refer specifically to EtherNet/IP transport class 1. Sometimes referred to as cyclic
EtherNet/IP IO data transfer or implicit messaging, this connection is meant to approximate a real-time data transfer to and
from the PLC and the target device.

.
The ZMX is controlled via EtherNet/IP using assembly objects.
The Originator of the EtherNet/IP connection is the PLC. The Target of the EtherNet/IP connection is the ZMX. The direction
of communication can be described as T > O or O > T (sometimes also shown as T2O or O2T).
6.1.1 Configuring the Sensor to use an Industrial Protocol
Use the following instructions to enable the Modbus TCP protocol or the EtherNet/IP protocol on the ZMX sensor.
1. Go to the
Communications
pane in the Banner 3D Configuration software.
Figure 23. Communications Pane
2. From the
Industrial Protocol
menu, select the desired protocol.
A sensor reboot may be required.
3. Click
Live Protocol Map
to open a view of the data.
