Settings
Name The group's name can be freely defined and will for example be shown on the portal. It can consist of 1 to
64 printable ASCII characters. Note that the same group name cannot be used more than once.
When adding or editing a value, another dialog will show up. Here you can configure the
following parameters:
Name The value's name can be freely defined and will for example be shown on the portal. It can consist of 1 to
64 printable ASCII characters. Note that the same value name cannot be used more than once inside the
same group.
Data type This is the data type of the value.
Length If the length is greater than 1, an array will be defined. Arrays can have up to 255 elements.
Limits
You can define up to 128 groups and 2896 values. The number of all scalar (non-array) values
plus the size of all arrays must not exceed 2896. The number of bytes transmitted in each
direction is limited to 1448.
Settings
Below the group and value list general settings can be configured:
Use DHCP
IP-Adresse
IP Netmask
Gateway IP address
Store changes from
external tools
Download EDS file
Through the Download button, you can download the EDS file. The EDS (Electronic Data Sheet)
file can be imported into a EtherNet/IP Scanner Tool. It includes the values defined above.
Acyclic data access
The I/O values can be accessed acyclically through the CIP object 0xA2. Each instance of this
object starting from instance 1 represents a group. Input groups appear before output groups.
For each group a set of parameters can be accessed:
Attribute Group name (SHORT_STRING, read only)
1
Attribute Array that holds the data type of each value in the group (USINT, read only). For array values there is one
2 entry per array element. The following data types may appear:
0
BOOL
1
SINT
2
INT
3
DINT
4
USINT
5
UINT
6
UDINT
7
REAL
Anybus Edge Gateway Reference Guide
If this option is set, the module will get its IP configuration through DHCP.
IP address for the EtherNet/IP network interface. This option is deactivated if DHCP is used.
Netmask for the EtherNet/IP network interface. This option is deactivated if DHCP is used.
Gateway IP address for the EtherNet/IP network interface. This option is deactivated if DHCP is
used.
If this option is set, changes to the module's IP configuration (DHCP, Address, Netmask,
gateway) through external tools will be stored. Otherwise these changes are lost on the next
reboot.
