CIP Path
The CIP Path to the target device. It can either be entered manually or the
user can browse to them by clicking the
Browse
button. The Target Browser

The required EtherNet/IP device can then be chosen by selecting it and
clicking the

Timeout
The amount of time the PLX51-PBM module will wait for a response from the
target EtherNet/IP device.
Retry Count
The number of retires before the target EtherNet/IP device is considered
offline.
Comm Status
Offset
This is the offset in the data table (used to map EtherNet/IP device data) which
provides the communication status of each EtherNet/IP device. The
Communication Status is as shown below:

EtherNet/IP Map
This tab is enabled when the Primary Interface selected is EtherNet/IP Explicit
Messaging.
IMPORTANT: EtherNet/IP Explicit Messaging is only allowed when the PLX51-PBM is operating as a
Profibus Slave.
The EtherNet/IP Map configuration is shown in the figure below. Up to 5 EtherNet/IP
devices can be configured with up to 50 EtherNet/IP mapped items allowing for either
explicit EtherNet/IP Class 3 or Unconnected Messaging (UCMM) to any of the 5
configured devices. The data from each EtherNet/IP device is written to or read from
a data table with a size of 10Kbytes. See the
Explicit EtherNet/IP Messaging
Operation
section for more details.
The PLX51-PBM EtherNet/IP Map configuration window is opened by either double
clicking on the module in the tree or right-clicking the module and selecting
Configuration
.
