The module EtherNet/IP sniffer decoder is available underneath the ibaM-EIP-S-1G module.

The EtherNet/IP sniffer decoder module is suitable for acquiring large amounts of digital signals that are present in the form of bytes, words, or double words in an EtherNet/IP network.

Basic

Module Type (information only)

Indicates the type of the current module.

Locked

You can lock a module to avoid unintentional or unauthorized changing of the module settings.

Enabled

Enable the module to record signals.

Name

You can enter a name for the module here.

Comment

You can enter a comment or description of the module here. This will be displayed as a tooltip in the signal tree.

Modul No.

This internal reference number of the module determines the order of the modules in the signal tree of ibaPDA client and ibaAnalyzer.

Timebase

All signals of the module are sampled on this timebase.

Use module name as prefix

This option puts the module name in front of the signal names.

Use the decoder name as a prefix

This option puts the decoder name in front of the signal name.
EtherNet/IP

Originator address

The IP address of the sender (originator) of the EtherNet/IP connection you want to measure. The originator is the one that initiates the connection. This usually is a PLC.

Target address

The IP address of the target of the EtherNet/IP connection you want to measure. The target is the one receiving a connection request. This is usually an I/O module.

Connection path

The connection path of the EtherNet/IP connection you want to measure. This uniquely identifies a connection between an originator and a target. If there is only a single connection between the originator and the target then the connection path is not required.

Profile

Select the CIP profile used for this connection:

  • CIP

  • CIP Motion (extension of CIP for highly dynamic drive and motion control)

Header size O->T

The size of the CIP real time format header. This determines the position of signal address 0 in the EtherNet/IP user data.

Header size T->O

The size of the CIP real time format header. This determines the position of signal address 0 in the EtherNet/IP user data.

RPI time O→T

RPI time O->T for asymmetric connections

RPI time T→O

RPI time T→O for asymmetric connections
