This section describes how to configure the 140 NOC 78• 00 head module to act as an EtherNet/IP adapter, using a functionality called local slave. The head module supports up to 3 instances of local slaves.
In its role as a EtherNet/IP adapter, the module initiates no messages. Instead, it responds to:
implicit messaging requests from a scanner device in the network
explicit messaging requests—directed to the head module’s assembly object — from other devices on the network
NOTE: If no local slave instance is enabled, the head module can respond to explicit messaging requests directed at its CIP objects other than the assembly object.
(common industrial protocol) A comprehensive suite of messages and services for the collection of manufacturing automation applications (control, safety, synchronization, motion, configuration and information). CIP allows users to integrate these manufacturing applications with enterprise-level Ethernet networks and the internet. CIP is the core protocol of EtherNet/IP.
