If these prerequisites are given, the controller will recognise the amplifier as an EtherNet/IP device in the network and be able to communicate with it. The interface information for EMGZ309._.EIP is defined in an EDS-file. EDS-files for EMGZ309._.EIP can be downloaded from the FMS webpage. Link: http://www.fms-technology.com/en/eds-files.php...
Operating Manual EMGZ309._.EIP 5.4 Configuration of the Amplifier over EtherNet/IP EMGZ309._.EIP may, but need not be configured via EtherNet/IP. The Amplifier can be configured by means of a machine control unit, provided this unit is integrated in the same network. The communication between machine control and amplifier is carried out with dedicated software (e.g.
Operating Manual EMGZ309._.EIP 6 Integration in an Allen-Bradley PLC Following chapters deal with the integration and operation of the EMGZ309._.EIP amplifier with an Allen-Bradley PLC. The project software RSLogix5000 from Allen- Bradley is required to program the PLC. Furthermore, it is assumed that a development system with PC and corresponding development software RSLogix from Rockwell Automation is available and the programmer is familiar with these tools..
