EtherNet/IP Overview

Industrial Ethernet communication networks continue to gain global importance in
automation solutions. Industrial Ethernet connectivity down to device level
components (i.e. drives, I/O, etc.) is an end user requirement that demands
openness and flexibility. To capitalize on the flexibility to connect to different
Industrial Ethernet protocols the SINAMICS G120 can seamlessly be applied in
PROFINET and EtherNet/IP networks.

SINAMICS G series Connectivity to EtherNet/IP

The SINAMICS drive family offers both PROFINET and EtherNet/IP software
stacks for the SINAMICS G series which is easily selected via a parameter setting
in the standard SINAMICS firmware.
The network IP address of the SINAMICS G drive can be set through the
STARTER software. With STARTER software installed on your computer you can
connect to the SINAMICS drive through PROFINET or EtherNet/IP.
The SINAMICS drives operate on unicast telegrams which reduces network traffic.
SINAMICS G drives have been certified by ODVA for EtherNet/IP conformance
testing and participated in the EtherNet/IP PlugFest. Siemens is a member of
ODVA with Vendor ID # 1251.
