9.7.2.2 IO Connection
This section demonstrates how to use IO Connection to execute EtherNet/IP communication with the example PLC. Here
Delta PLC acts as an EtherNet/IP Scanner.
Set up an IO Connection from a Slave
1. Create two variables and set the rule of one variable as input and set the rule of the other variable as output. Set
the data type and length as Array[0..99] of word.
2. Go to Tools -> Export Global Variables -> Network Configurator on the menu bar.
3. Start Network Configurator and then add and edit the example PLC from the Ethernet Hardware List on the left.
Select Parameter -> Edit and click To/From File -> Export to File on lower right corner of the Tag Sets page.
4. After the file is imported, make sure the input and output variables are imported in In-Consume and Out-Produce
sections.
5. Click the variable in In-Consume section and select Edit.
6. Click Advanced button in the Edit Tag Set window and set the Instance ID to Manual and then input the Instance
ID you’d like to use for IDs in In-Consume section. Set Instance ID = 100.
7. Use the same method to set the Instance ID manually for IDs in In-Consume section as you have set for IDs in
Out-Produce section. Set Instance ID = 110.
8. When the settings for Instance ID are done, click OK to confirm the settings on Edit Device Parameter.
9. Click Network -> Download to download the parameters to the slave.
Set up an IO Connection from a Master
1. Start EIP Builder and drag and drop a General Device into the Network View area and set up network connection.
For ISPSoft V3.12 or later, you can edit EtherNet/IP communication parameters in HWCONFIG.
2. Click slave icon and set up its IP address and then configure the parameters in the EIP Parameter tab.
