Parameterization
The WI180C-EN can be integrated in Ethernet/IP control systems in different ways.
NOTE
All configuration information relates to controls manufactured by Beckhoff, which are
configured and diagnosed with the TwinCAT™ configuration tool.
Integration in Ethernet/IP
The WI180C-EN can be integrated in Ethernet/IP in the following ways:
•
As a generic module:
All module settings must be selected manually.
•
Using an EDS file:
The WI180C-EN module settings have been predefined.
Configuration
The parameters are configured offline, then written to the WI180C-EN and activated on
switching to online mode. The following options are available for configuring the
WI180C-EN:
•
The configuration assembly
•
The controller tags in the controller organizer
Configuration options when integrating as a generic module
