EtherNet/IP Slaves Section 1-2
1-1-2 Features
EtherNet/IP Slaves have the following features.
Common Features
Node Addresses Set
Using Rotary Switches Node addresses are set using rotary switches, which are clearer than the pre-
vious DIP switch settings.
Automatically Detected
Baud Rate Smart Slaves do not require the baud rate to be set. The Smart Slave auto-
matically operates at the baud rate of the switching hub.
I/O Power Status Monitor The I/O Power Status Monitor is used to detect whether the I/O power supply
is connected and provide notification in the Status Area. The Configurator or
explicit messages can be used to read the information.
Input Filter (Input Units
Only) The input filter is used to read the input value several times during the set
interval and remove irregular data caused by noise and switch chattering.
This function can also be used to create ON/OFF delays.
These settings are made by using the Network Configurator.
Detection Functions
(Standard Feature) Detection results can be read by using explicit messages if the sensor short-
circuit/disconnected and external load short-circuit/disconnected detection
functions are used. The error location can be rapidly specified and restored.
Features of Screw-less Clamp Terminals
Labor-saving Clamp
Terminal Block For I/O wiring, a screw-less clamp terminal block is provided. Wiring is
reduced by the use of ferrules that can be easily inserted and then later
removed by simply pressing a release button.
Features of Environment-resistive Terminals
Dust-proof and
Waterproof Construction
(IP67) for High Resistance
to Environment The environment-resistive construction enables usage in locations subject to
oil and water splashes (IP67). An environment-resistive box is not required,
enabling greater downsizing and reducing wiring labor.
No Power Supply Wiring
for Input Devices Power for communications, internal circuits, and input devices is shared, mak-
ing wiring necessary only for the communications power supply.
1-2 EtherNet/IP Slaves
The EtherNet/IP Slaves are classified into the following categories.
• General-purpose Slaves
Slaves with digital I/O functions using standard connectors for communi-
cations cables.
• Environment-resistive Slaves
Slaves with I/O functions using round waterproof connectors for communi-
cations cables.
