iR-ETN EtherNetIP Connection Guide
Overview
iR-ETN/iR-ETN40R firmware supports EtherNet/IP protocol. In EasyRemote IO software, the
description file (EDS) for EtherNet/IP devices can be generated. By scanning the iR-ETN/iR-ETN40R
devices in EasyRemote IO software, the EDS file can be generated according to the current I/O
configuration. The EDS file can then be imported by PLC or EtherNet/IP Scanner devices to complete
configuration with minimal effort.
