IO and signal configuration
On this page, you configure the send and receive assemblies for EtherNet/
IP within the Edge Gateway. The Edge Gateway works as an EtherNet/IP
Adapter
In the context of EtherNet/IP, an „IO Item“ corresponds to an EtherNet/IP
send or receive assembly.
The upper table (
Available IO items
) displays the list of the possible
(selectable) send and receive assemblies:
·
The Send Assembly (IO item
Send
, Instance ID usually 100) acts as a
producer and transmits data from the application to the network.
·
The Receive Assembly (IO item
Receive
, Instance ID usually 101) acts
as a consumer and transmits data from the network to the application.
At maximum, one send and one receive assembly can be configured.
EtherNet/IP assemblies have a configurable data length: possible lengths
range from 1 up to 504 Byte each for send and receive data (see columns
Min_length
and
Max_length
).
The lower table (
IO items
) displays the EtherNet/IP configuration and is
empty at the beginning.
