Socket Service Function Guide

Section 6-4

6-3-5 Differences with Previous Models

Compared with the socket service functions of previous models (CS1W- ETN01/11 and CJ1W-ETN11 Ethernet Units), the Number of Bytes Received at the TCP Socket that stores the size of received data accumulated in the reception buffer and a related Data Received Flag have been added. These new features eliminate the need for ladder programs to monitor the timing for completion of instructions and socket service processing, and thus reduce the amount of labor required for program development.

6-4 Socket Service Function Guide

6-4-1 Manipulating Dedicated Control Bits

Description

The Ethernet Unit's socket services are used by setting parameters and manipulating bits only.

Point

This method is used by setting the required parameters in the socket service parameter area allocated in the CPU Bus Unit words in the DM Area, and then turning ON the Socket Service Request Switches in memory.

Advantages/Disadvantages

A total of eight ports (UDP and TCP combined) can be used for socket ser- vices.

6-4-2 Executing CMND(490)

Description

The socket services are used by sending service request commands to the

Ethernet Unit.

Point

A UDP or TCP socket service is requested by sending a FINS command to the Ethernet Unit by executing CMND(490) from the CPU Unit.

Advantages/Disadvantages

Knowledge of FINS commands is required.

The previous user program can be used without changing because the functions are equivalent to those of CVM1/CV-series Ethernet Units.

A total of 16 sockets, comprising eight TCP ports and eight UDP ports, can be used.
