CODESYS EtherNet/IP

An EtherNet/IP Network consists of an EtherNet/IP Scanner and one or more EtherNet/IP Adapters. The scanner is the master and the adapters are the slaves in the network.

The CODESYS runtime can act as either a scanner or an adapter.

CODESYS continues to differentiate between a remote adapter and a local adapter.

  • EtherNet/IP Remote Adapter: In CODESYS, a remote adapter is a device that you insert in the device tree of a project below an EtherNet/IP Scanner.

  • EtherNet/IP-Local Adapter: In CODESYS, a local adapter is a device which you insert in the device tree of a project directly below an Ethernet adapter (TCP) or Modbus port (COM). As a result, you can use the CODESYS runtime as an EtherNet/IP Adapter.
