Q1: Could you please confirm that GW-7472 works with SLC-500 (SLC5/05) without any

problems?

A1: We never test GW-7472 this device with SLC-500. But this device ever tested with the Hilscher

CIFX 50-RE Ethernet/IP master. It can communicate with the master via following I/O connection

methods.

(1) Transport and trigger: Exclusive-Owner, Cyclic

(2) Original to Target Type: POINT2POINT, (MULTICAST not supported)

(3) Target to Original Type: POINT2POINT, MULTICAST

Q2: In some case, the byte order of the AI/AO word data in the communication is reversed, i.e.

low byte is MSB and high byte is LSB. Is there a byte swapping function?

A2: After the firmware version 1.5 of GW-

7472, the utility supports the “Byte Order Setting” as shown

in the following figure.
