Chapter 1. EtherNet/IP Interface

1.1. Introduction

This section is intended to describe the EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP interfaces provided by the IO-Link
Master.

These interfaces provide the ability to retrieve port and device status information, input and output process
data and access to IO-Link device ISDU (SPDU) data blocks.

1.1.1. Functionality Summary

The EtherNet/IP interface consists of:

Input Process Data blocks that include:

-

Port communication status

-

PDI valid status

-

Auxiliary Input status (pin 2 of IO-Link connector)

-

The active event code (zero if no active event)

-

The input process data received from the port. This may be

• IO-Link mode: IO-Link device input process data

• I/O Input mode: Input bit status

• I/O Output mode: Output bit status (configurable option)
