Requirements and Conditions for the Use of EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal

This page describes the requirements and conditions in the following two subsections.

About Input/Output size

Data transmission size by EtherNet/IP slave terminal is 4 bytes larger than the Input/Output size of WINCAPSIII.

This 4 bytes is system-reserved data for the EtherNet/IP slave terminal, not available for users.

If you configure an EtherNet/IP slave terminal with master configurator, set the data size 4 bytes larger than the Input/Output data size of WINCAPSIII.

The following shows an example.

  WINCAPSIII setting Configurator setting
Input Size 32 byte 36 byte
Output Size 32 byte 36 byte

System-reserved data is assigned at the start of the input/output data. Viewing from the master, the first data of the EtherNet/IP slave terminal is 4 bytes later from the first data.

The following shows examples.

Output Data

Configuration without using EDS file

If you perform master configuration without using EDS file of EtherNet/IP slave terminal, you need to set the instance number. Enter the following numbers.

Instance Name Instance Number
Input 129
Output 130
