Ethernet Communication
8.1 Overview
The LS8500-4 has an Ethernet port that can be used to collect data and configure settings. Measurement
data and configuration settings are available over both the TCP and UDP protocols. For ease of use, the
LS8500-4 can act as a DHCP client, automatically obtaining a network IP address from a DHCP server. Also,
it supports host name advertisement to the DHCP server.
8.2 Supported Protocols
In general, TCP should be used for configuration settings and UDP for real-time measurement data. All data
and configuration commands are available over both protocols, but UDP has much lower overhead, so it is
better suited for continuous, high-speed, data output. TCP is a slower protocol that guarantees delivery of
each packet, so it is better suited for configuring settings. TCP and UDP can be used concurrently.
The LaserSpeed Pro 8500-4 also support the following Ethernet-based fieldbus protocols:
EtherNet/IP™
Profinet IO™
Modbus TCP™
