Et h erN e t/ I P Op er at i on M a nu a l1 - 2_11.1 Introduction1.1.1 EtherNet/IPEtherNet/IP (“IP” stands for “Industrial Protocol”) is an industrial Ethernet network managed by ODVA, Inc. (formerly OpenDeviceNet Vendors Association, Inc.), a global trade and standards development organization.EtherNet/IP works on a TCP/UDP/IP based Ethernet network and uses most widely deployed collections of Ethernetstandards to provide a broad range of applications in different industries that require high-speed and stability includingFactory Automation (FA), Building Automation (BA), Process Automation (PA) and many more.Delta covers a full range of controller and drive products supported by EtherNet/IP, including Programmable LogicControllers (PLC), inverters, Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and so on. Refer to section 9.1 for a full product listsupported by EtherNet/IP. In addition, users can also use the EDS file to connect to the EtherNet/IP devices of otherbrands. Delta EtherNet/IP software, the EIP Builder, can be called or run independently through the ISPSoft v3.06.1.2 DefinitionTerm DefinitionODVA Open DeviceNet Vendor Association for EtherNet/IPEIPEtherNet/IP, an industrial Ethernet network, provides interoperability for system providers. IPstands for Industrial Protocol. The term “EIP” (EtherNet/IP) will be used throughout thismanual.I/O Connection Via the I/O connection to connect to EtherNet/IP and to exchange data cyclically.Explicit Message Connect to EtherNet/IP and to exchange data non-cyclically. Data will be exchanged pieceby piece via instructions.RPI Requested Packet Interval, via the I/O connection to connect to EtherNet/IP to exchangedata at regular time intervals.ACD Address Conflict Detection to detect IP address duplications.Produced/ConsumedTAG (P/C TAG) TAGs are the methods used for assigning and referencing memory locations forRockwell PLCs, the same as the registers for Delta PLCs. Produced TAG: A TAG that a controller makes available for other controllers. Multiplecontrollers can simultaneously consume (receive) the data. A produced TAG sends itsdata to consumed TAGs (consumers) without using logic. Consumed TAG: A TAG that receives the data of a produced TAG. The data type of theconsumed TAG and the produced TAG must be matched (including any arraydimensions). The data is transferred over Ethernet/IP, for example, PLC-A needs data from PLC-B,so PLC-B sends the data to PLC-A. Therefore, PLC-A is the producer and PLC-B isthe consumer.
