IND780 Installation Manual
ControlNet and EtherNet IP
The IND780 supports ControlNet communications or EtherNet IP interface options
and the appropriate driver software.
DeviceNet
DeviceNet is an RS-485 based network using CAN chip technology. This network
was created for bit- and byte-level devices. The network can be configured to run
up to 500kbits per second depending on cabling and distances. Messages are
limited to 8 unfragmented bytes. The network can include up to 64 nodes
including the master, which is commonly called the scanner.

Modbus TCP

Modbus/TCP is used to establish master-slave/client-server communication
between intelligent devices. It is an open standard network protocol, widely used in
the industrial manufacturing environment. The ModbusTCP protocol takes the
Modbus instruction set and wraps TCP/IP around it. The Modbus TCP protocol is
supported by the Ethernet / IP interface board, version 1.32 or higher.
