Chapter 2 Ethernet Interface
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the Industrial Ethernet (IE) interface.
Industrial Protocol Support
The EA3600 Industrial Ethernet interface supports the following standard protocols:
•
PROFINET (for details, see Chapter 4, PROFINET Interface)
•
EtherNet/IP (for details, see Chapter 5, EtherNet/IP Interface)
•
Modbus TCP (for details, see Chapter 6, Modbus TCP Interface).
Selecting the Active Industrial Ethernet Protocol
The EA3600 supports one Industrial Ethernet protocol at a time. The active protocol is selected with the Industrial
Ethernet Configuration Utility, and any selection change takes effect after the EA3600 is power cycled.
For more information about how to configure the Active IE protocol see Chapter 1, Initial Setup.
