9.1.6
EtherNet/IP communication and connection timeout
The EtherNet/IP declares a watchdog the time within which both master and slave must send IO
back to each other. This watchdog time is a factor of the communication cycle time (cycle time x
timeout multiplier) and is set by the master. Minimum cycle time for EtherNet/IP is 1 millisecond.
In case of normal communication mode, 4 ms is the fastest recommended cycle time for Ethernet/
IP. Faster cycle times (1 ms and 2 ms) are recommended in Fast Mode. See Chapter 6.2 "Internal
communication modes" for more details.
When an IO message is not received within the watchdog time, the timeout setting value is activated
and a fault is created after it elapses. This means that the panel parameter "Communication
timeout" (see Chapter 6.1.6 "Communication timeout") is used as an additional timeout value. The
same logic applies if a connection is closed or the cable disconnects (link loss).
Figure 50. EtherNet/IP timeout logic with implicit connection (IO connection)
The explicit connections (TCP connection where PLC/user reads and writes data via CIP objects) will
generate fieldbus fault only if that connection has been used to write process data over Assembly,
Control Supervisor or AC/DC object. The explicit connection timeout is defined with TCP/IP Object's
attribute 13d "Encapsulation Inactivity Timeout".
We recommend that implicit connection is used for motor control and explicit connections for
"service data".
