6. EtherNet/IP Settings 6. EtherNet/IP Settings This section describes specifications of parameters and the tag data link allocation that are set 6.1. Parameters in this document. The parameter settings that are set in this document are as follows: 6.1.1. EtherNet/IP Communications Settings The parameters required for connecting the PLC and the FZ5 Sensor Controller via EtherNet/IP are given below. *In this document, the gateway setting is unnecessary because the connection is made in the same segment.
Additional Information In order to prevent a phenomenon that a change in the status of each signal cannot be detected by the target device, it is recommended that you set the Output control setting for the FZ5 Sensor Controller to Handshaking. When the Output control of the FZ5 Sensor Controller is set to None, the originator device may not correctly detect a change in the status of a signal from the FZ5 Sensor Controller if RPI is longer than the output time (ON/OFF) on the FZ5 Sensor Controller. For details, refer to EtherNet/IP Communications Cycle (RPI) in Communicating with EtherNet/IP in Section 2.
