7 Packet Structures
7.1 Ensuring Safe and Successful Control
Data written to the EtherNet/IP Module remains in its
register until the data is overwritten or the module is
reinitialized. The EtherNet/IP Module does not transfer
successive duplicate commands to the soft starter.
•
If the soft starter is started via
eldbus communi-
cation but stopped via the LCP or a remote input,
an identical start command cannot be used to
restart the soft starter.
•
If the soft starter is controlled via the LCP or the
remote inputs (and via eldbus communications),
a control command should be immediately
followed by a status query to conrm that the
command has been actioned.

7.2 Cyclic Operation
This section lists requirements related to cyclic services for
the EtherNet/IP Module. The EtherNet/IP Module uses both
implicit (I/O) and explicit messaging, with a cyclic trigger
(minimum cyclic interval = 1 ms).
7.2.1 Assembly Objects
The EtherNet/IP Module supports the assembly objects
listed in Table 7.1.
Assembly instances Description Maximum size Type
104
Originator⇒target
2 (4) bytes Integer
154
Target⇒originator
6 (12) bytes Integer

7.2.2 Control Commands
7.2.2.1 Receiving Control Data from the
Controller
The EtherNet/IP Module uses output assembly instance
104d in assembly class 0x04 to receive control data from
the controller. This instance is the only valid assembly
instance.

7.2.2.2 Control Word (Write-only)
Use the structure in Table 7.3 to send a control command
to the soft starter.
