Functional Overview

The ProLinx EtherNet/IP (DFNT) driver can be used to interface many differentprotocols into the Rockwell Automation family of processors as well as othersoftware-based solutions. The DFNT driver supports Client connections as wellas Server connections. With the addition of the WEB hardware option, themodule also provides HTTP, FTP and Email capability.The Ethernet driver interfaces with a common internal database in the module.This permits the sharing of data across many different networks. RockwellAutomation processors supported on the TCP/IP network include ControlLogix,PLC5 Ethernet and SLC 5/05.The module also supports unconnected client through the UClient section.Unconnected messaging is a type of Ethernet/IP explicit message that usesTCP/IP implementation. Certain devices, such as the AB Power Monitor 3000series B, support unconnected messaging. Check your device documentation forfurther information about its Ethernet/IP implementation.The following illustration shows the functionality of the DFNT driver.
