ArmorPoint I/O 2-Port EtherNet/IP Adapter, Series A
Publication
1738-IN028B-EN-E - February 2010
If using the adapter with a 1756-ENBT module, 1768-ENBT module or an
L3xE processor, use the following required firmware versions for these bridge
modules:
•
1756-ENBT firmware version 4.5 or greater
•
1768-ENBT firmware version 2.1 or greater
•
L3xE processor firmware version 17 or greater
If you use the BootP utility to assign IP addresses to the adapter, use version
2.3.2 or greater.
Understand Messaging
Class 3 (Explicit Message) requests through the adapter to a specific I/O
module may not always receive a response from the I/O module. In the case
where the I/O module does not reply to the request, the adapter responds
with an error code indicating a time-out.
Establish I/O Connections
When you power up an ArmorPoint I/O system and establish I/O
connections, the outputs transition to the Idle state, applying Idle state data
before going to RUN mode. This occurs even when the controller making the
connection is already in RUN mode.
Configure Autobaud
The adapter cannot reconfigure an I/O module that you previously
configured to operate at a fixed baud rate. When you reuse an
ArmorPoint I/O module from another ArmorPoint I/O system,
configure the module to autobaud before using it with the adapter.
