4.10.12 Use of the Ethernet interface with EasyIP
The device makes the EtherNet/IP protocol available for
communication with a higher-level controller.
This allows comprehensive exchange of data and control of
the device. Data can be preprocessed in the Compact Vision
System or directly transmitted to the controller for further
processing.
Read/write processes are performed via the defined
EtherNet/IP objects, which allow access not just to I/O data
but also to system parameters.
Certain memory addresses can be both read and written to,
while others can only be read or only written to (
è
tables in
appendix A.7).
Commissioning:
1. Switch the system off in order to avoid faults or damage.
Disconnect the power supply to the Compact Vision
System and the device to be coupled.
2. Using the specified cables, connect the Compact Vision
System to the device to be connected, e.g. via an Ethernet
switch or hub.
3. Reconnect the power supply.
4. Set up a connection to the Compact Vision System using
the “CheckKon” program and set the system parameters
under “Ethernet interface”:
– The system parameter “EtherNet/IP Server” activates
the EtherNet/IP function.
Notification of slave features using “EDS Hardware
Installation Tool (Rockwell Automation)”
When you commission a new EtherNet/IP slave for the first
time, this allows the system to be notified of its characterist­
ics in advance. This has the advantage that the device is
correctly identified in a scan and does not require further
configuration.
