System Configuration for Using the

For a device that does not support EtherNet/IP, you can use the TCP/UDP message service as an al-
ternative to EtherNet/IP communications. Devices such as computers or other controllers can send

shown in the figure below.
For details on the CIP objects, refer to 8-4 CIP Object Services on page 8 - 11.
