Glossary
The following terms are used in this manual and the EtherNet/IP setting tool.
Term
Description
Originator The side which opens the connection of the cyclic communication is called
originator, i.e. controllers such as PLC.
Target The side which the connection is opened is called target, such as PLC, I/O devices.
Scan List
Connection setting with targets registered in FP0H. Information required for the
communication with the targets and the device allocation of own unit are registered.
For FP0H, the connection with targets are established according to the scan list.
I/O map Information required for the transmission from the own unit (FP0H) to other PLCs
and the device allocation of the own unit are registered.
EDS file
(Electric data sheet)
EDS files are provided for each product by each vendor. This file contains the
information on the communication for registering targets in the scan list.
The EDS files of each target should be registered for constructing the scan list with
the setting tool.
Node no.
A node number is set when a target is registered in the scan list.
Numbers that do not overlap are allocated in the scan list as node numbers.
Node numbers are not used in the cyclic communication, however, as each target is
recognized by these numbers, they are used for monitoring the communication
state of each node or controlling the start/stop of the communication.
Connection setting The details of the connections with targets registered in the scan list are set.
Node name Arbitrary node names can be given.
Device name Device names of targets. The device name is registered in the EDS file.
Connection Name The type of the connection manager registered in the EDS file is selected by the
name. By selecting this, the application type (communication method) is changed.
Application Type
The communication method can be selected by the application type.
Three communication methods are available;
1: Exclusive Owner (Two-way communication)
2: Input Only
3: Listen Only
Although "Exclusive Owner" and "Input Only" are independent connections, "Listen
Only" can be connected only when either of the above connections is established,
and it will be automatically cut if the independent connection is disconnected.
Also, it will be reconnected automatically when the above independent connection
is reconnected.
When FP0H is used as a target, "Input Only" can be selected.
Compatibility Check
Set the operation method of "Compatibility Check" , which checks the information of
the connected target device against the revision of the EDS file.
Three verification methods are available. The default is "Follow Adapter(Target)
Rule".
1: Check
2: Not check
3: Follow Adapter(Target) Rule

Term Description
Communication Method
(Tag/Instance)
For connecting from an originator to target, there are two methods to specify the
device area of the target.
- by specifying numbers (Instance)
- by specifying symbols (Tag).
When setting connections, the methods available for each target are displayed.
For using the FP0H as a target, either method can be selected.
However, the selectable instance numbers for the instance method are 100 to 199.
Input Send Trigger
The transmission timing is selected from Cyclic or COS (Change of state).
However, COS depends on devices.
COS is basically a cyclic communication, however, it also performs transmission
when sent data changes.
The FP0H does not support COS.
COS Transmission
Disable Time
Transmission disable time (RPI of input information x 1/4) is displayed when "Input
Send Trigger" is set to "Change of State (COS)".
Even if the unit detects the change in data, it is not sent within the transmission
disable time.
Timeout Period
In the cyclic communication, transmission data is sent as UDP packet. The timeout is
judged on a receiver side.
The timeout period is selected from 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 times of RPI.
The timeout period should be 10 msec or more.
RPI can be specified for T>O direction and O>T direction separately, so each timeout
period may be different values.
Input Information (T>O) This is the setting for the transmission from a target to the FP0H (originator).
Output Information
(O>T) This is the setting for the transmission from the FP0H (originator) to a target.
RPI
(Requested Packet
Interval)
Set the transmission interval for the cyclic communication. Set a value within the
communication capacity of a target. The usable RPI range depends on devices.
For the FP0H, it is 1 ms to 10 s (by 0.5 ms).
Point to Point
(1:1 communication)
One to one communication is performed between an originator and a target.
Transmitted packets are received only by each other.
Other devices connected to the same HUB do not receive those transmission
packets.
Multicast
(Multicast
communication)
Transmission data is sent as a multicast packet. By connecting multiple originators to
one target, one multicast packet can be received by multiple originators.
(Note) Multicast packets are basically received by all devices connected to the same
HUB which includes the devices unrelated to the communication, and it leads to an
unnecessary communication load.
When using the multicast communication, set not to exceed 100% by the load factor
calculation of the setting tool.
TTL TTL (Time To Live) is used to set the hierarchies of the network in which transmission
packets can exist when sending multicast packets to other PLCs.
Instance ID/Tag name Set an instance ID or tag name according to the communication method of the
selected connection.
Data Size The data sizes of the originator and target for the cyclic communication must be the
same. When they do not match, the communication cannot be performed.
Parameter setting Data size, instance ID and other parameters that can be changed in the EDS file can
be changed.
PPS performance index
(Packet per sec) This is an index of sent/received packets processed in one second.

Glossary
iv
Term
Description
Normal packet and
large packet
The packet whose size is within 510 bytes is called normal packet. The packet whose
size is 511 bytes to 1444 bytes is called larget packet.
The maximum communication performance varies according to the data size used for
communication.
Performance index of FP0H
For 510 bytes or less: Max. 5000 pps
For 511 bytes or more: Max. 2500 pps
Protocol used for
cyclic communication The cyclic communication is performed using UDP. The used port number is 2222.
Heartbeat
For "Input Only" or "Listen Only", a packet called heartbeat whose data size is zero is
sent from the originator (FP0H). For the RPI of the heartbeat, the value 16 times of the
RPI of transmitted data from a target is automatically applied.
The heartbeat is used for confirming the continuation of the connection on the target
side. It is used for detect the timeout.
Forward open This is a command for opening the connection of EtherNet/IP and sent using TCP. The
used port number is 44818.
Large forward open This is a command for opening the connection when sending/receiving data whose
size is larger than 511 bytes.
RUN/IDLE bit
Operation state flag (RUN/IDLE) sent by connected devices in cyclic communication.
RUN ：1
IDLE ：0
When the RUN/IDLE bit of the originator does not change to RUN, the target may not
operate properly. For details, refer to "5.2.3 RUN/IDLE Bit".
•Do not use "2222" and "44818" for the port numbers set to the connections
of Ethernet communication.

1.1 What is EtherNet/IP?
1.1.1 Overview of EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) is an industrial multi-vendor realtime Ethernet
system for executing the communication protocol for CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) control
in an application layer on standard Ethernet.
Cyclic communication can be performed among devices compatible with EtherNet/IP. In cyclic
communication, devices compatible with EtherNet/IP send or receive data between "specified
data areas" in a "specified cycle". Even when the number of nodes increases, the cycle does
not increase.
For information on CIP, refer to the documents of ODVA.
1.1.2 FP0H EtherNet/IP Function
The FP0H can perform the cyclic communication with PLCs and I/O devices compatible with
EtherNet/IP on the EtherNet/IP network.
The send and receive areas are allocated from the device area of the FP0H for the cyclic
communication. Data is sent/received from the allocated area with specified intervals (RPI).
The EtherNet/IP function of FP0H is set from the "EtherNet/IP settings" menu of programming
software FPWIN GR7.
Originator and Target
In each connection (communication line) of cyclic communication, there are "originator" which
opens each connection and "target" which a connection is opened.
The PLC (FP0H) can be set as the both originator and target.
For the communication between the FP0H and a PLC, the settable connection is "Input Only"
(i.e. data can be sent in one direction, from target to originator). By using two connections,
data can be sent and received.

2.1.1 Overview of Cyclic Communication
The cyclic communication is a function to perform data transmission with constant intervals
(RPI) between PLC and PLC or PLC and I/O device on the EtherNet/IP network.
In the cyclic communication, one device opens a communication line which is called
connection for a destination device. The side which opens the connection (communication
line) is called "originator", and the side which the connection is opened is called "target".
Opens connections.
PLC PLC I/O device
Originator Target
Connection information on the cyclic communication is set in the originator. The originator
connects to the target according to the connection information. The tag/instance required for
the connection from the originator is registered in the target.
Once the connection is open, the cyclic communication begins according to the settings of the
connection information.
