The following table specifies the configuration for the EIP client (Controller)
device on the network port:
Parameter
Value
Description
Minimum Command
Delay
0 to 65535
milliseconds
Specifies the number of milliseconds to wait between the initial
issuances of a command. This parameter can be used to delay
all commands sent to servers to avoid "flooding" commands on
the network. This parameter does not affect retries of a
command as they will be issued when a failure is recognized.
Response Timeout
0 to 65535
milliseconds
Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds that a client will wait
before re-transmitting a command if no response is received
from the addressed server. The value depends on the type of
communication network used, and the expected response time
of the slowest device connected to the network.
Retry Count
0 to 10
Specifies the number of times a command will be retried if it fails.
3.8.2 EIP Class 3 Client/UClient [x] Commands
There is a separate command list for each of the different message types
supported by the protocol. Each list is processed from top to bottom, one
after the other, until all specified commands are completed, and then the
polling process begins all over again.
This section defines the EtherNet/IP commands to be issued from the
gateway to server devices on the network. These commands can be used for
data collection and/or control of devices on the TCP/IP network.
In order to interface the virtual database with Rockwell Automation
Programmable Automation controllers (PACs), Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs), or other EtherNet/IP server devices, you must construct a
command list using the command list parameters for each message type.
