KV-X Series × LJ-S8000 Series
EtherNet/IP™ Connection Guide

Prepare the following equipment.

• *
  Instead of the CPU unit, connection to communication units such as KV-XLE02 is also possible.
• *
  Prepare a 24 VDC power supply and a monitor as well.

1. Start up the KV STUDIO and create a new project. Set the model option to “KV-X520” and click [OK].
A [Confirm unit configuration setting] dialogue box is displayed. Click [Yes (Y)].

2. The unit editor is displayed. On the “Setup unit(2)” tab, click the icon of EtherNet/IP setting. A configuration type selection dialogue box is displayed. Click [Manual (M)].

3. On the “Unit setting (2)” tab, set the IP address for KV-X Series. In this example, configure the setting as shown below.

* Step 4 needs to be performed to import a sensor setting file. When the sensor setting file has already been imported, proceed to Step 5.

4. Select [EDS file (D)] → [Reg (I)] to import the KEYENCE sensor setting file(ez1 file) or EDS file.

* Download the sensor setting file from the KEYENCE website.

5. With the KV-X Series and the EtherNet/IP devices connected using the Ethernet cable, select [File (F)] → [Auto configuration (S)] on the [EtherNet/IP settings] window.

6. When the configuration on the unit editor differs from that of the actual device, a dialogue for confirming transfer of the project is displayed. With the PC and KV-X Series connected using the USB cable, click [Yes (Y)].

7. When transfer of the project is completed, the [Search unit settings] dialogue is displayed. Then click [Search (F)]. After the auto configuration is completed, "Vendor Series" is automatically registered. Then click [OK] to close the [EtherNet/IP settings] window.

8. Click [OK] on the unit editor to exit.

Transferring and Monitoring Setting Data

1. From the menu, select [Monitor/Simulator (N)] > [Transfer to PLC (W) → Monitor mode (C)].
　In the [Send comm. cmd. to PLC] dialogue box, click [Execute(E)].

2. If the following dialogue box is displayed before and after transferring the data, click [Yes] both times.

3. Right-click on “Vender Series” in the workspace, and select [Sensor IO monitor (M)].
　Scores and other information can be easily monitored.

When Manipulating Parameters with a Program
Changing the Setting Values

The setting values of the sensors can be changed by the following two methods:
A : Change from a PC
B : Change from a ladder program

1. Expand the unit configuration in the workspace. Right-click on "Vender Series" and select [Transmission adapter settings (A)].

2. Place a check mark in Setting Value for "Vender Series" and enter the setting value.
　Click [Write adapter (W)] to write the setting value to the sensor.

*To read the setting value of a sensor, select [Read adapter (R)].

B : Changed from a ladder program

Use message communication to change the setting values from a ladder program.

To perform message communication with KV STUDIO, use the sensor setting commands (SPWR [sensor parameter write] and SPRD [sensor parameter read]).

1. In Editor mode, create a ladder program as shown below.

* For the parameter numbers, refer to Parameter list.

Confirmation of Connection Status

When the cyclic communication status is “Connected,” cyclic communication is being established between the LJ-S Series and KV-X Series.

Confirmation of communication contents

Click “View List” to confirm the sent/received data values of this system (LJ-S8000 Series).

Click “View List” of the sent data of this system (LJ-S8000 Series).
The current output status of the LJ-S8000 Series can be checked. Putting a check mark next to “Manual Output” rewrites values optionally. You can confirm the communication status by checking if the rewritten values are correctly recognised on the sensor I/O monitor on the PLC side.

• *
  “Manual Output” is available in Setup Mode.

Assignment status of cyclic communication data

The following is the assignment status of cyclic communication data, which is the same as the contents that can be confirmed in “View List” of the received/sent data of this system (LJ-S8000 Series).

Output from LJ-S8000 Series to KV-X Series
[Note]
W**** shown in the table are examples of link relay and link register assignment to addresses when only one LJ-S8000 Series is connected to the KV-X Series CPU unit as EtherNet/IP equipment. If the initial value is set, LJ-S8000 is assigned in ascending order starting from W0.

Input from KV-X Series to LJ-S8000 Series
[Note]
W**** shown in the table are examples of link register assignment to addresses when only one LJ-S8000 Series is connected to the KV-X Series CPU unit as EtherNet/IP equipment.

Trigger input method

Turn ON TRG.

How to confirm result update

Turning ON trigger input starts capture and measurement. After the measurement results are determined, all data is updated.
If a check mark is put next to “Enable Handshake,” refer to the measurement result data after the Result ready flag is turned ON. After that, turn OFF the Result ack flag. The controller updates the next data after confirming that the Result ack flag is OFF. In “Output Settings,” specify what items of the measured values should be output.

• *
  Data is output only during Run Mode. (Data is not output in Setup Mode.)

For a detailed flow, refer to the following.

Timing chart

Reference

Result OR is updated depending on the result output that uses EtherNet/IP as the output destination. If Result OR is used,it is necessary to configure output settings so that at least a piece of data is output to EtherNet/ IP.

<Settings of [Enable Handshake]>
Select Global Settings > Communications & I/O > EtherNet/IP to configure the settings. (No check mark by default)

<Decimal Point>
Select the data expression method used in result data output or commands handling decimals.

• Fixed-point (Default value)
  Data 1000 times as large as the original data is handled as 32-bit signed integer data. Example: 1.234 mm is output as 1234.
• Floating-point: Handled as 32-bit single-precision floating point data.

Select Global Settings > Communications & I/O > EtherNet/IP to configure the settings.

Example: 1.234 mm is output as 1234.
When measurement count: 2, 1st measured value: 12.022, 2nd measured value :2.354, 3rd measured value:1.625

Command control

Store the command value (command No. and command parameter) that you want to use for the command input region. After the completion of command value storing, turn ON Command request. After the completion of command execution, Command complete is turned ON.

For a detailed flow, refer to the following.
