6520/920i EtherNet/IP Installation and Programming Manual
3.0 Commands
Commands are used by the EtherNet/IP master device
to send and receive data from the EtherNet/IP
Interface as integer or floating-point data. The master
sends eight bytes in the output format (used to write
commands to the indicator) and reads eight bytes in
the input format (used to read data from the indicator).
Decimal Point Handling
Integer commands return no decimal point information
to the master. For example, a value of 750.1 displayed
on the indicator is returned to the master as 7501.
Floating point commands support decimal point
information with no special handling.
3.1 Output Command Format
To perform a command, the master uses the output
command format to send four 16-bit words to the
EtherNet/IP Interface. These four words contain the
command and any parameters necessary to execute it.
The output command format is shown in Table 3-1.
The contents of each output command format word
are described below:
Command number
The number representing the indicator command is
sent in the first word. Table 3-2 lists the commands
that can be specified for 520 and 920i indicators.
NOTE: A lockout feature that looks for any change in the
output format data is incorporated into the indicator receive
mechanism to prevent inundation by the same command.
Repeated commands must be separated by any other valid
command/parameter/value combination.
