Applying the Communication Setting to a Device
Supporting iQSS
The communication setting set in the "Ethernet Configuration" window can be applied to a device supporting iQSS.
Perform this function after adding, deleting or changing the setting of a device supporting iQSS.
Operating procedure
The target device supporting iQSS must be restarted after performing a reflection of communication setting to
Ethernet devices.
For the operating status of a device supporting iQSS, refer to the manuals of each device supporting iQSS.
Considerations when applying the communication setting to a device supporting iQSS
■Specifying a port number
• Do not specify '45237' for a port number in other devices on the same Ethernet network.
It may cause an error in other devices on the same Ethernet network.
• Do not specify the number from '61440' to '65534' for the own station port number.
• Do not specify the IP address of a device supporting iQSS for the IP address of an external device, nor the number from
'61440' to '65534' for the destination port number.
Doing so may cause an abnormal completion when performing a sensor parameter read/write.
■Changing the communication setting in the "Ethernet Configuration" window
When the communication setting written to a MELIPC in the "Ethernet Configuration" window does not match with that of a
device supporting iQSS, the communication cannot be established normally.
When the communication setting is changed in the "Ethernet Configuration" window, perform a reflection of communication
setting to Ethernet devices in order to match the communication setting between a MELIPC and a device supporting iQSS.
■Selecting devices supporting iQSS in the "Module List" window
A reflection of communication setting to Ethernet devices cannot be performed to a device supporting iQSS, which is selected
in the "Module List" window and dragged and dropped onto the 'List of devices' or 'Device map area'.

12.2 Applying the Communication Setting to a Device Supporting iQSS
1.
Enter the communication setting.
2.
Select a target device supporting iQSS in the "Ethernet
Configuration" window, then right-click and select [Online]
[Communication Setting Reflection of Ethernet Device] from
the shortcut menu.
The communication setting is applied to the target device
supporting iQSS.
When using a device supporting iQSS that does
not support the host name, even if the reflection
function of the communication setting is performed
with a host name entered, it will not be applied to
the device.
After performing the automatic detection function
of connected devices, the "Host Name" field will be
blank.
For the applicability of the host name of a device
supporting iQSS, refer to the manuals of each
device supporting iQSS.
