Requirements & Installation

Requirements

• Windows or Linux OS

• Correctly installed WinCC OA version

• Standard Ethernet hardware

• The usage requires a valid license!

Installation

A normal installation of WinCC OA version 3.11 SP1 or higher is sufficient for using the Ethernet/IP driver. See chapter Installation for more information on installing WinCC OA.

In earlier versions of the EIP driver, the MaxGap parameter was ignored for Logix-family PLCs. This is now used when grouping array-elements to specify the maximum gap of addresses before starting a new poll-block. The default value is 5.
