on EtherNet/IP
Commissioning on the EtherNet/IP is performed according to the following scheme:
• Address assignment (automatically via DHCP, BootP or manually)
• Configuration of the participant depends on the control software version: either by
using the generic EtherNet module or by installing the EDS file
• Transfer the data to the control
• Adapting the device parameters depends on the version of the control software: either
by configuring the config assembly or by adapting the EDS file
• Use explicit messaging services
The MA 258
i
can be configured in the planning tool/control using the EDS file if the control
supports this. PLC software RSLogix 5000 from Rockwell offers EDS support for EtherNet/
IP from software version 20.00 and up. Without PLC support of the EDS integration, the
settings are made via the "generic EtherNet module". In this case, the respective configu-
ration must be entered and adapted manually for each device.
After all parameters have been set in the planning tool/control, the download to the MA 258
i
takes place. The set parameters are now stored on the MA 258
i
.
Afterwards, all MA 258
i
parameters should be stored via upload in the control. This aids in
retaining the parameters during device exchanges, as they a re now also stored centrally in
the control.
The EtherNet/IP baud rate is defined for the entire network in the planning tool/control.
Detailed information can be found in chapter 12.
