5.1
Industrial Ethernet (IND)
CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
Based upon on the standard TCP/IP protocol suite,
Industrial Ethernet (IND)
is a high-
level application layer protocol for industrial automation applications that uses traditional
Ethernet hardware and software to define an application layer protocol that structures the
task of configuring, accessing and controlling industrial automation devices.
Industrial Ethernet (IND)
classifies Ethernet nodes as predefined device types with specific
behaviors. The set of device types and the EIP application layer protocol is based on the
Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) layer used in ControlNet. Building on these two widely
used protocol suites,
Industrial Ethernet (IND)
provides a seamlessly integrated system
from the RFID Subnet network to the Host and enterprise networks.
The BIS M-626_ is designed to communicate as an
Industrial Ethernet (IND)
client
device, which will receive and execute RFID commands issued by the host / PLC
(acting as
Industrial Ethernet (IND)
Server).
Paragraphs 5.3 through 5.7 contain instructions that will help you accomplish the following:

Assign the BIS M-626_ an IP address via HTTP Server

Configure the BIS M-
626’s Subnet Node via
OnDemand Utilities

Create “
Controller Tags
” in the PLC

Verify PLC and BIS M-626_ Subnet Node connectivity
