Communicating with Devices on an EtherNet/IP Link
Connections are allocations of resources that provide more reliable
communications between devices than unconnected messages.
All EtherNet/IP connections are unscheduled. An unscheduled connection
is a message transfer between controllers that is triggered by the requested
packet interval (RPI) or the program (such as a MSG instruction).
Unscheduled messaging lets you send and receive data when needed.
The DriveLogix5730 controller supports 32 CIP connections over an
EtherNet/IP network.
Configuring Distributed I/O
The DriveLogix5730 controller supports distributed I/O over a EtherNet/IP
link. Configuring I/O in a remote chassis is similar to configuring local I/O.
You create the remote communication module and distributed I/O modules
on the local Ethernet port.
To communicate with distributed I/O modules, you add a remote adapter
and I/O modules to the I/O Configuration folder of the controller.
1.
Add the remote adapter to the
embedded EtherNet/IP port of the
controller.
2.
Add the I/O modules to the remote
adapter.
To Add Distributed I/O Build the I/O Configuration in this Order
