Overview
ECOM Ethernet driver implements communication with Automation Direct (PLC Direct/Koyo) device. It operates as a Master on the TCP/IP network. The communications blocks are dynamically created according the pooling cycle defined on the AccessType for each Device Point.

| Some devices work with word data using byte swap, so for those devices the option byte swap in Modifiers column in the Point table must be set. |
Channels Configuration
Protocol Options
BlockSize: Defines the maximum amount of items per group, the default value is 255.
Settings
TCP/IP :
- NodeConnections: Defines the maximum number of parallel requests that will be sent to each node (asynchronous communication)
Node Configuration
Primary Station
SlaveId: Set this field with the address of the slave device in the Network (PLC ID).
TCP/IP :
- Station syntax: <IP address> ; <Port number> ; <SlaveId>
Where :
- <IP address> = IP address of the slave device in the network
- <Port number> = TCP port where the slave device is listening (default is 28784)
- <SlaveId> = PLC ID in the Network (default is 1)
E.g.: 192.168.1.101 ; 28784; 1
Points Configuration
The syntax for the ECOM communication points is: <Operand Type><Octal Address>
Where: <Operand Type> indicates the memory area :
- C Control Relays
- CT Control Status
- SP Special Relays
- S Stages
- T Timer Status
- Y Output Points
- X Input Points
- V Memory
For more information about the valid operands, refer to the Supported Operands aforementioned:
- <Octal Address> indicates the data address in the memory area (octal format, 0 - 7)
E.g.: V0 (Operand = Memory, Address = 0)
