1 Introduction
1.1 About this Training Manual
This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to commission
and configure an EtherNet/IP Scanner (master) by using the SYCON.net
configuration software. How to read input data and how to write output data
by using the I/O monitor is described for the SYCON.net configuration
software and the cifX Test auxiliary tool.
The procedures are exemplified by using a cifX PC card. They can,
however, also be applied to the comX and netJACK communication
modules.
1.2 Required Hardware and Software
Prerequisite for the described commissioning and configuration example is
a proper installation of all necessary hardware and software components.
For the example given in this document, you need the following
components:
Hardware
•1 x PC with standard equipment: monitor, keyboard, mouse, DVD drive,
PCI slot
•1 x CIFX 50-RE acting as Real-Time Ethernet master (requires master
license)
•1 x NXIO 50-RE Real-Time Ethernet slave with power supply unit
•1 x CIFX 50-RE acting as Real-Time Ethernet slave
•2 x Ethernet cable (CAT5)
Software
•SYCON.net configuration software
•Driver for cifX PC card (cifX Device Driver)
•Auxiliary tools cifX Test and cifX Setup (included in the cifX Device
Driver installation)
•Ethernet Device Configuration (included in the SYCON.net installation)
For details about how to install the necessary hardware and software
components, please refer to the user manual of the respective product.
