5.1 EtherNet/IP Implicit Messaging
EthetNet/IP implicit messaging, a cyclic data exchange, assigns read/write data address settings
using map register of EtherNet/IP host controller (scanner) on option card, and reads/writes
address data value with fixed length at one time using map register.
The scanner identifies the device and establishes connections using EDS files of EtherNet/IP
devices. Generally speaking, the EDS file of the device is built-in in the vendor’s master
operating software. For example, you do not need to import the EDS file of the option card when
using Delta EIP Builder. But if you are not using a Delta master, you have to download the EDS
file from Delta’ website or contact your device supplier.
EtherNet/IP implicit messaging supports user-defined address communication. You can add data
into cyclic data exchange table by yourself. But not all device suppliers support this function. To
ensure that you can work on this function normally, choose Delta’s PLC as your first choice.
