5. CONFIGURATION
Their runtime system can act as either Scanner or Adapter. Each CPU’s NET interface support only one EtherNet/IP
instance and it can’t be instanced on an Ethernet expansion module.
An EtherNet/IP Adapter instance supports up to 64 input or output modules, limited to 505 bytes in and 509 bytes out.
These modules can be BYTE, WORD, SINT, INT, DINT, DWORD or REAL. The MainTask range of a device running as an
Adapter must be less than or equal to the RPI.
ATTENTION
EtherNet/IP can’t be used together with Ethernet NIC-Teaming nor with Half-Cluster’s re-
dundancy.
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.
5.5.13.1. EtherNet/IP
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.
