UDP/IP Communications

This section describes UDP/IP communications. In UDP/IP communications, the system does not establish a
connection and does not check whether each data has arrived at the destination normally, thereby reducing the load
on the line. However, UDP/IP communications do not guarantee data reliability as the TCP/IP communications do.
7.3.1

Communication process

Unlike TCP/IP communications, UDP/IP communications do not require connections to be established with connected
devices.
The server requests
data reception and
reads the received data.
● If a timeout has occurred in the alive check function, the corresponding bit of Open completion signal (address: 5000
automatically turns off and the communication line is closed.
● After the connected device sends a close request to the E71, wait for 500ms or more before performing an open process
again.
