AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA
APPENDIX A
ETHERNET IP INTRODUCTION
The AV500/900 camera supports the EtherNet/IPâ„¢ Industrial Networking protocol
which we will refer to as EIP. EIP simplifies the communication of barcode and Input/
Output data with other EIP enabled devices, such as a programmable logic controller
(PLC).
Software release 1.4.0.0 and higher for the
AV500/900 product line supports the legacy
ASI EtherNet/IPâ„¢ Object. This mode allows the installation of AV500/900 cameras in
systems using PLC programs developed for Axiom, Axiom X, and AL5010 scanners and
can also be useful if ControlLogix On-Demand Messaging is desired for an application.
The ASI Object supports all configuration options a
vailable on the Axiom, Axiom X, and
AL5010 with the exception of the 8 Reader Outputs.
