Getting Started

The EtherNet/IP-to-SCANport module features the following:

• The module is an external module only. It requires DC power from

either an appropriate DC power source or AC-to-DC converter.
Connectors for both are provided.

• A number of configuration tools can be used to configure the module

and connected drive. These include drive-configuration software tools
such as DriveExplorer (version 4.03 or higher) or DriveExecutive
(version 3.01 or higher). In addition, you can use a BOOTP server to
configure some of the network features on the module (for example,
the IP address).

• Status indicators report the status of the drive, module, and network.

• I/O, including Logic Command/Reference and up to four pairs of

Datalinks, may be configured for your application using parameters.

• Explicit messages (parameter read/write, etc.) are supported.

• Master-Slave and/or Peer-to-Peer hierarchies can be set up so that the

module and connected SCANport drive transmit data to and from a
scanner and/or another SCANport drive on the network.

• User-defined fault actions determine how the module and SCANport

drive respond to communication disruptions on the network.

• Each module has Web pages that display information about the

module and the connected drive.

• The module can be configured to send e-mail messages to desired

addresses when selected drive faults occur and/or are cleared, and/or
when the module takes a communication or idle fault action.
