Object Description
This object implements EtherNet/IP specific features in the host application. Note that this object must not be confused with the Ethernet Host Object, see Ethernet Host Object (F9h).
The implementation of this object is optional; the host application can support none, some, or all of the attributes specified below. The module will attempt to retrieve the values of these attributes during startup; if an attribute is not implemented in the host application, simply respond with an error message (06h, “Invalid CmdExt[0]”). In such case, the module will use its default value.
If the module attempts to retrieve a value of an attribute not listed below, respond with an error message (06h, “Invalid CmdExt[0]”).
Note that some of the commands used when accessing this object may require segmentation. For more information, see Message Segmentation.
If the module is configured to use EIP QuickConnect functionality, the EDS file has to be changed. As the EDS file is changed, the identity of the module has to be changed and the module will require certification.
