7.4 Data Format

When communicating between the Ethernet module and an external device, the data
format explained below is used.
The communication data consists of a "header" and "application data" as shown below.
Header Application data
(1) Header
The header for TCP/IP or UDP/IP is used. In case of the Ethernet module, the
Ethernet module adds and deletes the header. Thus, the user does not need to
set it.
(Details of the size of the header section)
1) In case of TCP/IP
Ethernet
14 bytes
2) In case of UDP/IP

(2) Application Data
The data code in the application data is expressed in binary code.
Communication is performed using binary code, regardless of the set
communication data (see Section 4.6).
