1.2 Features of FEnet I/F Module
1.2.1 Characteristic of FEnet I/F module
XGT FEnet I/F module supports TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols and has the features as specified below;
Fast Ethernet (FEnet I/F module):
▶Module exchange on CPU RUN with module exchange switch in the CPU is possible.
▶Module exchange on CPU RUN with module exchange wizard of XG5000 is possible.
▶Conforms to IEEE 802.3 standard (Ethernet standard supported).
▶High-speed link service supported for communication between LSIS’ PLCs with high speed.
▶XG5000, a communication parameter configuration tool, is provided.
▶High-speed link block setting available to link between modules.
(Max. Send Data: 64blocks x 200 words, Max. Receive Data: 128 blocks x 200 words, Totally
128 blocks can be setup. (Send + Receive)) .
▶In addition to High-speed link service, Communication with up to 16 Ethernet devices is
available (dedicated communication + P2P communication).
▶Loader service (XG5000 connection) is supported through Ethernet: (dedicated TCP/IP PORT:
2002 allotted).
▶It is easy to connect with other company’s Ethernet device through P2P communication and
XG5000. (Variable READ/WRITE service is available (through Dynamic Connection))
▶10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T, 100BASE-FX/1000X media supported.
▶Data is accessible via the public network.
▶LS protocol (XGT) and other company’s protocol (MODBUS TCP) supported
(dedicated service)
▶Convenient client function supported for communication between LSIS’ PLCs and for
communication with other company’s Ethernet device.
(XGT, Modbus TCP P2P client function)
▶Dynamic IP supported to make ADSL network available
▶Access table provided for host PC (MMI) and communication security.
▶Dynamic Connection/Disconnection supported through P2P service.
▶Various diagnosis functions and status information of modules and network provided.
1) CPU module status
2) Communication module status
3) Communication service (High-speed link, dedicated service, P2P) status
4) Autoscan function used to visualize the information of LSIS’ communication
modules connected within the network
5) PING test function provided to check if other modules exist.
6) Type and average amount of packet received by communication module provided
(network load predictable)
7) Diagnosis function provided for communication module through the network.
▶E-MAIL service (ASCII) provided.
▶Up to 24 Ethernet communication modules can be installed on main and extension base.
(For XGR, FEnet module can be installed on only main base)
▶One IP Solution function provided (XGR O/S Version 2.4 or above)
