Ethernet Interface - Panasonic PV500 User Manual

9.1.2 Ethernet Interface

Ethernet communication is performed with an external device. There are two types of protocol for
communication available, "General Purpose Communication" and PLC Communication" (on Ver.1.50 or later).
Outputting inspection result data, image data, and sending/receiving control commands can be performed. The
product of Ver.1.40 or later can communicate with the designated setting software PVWIN. By using "Image
Receiver for PV", image data can be also output.
Make the settings for Ethernet interface from the following items.

·
Note that incorrect setting of the connection to the existing LAN might cause malfunction in the
devices on the network. Consult your network administrator before connecting.
·
One PV500 cannot be operated by multiple PCs on the network.
·
Depending on the network condition, delay might be caused in the communication. It is advisable to
use I/O interface or RS-232C interface for the operation that requires speedy response such as
inspection trigger input.

Protocol
According to the network adapter of your PC, 1000BASE-T communication may not be available.
When you use Ethernet communication with 1000BASE-T, please check the maximum frame size (which is the
data size that can be sent or received in one communication) available in the network environment. In some
cases, the network adapter complying with 1000BASE-T also requires a setting change. For details including
how to set, please contact a manufacturer of network adapters.
About Baud Rate
PV500 automatically adjusts the baud rate according to the speed of the device to communicate. (Auto
negotiation)
You can know the current baud rate by the position and color of LED of Ethernet port that lights when
communicating.
