2.2 Connecting the EtherNet/IP network
Connecting the EtherNet/IP network
The I/O devices are based on the EtherNet/IP communication protocol but does
not require any additional RobotWare options or hardware options to be connected
to the robot controller. In this standard configuration the devices should be
connected to the private network (I/O or LAN + ETHERNET SWITCH) to gain the
advantages with plug-n-produce.
When using the RobotWare options
3024-1 EtherNet/IP Scanner
or
3024-2
EtherNet/IP Adapter
more configuration possibilities are available. For more
information see
Application manual - EtherNet/IP Scanner/Adapter
.
A factory wide I/O network should be connected to the Ethernet port WAN on the
controller.
The following figure illustrates where the Ethernet port connectors are placed on
the computer.
