5.2.3 Configuring EIP Class 3 Client[x]/UClient Connection
The PLX3x gateway supports two connected clients and one unconnected client
(most devices use connected clients; be sure refer to the user manual for the
target device for verification).
Use the
EIP Class 3 Client [x]
connections when the gateway is acting as a
client/master initiating message instructions to the server/slave devices. The
PLX3x EIP protocol supports three connected client connections. Typical
applications include SCADA systems, and SLC communication.
Use the
EIP Class 3 UClient
connection when the gateway is acting as a
client/master initiating message instructions to the server/slave devices. The
PLX3x EIP protocol supports one unconnected client connection.
Unconnected messaging is a type of EtherNet/IP explicit messaging that uses
TCP/IP implementation. Certain devices, such as the AB Power Monitor 3000
series B, support unconnected messaging. Check your device documentation
for further information about its EtherNet/IP implementation.
