2 Safety

2.1. Intended use This guide describes The BNI EIP-… serves as a decentralized IO Link, input and output
module for connecting to an EtherNet/IP™ network.

2.2. General safety Installation and startup are to be performed only by trained specialists. Any damage
notes resulting from unauthorized manipulation or improper use voids the manufacturer’s
guarantee and warranty.
The device is in accordance with EMC Class A. Such equipment may generate RF noise.
The operator must take precautionary measures accordingly.
The device must be powered only using an approved power supply (see chapter 4
“Technical data”). Only approved cable may be used.

Operating and testing

The operator is responsible for observing local prevailing safety regulations.
When defects and non-clearable faults in the device occur, take it out of service and secure
against unauthorized use.
Approved use in ensured only when the housing is fully installed.

2.3. Meaning of the Note!

warnings The pictogram used with word ”Caution“ warns of a possible hazardous situation
affecting the health of persons or equipment damage. Ignoring these warnings can
result in injury or equipment damage.
Always observe the described measures for preventing this danger.

7.1. General With the implemented display, the address is set directly on the BNI EIP… devices.
The following address types are implemented:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway address.
Each address type consists of 4 octets.
Additional the display shows information about the hard- and firmwarerevision.
There is a lock function fort he display which can be activated out of the control system. If
the lock is set editing isn’t possible anymore (see Bit layout, chapter 8 „Appendix“).

• Long-time keypress on arrow key uses fast program mode
• Shorttime keypress on set key saves entered value and scrolls to the next octet.
The 4.octet is the start of editing
• The whole entered address gets saved by short keypress on set value when
editing first octet. The entered value can immediately seen on the ip overview
screen.
• Manual changes of ip, subnet or gateway results in automatic change to “static” in
IP Setup.
Hinweis:
To work with the new configuration the module needs a power-down
reset.

• By short-time keypress on arrow key you can scroll through module information
menu.
• Informations are the product name, the module revisions and the MacID.

7.11. General • Longtime keypress for „fast scrolling“ in editing mode

Informations • 10 secondes without keypress results in leaving actual screen and entering the
th
default screen mode (4 octet of ip address). Unsaved changes gets lost
• Differences between new configuration and the configuration the module is working
with are shown by a unequal-symbol. In this case the time to default screen is only
5 seconds.
• In editing mode the screen flashes. In fast scroll mode the screen is flickering
• If the module receives a single ping, the word “ping” is shown in the display screen
for a few seconds. Afterwards the screen is reset to the screen which had been
shown before. By short-time key press on set key the ping-mode can be left
preterm.
• If the module receives a double ping, the word “ping” is shown in the display. This
screen can be left only by short-time key press on set key. The screen shown
before ping gets viewed again.
• The Led function at the display leds can be defined user specific ba setting some
bits in the process data inputs. (see Bitlayout, chapter 8 „Annex“)
• The function plc-lock can also be used by setting a bit in the process data inputs.
(see Bitlayout, chapter 8 „Annex“)

Hinweis:
Editing mode can not be chosen in display if the plc lock bit in process
data inputs is (see Bitlayout, chapter 8 „Annex“)

8 Webserver

8.1. General The BNI EIP-502 module includes an internal webserver to get detailed information about
the current state. Also you can use it to configurate the module and the connected IO Link
devices.
First make sure that a correct integration into your network has been done. To get a
connection to the webserver enter the IP address of the module to your browser address
bar. A welcome page with a list of all Balluff Ethernet Network-interfaces is shown.
Please use Internet Explorer 7 or 8. Other Browsers might not function correctly at the
current development state.

8.2. Home By click on “play”-button “Home” active.

You can get some information about the configuration and network-activity of the module.
At the top of the window you can see the navigation bar which allows you to switch between
the different webpages, just click on the corresponding text.

8.3. Diagnostic On this page you can get some information about the module’s current process data by
Process having a look at the leds.
If a IO Link Device is connected to on of the IO Link ports some device data is shown
besides the modul. You can use this text or the port on the module as a link to “Device
properties”.

8.4. Device Properties On this page you can get information about the IO Link device that is connected on the
selected port. Also it is possible to configure the device by using the read/write functions.
The indices and subindices which can be written or read are defined by the connected
device. So for this reason have a look at the IO Link device manual.

8.5. Diagnostic On this page you can see the current module and network status like you can see it on the
Module module itself.

8.6. Configurations The configuration page allows you to configure the module. You can change network-
parameters and also assign own module information texts like a module description.
This can only be used by entering a username and a password:
Username: Balluff
Password: BNIEIP
