EtherNet/IP Gateway
The UE410-EN1 supports two vendor specific objects which can be polled via explicit
messaging.

The Full Data Set Transfer Object allows to poll for each of the data sets as defined in
section 9.7.1. There is one instance where each attribute represents a data set.
 The Individual Data Set Transfer Object allows to poll for the individual data set para-
meters as defined in section 9.7.2. There is one instance per data set and each
attribute represents a data set parameter.
Write-to-Tag/File — UE410-EN writes the data to the PLC memory
In this operating mode the UE410-EN as a master writes the data of all the activated data
sets in the specified memory areas of the PLC. If this operating mode is desired:
 Chose the operating mode Write-to-Tag/File in the Rx (To PLC) Ethernet Transfer
Method selection field.
 Carry out the following settings on the same web page (see Tab. 91):
– PLC IP Address
– PLC controller Slot Number
– Maximum PLC Update Rate
– Enable Heartbeat Message (either this option or Update Immediately on
Status/Configuration Change must be activated!)
– Heartbeat Update Rate (if Enable Heartbeat Message is activated)
– Update Immediately on Status/Configuration Change (either this option or Enable
Heartbeat Message must be activated!)
– Write all Enabled Data Sets to Data Set 1 Tag/File
– Rx (To PLC) Data Set N PLC Tag/File Name — for all activated data sets
 Activate Save in Flash and click Submit to save the selection.
Only if Save in Flash is checked, will the new configuration be stored in the UE410-EN’s
non-volatile memory and be available after a restart of the gateway. Submit without
checking Save in Flash allows, for example, the testing of new configurations without
overwriting the old configuration.
9.4.2 Operating modes in the transfer mode Tx (from PLC)
PLC writes — PLC sends digital output data to the UE410-EN
In this operating mode the PLC sends writing requirements as master to the UE410-EN in
order to set the digital outputs. If this operating mode is desired:
 Chose the operating mode PLC Writes in the Tx (from PLC) Transfer Mode selection
field. All the further settings do not apply.
 Activate Save in Flash and click Submit to save the selection.
Only if Save in Flash is checked, will the new configuration be stored in the UE410-EN’s
non-volatile memory and be available after a restart of the gateway. Submit without
checking Save in Flash allows, for example, the testing of new configurations without
overwriting the old configuration.
The UE410-EN1 supports one vendor specific object which can be used to control the
digital outputs via explicit messaging: The Discrete Output Point Object allows to control
the digital outputs. There is one instance per output where one attribute is used to control
the output and one attribute represents the current setting of the output.
For a detailed description of the Discrete Output Point Object please refer to section 9.7.3.
