Page 30: Precautions Concerning Installation
3.1 Precautions Concerning Installation Noise resistance The Ethernet is a network used in offices and buildings, where there is comparatively little noise. It does not have a higher resistance to noise than ordinary FA application networks. Consequently, caution is required when installing the transceiver and hub, and when laying cables. Guidelines to noise generation If any of the following are occurring, there is a danger that external noise is affecting the communication circuit.
Page 31 If it is impossible to avoid installing the equipment or cables near noise-generating equipment, the following measures should be taken. Place the programmable controller, transceiver, and hub inside metal panels. Place communication cables inside metal ducts. Attach a ferrite core near the ET-LAN unit of the communication cable. If using an external power supply terminal (12 V DC) for the ET-LAN unit, attach a ferrite core to the power supply cable.

Page 230: Mewtocol-Com (Computer Link)
14.1 MEWTOCOL-COM (Computer Link) 14.1.1 Overview of MEWTOCOL-COM Command and response functions The computer sends commands (instructions) to the programmable controller, and receives responses in return. This enables the computer and programmable controller to converse with each other, so that various kinds of information can be obtained and provided.
Page 231 Note: With MEWTOCOL communication through an ET-LAN unit, a format is used in which the special header shown below is added to MEWTOCOL-COM commands and responses. Special header for ET- MEWTOCOL LAN unit command/response The content of the special header changes depending on the communication conditions. Control codes Name Character...
Page 232 BCC (Block Check Code) The BCC is a code that carries out an error check using horizontal parity, to improve the reliability of the data being sent. The BCC uses an exclusive OR from the header (%) to the final character of the text, and converts the 8-bit data into a 2-character ASCII code.
Page 233 How data is notated in commands and responses Data used in commands and responses can be notated in the three ways described below. Hexadecimal data and 16 to indicate hexadecimal data. (Example) Register contents in a data area read (RD) response Decimal data and x10 to indicate decimal data.
Page 234: Single Frames And Multiple Frames
14.1.2 Single Frames and Multiple Frames Single-frame commands and responses Maximum message length The maximum message length for a single frame of a command or response (the number of characters from the header to the terminator) is as indicated below. If the maximum message length is exceeded, the message should be split into multiple sections and sent (responses should be split into several frames and sent).
Page 235 Sample communication timing chart (1) Single-frame command and single-frame response (2) Multiple-frame command and single-frame response (3) Single-frame command and multiple-frame response (4) When multiple-frame command is aborted before being completed Note: When a transmission is split into several frames and sent, after one frame has been sent, the next frame cannot be sent until a transmission request message (*1 in the sample communication timing chart) has been received from the partner side.

Page 290: Minimum Transmission Delay Time
15.5 Minimum Transmission Delay Time The minimum transmission processing time for MEWTOCOL communication and transparent communication is determined using the formulas below. This calculation serves as a general guide for the transmission time, assuming that there is one connection being used, no other nodes exist on the network, and 1:1 communication is being carried out.
Page 291 Transparent communication The following is a guide to the transmission time when the ET-LAN unit is sending or receiving data. When using TCP/IP: Transmission processing time = 0.017 x no. of transmission data bytes + 8 (ms) Receive processing time = 0.005 x no. of receive data bytes + 8 (ms) When using UDP/IP: Transmission processing time = 0.017 x no.
