Functional Specifications
Items
Specifications
Configuration
- Set up EH-ETH2’s Communication parameter with the dedicated software
“EH-ETH2 Configurator”.
- The configuration for IP address setting and Taskcode communication should be
done at Configuration mode.
(*1)
- The ASR information should be changed at Configuration mode or normal
operation mode.
(*1)
- IP address or configuration for taskcode communication can be also done by the
user program.
Sending
data
There are two sending functions.
1. "Cyclic Sending" is periodically-sending function.
2. "Event Sending" is voluntarily-sending function.
- It is possible to change the sending functionality for every ASR connection.
- It is possible to use EH-ETH2 Configurator to change function of sending, to
specify the attention of sending data and to specify the source of sending area.
Cyclic
Sending
This should be specified when it is no need to keep synchronizing the data of
source area.
- It is possible to send the data with only specifying the attention of destination,
area of source and time of cyclic.
- There is no need to prepare the user program to take care the operation for
sending.
(*2)
Event
Sending
The user program is required to control the everything related with sending
operation.
Receiving
data
There are two types Receiving mode. One is Normal mode. The other is Optional
mode.
[Normal mode]
This should be specified when it is no need to keep synchronizing the data of
destination area.
- It is possible to receive the data into destination area with only specifying the
attention of source and area of destination.
- There is no need to prepare the user program to take care the operation for
receiving.
(*2)
[Optional mode]
This should be specified when it is need to keep synchronizing the data of
destination area.
- It is required to prepare the user program to take care the receiving data into the
destination area.
H-protocol
(Taskcode Communication)
- It is possible to specify TCP/IP or UDP/IP.
- It is possible to communicate using H/EH series taskcode (H-protocol).
Test
mode
- Peer to peer sending and receiving test is available.
*1: It is required to operate dipswitch setting when changing the operation mode.
*2: You need to make the user program for error procedure at communication abnormal according to your
system.
