6.2.10. EtherNet/IP
The relay supports communication using EtherNet/IP protocol
which is a part of CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) family.
EtherNet/IP protocol is available with the optional inbuilt
Ethernet port. The protocol can be used to read / write data
from the relay using request / response communication or via
cyclic messages transporting data assigned to assemblies (sets
of data).
EtherNet/IP main features:
 Static data model: 2 standard objects (Overload and Control
Supervisor), 2 private objects (one for digital data and one
for analog data) and 4 configuration objects for protection
functions configuration

Two configurable assemblies (one producing and one
consuming) with the maximum capacity of 128 bytes each
EDS file that can be fed to any client supporting EDS files:
can be generated at any time, all changes to EtherNet/IP
configuration (see configuration parameters in table below)
or to assemblies‟ content require generating of the new EDS
file.
 Three types of communications are supported: UCMM (one
time request / response), Class 3 connection (cyclic request /
response) and Class 1 connection (cyclic IO messages
containing assemblies‟ data)
EtherNet/IP implementation on VAMP relay serves as a server
and is not capable of initiating communication
