1. Introduction
Numbers of Inputs/Outputs
Using a Fieldbus master board, you can control 1,024 inputs (128 bytes) and 1,024 outputs
(128 bytes).
Also, using a Fieldbus slave board, you can exchange 256 inputs (32 bytes) and 256
outputs (32 bytes) with a master.
Connection Types
There are two types of messaging connections: I/O messaging connection and Explicit
messaging connection.
explained below:
Change Of State : A device sends data whenever it changes. Signals for device diagnosis
Cyclic
NOTE

For Change of State and Cyclic, the ACK which verifies communication completion can
be disabled by setting. However, never disable the ACK since communication errors
cannot be detected.

I/O messaging connection includes the following 2 methods
are sent regularly in the background. This connection type is useful for
remedying EtherNet/IP communication traffic.
: A slave device transfers data regularly according to its internal timer.
This connection type is typically used for communicating with a
temperature controller. The data transfer frequency is defined by
master configuration.
