Mitsubishi Electric CR800 Series Ethernet Function Instruction Manual page 13

(4) The Ethernet functions are described below.
Refer to the section "3. Description of functions" for details on each function.
No. Outline of function
1) Controller communication function
Data can be communicated with the robot controller via
Ethernet. (Program upload/download, status monitor, etc.)
Personal computer support software (optional) is available as
an application.
2) Data link function
The value and position data can be linked between the
robot program and personal computer using MELFA-BASIC
V/VI language (OPEN/PRINT/INPUT command).
3) Real-time external control function
The position command data can be retrieved and operated at
the robot motion control cycle unit. Joint, XYZ or motor pulse
can be designated for the position data. It is also possible to
monitor the input/output signals or output the signals
simultaneously.
Control is started with the MXT command (MELFA-BASIC
V/VI language).
4) Real-time monitoring function
The current position, speed at the tip of the arm, and other
measurements can be monitored by a PLC or computer in
real time at the robot motion control cycle unit.
5) SLMP connection
The server functions of SLMP communications can be used
from the robot controller. Data can be read from and written
to a robot controller device from a PLC or computer via the
Ethernet.
6) CC-Link IE Field Network Basic function
CC-Link IE Field Network Basic slave stations are supported,
and the signals and registers of robot controllers can be input
and output via regular communications (cyclic
correspondence) with a PLC, computer, or other master
station.
CAUTION
These functions can all be used simultaneously, but be aware that when the network handles
large loads, communications slow down and may not reflect real-time information.
Remarks
* Communication with up to
16 clients is possible.
* By changing the
communication open
destination COM No.,
communication with
applications in up to 8 clients
is possible.
* The user must create an
application program on the
personal computer side to
control the robot.
* Communication is carried
out one-on-one.
* UDP communication is
used.
* Use UDP.
* Supported by CR800
series only. Not supported
