Configuring EtherNet/IP devices
EtherNet/IP™ is a communications protocol, currently managed by
the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA). EtherNet/IP is used
in process control and other industrial automation applications. As
per ODVA, “EtherNet/IP is a member of a family of networks that
implements the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) at its upper
layers. CIP encompasses a comprehensive suite of messages and
services for a variety of manufacturing automation applications,
including control, safety, synchronization, motion, configuration and
information.”
ControlEdge 900 controller supports an efficient EtherNet/IP
interface. The EtherNet/IP interface facilitates a comprehensive
integration between ControlEdge 900 controllers and the EtherNet/IP
compatible nodes and I/O devices.
ControlEdge Builder provides options to create new device types for
the supported EtherNet/IP compatible devices. To enable easy
integration between ControlEdge 900 Controller and third-party
controllers, ControlEdge Builder also provides a function block for
the communication between controllers.
The EtherNet/IP I/O devices, drives and relays can be set up in one of
the following network topologies:
