4. Next add a
New Module
under the
Generic EtherNet Bridge
and add a
CIP-Connection. Here the parameters for the I/O connection are
specified. The input and output sizes need to match the input and output
sizes configured in PCB. The
Address
field value represents the
connection number in PCB. By default all of the connections have 250
Input words, 248 Output words, and 0 Configuration words . The Comm
format should be set to Data type INT, and the Assembly instances
should be "1" for input, "2" for output, and "4" for configuration.
5. A CIP Connection will need to be added and configured for each I/O
connection.
Configuring EIP Class 1 Connections in PCB
There are four configurable parameters for each I/O connection in PCB.
Parameter
Value Range
Description
Input Data
Address
0-3999
This parameter specifies the starting address within the
gateway
’s virtual database for input data transferred to the
PLC
Input Size
0-250
This parameter specifies the number of Integers being
transferred to the PLC's input image (250 integers max)
Output Data
Address
0-3999
This parameter specifies the starting address within the
gateway
’s virtual database for output data transferred to
the PLC
Output Size
0-248
This parameter specifies the number of integers being
transferred to the PLC's output image (248 integers max)
