ENET IP |
EtherNet/IP (EIP) | ENET IP is used for I/O communication between the weld timer and other EtherNet enabled devices (e.g. a Robot or PLC). It also can be used for updating timer software and maintenance functions. ENET IP includes a web page interface for robot pendants or browser enabled devices. |
ENET |
Standard EtherNet | ENET is used for standard EtherNet communications. It also can be used updating software and maintenance functions. ENET includes a web page interface for robot pendants or browser enabled devices. |

The WT6000 processor (weld timer) has four status LED's. Through a combination of changing colors and flashing/solid states, the LED's indicate the status of the EtherNet/IP Module, the EtherNet/IP Status, Weld Sequence Status and the Weld Control Status.
Below is an illustration and description of the LED's located on the WT6000 weld timer:
