3. Setting in GX Works3, iQ-R Ethernet communication

The following chapter describes how to setup the Ethernet communication.

All iQ-R (for example R04) has a built in ethernet port, Auto UDP 5005 is to be used.

Som iQ-R models are also available in a R0xEN model with 3 ethernet ports.
Port 2 and 3 are using the same Auto ports as older ethernet modules in the Q-series (QJ71E71-100, Auto UDP ports: 5000 and 5001, Auto TCP port: 5002).

Recommended is to use UDP ports.

To enable ports (not using Auto UDP/TCP port) a SLMP module needs to be used, enter port number and transport protocol.

Port number 6000 (decimal) is used in this example, same port must be entered in iX Developer.

5. Setting in X2/BoX2 Ethernet communication MC protocol
