2.3.1 How to Setup a EtherNet/IP Network

The following is a basic procedure for setting up an EtherNet/IP network:

2.3.2 EtherNet/IP Network Construction

Network Configuration
EtherNet/IP network is configured as shown in the following figure.
Node
There are two types of node: master and slave. The master controls a network and gathers
data from its slaves. The slaves, including external I/O and other devices, output data in
response to the master's output order and informs the master of its input status.
You can install the master anywhere in the network. One master node can control up to
127 nodes.
Universal Ethernet cable is used for EtherNet/IP. Use a proper cable such as environmental
resistance and refraction resistance that fulfills the environment.

1. Choose node layout and pathway in your network.
For details, refer to the following section 2.3.2 EtherNet/IP Network Construction.
2. Lay cables.
For details, refer to the following section 2.3.2 EtherNet/IP Network Construction.
3. Configure nodes.
For details, refer to respective manuals of your desired nodes.
4. Turn ON the nodes.
5. Install the EtherNet/IP board in the controller.
When installing the EtherNet/IP master board (Code: R12B040720),
refer to 2.3.3 EtherNet/IP Master Board Installation.
When installing the EtherNet/IP slave board (Code: R12B040719),
refer to 2.3.4 EtherNet/IP Slave Board Installation.
6. Operate the EtherNet/IP network.
