Ethernet/IP Implementation
The IP-0XXX-T series of Marquees have been designed to work on Ethernet/IP as a Generic Ethernet
I/O module. No special Message Blocks or other special programming is required within the controller
to control the Marquee. This chapter will discuss the Ethernet/IP implementation and how to configure
the Marquee on an Ethernet/IP network.
REQUIRE ETHERNET/IP MASTER/CLIENT
Because the Marquee is setup as an Ethernet/IP server/slave device, a client/master device is required
to exchange data and message numbers to the Marquee. The Client/master must support Ethernet/IP
Class 1 I/O Messaging in order to control the Marquee. If the controlling device supports Ethernet/IP
I/O control then the controller can control the Marquee. Typical examples of this are the Rockwell
Automation ControlLogix and CompaqLogix series of controllers. There may be other controllers
available but only these two controllers, with Ethernet/IP Communications, have been verified at this
time.
ETHERNET/IP CONNECTION
The IP-0XXX-T Marquees are equipped with 2 Ethernet ports. A plant Ethernet port used for
configuration and monitoring over the plant network and an Ethernet/IP port for connecting to an
Ethernet/IP I/O controller.
