EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP is an abbreviation for Ethernet Industrial Protocol. It is an industrial open network in which
the TCP/IP protocol has been adopted and the CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) has been used in the
application layer as the communication protocol. EtherNet/IP is controlled by ODVA (Open DeviceNet
Vendor Association, Inc.).
The EtherNet/IP communication is available when the EtherNet/IP network card (LEC-S-N9) is connected
to the driver. The driver to which the EtherNet/IP network card is connected is a Generic device type.
7.2.1
EtherNet/IP Network card (LEC-S-N9)
EtherNet/IP network card (LEC-S-N9) is required for EtherNet/IP communication with the LECSN-T driver.
The names of each part are shown below.
For details, refer to
“LECSN-T Operation Manual Section 19.2”.

Extinguished
Indicates that the power is shut off or no IP address has been assigned.
Flickering 1 in green
Indicates that an IP address has been assigned and the EtherNet/IP
Network card has not been connected to the network.
Lit in green
Indicates that a network connection has been established.
Flickering 1 in red
Indicates that a network connection timeout has occurred.
Lit in red
Indicates that duplication of an IP address has been detected.
