6.2 EIP Service
EtherNet/IP is divided into a periodic message service (Implicit Service), and an aperiodic message service (Explicit
Service). In XBL-EIPT module these two services are incorporated to be provided as periodic/client server and aperiodic
client.
In Periodic Client / Server Service, the tag for communication must be set up in parameter system. Thus, client and server
tag must be shared with information for communication when parameter is exchanged. In XGB EhterNet/IP I/F module,
client and server must be set up with XG5000. Make sure client is set up in periodic client and sever is set up with periodic
server. For the detail contents, see CH 6.3.
Aperiodic client service must be communicated after you put the tag to be communicated and communication set-up. Thus,
when required from client, server receives al information in frame and translates, and responds. In other words, it is the
service without setting up from server side.
In this part, EIP types and use methods provided to a user are described.
The flowing refers to the order for making up the program using EIP.
