PROTOCOL-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
9.2.2 Server Settings
In the studio, navigate to A7NETH-2P…Ethernet…EtherNet/IP Server.
Device Name
The device name is used for identification of a device on the EtherNet/IP network. This string is
accessible as the “product name” attribute of the identity object. Enter a string between 1 and 32
characters in length.
DLR
Device Level Ring is a ring redundancy protocol. All devices in a DLR ring must support DLR.
• If the checkbox is cleared (default setting), the card will not operate correctly in a DLR ring. By
disabling this option, the card should not be installed in a DLR ring.
• If the checkbox is checked, the card can participate and will operate correctly in a DLR ring. By
enabling this option, the card can be installed successfully in a DLR ring.
9.2.3 Connection Timeout Options
In the studio’s Project panel, navigate to A7NETH-2P…Ethernet…EtherNet/IP Server. The following
configuration options will determine the actions to be taken if the connection is abnormally terminated or
lost. While this feature provides an additional level of fail-safe functionality for those applications that
require it, there are several ramifications that must be understood prior to enabling this capability. Note
that a certain degree of caution must be exercised when using the timeout feature to avoid “nuisance”
timeouts from occurring.
