4.5 EtherNet/IP™ Network Adapter EPXEIP001
The EPXEIP001 Network Adapter is an EtherNet/IP™ participant developed according to IEC
61158. The adapter is the head module for the RSTi-EP system bus, to which up to 64 active
RSTi-EP modules can be connected. The EtherNet/IP adapter has two Ethernet ports, and
the integrated switch supports a line network structure.
The adapter can be accessed with a system-independent web server application via the USB
service interface or the Ethernet. Thus, all information, such as diagnostics, status values
and parameters, can be read and all connected modules can be simulated or forced.
The station’s main power supply is integrated in the adapter. Power is supplied via two 4-
pole connectors, separated into the input and output current paths.
