General Section
Section G1 Introduction to Communication Modes
You can perform Ethernet communication with an external device by connecting a communication expansion board or
communication expansion unit to an SPF series CPU.
Each communication board and communication expansion unit has one physical port. Up to eight logical ports can be used per
physical port. However, if two or more ports are simultaneously used, responses of communication deteriorate.
For details, see “G1-2 Communication Port.”
The following communication modes are available.
(1) General purpose communication
(2) Loader communication (server operation)
(3) Loader communication (client operation)
G1-1 Overview of Communication Modes
(1) General purpose communication
The “general purpose communication” mode allows data sending (or receiving) with external devices by TCP/IP or UDP/IP.
You need to create a communication program on the SPF side. Use “C_ETHERNET” FB.
Connect to communication expansion board/unit

General Section
(2) Loader communication (server operation)
The “loader communication (server operation)” mode supports TCP/IP only (UDP/IP is not supported). The connections shown
below are available.
1) Connection to POD (MONITOUCH)
No application program for communication is required on the SPF side.

General Section
(3) Loader communication (client operation)
The “loader communication (client operation)” mode supports TCP/IP only (UDP/IP is not supported.)
This mode is used to read/write the data memory in target device (SPH or SPF).
“R_READ”(forreadingdata)and“R_WRITE”(forwritingdata)FBsareusedforcommunication.StarttheseFBstosenda
loader command from the self station to the target device.
No communication program is required on the target device since it operates as a server.

Notes:
About the number of logical ports
The communication expansion board (or unit) has a maximum of 8 logical ports per unit.
In loader communication (server operation) mode, one of them is in an open request waiting state (listening state)
automatically. Therefore, even if no port is opened, the number of ports that can be used for the communication FB is 7 at
the maximum.
In addition, if a loader command device is connected (a port is opened) in this condition, one port is used by the loader
command device and another port automatically goes into an open request waiting state (listening state). The number of
remaining logical ports is 6. (A maximum of 6 ports can be used by the communication FB.)

General purpose
communication
Communication between the PLC and other nodes is performed by using TCP/IP
or UDP/IP protocol. Because of free data format, it is possible to communicate with
all kinds of nodes.
Loader communication
(Server operation)
Communication with a POD or loader, host PC is performed by a loader command.
No communication program is required on the PLC side.
Loader communication
(Client operation)
The data memory in the target device (another SPH or SPF) is read or written.
“R_READ”(forreadingdata)and“R_WRITE”(forwritingdata)FBsareusedfor
communication.
Start these FBs to send or receive a loader command from the self station to the
target device.
Access method CSMA/CD
Transmission protocol TCP/IP, UDP/IP, ICMP (TYPE = 0, 3, 8), ARP
Max. number of simultaneous
communicable nodes
(number of communication ports)
8 stations / physical port
Note: The maximum number of communication ports that one CPU can
simultaneously open is 16 when using both an Ethernet front board and a
left side unit.
However, responses of communication deteriorate as the number of
communication ports per CPU increases.
Transmission code Binary only
Notes:
1) Notes on auto-negotiation
Pay attention to the communication mode of the connection destination device (such as a HUB).
 Ifthecommunicationmodeoftheconnectiondestinationdeviceisaxedmode(forexample,10M,full-duplex),SPFmay
not be able to recognize it, resulting in a communication error.
If the communication mode of the connection destination device is auto-negotiation, communication can be normally
performed.
