EtherNet/IP uses as transfer medium Ethernet cable.
EtherNet/IP can be operated in star topology via an already existing
company network. To operate an EtherNet/IP network at least 1
scanner (master) is required.
The number of EtherNet/IP interface modules (slaves) is only limited
by the number of available IP addresses and the performance of the
scanner.
All stations of the network must be uniquely identified by means of an
IP address. Every EtherNet/IP device has addressing facilities.
From VIPA there is an EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) files for the
EtherNet/IP coupler available. There the scanner can find all the infor-
mation to establish a communication connection to the EtherNet/IP
coupler.
This file may be found in the service area of www.vipa.com. Please
install the EDS file in your configuration tool. Details on the installa-
tion of the EDS file are available from the manual supplied with your
configuration tool.
Exclusively supported is IPv4. At IPv4 the IP address is a 32bit
address that must be unique within the network and consists of 4
numbers that are separated by a dot. Every IP address is a combina-
tion of a Net-ID and a Host-ID and has the following
structure: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Range: 000.000.000.000 to 255.255.255.255
The Network-ID identifies a network res. a network controller that
administrates the network. The Host-ID marks the network connec-
tions of a participant (host) to this network.
The Host-ID can be further divided into a Subnet-ID and a new Host-
ID by using a bit for bit AND assignment with the Subnet mask.
The area of the original Host-ID that is overwritten by 1 of the Subnet
mask becomes the Subnet-ID, the rest is the new Host-ID.
