Features; Delta Eip Architecture - Delta AHCPU560-EN2 Series Operation Manual

Electronic Data Sheets; EDS files are simple text files used by EtherNet/IP network
EDS configuration tools to help you identify EtherNet/IP products and easily commission them on
a network.
Data Mapping Exchange data between devices
EIP Scanner The master station is called EIP Scanner in EtherNet/IP.
EIP Adapter The slave station is called EIP Adapter in EtherNet/IP.
Device Level Ring (DLR) provides fault-tolerant network design for daisy-chain and linear
topology. The DLR protocol provides high network availability in a ring topology and was
DLR intended primarily for implementation in EtherNet/IP end-devices that have two Ethernet
ports and embedded switch technology, providing fast network fault detection and
reconfiguration to support the most demanding control applications.

1.3 Features

1.3.1 Delta EIP Architecture

This typical Delta EIP architecture includes EIP Scanner and Adapter; data mapping can be achieved between devices via
an I/O connection and explicit message.

The AHCPU5X1-EN series which includes AHCPU501-EN, AHCPU511-EN, AHCPU521-EN and AHCPU531-EN
support Ethernet single port communication and for network installation, it is required to employ EtherNet/IP
devices.

The AHCPU560-EN2, AH10EN-5A and AHRTU-ETHN-5A series support Ethernet dual port and DLR function; thus
it can install, configure, and maintain linear as well as device-level ring (DLR) networks by using EtherNet/IP
devices with embedded switch technology.
