DeviceMaster EtherNet/IP™
The DeviceMaster EIP Gateway provides highly flexible EtherNet/IP connectivity to serial and Ethernet TCP/IP raw/ASCII devices.
The DeviceMaster EIP provides connectivity from a wide variety of EtherNet/IP controllers and applications to a vast array of serial and Ethernet TCP/IP raw/ASCII devices. With this gateway, you can connect virtually any EtherNet/IP based PLC, SCADA, HMI, OPC Server or other controller to ASCII interface barcode scanners, RFID readers, printers, encoders, weigh scales, vision systems and many others.

Highlights
- Connectivity – EtherNet/IP to serial and Ethernet TCP/IP raw/ASCII devices.
- Four methods of receive communication (to the PLC) —Class1, Write-to-Tag/File, Write-to-Tag/File-Synced, and Polling
- Two methods of transmit communication (from PLC) – Class1, PLC Writes (via MSG instruction)
- Maximum of 128 connections – TCP/IP and UDP
- Low-latency updates of received packets to PLC memory. Typically less than 10 ms in Write-to-Tag/File
- Connectivity to high-speed devices. Supports message rates as high as:
- 100 updates per second in Class1 receive mode
- 50 updates per second Write-to-Tag/File receive mode
- Large received packet support – up to 1518 bytes serial and 2048 bytes Ethernet TCP/IP
- Large Class 1 connection size – maximum of 14,264 bytes
- Received packet size control – truncate or drop oversized packets
- Message Throttling – ensures PLC can process each received data packet
- Intelligent packet identification – start and end of transmission character detection/appending
- Filtering – String filtering, Barcode and RFID filtering and data extraction
- DualConnectPlus technology – simultaneously connect PLCs and Ethernet TCP/IP applications to the serial and or Ethernet TCP/IP devices
- Advanced Embedded Web Pages:
- Configuration – Serial and Ethernet device interfaces, Network, EtherNet/IP stack, Security
- Diagnostics – Serial and Ethernet device statistics and logs, PLC diagnostics, System log
- System – Update firmware, Configuration file save/load, System Snapshot, Restore Defaults
- Vendor Specific CIP objects—configuration, data transfer, and statistics
