To use EtherNet/IP, the GatewayPro or DX83 Ethernet Bridge interface requires the user to enable the EtherNet/IP

interface, define the EtherNet/IP registers, and save the system configuration using the System > Setup > Config File

page.

3.3.1 Defining EtherNet/IP Registers to Send to the Buffer

Define the registers sent to the EtherNet/IP interface buffers.

On the System > Data > Local Registers tabs, select the EtherNet/IP checkbox for every register to be visible by

Ethernet/IP. After selecting the registers, click the Update button to save the changes on this configuration page.

For some SureCross devices, the EtherNet/IP checkbox may be enabled at the factory.

In the example screen shown, Node #1 Tank Alarm is mapped to EtherNet/IP buffer input 1, Node #1 Tank Level is

mapped to buffer input 2, and Node #1 Status is mapped to buffer input 3. Only local registers defined by the EIP

checkbox will be mapped to the EtherNet/IP buffer inputs.

After all selected inputs for device 1 are mapped to the EtherNet/IP buffer inputs, EIP selected inputs for the remaining

devices are mapped in the order of the device (e.g. device 1, device 2, device 3).
