5.1.2 Specifications - EtherNet/IP
The EtherNet/IP driver allows multiple concurrent Class 1 Implicit I/O connections
for transferring data to a Logix based PAC. The module additionally allows for up
to 2 other Class 3 server connections for messaging to other devices.
Class 1 Implicit I/O server
The Class 1 Implicit connections to the PLC exchanges Input and Output data on
the time interval set by the connection RPI. The connection RPIs are set in the
processor program. Database tags mapped to the Class 1 Input and Output tabs
are exchanged with the processor on each RPI. The connection:
 Utilizes "Generic EtherNet/IP CIP Bridge" profile in RSLogix 5000 for
configuration as an I/O device with selectable RPI time.
 Supports up to 10 connections (PLX81) and 20 connections (PLX82) with a
maximum of 500 bytes of Input data and 496 bytes of output data per I/O
connection.
