for EtherNet/IP
Due to the specification of EtherNet/IP device, it needs some time to wait for the establishment of EtherNet/IP
communication, for example at the timing of power on or initializing sequence. In this case, robot controller may
detect the error of “E960: Some or all I/O links are currently stopped”. In order to avoid this error, it is possible to
delay the error check timing.
IMPORTAN
T
When error check delay is used, it is possible to operate the robot before EtherNet/IP
communication is established. If any operation such as start is attempted in this period, robot
controller detects the error of “E960: Some or all I/O links are currently stopped” even before
elapsing of the error check delay time.
How to set the EtherNet/IP error check delay time
1
Open <Constant Settings> -[8 Communication] -[3 Fiedlbus].
>> The following screen will appear.
2
Press the f key <Fieldbus Error Detail>.
>> The following screen will appear.
3
Set the “EtherNet/IP error check delay time” and press [Enter] key.
4
Press the f key <Complete>.
POINT
At the timing of the EtherNet/IP communication establishment , “Fieldbus act.” output signal
is immediately turned on even before elapsing of the error check delay time.
