EtherNet/IP
This section describes an overview of EtherNet/IP.
EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP is an industrial communications network proposed by ODVA (Open
DeviceNet Vendor Association, Inc.).
EtherNet/IP communication can share the network with normal Ethernet
communication.
Scanner and adaptor
In EtherNet/IP communication, one device opens a communication line called
"connection" to another device.
The device which opens the connection is called the "scanner" (originator), and the
receiving device is called the "adaptor" (target). A PLC is primarily used as the
scanner. The SR-750 becomes the adaptor device.
Cyclic communication and message communication
In EtherNet/IP, there is cyclic communication (Implicit message) that handles
periodic sending and receiving of data, and there is also message communication
(Explicit message) which handles sending and receiving of commands/responses
arbitrarily.
Cyclic communication
In cyclic communication, RPI (communication cycle) can be set according to the
priority of data that is sent and received. Overall communication load adjusted data
can be sent and received.
Message communication
In message communication, timing is controlled through commands/responses.

SR-750 Series EtherNet/IP function overview
The following describes the functions that can control the SR-750 Series using
EtherNet/IP.
List of applicable PLC models
Refer to each PLC instruction manual for the corresponding PLC setting
procedures.
PLC manufactured by KEYENCE
PLC manufactured by Rockwell Automation
PLC manufactured by Omron
Function
Description
Reading instruction
Performs reading instructions.
Also performs reading end, bank setting reading, etc.
Preset instructions
Records successfully read data as preset data.
Also registers or deletes preset data from the PLC.
Calibration
instructions
Performs calibration. Can save calibration results in the set bank.
Error-handling
Checks the cause of the error that occurred in the main unit, and
returns the error.
(Example: Buffer overflow check/cancellation)
Main unit status
acquisition
Checks the main unit status (BUSY status).
Operation results
acquisition
Acquires read data.
When set to silent mode, the read data is not updated.
Terminal status
acquisition
Acquires input terminal and output terminal status.
Main unit reset
instructions
Displays the SR-750 Series software reset.
NOTICE
About the exclusion process
The SR-750 Series can simultaneously give control instructions to
multiple interfaces (I/O terminal, RS-232C, Ethernet Communication
(TCP/IP), EtherNet/IP communication, test key operation). However,
when a control instruction is being received from one interface,
instructions from other interfaces cannot be received.
