CHAPTER 5:
ETHERNET/IP PROTOCOL
The HS500E is designed to support many common Industrial Ethernet protocols and can be implemented in a wide variety of existing Host / PLC Industrial Ethernet applications. One such popular protocol that can be used to transfer data over Ethernet to and from the unit is Ethernet/IP (EIP).
This chapter focuses on the process of setting up and configuring the HS500E to communicate (via Ethernet/IP) with a ControlLogix Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Also in this chapter you will find a description of EMS’ HTML Server and OnDemand utility with
NOTE:
This manual assumes that users are already familiar with communications protocols, industrial Ethernet principles and programmable logic controller technologies.
For specific information regarding the protocol used by your particular RFID application, please refer to the appropriate documentation from your Host software program provider.
What is Ethernet/IP?
Built on the standard TCP/IP protocol suite, EtherNet/IP is a
Ethernet/IP classifies Ethernet nodes as predefined device types with specific behaviors. The set of device types and the EIP application layer protocol is based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) layer used in both DeviceNet and ControlNet. Building on these two widely used protocol suites, Ethernet/IP provides a seamlessly integrated system from the RFID Subnet network to the Host and enterprise networks.
The HS500E is designed to communicate as an EtherNet/IP client device which will receive and execute RFID commands issued by the Host or PLC (acting as EtherNet/IP Server).
ATTENTION: for information regarding the Object Model implemented in the HS500E, see Appendix C.
