19.1 EtherNet/IP COMMUNICATION
19.1.1 Summary
EtherNet/IP is the abbreviation of Ethernet Industrial Protocol. It is an industrial open network in which the
TCP/IP protocol has been adopted and the CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) has been used in the
application layer as the communication protocol. EtherNet/IP is controlled by ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor
Association, Inc.).
The EtherNet/IP communication is available when the EtherNet/IP network card (LEC-S-N9) is connected to
the driver. The driver to which the EtherNet/IP network card is connected is a Generic device type.
(1) Various control modes supported
The driver supports the following control modes.
This is a positioning control mode where an end position command is received to drive the servo
motor in the commutation with a upper side.
Use an absolute position address or relative position address for a command.
This is a control mode where a target speed command is received to drive the servo motor in the
communication with a upper side.
This is a control mode where a target torque command is received to drive the servo motor in the
communication with a upper side.
This is a control mode where the driver performs a home position return using the method directed
by the upper side.
(2) Compliance with standards
drivers comply with the following standards. Refer to the following standards for the description not
written in this Manual.
