Information network In information network, computers are usually used to send and collect information. Typically, a large amount of information is transmitted by taking relatively a long time ranging from several minutes to several hours. Information network is used to send production instructions to a production site and to receive production status reports from a production site. Network example: Ethernet Control network In control network, programmable contollers are usually used to send and collect information at bit ‘and word format, Typically. synchronization between information and an assembly line operation is required, therefore: relatively a small amount of information is sent in a reliable manner in an interval of milliseconds. Control network Is used to transmit on/off statuses of sensors and actuators, warkpiece position information, and the rotation speed of motors, etc. Network examples: CC-Link IE Controller Network, CC-Link IE Field Network, CC-Link Networkoe coo WW PLC_Ethemet_ENG Ethernet in the FA Environment Ethernet is one of the Information network standards, With the increasing need for information links betwen factories and offices in recont years, Ethernet is. gaining popularity as a network standard for sending instructions to the factory floor, and for receiving production status reports. ‘system ‘eministator Information network a Cobects the Information from ‘he factoryEthernet Basics ‘This section explains the TCP/IP, which are the protocols widely deployed by Ethemet, For devices to communicato, both the communication source and destination do. As shown in tho animation bolow, those are similar to the sender's addros an envelope. IP address IP communication is the foundation of TCP/IP communication. In IP communication, each communication device is identified by its IP address (Intemet Protocol address). Normally, these addresses are expressed in decimal and are divided into four 8-bit sections by dots (2.9.. "192. 168.1.1") te ee Example of postal An IP address is not an arbitrary address. When connecting @ device to an existing network, please consult the network administrator to assign an IP address.Port number ‘The actual communication occurs between the applications running on the devices and computers. In IP communication, the communicating applications are identified by their port numbers. In the earlier postal sarvico examplo, is tho “stroot address", and a port number is tho “floor number, ‘The port number ranges from 0 to 65535 (0 to FFFF). Of this, 0 to 1023 (0 to 3FF) are called "Well Known Port Numbers" and unique to each application program. (For example, the email recipient port number is 25, the homepage reference port number is 60, and the fle transfer port numbers are 20 and 21, otc.) For the communication between programmable controllers that are not associated with application programs, the port numbers 1025 to 65534 (401 to FFFE) are used. * Port numbers are expressed in decimal in this section. The values shown in parentheses are in hexadecimal,eee ES Se =. = € EE Communication methods ) Geo ‘There are two main Internet protocol types: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
