A line of EtherNet/IP machine-mount I/O blocks and an IP 67 unmanaged switch have a low initial cost per point, says the vendor.
Fast and easy IP addressing is accomplished using BOOTP/DHCP, through an IP67 IP Address Plug (IPAP), via a pushbutton display (100 series only), or Web pages. Backlit for easy reading, an addressable display shows all the octets of the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address while push buttons allow for easy adjustment of any octet of the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. Detachable for rapid module replacement, the IP Address Plug (IPAP) stores the module’s addressing information in a convenient quick-disconnect unit. Certified by ODVA to ensure interoperability, these I/O blocks operate up to 100 Mbit/s speeds. The Ethernet cordset attachment point uses a rugged metal threaded M12 D-coded port.
