Applicable Communications Protocols
The communication protocols of each communication method that can be used with the Sensor are as follows:
Commu- Communi-
nications cations
method protocol
Contact Parallel Data is exchanged between an external device and the
inputs Sensor through combinations of ON/OFF signals from
multiple physical contacts.
Sensor's Standard Parallel Connection: p.34
Data shar- PLC Link This is OMRON's communications protocol for Vision
ing System.
The control signals, Command Area/Response Area, and
area to store measurement data are assigned in the I/O
memory of the PLC, and data is exchanged cyclically to
share data between the PLC and the Vision System.
Link Communication: p.122
EtherNet/IP This is an open communications protocol.
Tag data links are used for communication with the Sen-
sor.
On the PLC, structure variables are created that corre-
spond to the control signals, command/response data,
and measurement data. These variables are then used
as tags to input and output data through tag data links to
exchange data between the PLC and the Sensor.
erNet/IP Communication: p.88
PROFINET This is an open communications protocol.
RT (Real-time) of soft real-time communication (SRT) is
used for communication with the Sensor.
The control signals, Command Area/Response Area, and
area to store measurement data are assigned in the I/O
memory of the PLC, and data is exchanged cyclically to
share data between the PLC and the Vision System.
