Communication Configuration and Example Program Use

Mech-Center Standard Interface EtherNet IP

Mech-Center supports ETHERNET IP communication, as an adapter (the slave device), provides standard interface option ETHERNET IP, and performs data communication with the ETHERNET IP scanner (master device controller) through the EDS device description file.

In the deployment settings of Mech-Center, the settings of the ETHERNET IP standard interface are as shown below.
