BIS V-6106 Ethernet/IP™
Processor Unit
15
The BIS V-6106 processor unit and the controlling system communicate via Ethernet/IP™
protocol.
The Ethernet/IP™ system consists of the following components:
– Ethernet/IP™
scanner
– Ethernet/IP™ adapter (the BIS V-6106 processor unit in this case)
The processor unit and the controlling system communicate using Ethernet/IP. Assigning a
unique IP address associates the processor unit with a network.
A processor unit can be integrated into a network in different ways (DHCP, BootP, ARP). A MAC
address provides the basis for integration into a network. This hardware address is unique and
distinctly identifies network devices such as the processor unit.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows for dynamic assignment of an IP address
using a server. The hardware can be integrated into the network without requiring any further
configuration. Only automatic assignment (MAC address) of the IP address needs to be
configured.
All device perimeters for configuration are listed in the EDS file. An exact description of the
parameters can be found under point 6.2
