About This Manual
This manual provides information needed to install
and use the Rice Lake Weighing Systems EtherNet/
IP
™
1
Interface. The EtherNet/IP Interface allows
520
,
720i
® ,
820i
® , and
920i
® indicators to communicate
with an EtherNet/IP network.
See the
520 , 720i , 820i , or 920i Installation Manual
for additional installation information and detailed
descriptions of indicator functions.
The EtherNet/IP Interface is installed inside the
indicator enclosure. Installation in NEMA 4X
stainless steel enclosures permits use in washdown
environments.
Warning

1.0 Introduction
EtherNet/IP (“Ethernet Industrial Protocol”) is an open industrial networking standard that allows control
applications to make use of widely-available Ethernet communications components and physical media.
EtherNet/IP is based on the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard, the TCP/IP protocol suite, and CIP
™ (Common
Industrial Protocol), the real-time I/O and information protocol used by both DeviceNet ™
2
and ControlNet ™
3
networks.
The EtherNet/IP Interface returns weight and status information from a
520 , 720i , 820i or 920i indicator to the
network and provides limited control of indicator functions to the programmer. Indicator configuration and
calibration cannot be performed through the EtherNet/IP Interface.
