Graco Gateway Configuration
1.Ethernet Settings. Set the IP Address to 192.168.2.101. This should match the Address/Host Name entered in FIG. 72.
2.Protocol Settings. Select the Ethernet/IP Slave Adapter communications driver.
The ENET/B module prefixes all output data with a header containing status information about the orig- inator’s run/idle state. With the Run/Idle Header checked, the communications driver will automati- cally process the header, and data will be ignored if the device is in the Idle state. With the option unchecked, extra space must be allocated in the Gateway block to receive the status information; all data is accepted regardless of the device state.

3.Device Settings. A Gateway block must be created for each connection point.
For the purpose of configuring, the data transfer terms input and output are relative to the device and not the Gateway. An input connection is therefore specified as Gateway to Device, and an output con- nection is specified as Device to Gateway.
Connection point mapping is defined in the Start Address block setting and comprises the connection point instance and a data offset. The instance must match that specified by the originator; the offset can be used to skip over data not required by the Gate- way, useful mainly on shared connection points.
