Communication protocols
4.1
Available interfaces
The Trajexia units have these interfaces to communicate:
/i
4.2
Ethernet
The TJ1-MC__ has a standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. You can use a
crossover or a patch Ethernet cable to connect the TJ1-MC__ to a PC.
To configure the interface, set these parameters:
/i
Make sure that the IP address of the PC is in the same range as the TJ1-
MC__: if the IP address of the TJ1-MC__ is
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
, the IP address
of the PC must be
aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx
, where
xxx
is 000 to 255 other than
ddd
.
You can change the IP address of the TJ1-MC__ to match the IP address of
your PC if you connect to the PC through a network hub or switch. For
example, of the IP address of the PC is 192.200.185.001, you can set the IP
address of the TJ1-MC__ to 192.200.185.002.
The subnet mask of the TJ1-MC__ is generic. It does not need to match with
the subnet mask of the PC.
Use the
Ethernet
command to read or write the Ethernet settings. It is
necessary to power off and on again the units for the changes to take effect.
You can check the IP address of the TJ1-MC__ with the Trajexia Tools
command-line and the
Ethernet
command: Type the command
Ethernet(0,
-1, 0)
at the command-line, and the IP address of the TJ1-MC__ shows on
the command-line.

TJ1-MC__
Ethernet
Trajexia Tools protocol
To program, monitor and debug
the project with Trajexia Tools.
FINS server
To communicate with any FINS
master, for example PLC, HMI, or
personal computer.
FINS client
To communicate to any FINS
server, for example PLC or
another Trajexia unit.
Serial
Host Link Master
To communicate with any Host
Link slave, for example an
OMRON PLC.
Host Link Slave
To communicate with any Host
Link master, HMI typically.
User defined
This protocol is created and han-
dled using BASIC commands.
TJ1-PRT
PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS Slave DP-V0
To exchange word variables with
any PROFIBUS master.
TJ1-DRT
DeviceNet
DeviceNet
To exchange word variables with
any DeviceNet master.
TJ1-ML__
MECHATRO-
LINK
MECHATROLINK
To communicate with supported
MECHATROLINK slaves. This
protocol is transparent to the
user.
Item
Default value
Comment
IP address
192.168.0.250
Set one IP address that is unique in the network.
Subnet mask
255.255.255.0
Set the same subnet that the LAN uses.
Gateway
0.0.0.0
The gateway is necessary to have remote access
from another LAN.
Note
The TJ1-MC__ does not have DHCP functionality, therefore it can-
not assign an IP address to a PC.
Note
You need to set the power of the Trajexia system off and back on
before the change of the IP address takes effect.
