6.2. Data Types to Use for Tag Data Links
The following data types are used for tag data links to communicate with Sensor Controller.
■Defining a data type for signal access (Union)
Data type to access control signals and status signals
■Defining a data type for command area access (Structure)
Data type to access the command area
Sensor head control signal1 (32 bit)
Sensor head control signal2 (32 bit)
Command parameter 1 (16 bit)
Command parameter 2 (16 bit)
Command parameter 3 (32 bit)
■Defining a data type for response and output area access (Structure)
Data type to access the response and output areas
Sensor head status signal1 (32 bit)
Sensor head status signal2 (32 bit)
Command code Echo (32 bit)
Output Data0 to 7 (32 bit)
For details on the union and structure types, refer to Memory Assignments and Commands in
4-1 EtherNet/IP Connection of the Displacement Sensor ZW-7000 series Confocal Fiber
Type Displacement Sensor User’s Manual for Communications Settings (Cat. No. Z363).
With Sysmac Studio, two methods can be used to specify an array for a data type.
After specifying, (1) is converted to (2), and the data type is always displayed as (2).
(1)BOOL[16] / (2) ARRAY[0..15] OF BOOL
In this document, the data type is simplified by displaying BOOL[16].
(The example above means a BOOL data type with sixteen array elements.)
