Panasonic EYFR03 - Backwards Compatibility Assembly Object Connection Points

EYFR03 User Manual 89 of 110 v1.6.0
Chapter 7: EtherNet/IPTM 20 January 2020
Backwards Compatibility Assembly Object Connection Points
The EYFR03 provides some connection points designed to match the connection points of the
EYFR01. These points are not recommended for new installations.
In the EYFR01, the parameters were represented primarily as ‘A’ – ‘H’, but allowed 0 – 7 and
‘0’ – ‘7’. Since the EYFR03 starts at parameter 1 and does not have a parameter 0, an offset will
be applied to the parameter value in the compatibility points. A value of ‘A’, ‘0’, or 0 in these
connections will select parameter 1, a value of ‘B’, ‘1’, or 1 will select parameter 2; and so on in
the EYFR03. For T->O compatibility connection points, ‘A’ will be output if parameter 1 is
running, ‘B’ if parameter 2 is running and so on.
Data Types
Most data types used correspond to the data types in the EtherNet/IP
TM
specification and IEC
1131-3. One additional data type is defined for backwards compatibility points:
Name
Size (bytes)
Description
CHAR
1
Character in the ASCII range. Used to indicate fields that should be
interpreted as characters rather than numeric values, where USINT
would be used instead. When used in an array, indicates a fixed-
length string instead of the length prefixed strings defined by the
specification.
Fixed-length arrays are represented as TYPE[n] where TYPE is the element type and n is the
number of elements.
Output (O->T) Connection Points
Connection points in the 15x range correspond to the masks used with the EYFR01, which used
only 150 as the output connection point. These connection points are provided for backwards
compatibility and are not recommended for new installations. New data configurations start at
connection point 160.
150
This connection point corresponds to the default mask of the EIP network card for the EYFR01.
Name
Data Type
Description
Parameter
USINT
Selects a parameter for the EYFR03 to run. May be any value in the ranges
0-7, ‘0’-‘7’, ‘A’-‘H’ (see above for details). Values outside these ranges
will cause the current parameter to be stopped and leave no parameter
running.
Batch Reset
USINT
When this value changes, the batch will be reset.
Suspend
BOOL
When true, suspends the EYFR03.
Batch
USINT
The number of tightenings to run per batch for the selected parameter.
Ignored if 0.
Time
CHAR[6]
ASCII digits of qualifier time in HHMMSS format. Ignored if Date field
does not represent a valid date.
Date
CHAR[6]
ASCII digits of qualifier date in MMDDYY format. Ignored if Time field
does not represent a valid time.
Min Torque
CHAR[6]
ASCII digits and decimal point (‘.’) representing the value. Not used by the
EYFR03.
Max Torque
CHAR[6]
ASCII digits and decimal point (‘.’) representing the value. Not used by the
EYFR03.
Min Angle
CHAR[5]
ASCII digits representing the value. Not used by the EYFR03.
