EtherNet/IP has been added as an optional communication protocol for the SMVector Drive.
The AC drive can seamlessly operate on an EtherNet/IP network with the
addition of a simple plug-in communication module, says the vendor.
EtherNet/IP joins other network protocols also available as optional
modules for the SMVector Drive, including CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus
and Modbus RS-485. As a member of the DeviceNet and ControlNet family
known as Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) developed by Rockwell
Automation, EtherNet/IP can use the same set of pre-defined common
objects, thus making communication between devices from different
manufacturers much easier. The SMVector Drive vendor worked with
Rockwell engineers to ensure complete product compatibility.Lenze-AC Techwww.lenze-actech.com508.278.9100
