16.5 Software
AHRTU-ETHN-5A, an AH series EtherNet/IP remote I/O module, can connect AHCPU5x1 series
CPU and be connected to the EIP Scanner from other vendors as well. While working as the remote
I/O module of AHCPU5x1 series CPU, AHRTU-ETHN-5A should be set by opening EIP Builder
software via ISPSoft. When being connected to other-brand Scanner, AHRTU-ETHN-5A should be
set by opening EIP Builder software alone and then other-brand software is used for connection with
AHRTU-ETHN-5A as the EIP slave.

16.5.1 ISPSoft
ISPSoft provides the functions of programming for Delta products, configuration of hardware
parameters and network planning. If AHRTU-ETHN-5A is used with Delta EtherNet/IP master
together, open ISPSoft first to set the hardware parameters of the EtherNet/IP master and then open
EIP Builder to add AHRTU-ETHN-5A to the EtherNet/IP master network and edit the I/O modules
connected to AHRTU-ETHN-5A.

16.5.2 EIP Builder
EIP Builder provides the functions of planning the network for Delta EtherNet/IP products and
setting the parameters of EtherNet/IP slaves. After building AHRTU-ETHN-5A module in the
NetworkView window, create network connection lines by dragging. Double click the module icon to
open the RTU HWCONFIG page. After EIP Builder is opened, you need check if the communication
interface is the same as that for actual wiring on the setting page since EIP Builder mainly displays
communication setting on ISPSoft after EIP Builder is opened every time.
