15 Communication via the process interface (device dependant)
This chapter provides an overview of the process interface of the device.
15.1 Process interface via TCP/UDP (device dependant)
15.1.1 Configuration of the Ethernet interface
The device is integrated via the process interface using an Ethernet connection and pre-configured port 23
("Telnet"). For this purpose, connect the device with your machine and set the parameters, in particular the
configuration of the IP address, using the Application Suite.
You can change the Application Suite parameters under: Device → Device settings → Process interface.
The following parameters are also required to control the logical transfer of the process data:
Parameters
Result
Receipt timeout
Connection timeout
The transfer of the datagrams can occur at two different times:
The Vision Sensor transfers the datagrams on request, i.e. as a response to the command "GD".
This mode is designated "Polling mode".
The Vision Sensor transfers data continuously after each image has been transferred.
This mode is designated "Continuous mode".
NOTE
The connection timeout will in principal (depending on the duration of the process) not be
reset, or not be reset at the correct time, for the following commands:
-
