Exclusive Service for CIMON PLC Ethernet

  • Transport Layer: UDP/IP, TCP/IP

  • Half-Duplex (UDP/IP, TCP/IP)

  • Service Port: 10262(UDP/IP), 10260(TCP/IP)

 

PLC Link in Exclusive Network
This link is the protocol used to exchange high baud rate and large capacity data between CIMON PLCs. An Ethernet card is used. The specifications are as follows.

  • Transport Layer : UDP/IP (IP Broadcasting)

  • Port : 10264

  • Maximum number of Ethernet Modules connected: 64 modules

  • Each sending block has its peculiar communication interval and sends in broadcasting type.

  • Up to 64 words data can be sent, using a sending block.

  • The communication block set up to each PLC (Ethernet Module) can be assigned up to 64 blocks, putting sending blocks and sending blocks together.

  • A necessary block among other PLCs (Ethernet Module) in a network can be selected and assigned to a receiving block.

 

PLC Link Service in Common Network
This link is the protocol used to exchange low baud and large capacity data between CIMON PLCs. An Ethernet card is used. The specifications are as follows.

  • Transport Layer : UDP/IP

  • Port : 10268

  • Maximum number of Ethernet Modules connected: 64 modules

  • Up to 32 blocks per PLC can be assigned to sending blocks.

  • Up to 32 blocks per PLC can be assigned to receiving blocks.

  • Each receiving block has its peculiar communication interval.

  • Up to 64 words data can be sent, using a sending block.

  • The communication block set up to each PLC (Ethernet Module) can be assigned up to 64 blocks, putting sending blocks and sending blocks together.

  • A necessary block among other PLCs (Ethernet Module) in a network can be selected and assigned to a receiving block.

  • The IP Address of other node is stored in User Program Memory device (From 128th word), using Instruction TO. But, if there is not the block requesting to receive, the IP Address of the other may be stored.

 

Graphic Loader Service
Ethernet module is used to link with Graphic Loader (CICON). The specifications are as follows.

  • Transport Layer : UDP/IP (IP Broadcasting)

  • Service Port : 10266

 

TCP Modbus Service
Open Modbus Protocol is used to access the corresponding device. The specifications are as follows.

  • Transport Layer : TCP/IP

  • Service Port : 502
