General

TIP:

See the general description for information about the following tabs of the device editor.

An additional separate help page for the relevant device editor is available only in the case of special features.

If the "<device name> Parameters" tab is not displayed, then select the Show generic device configuration editors option in the CODESYS options, in the Device editor category.

An Ethernet/IP Network consists of an Ethernet/IP Scanner and one or more Ethernet/IP Adapters. In this case, the scanner is the master in the network and the adapters are the slaves.

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.
