ENI and ENIW Functional
Overview

The ENI and ENIW provide EtherNet/IP connectivity for RS-232
devices that use DF1 full-duplex protocol. DF1 full-duplex is an open,
point-to-point protocol used in any Allen-Bradley controller with an
RS-232 port, and in many other devices. DF1 full-duplex supports up
to 255 node addresses. The ENI and ENIW use these node addresses
for different functions.

The ENI and ENIW use a memory (node) map to provide access to
the different functions you can perform. Each function uses a different
group of node addresses. The following table illustrates the ENI and
ENIW functions by groups of node numbers:

General Ethernet
Information

Each Ethernet device requires a unique IP address. If your Ethernet
network is isolated from the company-wide network, any valid IP
address may be used. If your Ethernet hub is connected to a larger
Ethernet network, contact your System Administrator for unique IP
addresses.
