4. Configuration
153
An EtherNet/IP Adapter supports up to 64 modules of input or output. These modules can be of type
BYTE, WORD, DWORD or REAL. And the MainTask’s interval of a device running an Adapter
must be lesser or equal the RPI.
ATTENTION
EtherNet/IP can’t be used together with ethernet NIC-Teaming nor with Half-Cluster's redundancy.
ATTENTION
EtherNet/IP requires a cyclic MainTask, which means it can’t be used with any configuration that
sets the MainTask as freewheeling. As example, a Basic Profile project doesn’t support EtherNet/IP.
ATTENTION
To avoid communication issues, EtherNet/IP Scanner can only have Adapters configured within the
same subnetwork
EtherNet/IP Interface
To add an EtherNet/IP Scanner or Adapter it’s needed to add an EtherNet/IP Interface under the NET
interface. This can be done through the command “Add Device”. Under this EtherNet/IP Interface it's
possible to add a Scanner or an Adapter
