This document describes the method of manual protocol conversion from EtherNet/IP Adapter (Slave) to ASCII using the netTAP NT 40-EN-RS NT 40-RS-EN. It also provides a list of revisions and a disclaimer.
This manual describes the netTAP gateway that converts between EtherNet/IP (Adapter/Slave) and ASCII (RS‑232/RS‑422/RS‑485) protocols. It details the hardware interfaces, shared‑memory data exchange, and the four communication modes supported by the device.
The document includes a startup guideline, configuration tables, diagnostic information, example setups, and technical data such as memory size and parameter definitions, helping users install, program, and troubleshoot the gateway.
| Shared memory size | 240 bytes input, 240 bytes output |
|---|---|
| Interfaces | Ethernet interface and serial interface (RS‑232, RS‑422, RS‑485) |
The gateway includes an Ethernet interface and a serial interface that supports RS‑232, RS‑422, or RS‑485.
Data is exchanged via a shared memory of 240 bytes input and 240 bytes output.
