Ethernet Specifications and Settings
The TS3000/TSL3000 controller has one Ethernet connector.
IP0 can communicate with the host computer using simple protocol, IP1 and IP2 can
communicate with an external device using non-protocol communication, and IP3 can
communicate with a dedicated device using a dedicated protocol.
This function uses TCP/IP protocol to enable communication on the same local area
network with computers and visual equipment on the Ethernet. This allows program
creation and editing, debugging start support, and maintenance using the computer
programmer TSPC.
Data can be sent and received by the robot program for exchanging numerical and
positional data.
INPUT and PRINT statements from SCOL language can be used to perform data input
and output.
Example: INPUT IP1, INDATA, PRINT IP1, OUTDATA, CR, etc.
3.1 Connections
If a hub is used to connect to an external device, connect using a straight cable. Use
a cross connect cable when connecting a computer directly to the controller. Some
devices have the automatic recognition function so that either a straight cable or cross
connect cable can be used, and so check the specifications of the device that is used.
