Operating behavior on EtherNet/IP™
The controller is an EtherNet/IP™ scanner.
10.1
EtherNet/IP™ interface
The supported features of the EtherNet/IP™ fieldbus interface can be found in the
"Technical data" chapter in the operating instructions of the respective controller.
The device is connected to the other network nodes using a category 5, class D twis-
ted-pair cable in accordance with IEC 11801, edition 2.0.
INFORMATION
According to IEEE 802.3, 200 edition, the maximum cable length for
10 MBaud/100 MBaud Ethernet (10BaseT/100BaseT) between 2 network nodes is
100 m.
10.1.1
The integrated Ethernet switch
The controller is equipped with an integrated 2‑port Ethernet switch for connecting the
fieldbus technology. The following network topologies are supported:
•
Tree topology
•
Star topology
•
Line topology
INFORMATION
Note that an IEC program with a suitable fieldbus station must be loaded on the
MOVI-C
®
CONTROLLER progressive UHX65 to support the integrated Ethernet
switch.
Auto-crossing
The two ports leading out of the Ethernet switch have auto-crossing functionality. You
can use both patch and crossover cables to connect to the next Ethernet node.
Auto-negotiation
The baud rate and duplex mode are negotiated by both Ethernet nodes when estab-
lishing the connection. For this purpose, both Ethernet ports of the Ethernet connec-
tion support an auto-negotiation functionality and work with a baud rate of either
100 Mbit or 10 Mbit in full duplex or half duplex mode.
10.2
EtherNet/IP™ controller stack
The EtherNet/IP™ controller stack of the controller is part of the IEC project. For an
executable EtherNet/IP™ device, you must activate and parameterize a fieldbus sta-
tion both in the MOVISUITE
®
engineering software and in the IEC Editor.
