Target 1
Register target low-order PLCs and I/O devices in "Scan List" of FP0H and register
connection information. The registration is made for each target.
Register the following information in the connection information.
• Connected target information (IP address, Tag/Instance)
• Data area and size that corresponds to Tag/Instance
• Cyclic communication information (RPI, Communication method)
The FP0H establishes connections with targets registered in Scan List and performs the cyclic
communication.
Input direction
(Direction from Target to Originator)
Output direction
(Direction from Originator to Target)
KEY POINTS
Scan List is a list for setting the connection information with "Target". Use
•
Programming software FPWIN GR7 for the registration.
For registering other companies' EtherNet/IP devices in Scan List, the EDS
