Description
A station type of EtherNet/IP that corresponds to slave stations
A memory in an intelligent function module, where data (such as setting values and monitoring values) are stored.
When integrated into the CPU module, this memory refers to a memory for storing data such as setting values and
monitored values of the Ethernet function, and data used for data communication of the multiple CPU system function.
Another name for the Consumed tag
A generic term for the MELSEC iQ-R series CPU modules
A device (X, Y, M, D, or others) in a CPU module
Another name for the software package for the MELSEC programmable controllers
An abbreviation for EtherNet/IP Configuration Tool for RJ71EIP91.
A tool for setting the network configuration for EtherNet/IP.
A generic term for devices, personal computers, and other equipment connected via EtherNet/IP for data
communication
A label that is valid for all the program data when multiple program data are created in the project. There are two types
of global label: a module specific label (module label), which is generated automatically by GX Works3, and an optional
label, which can be created for any specified device.
A module that has functions other than input and output, such as an A/D converter module and D/A converter module
A label that represents a device in a given character string
A label that represents one of memory areas (I/O signals and buffer memory areas) specific to each module in a given
character string. For the module used, GX Works3 automatically generates this label, which can be used as a global
label.
An EtherNet/IP device that transmits a connection establishment request of EtherNet/IP
An abbreviation for Packet Per Second. The number of packets that can be processed per second.
Another name for the Produced tag
An abbreviation for Requested Packet Interval.
A communication cycle that is decided by the originator during communications between EtherNet/IP devices.
A station type of EtherNet/IP that corresponds to the master station
An EtherNet/IP device that receives a connection establishment request of EtherNet/IP
