Chapter 8 Register Structure 8.3.1 FUN201command [Operation condition] FUN201 command is in function box without execute condition and in normal scan. When you write a data to control register in EH-ETH, set control type "H0003". When you read a data from status register in EH-ETH, set control type "H0001(handshake valid)" or "H0002(handshake invalid)".

Appendix Fundamenntals of TCP/IP Appendix Fundamentals of TCP/IP IP address In general, 32 bits logical address called IP address is used in TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocol. IP address is consisted by Network address and Host address. The boundary of Network address and Host address has three types upper 8bits, 16bits or 24bits.

Appendix Fundamenntals of TCP/IP IP(Internet Protocol) and routing table IP sends an IP packet having IP header and Data to the destination Host or the Router exists on the route way to the destination Host by using the Link layer standing for the Ethernet. The reliability is not so good, because there are no confirmation of response, retry of sending, detecting of error and connection on the IP level.
