Hi,
I want to know more about Industrial ethernet that uses UDP. I know something about ethernet and UDP/TCP protocols.
I need to know how a PLC can address devices that uses this protocol ?
In PROFIBUS a gsd file is used to specify addresses to registers on the slave device, so that a PLC can address the device correctly. A similar setup (hardware based ) is used in MODBUS.
But how can a PLC determine which registers to access using industrial ethernet via UDP ??
Is there any setup file etc for this ?? or will the user set the commands manually on the PLC ??
thanks
