Overview of IV2 Series
1 IV2 Series
Getting Started
The IV2 Series is a “Vision Sensor”. This sensor can be installed easily, so detections of the shapes of parts
and other such detections that were difficult to perform with a photoelectric switch can be achieved easily.
To set the operating conditions, use IV2-Navigator (IV2-H1), software for the IV2, or the control panel (IV2-
CP50). After setting is completed, the sensor can be operated independently.
The IV2 Series operates as an EtherNet/IP communication adapter, a PROFINET communication I/O device,
or a TCP/IP communication server.
With EtherNet/IP communication, PROFINET communication, or TCP/IP no procedure communication, the
control output signal, status result, etc. can be output to the PLC, PC, etc. as communication data.

Overview of EtherNet/IP
Overview of EtherNet/IP
What is EtherNet/IP?
EtherNet/IP is an open industrial networking standard developed and maintained by the ODVA (Open
2 DeviceNet Vendor Association, Inc.). All supported devices can use the communication network regardless
of the vendor.
EtherNet/IP
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 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”
with 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” (IV2 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 a timing defined by the user.
In 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
program switch requests can be communicated without a ladder program.
In message communication, you can send/receive the required commands and responses at the required
timings. Message communication is used for applications requiring no specific timing, unlike cyclic
communication, such as for reading and writing the adapter device settings.
The IV2 Series supports cyclic communication (Implicit communication).

Overview of the cyclic communication
What is cyclic communication?

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

(2) Set the device to be used for cyclic communication.
3 For details of the setting, refer to the instruction manual of each PLC.
If you are using the KEYENCE KV series, (1) and (2) can be set automatically simply by making a
selection in KV STUDIO.
Establishing the connection

In cyclic communication, one device opens a logical communication circuit called a “connection” with the
other device; data communication will become possible if the opening 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”.
(IV2 Series is an adapter device)
In EtherNet/IP communication, a connection must be opened from the scanner when cyclic communication
is started.
Communication is started using the following procedure:

(1) The scanner sends 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
Scanner Adapter device
yyA compatibility check is used to check whether the device set by the scanner and the IV2 Series are in
match with one another, in order to prevent the scanner from communicating with a wrong device when
it attempts communication with the IV2 Series.
yyCommunication settings for cyclic communication, such as the communication cycle (RPI) and the data
size, will be configured on the scanner side.
In a network with many connected devices (including the EtherNet/IP devices), a network delay and/
or packet loss may occur when there is a heavy load on the network. Conduct a thorough verification
before the operation.

There are many types of connections, and the connections available for each device are defined in the
EDS file. The EDS file can be downloaded from the KEYENCE web site. The EDS file is also included in
the folder in which the PC software for IV2 Series IV2-Navigator (IV2-H1) has been installed.
For the EDS file when using the KEYENCE KV Series, download the [IV2 Series] KV STUDIO
communication unit setup file (the ez1 file) and register it in KV STUDIO. 3
The following shows the list of connections that are available in the IV2 Series.

When using the KEYENCE KV series (EtherNet/IP communication scanner), the names of the connections
with the IV2 Series will be “Monitor/External Input” and “Monitor Data”. The relationship of each connection
name is as described below.
1 : Monitor Data And External Input → Monitor/External input
2 : Monitor Data (Input Only) → Monitor data
yyThe trigger timings of each connection are controlled by the cyclic communications; and both the point-
to-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 IV2 Series, and
vice versa.
yyThis connection type is used when the scanner will not only monitor the data of the IV2 Series but
also provide external input to the IV2 Series.
yyIt is not possible for multiple scanners to open "Exclusive Owner" connections for a single IV2 Series
unit.
[Input Only]
yyThis connection only allows you to configure the data transmission from the IV2 Series to the scanner.
yyThis connection is used when the scanner will only monitor the data of the IV2 Series.
yyMultiple scanners can simultaneously open “Input Only” connections for a single IV2 Series unit.
yyIf connections will be opened simultaneously from multiple scanners, set the connection type to
“Multicast” and match the RPI and the size.

Operating procedure of the cyclic communication
This section explains the method for communicating from the PLC to the IV2 Series using cyclic
communication.
It also introduces reference programs. When making use of the reference programs, give thought to items
such as error processing during programming.
Reading out the status result (handshake control: [Disable], image buffer: [Disable]) 3
Select [Interlocked With Busy Output] for [Trigger Reception Timing]. The image buffer function is disabled.
For details on the setting method, refer to the “IV2 Series User’s Manual (Control Panel/PC Software)”.
The operation procedure when the data handshake control is set to [Disable] is shown below.

yy[Result update complete] will switch (toggle) to “1” if its value was “0” after the previous judgment
update or switch to “0” if its value was “1”.
yy[Result available] will switch from 0 to 1 at the timing when the first judgment process has been
confirmed; and the new value will be retained thereafter.
yy[Result available] will be reset in the following conditions:
yyIf handshake control is set to [Disabled]
- When the program is switched
- When the unit’s status is switched from “Setting” to “RUN”
- When a buffer clear request is issued
yyIf handshake control is set to [Enabled]
yy[Result No.] will be counted up each time the status result is updated. The upper limit value is 32767. If
the maximum value is exceeded, it will go back to 0 and start counting up again.
yy[Result No.] will also count the judgment process counts that were skipped due to the cyclic frequency
setting.
yy[Busy] and [Imaging] may be skipped in some cyclic frequency settings. It is therefore necessary to take
the imaging condition into consideration when setting the cyclic frequency.

(4) If you wish to output trigger errors, set the trigger error option to [Enabled].
If a trigger has been input while the trigger error option is set to [Enabled] and the unit is in “BUSY”
status, [Trigger failed] will change from 0 to 1 ignoring the trigger input. No judgment process will be
performed for trigger B.
(5) If the trigger input is unsuccessful, [Warning] will switch from “0” to “1” and [Warning No.] will be
updated to “65”. For details, refer to “Warning code list” (Page 3-29).

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 existing assets without modifying the legacy system.
4 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
PROFINET I/O communication for data communications between the I/O controller and I/O device.
The PROFINET communication for the IV2 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.
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 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. Record data communication is used for communication
applications that require little punctuality (unlike the data I/O communication).
The IV2 Series supports the data I/O communication provided by the real-time communications (RT).

Specifying the IP address using the DCP protocol

In PROFINET communication, you can specify the IP address of I/O devices using the DCP protocol
(Discovery and Configuration Protocol). 4
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.).

yyIf the IP address of the I/O device will be set by the I/O controller, the I/O device name must match the
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 PROFINET devices. This
function provides high-speed control in 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) Establish a real-time communication for setting up the data I/O communication.
(2) Set the I/O device to be used for the data I/O communication.
For details of the setting process, refer to the instruction manual of each PLC.
Establishing the data I/O communication

To start 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 5
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.

Overview of TCP/IP No Procedure Communication
TCP/IP no procedure communication is a function that transmits and receives data between Ethernet
devices using the TCP/IP protocol. This makes it possible to communicate not only with PCs or PLCs but
also with various devices that support Ethernet.
External devices such as PCs and PLCs use socket communication function to perform TCP/IP no
procedure communication with the IV2 Series.
Establishing the connection

When communicating with TCP/IP, a connection must be established between the devices. A connection is
established when the device on the server side performs passive open processing and is in a standby state
and the device on the client side makes an open request (active open processing) to the server and is
accepted. When a connection is established, a transmission path is created between the devices, making
it possible to send and receive control information and data.

Client Server
Connection open request
Connection open
Port number: 8500 (default value)
Overview of commands and responses

A request (command) is transmitted from a PLC, PC, or other such external device to the IV2 Series, and
then the IV2 Series sends a response. The code format for both commands and responses is ASCII.
Command
Response


Command format
a a , b b ・・・ , c c d
aa Use the first 2 or 3 characters to specify the type of command on the basis of the control details.
bb、cc Specify the parameters according to the command type. The number of parameters and the
number of characters vary depending on the command.
Use a comma (0x2C) to separate the parameters.
d Specify [CR(0x0D)] as the delimiter.
Command example
D R , 0 3 , 1 CR
0x44 0x52 0x2C 0x30 0x33 0x2C 0x31 0x0D

Response format
The response when the command was processed successfully.
a a , b b ・・・ , c c d
aa The same command as the one received is returned.

bb、cc Parameters are appended according to the command type and returned. The number of
parameters and the number of characters vary depending on the response.
A comma (0x2C) is used as the parameter delimiter.
d [CR(0x0D)] is appended as the delimiter.
Response example
P R , 0 6 4 CR
0x50 0x52 0x2C 0x30 0x36 0x34 0x0D

Error response format
The response when the command was not processed successfully.
E R , a a , b b CR
The first 2 characters of the response are set to [ER].

aa The same command as the one received is returned in 18 characters or less.
bb An error number corresponding to the error details is returned. Fixed to 2 characters.
02: No corresponding command exists.
03: The command cannot be executed under these settings or conditions.
22: The number of parameters or the range is incorrect.
When creating a control program, confirm that this unit has received the response before transmitting the
next command to this unit.


Automatic status result transmission
Judgment processing can be performed during internal triggers or input signals (external triggers) from an
external device such as a PLC or photoelectric switch, and status results can be transmitted automatically.
This eliminates the need to transmit the status result read command.
Use the OE command (Page 6-17) in advance to enable the automatic transmission function.
External trigger
Status result or internal trigger

If the next status result is confirmed while the initial status result is being transmitted, the new data will be
discarded. (The status result will not be transmitted.)
