4.5 Installation to a Modbus/TCP System
No special tools are required for operation of the X-SEL controller via Modbus/TCP on Ethernet.
Simply set the controller parameters, connect the Ethernet cable and turn on the power. The
Modbus/TCP server in the controller will be started, enabling remote I/O control.
The Ethernet port number of Modbus/TCP is fixed at “502.”
Modbus/TCP connection is established by specifying IP address port 502 for the X-SEL controller via
an OPC (OLE for process control) server or other Modbus/TCP software.
To check whether the network setup of the controller is correct, use a “ping” command (the command
for checking the status of communication on the IP level of TCP/IP using an MS-DOS prompt (or
command prompt in Windows NT/2000)) or similar command.
4.6 Installation to an EtherNet/IP System
EtherNet/IP is supported only by X-SEL controllers of P/Q types (main application version 1.05 or
later). Also note that to use EtherNet/IP, you need an interface board compatible with EtherNet/IP.
After assembling an interface board compatible with EtherNet/IP into the controller, set the controller
parameters, connect an Ethernet cable, and then turn on the power. The EtherNet/IP adapter of the
controller (equivalent to a slave) will start and the controller will be able to perform remote I/O control.
EtherNet/IP uses Ethernet port numbers 44818 and 2222.
You can establish EtherNet/IP connection by specifying the 44818 port corresponding to the IP
address of the X-SEL controller using the EtherNet/IP software.
Use the Ping command (a MS-DOS Prompt command that checks if TCP/IP communication is
enabled at the IP level), etc., to check if the network settings of the controller are appropriate.
