1.1 Preparation

The high-speed Ethernet server function is a new communication protocol
to enable high-speed Ethernet communication between the DX100 and
external devices such as PC, etc.
Followings are the characteristics of this function.
(1) It becomes possible to communicate in more than two times
higher peed than the present Ethernet server function and more
then 5 times higher speed than the present Ethernet data trans-
mission function.
(2) It combines the present Ethernet data transmission function (host
control) and the present Ethernet server function. (except for
some functions)
(3) It corresponds to the file receiving/transmission function to which
the present Ethernet server function dose not correspond.
(4) It is incompatible to the present data transmission function (host
control) and the present Ethernet server function. Therefore,
MotoCom communication library (Ver3.6), which corresponds to
the high-speed Ethernet server function, will be released at the
same time.
(5) It is also possible to create a communication program without
using MotoCom since this function is publishing its communication
protocol.
(6) To maintain the compatibility with existing communication soft-
ware, the present data transmission function and the present
Ethernet server function are still available.
Preparation
This high-speed Ethernet server function is an expansion option to the
DX100 Ethernet function. In this reason, when using this function, the PC
should be ready to use the DX100 Ethernet function.

Restriction

• This function cannot use concurrently with MotoPlus function, PP
customizing function, other Ethernet functions and the data
transmission function (serial).
• To increase the speed, the protocol of this function was modified.
Therefore, it has no compatibility with the data transmission function
and the Ethernet server function.
To retain the compatibility, MotoCom communication library (Ver3.6)
will be released at the same time with this function. Please use
MotoCom communication library of later version than Ver3.6.
