Chapter 5 Communication Connections
CIP Client Messaging
CIP Generic and CIP Symbolic messages are supported on Micro800 controllers
through the Ethernet and serial ports. These client messaging features are enabled
by the MSG_CIPSYMBOLIC and MSG_CIPGENERIC function blocks.
See Micro800 Programmable Controllers: Getting Started with CIP Client
Messaging, publication 2080-QS002
, for more information and sample
quickstart projects to help you use the CIP Client Messaging feature.
ASCII
ASCII provides connection to other ASCII devices, such as bar code readers,
weigh scales, serial printers, and other intelligent devices. You can use ASCII by
configuring the embedded or any plug-in serial RS232/RS485 port for the
ASCII driver. Refer to the Connected Components Workbench Online Help for
more information.
To configure the serial port for ASCII, see Configure ASCII
on page 56.
CIP Communications
Pass-thru
The Micro830 and Micro850 controllers support pass-thru on any
communications port that supports Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) for
applications such as program download. It does not support applications that
require dedicated connections such as HMI. Micro830 and Micro850 support a
maximum of one hop. A hop is defined to be an intermediate connection or
communications link between two devices – in Micro800, this is through
EtherNet/IP or CIP Serial or CIP USB.
