CNC to Controller Communication

Verify CNC to controller communication by observing the indicators on the CNC’s EtherNet/IP
communication module, and status from the CNC front panel display.

Observe the CNC’s communication module.
Refer to the user manual for the specific
model, and module location for your
application.

Typically the fast Ethernet board (that
supports EtherNet/IP) resides in slot 2.

The board is shown rotated 90 degrees
counterclockwise, in order to expose the status
indicators. This board is vertical in slot 2, and you will
have to view the status indicators at an angle to
determine their status.

The board incorporates four status indicators.
