n Device Level Ring (DLR) topology - The nodes of the network are
connected in a circular mode, forming a ring.
n Linear bus topology - Nodes are connected in a linear array, with a
single cable hop from one device to the next.
n Star topology - The nodes of the network are connected to a
central hub.
This section only simply introduces how to configure EtherNet/IP
devices.
For more information, see ControlEdge EtherNet/IP User's Guide.
Configuring an EtherNet/IP client
1. Bind EtherNet/IP Client to ETH3.
2. If you want to configure EtherNet/IP devices using EDS file, you
must register EDS files first.
3. Configure EtherNet/IP devices.
l Configure EtherNet/IP devices using EDS file.
l Configure generic EtherNet/IP devices.
Configuring an EtherNet/IP server
1. Bind EtherNet/IP Server to ETH1 or ETH2. Only one port can be
bound at a time.
2. Select EtherNet/IP for variables which will be read and write by
EtherNet/IP client.
Configuring communication with third-party
controllers
n
Configure communication with C300/UOC
In this case, ControlEdge 900 controller acts as an EtherNet/IP
server. Only user-defined data type STRUCT is supported.
a. Bind EtherNet/IP Server to ETH1 or ETH2. Only one port can
be bound at a time.
b. Declare a STRUCT data type.
c. Configure target variables data type as the STRUCT data type.
