Anybus® Communicator - EtherNet/IP to Modbus RTU/Serial

I/O Data Map

Figure 68. I/O data map page
I/O data map page


On the I/O data map page the data communication between the subnetwork (Node) and the high level network (PLC) is mapped.

The allocated I/O area is auto-generated based on how the settings on the Serial communication page and the Nodes and transactions page are configured.

It is possible to set the I/O area manually, if you want to pro-actively allocate more I/O for future expansions without re-configuring the PLC. See To Configure I/O Sizes Manually.

There are three areas: Data from EtherNet/IP, Data to EtherNet/IPand General area. See Map Area.
