List of the Functions
This section lists the functions of the Ethernet adapter module.
(1) Communications with an external device
(2) CC-Link IE Field Network communications
(3) Other functions
Function
Description
Refer to
Communications
using SLMP
Communications
from an external
device
Device data can be read or written from an external device to a
module on the network where the Ethernet adapter module is
connected. Data also can be read or written from/to the Ethernet
adapter module.
Page 68, Section 7.1
Communications
from a CPU module
(on-demand
function)
Issuing a send request from the CPU module to the Ethernet adapter
module allows data to be sent to the external device.
Events such as link start instruction and read instruction can be
notified to an external device.
In addition, data can be simultaneously sent to all the external
devices on Ethernet where the Ethernet adapter module is also
connected (broadcast communications).
Page 90, Section 7.2
Communication using the specified IP
address over CC-Link IE Field Network
(IP packet transfer function)
With this function, communications using the specified IP address
can be performed over CC-Link IE Field Network. For example, a
personal computer connected to the Ethernet part can communicate
with another personal computer connected to a Built-in Ethernet port
QCPU.
Two networks of CC-Link IE Field Network and Ethernet are not
required, resulting in reduced wiring cost.

Connection to MELSOFT products or
GOTs The Ethernet adapter module can be also connected to MELSOFT
products or GOTs.

Function
Description
Refer to
Cyclic transmission
Data can be periodically exchanged with the master station through
link devices (RX, RY, RWr, and RWw).
Page 68, Section 7.1
Transient transmission
The devices or buffer memory of the Ethernet adapter module can be
directly accessed from the master or local station.
Requests from the master or local station to the Ethernet adapter
module are made with dedicated instructions.

Function
Description
Refer to
Device/buffer memory batch monitor
The values in the devices and buffer memory of the Ethernet adapter
module can be monitored.
Page 201, Section 10.6
Ethernet adapter diagnostics
Information such as the latest error that occurred in the Ethernet
adapter module and the status of the communications with an
external device can be checked.
