7 EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP uses the Ethernet network, which means that it is also necessary to configure all the parameters relating to it, as described in the chapter
Ethernet network parameter configuration.
7.1 Introduction
EtherNet/IP is a fieldbus communication protocol that adapts the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to the Ethernet standard.
The reference standards are:
 IEC 61158: Industrial communication networks – Fieldbus specifications
 IEC 61784-1: Industrial communication networks – Profiles – Part 1: Fieldbus profiles
 IEC 61784-1: Industrial communication networks – Profiles – Part 2: Additional fieldbus profiles for real-time networks based on ISO/IEC
8802-3
All the protocols can be monitored and analyzed by using normal Ethernet analysis tools.
In an EtherNet/IP network the data exchange is managed by a master (SCANNER) that interfaces one or more slaves (ADAPTER).
7.2 Physical interface: GB40A-EtherNet/IP optional board
To use the EtherNet/IP fieldbus it is necessary to install the GB40A-EtherNet/IP optional board described in the paragraph EtherNet/IP communication
module (GB40A-EtherNet/IP).

Table 7.1 - EtherNet/IP interface main characteristics
For more information about EtherNet/IP see the above mentioned standards.
7.4 Connections
The EtherNet/IP connectors are standard RJ45 connections used for Ethernet communication.
The cables are standard Ethernet cables with features as in the previous table.
The possible topologies, following the EtherNet/IP standards, also include:
 Star topology with Ethernet standard infrastructural devices
 Ring (Device Lele Ring, DLR) with appropriately enabled devices
Compliance with the IEEE Ethernet standard allows the user to select different communication speeds (10, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps) and also a flexible
network architecture, compatible with the commercially available Ethernet options (copper, fiber optics, wireless).
7.5 LED
The communication status is shown by LEDs on the GB40A-EtherNet/IP for the network and module status.
For the LED meaning see the paragraph EtherNet/IP communication module (GB40A-EtherNet/IP).
