EDS The Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file contains device
specific information of EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet
devices.
EtherNet/IP The EtherNet/IP network offers a full suite of control,
configuration, and data collection services by layering
the Common Industrial Protocol over the standard
protocols used by the Internet (TCP/IP and UDP).
EtherNet/IP uses TCP/IP for general
messaging/information exchange services and UDP/IP
for I/O messaging services for control applications. This
combination of well-accepted standards provides the
functionality required to support both information data
exchange as well as control applications.
Explicit Messaging Explicit Messaging provide a one-time transport of a
data item. They can be sent as connected or
unconnected. These messages are typically point-to-
point.
HW Abbreviation for Hardware.
I/O Abbreviation for Input and Output.
I/O Adapter An I/O Adapter receives implicit communications
requests from an I/O Scanner, then produces and
consumes its I/O data, typically at the requested cyclic
rate. An I/O adapter can be a simple digital input device,
or something more complex such as modular pneumatic
valve system.
I/O Connection CIP connection which provides dedicated, special
purpose communication paths between producing
application and one or more consuming applications for
data exchange.
I/O Messages/Packet I/O Message consists of a Connection ID and optional
associated I/O data. One I/O message means one
complete Input/ Output Assembly data.
