4-39165838-1CDHW14819854 EtherNet/IP Function Setting4.5 Communication StatusEtherNet/IPCommunication4.5 Communication StatusTo the one byte at the head of EtherNet/IP(CPU board) input data which isallocated to an external input signal (20060 to 20067 in the abovementioned example) indicates the communication status of EtherNet/IP(CPU board). Alarming for communication error using a statusBy using CIA ladder and universal alarms, an alarm can be generatedwhen EtherNet/IP(CPU board) detects a communication error.Following is the example of above mentioned case.Regard that following two alarms are generated.• EtherNet/IP operation error• EtherNet/IP communication errorFor the registration of the universal alarms, refer to section 13.7“I/O Message and I/O Alarms” in the “DX200 OPTIONS INSTRUCTIONFOR CONCURRENT I/O”.When the EtherNet/IP(CPU board) detects an error and it is reported by acommunication status error, a ladder program in which an alarm isgenerated in accordance with an error signal is created.Followings are the procedures for registering the above mentioned alarmsby universal alarms. Also, a ladder program which generates the error isindicated.Signal Description2xxx0 to 2xxx3 Vendor-reserved (not available)2xxx4 Indicates the existence of an error at the EtherNet/IP adaptorcommunication.Normal status: 0Communication error: 12xxx5 Indicates the existence of a non-connected device at theEtherNet/IP scanner communication.Connecting to all devices normally: 0Non-connected device exists: 12xxx6 Indicates the status of EtherNet/IP communication.Normal status: 0Communication error: 12xxx7 Indicates the operating status of the EtherNet/IP (CPU board).Normal status: 0Communication error: 1[Alarm No.]Alarm nameSignal No.(Communication status signalMeanings[9065]EtherNet/IP operation error20067(Communication status signal: 2xxx7)EtherNet/IP board Operationstatus error[9066]EtherNet/IPcommunication error20066(Communication status signal: 2xxx6)Communication error61 of 91
