SMC–4000 User Manual
Where HandleNum is the handle number from 1 (A) to 8 (H). Module is the position of the module in the
rack from 1 to 16. BitNum is the I/O point in the module from 1 to 4.
If an explicit slave address is to be used, the equation becomes:
I/O Number=(SlaveAddress*1000)+(HandleNum*1000)+((Module-1)*4)+(Bitnum-1)
Using Third Party Software
Yaskawa supports ARP, BOOT-P, and PING, which are Ethernet utilities. ARP is an application that
determines the MAC address of a device at a specific IP address. BOOT-P is an application that
determines which devices on the network do not have an IP address and assigns the IP address you have
chosen to it. PING is used to check the communication between the device at a specific IP address and
the host computer.
The SMC–4000 can communicate with a host computer through any application that can send TCP/IP or
UDP/IP packets. A good example of this is Telnet, a utility that comes with most Windows systems.
NOTE: A command sent over an Ethernet Telnet session must reside in one packet. This means that a
Telnet emulator must not send a command such as MG_TPX<CR> until the carriage return is
present; i.e., do not send one character at a time as the user enters them.
