IV Series
Getting Started
The IV Series is an all-in-one Vision Sensor featuring a camera, a light, and a controller. This sensor
can be attached easily so complicated detection operations such as detecting the shapes of parts with a
photoelectric switch can be achieved easily.
Operation conditions settings require the IV Software, IV-Navigator (IV-H1) or
the intelligent monitor (IVM30). After setting is completed, the sensor can be operated independently.
The IV Series operates as an EtherNet/IP communication adaptor or a PROFINET communication I/O device.
With EtherNet/IP communication or PROFINET communication, the control output signal and status result,
etc., can be input to the PLC as communication data.

Overview of EtherNet/IP
What is EtherNet/IP?

EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP is an open industrial networking standard developed and maintained by the ODVA (Open
DeviceNet Vendor Association, Inc.). All supported devices can use the communication network regardless
of the vendor.
Ethernet and an industrial protocol have been combined and standardized as EtherNet/IP (Industrial Protocol).
Communication is achieved by combining a protocol called CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) and the TCP/
IP and Ethernet. This allows the network to be shared and used with standard Ethernet.
To start the Ethernet/IP communication, one device needs to open a communication line called a "connection"
for the other device. The device that will open a connection is referred to as the "scanner", and the device
whose connection will be opened is referred to as the "adapter" (IV series is an adapter device).
The EtherNet/IP communication offers the following two types of communications: Cyclic communication
for sending and receiving data periodically (Implicit communication), and message communication for
sending and receiving commands/responses at arbitrary timings.
In the cyclic communication, you can set the RPI (Request Packet Interval: communication cycle) based
on the priority of the data to be sent/received, enabling sending/receiving of data with adjusted overall
communication load. Various data including the control output, status result import, trigger control and
switching to the set program No. can be communicated without a ladder program.
In the message communication, you can send/receive the required commands and responses at the required
timings. The message communication is used for applications requiring no punctuality unlike the cyclic
communication, such as for reading and writing the adapter device settings.
The IV series supports cyclic communication (Implicit communication).

What is cyclic communication?
This function enables cyclic (i.e. in fixed intervals) data communications with the EtherNet/IP devices.
This function provides high-speed control with several to several tens of milliseconds.
The communication can be controlled by referencing and updating the variables in the PLC, making it easy
to control the programs on the PLC side.

PLC settings
You can set the following settings for the PLC:
(1) Set the connection to be used for the cyclic communication.
(2) Set the device to be used for the cyclic communication.
For details of the setting, refer to the instruction manual of each PLC.
Establishing the connection

In the cyclic communication, one device opens a logical communication circuit called a connection for the
other device; and data communication will become possible if the open is successful.
The device that will open a connection is referred to as the scanner, and the device whose connection
will be opened is referred to as the adapter.
(IV series is an adapter device)
In the EtherNet/IP communication, a connection must be opened from the scanner when the cyclic
communication is started.
The communication is started in the following procedure:
(1) The scanner requests a connection open request to the adapter.
(2) Compatibility will be checked on the adapter side.
(3) A connection will open if no error is encountered in the compatibility check.
(1) Connection open request
(2) Compatibility check
(3) Connection open

Adapter device
yyA compatibility check is used to check whether the device set by the scanner and the IV series are in
match with one another, in order to prevent the scanner from communicating with a wrong device when
it communicates with the IV series.
yyCommunication settings for the cyclic communication, such as the communication cycle (RPI) and the
data size, will be configured on the scanner side.

yyThe trigger timings of each connection are controlled by the cyclic communications; and both the pointto-point and Multicast connection types are supported.
yyIf you wish to open Exclusive Owner and Input Only connections simultaneously, set the connection
type to Multicast and match the RPI and the size.
yyThe details of each application type are as described below.
[Exclusive Owner]
yyThis connection allows you to configure the data transmission from the scanner to the IV series, and
vice versa.
yyThis connection type is used when the scanner will not only monitor the data of the IV series but also
provide external input to the IV series.
yyIt is not possible for multiple scanners to open "Exclusive Owner" connections for a single IV series
unit.
[Input Only]
yyThis connection only allows you to configure the data transmission from the IV series to the scanner.
yyThis connection is used when the scanner will only monitor the data of the IV series.
yyMultiple scanners can simultaneously open Input Only connections for a single IV series unit.
yyIf connections will be opened simultaneously from multiple scanners, set the connection type to
Multicast and match the RPI and the size.

Overview of PROFINET
Overview of PROFINET
What is PROFINET?
PROFINET is an open industrial networking standard developed and maintained by the PI (PROFINET
International).
All supported devices can use the communication network regardless of the vendor.
PROFINET allows easy integration with the currently used field bus (such as PROFIBUS), enabling you to
protect the existing assets without modifying the legacy system.
4
PROFINET
The following two types of communication standards exist for the PROFINET communication: PROFINET
CBA communication for data communications between processes and between I/O controllers, and
PROFINET I/O communication for data communications between the I/O controller and I/O device.
The PROFINET communication for the IV series supports the PROFINET I/O communication and complies
with Conformance Class A.
The PROFINET I/O communication offers the following two types of communication methods for cyclic
data: Real-time communication (RT) and isochronous real-time communication (IRT).
Real-time communication provides similar communication performance as the existing field bus, such as
the device control in normal factory automation, using Ethernet. The isochronous real-time communication
is capable of meeting stringent real-time requirements, including synchronized motion control.
The real-time communications offer the following two types of communications: Data I/O communication
for sending and receiving data periodically, and record data communication for sending and receiving
commands/responses at arbitrary timings. In the data I/O communication, you can set the SendCycle
(Communication cycle) based on the priority of the data to be sent/received, enabling sending/receiving of
data with adjusted overall communication load. The record data communication is used for communication
applications that require little punctuality (unlike the data I/O communication).
The IV series supports the data I/O communication provided by the real-time communications (RT).

Specifying the IP address using the DCP protocol

In the PROFINET communication, you can specify the IP address of I/O devices using the DCP protocol
(Discovery and Configuration Protocol).
PROFINET
The DCP protocol offers two methods for setting the IP address.
(1) The IP address can be set by the I/O controller based on the device name information of the I/O
device.
(2) The IP address and device name of the I/O device can be set by the I/O supervisor (PC, etc.).

name in the config of the I/O controller.
yyIf the IP address will be set by the DCP protocol, the IP address of the sensor will be initialized.
yyThe IP address set by the DCP protocol will be stored in the volatile memory. When you restart the
sensor, the sensor will start up with its IP address in ---- (unregistered) status.

What is data I/O communication?
This function enables cyclic (i.e. in fixed intervals) data communications with the PROFINET devices. This
function provides high-speed control with several to several tens of milliseconds.
The communication can be controlled by referencing and updating the variables in the PLC, making it easy
to control the programs on the PLC side.

5
To start a data I/O communication, you need to create a communication path called AR (Application
Relation) and establish a real-time communication between the I/O controller and the I/O device . When
you create the AR, separate communication channels for data I/O and record data communications will be
set up. These communication channels are called CR (Communication Relation).
The communication is started in the following procedure:
(1) The I/O controller requests an AR connection to the I/O device.
(2) A response is returned from the I/O device, establishing a real-time communication.
(3) A connection will open if no error is encountered in the compatibility check.
