Communication Considerations
AboutCommunicationInterval
DataUpdate
The recorder data is updated in a scan interval. Even if a PLC accesses the data at shorter
intervals than the recorder scan intervals, the data is updated only at scan intervals.
Communication Interval
A PLC should access the recorder at intervals of 100 ms or longer.
* This is required to maintain compatibility with other protocols supported by the recorder
than EtherNet/IP.
AccesstoNon-existentData
If non-existent data is accessed, either of the following operations occur.
• 0 is read if non-existent data is read.
• Nothing is done if non-existent data is written.
Specialdata
Special data will have the following values:
Channel status Datatype
Integer(Int) Floating(Float)
+Over, +Burnout Maximum expressible value

–Over, –Burnout Minimum expressible value

Example: Channel status is “–Over”
