ETHERNET/IP TROUBLESHOOTING

Viewing on oscilliscope:  for EtherNet/IP the transmit and receive 

signal pairs should change state rapidly as the controller transmits 

messages to the encoder and the encoder replies.  Transmission 

rates vary, but these messages can be extremely short and typically 

require scope triggering to spot them.  

A simple one-to-one connection can be made to an ordinary PC.    

Connect the PC to the encoder using standard (not cross-patch) 

cable.  Power the encoder using the power connector.  The encoder 

Link 1 should illuminate green.  Use the Ping command, Run “ping 

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” where xxx represents the IP address that has 

been assigned to thee encoder.  The encoder should reply, and the 

communication “ping” time will be reported by the PC.  The Active 1 

LED should flash briefly during the communication.

A software “snoop” or “sniffer” program can also be used to packet-

analyze the communication.  

If the position is changing as the encoder moves, but is reported 

incorrectly, the Preset parameter may have been loaded into the 

encoder at the wrong physical position of the machine.  Drive the 

machine to the home/preset position, and cycle power to see if the 

position is correctly reloaded.
