EtherNet/IP Devices
This tab is enabled when the Primary Interface selected is EtherNet/IP Explicit
Messaging.
IMPORTANT: EtherNet/IP Explicit Messaging is only allowed when the PLX51-PBM is operating as a
Profibus Slave.
The EtherNet/IP Devices configuration is shown in the figure below. Up to 5
EtherNet/IP devices can be configured with up to 50 EtherNet/IP mapped items
allowing for either explicit EtherNet/IP Class 3 or Unconnected Messaging (UCMM)
to any of the 5 configured devices. The data from each EtherNet/IP device is written
to or read from a data table with a size of 10Kbytes. See the
Explicit EtherNet/IP
Messaging Operation
section for more details.
The PLX51-PBM EtherNet/IP Devices configuration window is opened by either
double clicking on the module in the tree or right-clicking the module and selecting
Configuration
.
