Attach device

The Ethernet interface must be added to the variTRON that is to be used as a scanner via the context menu of the CPU and the Add Device... menu item. The Ethernet/IP scanner is then added via the Add Device... menu item in the context menu of the Ethernet device.

After the EtherNet/IP scanner has been attached, the JUMO device that was installed in the First chapter appears as an adapter.

Connect the CODEYS Development System to the CPU by entering and activating the address of the target device in the Communication area.

The network interface via which the EtherNet/IP communication is to run can now be selected in Ethernet.

All Adapters are listed in the tree structure under EtherNet/IP_Scanner. The variTRON device as well. Under General, the IP address of the variTRON must now be entered. Under Compatibility check, CODESYS can check whether the scanner is connected to the correct adapter (can also be deactivated as an option).

The channels can be mapped by the adapter under EtherNet/IP I/O mapping. Values from the output channels come from the adapter and can be read by the scanner. Values from the input channels are written by the scanner and can be read by the adapter.
