The Ethernet Module supports Class 3 connections for explicit messaging, and Class 1
connections for I/O (Implicit) messaging.
The Ethernet Module can be configured to produce and consume 0 bytes of data up to 256 bytes
of data.
The TCP connections used for Ethernet/IP have an inactivity timeout of 60 seconds. In the event
of an inactivity timeout, the TCP connection will automatically close.
9.2 Ethernet/IP Configuration
If Ethernet/IP protocol will be used in the application, Ethernet/IP configuration must be
performed, in addition to the general Ethernet Module Configuration previously described in
Chapter 3. To configure Ethernet/IP protocol, use Cscape Programming Software to perform the
following five steps:
1. Open the Ethernet Module Configuration dialog (Figure 3.5 [page
18]) as described in
Chapter 3.
2. Enable Ethernet/IP by checking the Ethernet IP checkbox in the Module Configuration
dialog (Figure 3.5).
3. Click on the Config button next to the Ethernet IP checkbox to open the Ethernet/IP
Configuration dialog (Figure 9.2).
4. Set the location and size of Produced and consumed data.
5. Also, set the location of the 16-bit Ethernet/IP Status word.
