EtherNet /IP

The EtherNet/IP protocol allows data sources such as

PLCs, Intelligent Field Devices (IFDs), variable-speed drives,

MCCs, and analyzers; as well as other devices communicating

EtherNet/IP to connect directly in to DeltaV via the EIOC.

The EtherNet/IP interface will support connections for

both implicit and explicit messaging to allow access to both

Class 1 and Class 3 EtherNet/IP I/O adapters. Redundancy with

EtherNet/IP Class 1 Implicit and Class 3 Explicit messaging

for control (sending outputs to the devices) require special

considerations due to exclusive owner communications defined

by the protocol. Please refer to the DeltaV System Planning

Guide for more information. Class 3 PCCC and UCMM with

Logix tags message classes are also supported.
