CHAPTER 5:   
ETHERNET/IP
 
PROTOCOL 
The HS500E is designed to support many common Industrial Ethernet protocols and 
can be implemented in a wide variety of existing Host / PLC Industrial Ethernet 
applications. One such popular protocol that can be used to transfer data over 
Ethernet to and from the unit is Ethernet/IP (EIP). 
This chapter focuses on the process of setting up and configuring the HS500E to 
communicate (via Ethernet/IP) with a ControlLogix Programmable Logic Controller 
(PLC). Also in this chapter you will find a description of EMS’ HTML Server and 
OnDemand 
utility with step-by-step instructions to help you configure the HS500E for 
your Ethernet/IP environment. 
NOTE
This manual assumes that users are already familiar with communications protocols, 
industrial Ethernet principles and programmable logic controller technologies.  
For specific information regarding the protocol used by your particular RFID 
application, please refer to the appropriate documentation from your Host software 
program provider. 
What is Ethernet/IP? 
Built on the standard TCP/IP protocol suite, EtherNet/IP is a high-level application 
layer protocol for industrial automation applications that uses traditional Ethernet 
hardware and software to define an application layer protocol that structures the task 
of configuring, accessing and controlling industrial automation devices.  
Ethernet/IP classifies Ethernet nodes as predefined device types with specific 
behaviors. The set of device types and the EIP application layer protocol is based on 
the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) layer used in both DeviceNet and ControlNet. 
Building on these two widely used protocol suites, Ethernet/IP provides a seamlessly 
integrated system from the RFID Subnet network to the Host and enterprise networks.  
The HS500E is designed to communicate as an EtherNet/IP client device which will 
receive and execute RFID commands issued by the Host or PLC (acting as 
EtherNet/IP Server).
