Glossary
EIP
Abbreviation for EtherNet/IP
Fieldbus
Industrial communication system that connects a large number of field devices such as
probes (sensors), final controlling elements, and drives (actuators) to a control device.
I&M data
Identification and maintenance data.
Information stored in a module that helps you to check the plant configuration, to locate
hardware modifications in a plant, or to remedy faults in a plant. I&M data enable modules to
be uniquely identified online.
IP address
To enable an EtherNet/IP device to be addressed as a node on Industrial Ethernet, the
EtherNet/IP device also requires an IP address that is unique within the network. The IP
address is made up of 4 decimal numbers with a range of values from 0 through 255. The
decimal numbers are separated by a decimal point.
The IP address is made up as follows:
● Address of the (sub)net
● Address of the station (host or network node)
MAC address
The MAC address is a worldwide unique device identification and is assigned to each
EtherNet/IP device during production. The EtherNet/IP device can be accessed via the
MAC address via LAN.
The MAC address is 6 bytes long and has the following structure:
● 3 bytes for the manufacturer's ID
● 3 bytes for the device ID (consecutive number)
The MAC address can generally be read from the front of the device,
e.g.: 08-00-06-6B-80-C0.
Messages
Data that is transferred from the 3RW5 soft starter and indicates the current operating status.
Parameterization
Parameterization is the definition of parameters using the parameterization software.
