Ethernet Connector Indicators
You can check the error status of Ethernet communications. This section describes the indicator lighting
patterns.
* If a communications error occurs when message communications are used with a UDP connection type, communica-
tions data may be lost or communications may stop when the LINK/ACT indicator for the Ethernet connector lights or
flashes because UDP does not use connections. If this occurs, use the following corrections.
• Use straight or crossover 100Base-TX (category 5 or higher) Ethernet cables.
• Separate the Ethernet cables from power cables.
If the above corrections do not solve the problem, use a TCP connection type. If you use a UDP connection type, write the pro-
gram to retry Send Message Execute Commands with the MSG-SNDE message function. Refer to the following section for infor-
mation on resend programming for the MSG-SNDE message function of the MP Series.
