AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide 193
EtherNet/IP Options
When EtherNet/IP is enabled, a new tab become available within AccuLazr
user interface that allow you to configure some additional options.
These parameters are described in more detail earlier in this manual, but a
quick overview provides some context here. (See Chapter 5.)
The Bar Code Data parameters allow you to manipulate the format of the
bar code data. Most notable if your bar codes only contain numeric digits,
you can configure the AL5010 to convert the bar codes to a numeric value
instead of transmitting them as ASCII text.
Additionally, you can enable the On-Demand Messaging Option for
ControlLogix Processors. This is described in more detail later in this
document.
If the EtherNet/IP Trigger Input is enabled, the AL5010 Trigger settings are
ignored and the AL5010 is triggered solely by manipulating the Trigger Bit in
the Output Word (contained in the AL5010 Assembly and Output Objects).
The AL5010 Outputs function the same as AL5010 relay outputs, but they
manipulate bits within the AL5010 Input Word (contained in the AL5010
Assembly and Input Objects).
The AL5010 can relinquish control of the internal AL5010 relays to another
EtherNet/IP device. When this has been done, these relays are controlled by
bits
within the Output Word.
