1.1 About this document
This manual contains information required to install, configure, and use the EtherNet/ IP
Module. The EtherNet/IP Module enables integration of industrial devices into the
Ethernet network with no loss of functionality, control, or reliability. The EtherNet/IP
Module can be used for new or retrofit installations.
The Micro Motion EtherNet/IP Module is a customization of the Anybus Communicator
from HMS Industrial Networks. OEM features not documented here are documented in
the Anybus Communicator User Manual available on the HMS web site.
The information in this document assumes that users understand:
• Basic transmitter and sensor installation, configuration, and maintenance concepts
and procedures
• All corporate, local government, and national government safety standards and
requirements that guard against injuries and death

1.3 Functional overview
The EtherNet/IP Module acts as a gateway between the serial output of a Micro Motion
device and an EtherNet/IP network. Using a web browser, the module supports:
• Process monitoring and control
• Configuration
• Administration
The EtherNet/IP Module consists of a Modbus master and an Ethernet slave.
• On the Modbus side, the module polls the transmitter for a standard set of process
variables and stores the data locally.
• On the Ethernet side, the module receives requests for data and responds with the
current values.
• The web browser is used for transmitter configuration and administration, via a
connection to the Micro Motion web pages on the EtherNet/IP Module.
• The configuration loop is used only by the MicroMotion Ethernet Config Tool. In typical
installations, this tool is not needed.
