SINAMICS DCM supports the communication with the fieldbus EtherNet Industrial Protocol
(EtherNet/IP or also EIP). EtherNet/IP is an open standard based on Ethernet, which is
predominantly used in the automation industry. EtherNet/IP is supported by the Open
DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA).
For communication with EtherNet/IP, a CBE20 Communication Board Ethernet is required.
By setting p8835 = 4, you can choose the communication profile EtherNet/IP. After POWER
ON, the profile becomes active.
Connection of SINAMICS DCM with EtherNet/IP to Ethernet networks
The SINAMICS DC MASTER version with option G20/G21 (CBE20 Communication Board
Ethernet left/right) is required for the connection to EtherNet/IP. See Chapter "Ordering
