2.1 General
The Anybus CompactCom 40 EtherNet/IP communication module provides instant EtherNet/IP
conformance tested connectivity via the patented Anybus CompactCom host interface. Any
device that supports this standard can take advantage of the features provided by the module,
allowing seamless network integration regardless of network type. The module supports both
linear and ring network topology (DLR, Device Level Ring).
The modular approach of the Anybus CompactCom 40 platform allows the CIP-object
implementation to be extended to fit specific application requirements. Furthermore, the
Identity Object can be customized, allowing the end product to appear as a vendor-specific
implementation rather than a generic Anybus module.
This product conforms to all aspects of the host interface for Anybus CompactCom 40 modules
defined in the Anybus CompactCom 40 Hardware and Software Design Guides, making it fully
interchangeable with any other device following that specification. Generally, no additional
network related software support is needed, however in order to be able to take full advantage
of advanced network specific functionality, a certain degree of dedicated software support may
be necessary.
