Code Reader Communications for
PROFINET Connections
You can use PROFINET IO data CR to communicate between the PLC and the code reader to per-
form control via command/response communications or to output data after measurements.
This code reader complies with PROFINET conformance class B.
To connect to external devices and communicate using PROFINET, configure the PROFINET IO data
CR settings with the engineering tool.
For details on the IO data CR settings in the engineering tool, refer to the manual for each engineering
tool.

Types of Communications Areas
For PROFINET communications, the following three communications areas are used in the PLC to
perform communications.
Command / Response
Communications
Data Output after Meas-
urements
The Input Area (Response Area) (2) and Input Area (Output Area) (3) are assigned to continuous
memory addresses or to a variable.

4 Controlling Operation and Data Output with PROFINET
(1) Output Area (Com-
mand Area)
(2) Input Area (Response
Area)
(3) Input Area (Output
Area)
This is the area to which you write control commands
for this code reader to execute.
This is the area to which this code reader writes the
results of control commands executed from the com-
mand area.
This is the area to which this code reader writes output
data for measurements after an inspection is per-
formed.
