EIP4CCPU EtherNet/IP Scanner for Mitsubishi CCPU
Flexible and Powerful EtherNet/IP Scanner Application
The EIP4CCPU application is firmware that runs on the Mitsubishi Electric Q12DCCPU-V (CCPU), and effectively transforms the
CCPU into an EtherNet/IP scanner module. Once installed, the
application allows the CCPU to act as an EtherNet/IP scanner,
enabling one or more sequencing PLCs residing in the same rack
to control and monitor remote EtherNet/IP server devices.
The CCPU is a member of Mitsubishi Electric’s iQ Platform,
which unifies all of the Mitsubishi Electric automation disciplines
into a one-of-a-kind modular Programmable Automation Controller (PAC). Already capable of integrating individual sequence,
motion, CNC and robot control onto a single rack,
the EIP4CCPU application extends the iQ Platform
with the ability to control and coordinate a variety of
3rd-party EtherNet/IP devices.
Configuration of the scanner is performed entirely
over Ethernet via the EIP4CCPU Scanner Configuration Utility or Rockwell Automation’s RSNetWorx for
EtherNet/IP.
Features Include

•

Supports the following Ethernet-based automation protocols:

⇒

EtherNet/IP client (scanner) via class 1 I/O and class 3
explicit messaging

⇒
⇒
⇒

EtherNet/IP server (adapter) via class 3 explicit messaging
CSP (also known as PCCC or Allen Bradley Ethernet) client
CSP server

•
•

EIP4CCPU Scanner Configuration Utility can be installed on all 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows® operating systems.

•

Dynamic configuration: using RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP, configurations can be downloaded to the scanner and take
effect immediately without reboot.

•
•
•

Fully supports access to modular I/O devices such as FLEX I/O and POINT I/O from Allen-Bradley.

•
•

Acting as a class 3 server, the scanner provides access to device types on the paired sequencing PLC.

Device discovery wizard: the EIP4CCPU Scanner Configuration Utility can discover and configure the network settings of a
scanner regardless of whether or not its network parameters are compatible with the subnet upon which it resides.

Data is exchanged with up to 3 sequencing PLC’s via high-speed shared memory over the backplane.
Dynamic explicit messaging requests can be implemented by a sequencing PLC as a function block
(FB) using Structured Text programming language in GX Works2.
