Protocol Type
Select the application layer protocol for each connection according to the protocol supported by the remote
station.
The following table lists the protocols.
Refer to the following section for details on the protocols.
2.1 Overview (page 2-4)
If an error occurs during message communications with UDP (connectionless protocol), the following
may occur.
• The LINK/ACT indicator on the Ethernet connector may light or flash, communications data may be
lost, and communications may stop.
If this occurs, implement the following countermeasures.
1. Use Ethernet cables that meet the following requirements.
100Base-TX category 5 or better straight or cross twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors
2. Separate the Ethernet cables from power cables.
If the problem persists even after implementing the above countermeasures, implement the following
countermeasures.
1. Change to TCP (connection protocol).
2. If you continue to use UDP, add the following retry programming.
Retry programming: If processing does not end within a specific time after sending a command,
implement a timeout and execute the send execution command again.
Refer to the ladder program in the following section for a programming example.
