1 Introduction
This product is an IF module that enables data communication using EtherNet/IP.
1.1 About EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IPisanEthernetstandardforindustrialuse.ThespecicationismanagedbytheOpenDe-
viceNet Vendor Association, Inc. (ODVA) and is freely available. EtherNet/IP communicates using
standard Ethernet technology and a protocol called CIP (Common Industrial Protocol). Therefore, it can
coexist on a network along with Ethernet.
EtherNet/IP establishes a connection between the target devices for data communication before send-
ing data. To establish the connection, one device requests the other device to open the connection and
the other device accepts it. In EtherNet/IP communication, a node that makes a request for opening the
connection is called the "originator", and the node that accepts the request is called the "target".
Also, devices that function as originators are called "scanners", and devices that only function as targets
are called "adapters".
1.2 Features of This Product
This product connects to the LSM controller and is used together with the LSM controller and sensors
connected to the controller to form an LSM system.
This product acts as an adapter for EtherNet/IP for communication with devices (such as PLCs) that
function as EtherNet/IP scanners.
With cyclic communication, data such as the control status of the controller and the sensor that is con-
nected to the controller as well as the current position of the workpiece can be output to the EtherNet/IP
scanner device (PLC, etc.).
For details about cyclic communication, see "5.1CommunicationSpecication"onpage17.
For details about the controller, see "Laser Scan Micrometer <Controller> User's Manual" (separate
document).
For details about the sensor, see "Laser Scan Micrometer <Sensor> User's Manual" (separate docu-
ment).

<Controller> User's Manual" (separate document).
Sensor This is the sensor unit of the Laser Scan Micrometer. LSM-02-A
(0.005 mm–2 mm) or LSM-30-A (0.3 mm–30 mm) can be used.
For details, see "Laser Scan Micrometer <Sensor> User's Manual"
(separate document).
LSMPAK (PC) This is software used for controlling the controller. It is installed for
use on a personal computer.
The personal computer on which LSMPAK is installed is connected to
the controller through a USB or Ethernet connection.
For details about the controller, see "Laser Scan Micrometer
<Controller> User's Manual" (separate document).
Scanner (PLC, PC, etc.) This is device that communicates with this product and functions as
an adapter in EtherNet/IP communication.
