Section 1 Introduction

OverviewThe Industrial Ethernet Protocol (EtherNet/IP) is the combination of traditional Ethernet and an industrial application layer protocol, called the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). EtherNet/IP is used in industrial automation applications.

DeviceNet is a low-level industrial application layer protocol, based on Common Industrial Protocol, for industrial automation applications. DeviceNet is built on the standard Controller Area Network (CAN).

Both EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet have several features in common with CIP. Both serve as communication networks between industrial controllers and I/O devices.

CI873 Communication Interface Module

EtherNet/IP interfaces with the AC 800M controller, through the CI873 communication interface module. CI873 acts as an EtherNet/IP scanner class device. It originates connections to EtherNet/IP enabled devices and exchanges real time I/O data with them.

The CI873 communication interface provides the following functionalities:

• Configuration of EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices.

• CI873 as EtherNet/IP scanner.

• I/O communication with DeviceNet slave devices through Class 1 connection to LD 800DN.

• Status supervision of devices.

• Hot swap of CI873, LD 800DN and DeviceNet devices.

• System command to change the Run/Idle state of the LD 800DN.

• CI873 Scanner diagnostics.

• LD 800DN Scanner diagnostics.

• CI873 Firmware Upgrade.

• Online upgrade for CI873 Firmware.

Linking Device LD 800DN

The linking device LD 800DN functions as an EtherNet/IP target on the EtherNet network. It acts as a gateway device by forwarding the content of the messages from EtherNet/IP networks to DeviceNet networks and vice-versa, without acting on the content of the messages.

The LD 800DN Linking device acts as the DeviceNet Master in the DeviceNet network, allowing connectivity to 63 DeviceNet slave devices.

Device Import Wizard

For configuring EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices using Control Builder, the Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file of the device is required. The EDS file is a specially formatted ASCII file of the device, defining its characteristics. The device vendor provides this file, to allow access to device configuration parameters. The Device Import Wizard, an integrated component of the Control Builder, allows importing of such EDS files into the hardware library.

The Device Import Wizard essentially converts the device description files (EDS files) of EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices into hardware unit types. These unit types are then instantiated in the Hardware tree of Control Builder.

The configuration of the CI873 communication interface, linking devices, EtherNet/IP devices and DeviceNet devices are done through the Control Builder. Figure 1 illustrates a possible system configuration scenario.

Protocol User InterfaceProtocol User Interface describes the user interface for the protocol, such as hardware units and their configuration parameters, status, alarms, and events.

Hardware Tree

The Hardware Tree is a hierarchical representation of information in the Control Builder. For each controller in the system, the configuration is specified with additional hardware, such as the I/O modules and communication interfaces it is

Hardware Tree Section 2 Functional Description

22 9ARD000014-510 A

equipped with. Further configuration information can be provided in other levels of the hardware tree.

Figure 2 shows the typical hardware tree for CI873, depicting the DeviceNet device unit types imported into hardware library using EDS files. The AC 800M along with CI873 represents an EtherNet/IP scanner which originates the CIP connections. All the devices configured under CI873 represent targets to which the scanner establishes the connections. Each device is represented with one hardware unit which contains the configuration related parameters to be downloaded to the device. The hardware unit also contains connection related parameters to establish connections to the device, and I/O channels to view the I/O data.

The CI873EthernetIPHWLib contains the hardware units for CI873, CI873 Diagnostics, LD 800DN linking device, and LD 800DN diagnostics.

Before importing the EDS files of DeviceNet and I/O devices, the user needs to manually create a hardware library if it does not exist. The user can then import the EDS files into the newly created library. On successful import of EDS file, the hardware types for the corresponding devices are created in the user created library.

CI873 General Constraints Section 2 Functional Description

24 9ARD000014-510 A

CI873 General Constraints

The CI873 hardware object contains the configuration parameters and the device specific status information.

Number of Linking Devices

CI873 for EtherNet/IP supports up to four Linking Devices, connected to it.

Number of DeviceNet Devices

The CI873 for EtherNet/IP supports up to 63 DeviceNet devices or 496 bytes per Linking Device, according to the DeviceNet specification.

EtherNet/IP Communication

All connections between the CI873 EtherNet/IP scanner and the EtherNet/IP targets (like LD 800DN linking devices) can be categorized as I/O connections (also called, implicit connections).

Implicit messaging connections are used for real time I/O data transfer and is transmitted via UDP.

Unconnected explicit messaging is used for configuration. It is transmitted over a TCP connection.

Requested Packet Interval (RPI) is the requested time interval between packets in case of Implicit communication for I/O data transfer. The T -> O RPI parameter on the EtherNet/IP target allows the user to configure the time interval between packets received by CI873 scanner from target.

Figure 3 is a snapshot of the Hardware Editor of LD 800DN showing RPI parameters.

T -> O RPI value should suit the requirement of the application. The lowest value configurable to this parameter is 10ms, which results in the fastest possible communication.

Section 2 Functional Description Automatic Device Recovery

9ARD000014-510 A 25

Consider the case of LD 800DN linking device, where T -> O RPI is set to 10ms. The time out multiplier is preset at 16 (not configurable by user). The Time Out value is derived from the following formula:

Time Out value = T -> O RPI * Time Out Multiplier = 160ms.

So, if the CI873 scanner does not receive any packets from LD 800DN for a period defined by the Time Out Value (here, 160ms) then the Implicit messaging connection to LD 800DN times out and no I/O data from DeviceNet slaves are updated to IEC 1131 application, but instead will have ISP values.

Automatic Device RecoveryAutomatic Device Recovery (ADR) is a feature of the LD 800DN linking device. This feature allows a DeviceNet slave node to be replaced with another device of the same type.

In this feature, if a DeviceNet slave device drops off the network due to fault or power loss, and is replaced with another device of the same type, then LD 800DN automatically configures the new device (the replacement) to the value set in the Control Builder.

The ADR feature consists of Address Recovery and Configuration Recovery.

Address Recovery automatically sets the address of the new slave device to that of the slave device which has lost communication, provided the new device is inserted at the same MAC ID as the previous device or at MAC ID 63. Address Recovery is enabled by enabling the ADR parameter of the LD 800DN.

Configuration Recovery automatically configures the new slave device to the settings of the salve device it replaces. For enabling Configuration Recovery, both

Status Handling for CI873 Section 2 Functional Description

26 9ARD000014-510 A

the ADR parameter of the LD 800DN and the Config Recovery parameter of the associated DeviceNet device should be enabled.

When a DeviceNet slave is replaced with a new one, the linking device LD 800DN checks the identity of the new device before performing any operation. The extent of check done depends on the Electronic Key parameters enabled. For more details on the Electronic Key parameters, refer to Electronic Key Parameters on page 80.

For more details on ADR, refer Automatic Device Recovery on page 133.

For details on the ADR parameter, refer Configuring LD 800DN Linking Device Unit on page 68.

For details on the parameter for Configuration Recovery, refer Configuring a DeviceNet Slave Device Unit on page 78.

Hot Swap of LD 800DN Section 2 Functional Description

32 9ARD000014-510 A

Hot Swap of LD 800DN

LD 800DN devices supports hot swap. Faulty units can be replaced online, without disturbing the communication between CI873 and other LD 800DN devices.

After the hot insertion, CI873 configures the linking device automatically.

Hot Swap of DeviceNet DevicesHot swap of DeviceNet devices is supported through the Automatic Device Recovery (ADR) feature of the LD 800DN linking device. Faulty units can be replaced online without disturbing the communication with other DeviceNet slaves in the network. For more details, refer Automatic Device Recovery on page 25.

The time taken by CI873 to restart and configure itself, after hot insert, is dependent on the number of devices configured under CI873. The maximum time taken by CI873 for boot-up is 3 minutes. The CI873 takes some additional time to configure and establish communication (EtherNet/IP Communication) with the devices configured under it.

In cases where the target device is not responding or is not available in the network, every single configuration request to the unavailable device will time-out after 11 seconds.

The error/status that is displayed in the Unit Status of CI873 /alarm list until the CI873 boots-up and configures itself, is Waiting for Hardware Initialization. During the time this error is displayed, there will not be any I/O value update to the application.

7. Browse and select the File Name of the EDS file to be converted.

8. After selecting the EDS file, click Next. The Device Import Wizard appears as shown in Figure 6.

The EDS file to be selected, depends on whether the user wants to import a modular or non-modular file. For modular file import, ensure that the adapter's EDS file is selected first.

Figure 6. Device Import Wizard Welcome Dialog

If loading of EDS file fails, then the following error message is displayed.

DLL Load Error - An error occurred when the EtherNet/IP parser DLL was loaded. The reason can be that the DLL is not properly registered or has been removed from the disk.

Please install the product again to repair this error.

Click OK. Then, click Cancel to exit from the import process. Repeat the preceding steps to re-attempt the loading of the EDS file. If the loading fails again, the user needs to install Control Builder again.


36 9ARD000014-510 A

9. Click Next to proceed with the wizard. The Device Import Wizard parses the imported EDS file and identifies the corresponding Device type. Depending on the type of device, either of the following options are enabled:

– General Purpose Device (Non-Modular I/O System).

– Modular I/O System.

a. General Purpose Device (Non-Modular I/O System).

For Non-Modular I/O systems, General Purpose Device is enabled, and Browse is disabled, as shown in Figure 7. Click Next to proceed to Step 10.

The EDS file initially selected by the user in Step 7, decides whether the General Purpose Device or the Modular I/O System option is enabled. If the EDS file is an adapter's file, then Modular I/O System is enabled. If the EDS file belongs to a non-modular I/O device, then General Purpose Device is enabled.

Figure 7. General Purpose Device is Enabled


9ARD000014-510 A 37

b. Modular I/O System.

For Modular I/O System devices, Browse is enabled as shown in Figure 8.

From the import wizard, click Browse. A File Open dialogue is displayed as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 8. For Modular I/O System with Browse enabled


38 9ARD000014-510 A

For Modular I/O system, select the adapter’s EDS file along with the EDS files of all the I/O modules, and click Open.

Figure 9. Multiple file selection dialog

In case the user is performing a re-import of a Modular I/O EDS file, select the required adapter file during re-import. A Modular I/O re-import can be done by selecting the adapter file alone, as the adapter file holds all the references to I/O modules.

If a user attempts importing an adapter consecutively from two different folders under the same hardware library, then the import is blocked and the following message is displayed:

An adapter of the similar name from a folder <folder_name> other than the current folder has been imported. Please select the adapter from the earlier imported folder or change the name of the current adapter's eds being imported and try again.


9ARD000014-510 A 39

10. In the Device Import Wizard, click Next. The File and Device Information window is displayed. For information on the settings to be made in this window, refer to File and Device Information on page 41.

11. Click Next from the File and Device Information window. The I/O Settings window is displayed. For information on the settings to be made in this window, refer to I/O Settings on page 46.

12. Click Next from the I/O Settings window. The Device Import Wizard screen appears with a Comment section as shown in Figure 10.

In the Comments section, the user can edit or add required comments. These comments appear in the HWD file.

40 9ARD000014-510 A

13. Click Next and view the results of the conversion, as shown in Figure 11.

Conversion Results section lists warnings or minor errors which may have occurred during file conversion/import. For instance, illegal characters (characters that do not fall within the 0-127 ASCI range) are replaced with an underscore, and the HWD file is created.

Click View/Print HWD to view and print the generated HWD file.

14. Click Finish to exit the Device Import Wizard. The *.hwd file is added in the hardware library.

Figure 11. Conversion Results

When re-importing an EDS file, the Device Import Wizard tries to match the name of the EDS file with the names of the previously imported EDS files. If a match is found then the Device Import Wizard considers this as a re-import. If no match is found, then Device Import Wizard considers this as a fresh import instead. Hence, re-importing of an EDS file is not possible if the user renames the EDS file and then tries to re-import it

Section 3 Device Import Wizard File and Device Information

9ARD000014-510 A 41

File and Device InformationThe EDS File Import - File and Device Information screen is displayed after the EDS file has been selected through the Device Import Wizard.

The File and Device Information screen consists of the following two tabs:

• Device (see Device on page 41).• File (see File on page 45).

Device

The Device tab displays the device information of the EDS file being imported. Figure 12 shows the Device tab as displayed for a non-modular I/O. Figure 13 shows the Device tab as displayed for a modular I/O.

The Device tab has a tree view on the left hand side. The tree view displays devices by their product names or catalog numbers, depending on whether the user has chosen Catalog number (Figure 14) or Product name (Figure 12 and Figure 13) option.

Consider a modular re-import scenario, wherein the user de-selects certain I/O modules and imports only a subset of the modules currently available under the adapter. Here the adapter gets modified and the de-selected modules will no longer be available under the adapter (though they appear in the same hardware library as they have not been physically deleted). Hence only the I/O modules being included in the most recent import of the adapter will be available for configuration under the adapter.

Click View EDS File to view the contents of EDS file in the EDS Viewer, as shown in Figure 16.

Figure 15. File and Device Information - File Tab

In case the user is performing a Modular Re-import of an I/O EDS file by selecting the adapter file alone, then View EDS File for the I/O modules is disabled, as the I/O modules are not selected during the import process.

I/O Settings Section 3 Device Import Wizard

46 9ARD000014-510 A

The EDS Viewer has the following features:

• Displays the EDS file path.

• Displays the EDS file’s contents.

• Go to line and Find features, which allow search operations within the content.

I/O Settings The I/O Settings window is used to assign conversion rules for the input and output area. Based on the conversion rule assigned for the input and output area, the input and output channels are created.

In certain cases, the assembly definition in the respective EDS file(s), provides the necessary information regarding creation of channels. In such cases the input and output channels may get configured prior to entering the I/O Settings window.

The I/O Settings window for a Non-Modular I/O system is shown in Figure 17.

Figure 16. EDS Viewer

Section 3 Device Import Wizard I/O Settings

9ARD000014-510 A 47

The I/O Settings window for Modular I/O system is displayed as shown in Figure 18.

Figure 17. I/O Settings for a Non-Modular System

I/O Settings Section 3 Device Import Wizard

48 9ARD000014-510 A

The I/O Settings window has a tree view on the left hand side. The tree view displays product names or catalog numbers depending on whether the user has chosen Catalog number or Product name option in the File and Device Information window.

Under each product name/catalog number in the tree view, one or more of the following trigger types is/are listed:

• Strobe - Multi-cast message starts the scan cycle. Strobe-able slaves respond, based on their latency.

Figure 18. I/O Settings for a Modular I/O System

Section 3 Device Import Wizard I/O Settings

9ARD000014-510 A 49

• Poll - The Master queries each sensor/actuator according to the polling list. Polls are sent out even as strobe responses are being received, as much as bandwidth allows.

• COS - A device reports its data only when there is a change. This is considered more efficient since only data changes are transmitted. It can be used along with Poll or Strobe.

• Cyclic - Devices report data on a user-configured, time-increment basis (input or output). Cyclic data production is considered more efficient for applications with slowly changing analog I/O.

The tree view has check mark icons beside the product names/catalog numbers and the trigger types. The color of a check mark icon indicates the following:

• Green - Indicates that the complete I/O area of this specific connection has already been assigned to I/O channels.

• Orange - Indicates that some, but not all, of the I/O channels have been created.

Input area and Output area displays the number of bytes of I/O data available for the selected connection in the input and output area, respectively.

The input and output area bytes are defined for each device in the respective EDS files. The following are the supported standard conversion rules:

• 1 Byte to 8 Bool.

• 1 Byte to 1 DInt.

• 2 Byte to 1 DInt unsigned.

• 4 Byte to 1 DInt.

• 1 Byte to 1 DWord.

• 4 Byte to 1 Real.

• 1 Byte to 1 DInt signed.

• 2 Byte to 1 DInt signed.

• 4 Byte to 1 DWord.

For DeviceNet modules, the user should avoid selecting COS and Cyclic modes simultaneously, as this is not allowed on DeviceNet networks.

Creating I/O Channels Section 3 Device Import Wizard

50 9ARD000014-510 A

Creating I/O Channels

I/O channel creation can happen in the following ways:

• Automatic channel creation - Execute the following steps to create I/O channels through automatic conversion:

a. Select the required connection in the tree view. The corresponding details are displayed in the right hand section of the window.

b. Click Standard rule Byte Mapping. The EDS Byte drop-down list is enabled.

c. Select the required conversion rule and click Apply. The I/O channels are created.

Example for I/O channel creation using automatic conversion - If the default input area is 4 bytes and output area is 2 bytes, and the conversion rule selected is 1 Byte to 8 Bool, then:

4 x 8 = 32 Input channels

2 x 8 = 16 Output channels

Total 32 + 16 = 48 channels are created

• Manual channel creation - Execute the following steps to create I/O channels through manual conversion:

a. Select the required connection in the tree view. The corresponding details are displayed in the right hand section of the window.

b. Enable Manual Bit Mapping. This in turn enables Customize Input and View and Customize Output and View.

c. Depending on the requirement, click Customize Input and View and/or Customize Output and View.

If the I/O connection has only input area, then only Customize Input and View is enabled. If the I/O connection has only output area, then only Customize Output and View is enabled. If the I/O connection has both input and output area, then both buttons are enabled.

If the number of bytes, as per the rule chosen by the user, are unavailable then the wizard does not create any channels of the data type chosen.

Section 3 Device Import Wizard Customizing Input and Output for Digital Channels

52 9ARD000014-510 A

The Input Area section displays the I/O channels available for the selected connection. For example, if the connection has 4 bytes of input area, then 4 rows of channel slots are displayed with bits. I/O channels are created based on the number of bytes defined for each connection in the EDS file.

The Configured Channels tabular section has following details of the I/O channels defined:

• Byte, bit - Displays the starting byte and bit of the I/O channel.

• Length - Displays the number of bits for each I/O channel.

• Name - Displays the name of each I/O channel.

• Data type conversion - Displays the channel’s data type and the corresponding copy routine function which is generated in the hardware definition file for each I/O channel.

• Features - Displays the specific features or properties of the I/O channel.

From the Input Area Configuration, in digital channels, double-click the Features or Data type conversion column to bring up the Advanced Settings window, as shown in Figure 20.

Figure 24. Output Area Configuration for Poll trigger type(Analog Output Channels - Modular I/O Import)


58 9ARD000014-510 A

details on specifying the Signal Range Parameters for a channel, refer Specifying Status and Signal Range Parameters for Channels on page 59.

Scaling for DeviceNet Devices

Scaling is handled in the following ways for DeviceNet devices:

• For each of the trigger type that is supported by the device, the assembly being referenced in the input/output area is scanned for the presence of scaling parameter.

• The information of the scanned parameter is then used as the scaling parameter for all the channels that are created from that particular assembly.

• The scaling is done for both the input and output channels.

Figure 25. Advanced Settings for an Analog Output channel


9ARD000014-510 A 59

Specifying Status and Signal Range Parameters for Channels

The Status parameters and Signal Range parameters are set in the Advanced settings with status window, while configuring input and output areas for analog and digital channels.

For digital channels, only Status parameters can be defined. For analog channels input area configuration, both Status and Signal Range parameters can be defined. For analog channels output area configuration, only Signal Range parameters can be defined.

Status Parameter

Status Parameter is set by defining a status bit for a channel. This status bit indicates the status of the channel – whether the channel data is in correct or in corrupted state. The status bit hence determines whether or not the channel data is fit to be transferred from the controller to the application.

For a particular connection type, the user can select the status bit for a parameter from the available input/output bits only. The user selects the status bit for a particular channel according to the instructions present in the Device manual. If a bit is selected as a status bit for a particular channel, then the bit cannot be used again for channel data in the same connection type. The bits selected as status bits cannot be assigned again to other channels either. Refer the following example for better understanding.

Consider a case where there is 1byte to indicate a connection. This means that there are only 8bits to both define the channels and specify the status of those channels. In such a case, for 1Byte of data the status bits can be set as illustrated in Figure 26.


60 9ARD000014-510 A

The user can select any of the bits displayed as the status bit for any particular channel. As seen in Figure 26, the 0th bit channel has the status parameter as 7th bit and 1st bit channel has the status parameter as 6th bit and so on. This means that the 7th bit determines the availability of the 0th bit, and the 1st bit determines the availability of the 6th bit, and so on. Here the bits 4,5,6,7 cannot be used for channel data.

Signal Range Parameter

The Signal Range parameter is defined by selecting a suitable range from the Range Parameter drop-down list box. The list contains possible signal ranges, each of which have pre-defined minimum and maximum values specified in the corresponding HWD file.

Figure 26. Sample allocation of Status bits and Data bits for a channel

The example provided for setting up the Status parameters is generic and for illustration only. Before setting up the Status parameters for a particular device, refer the device's manual provided by the device vendor.

Section 5 Engineering Guidelines

IntroductionEngineering Guidelines section describes the various engineering guidelines to be followed for configuring an EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet network.

System LimitationsThe limitations, with respect to the various systems involved, in configuring a DeviceNet device in the network, are:• In the case of a modular device, the maximum number of IO modules

supported for insertion, under the adapter in the Control Builder, is limited to 10.

• The maximum number of configurable parameters supported per device is limited to 100. It's not possible to go online with a DeviceNet device having more than 100 configurable parameters.

• The Maximum number of input bytes supported by LD 800DN is 496 bytes. If the total number of input bytes of all DeviceNet slaves configured under the linking device exceeds 496 bytes, download is stopped.

• The Maximum number of output bytes supported by LD 800DN is 500 bytes. If the total number of output bytes of all DeviceNet slaves configured under the linking device exceeds 500 bytes, download is stopped.

• If the connection between LD 800DN and CI873 is lost or connection between LD 800DN and configured DeviceNet slaves is lost, then IEC 1131 variables connected to input channels of DeviceNet slaves gets set to last good value.

If the aforementioned limitations are exceeded by the configured devices, then the download is aborted with an error message.

CI873 Reset Section 5 Engineering Guidelines

92 9ARD000014-510 A

CI873 ResetIf the IP address of CI873 or subnet mask is changed during reconfiguration, then the CI873 module is reset and the new values are applicable after reset.

I/O Modules Duplication within same Hardware LibraryConsider a case where the user selects an adapter with compatible I/O modules – for example: 1794-IE12, 1794-OE12, 1794-IB16 and 1794-OB16 – and adds it to the hardware library in the first import. During reimport IE12 and OE12 modules are deselected and the import process is completed. Then the configuration of the adapter will be changed and it will have references to only two modules – IB16 and OB16.

It should be noted that the user has not deleted IE12 and OE12 from the hardware library, instead only the configuration of the adapter has been modified.

In the next re-import, if the user selects an adapter with IE12 and OE12, then on completion of the import process the adapter has references to all I/O modules (IB16 and OB16 retaining their original hardware unit IDs but IE12 and OE12 with their new hardware unit IDs).

In the above scenario, there is a possibility of names being duplicated, as the hardware unit IDs of the earlier imported IE12 and OE12 do not match with the newly created hardware unit IDs. So, it is required that the user deletes the earlier I/O modules (IE12 and OE12) before importing it within the same hardware library under the same adapter.

Section 5 Engineering Guidelines DeviceNet Devices

9ARD000014-510 A 93

DeviceNet DevicesEngineering guidelines pertaining to DeviceNet devices are as follows.

Prerequisites for Configuring DeviceNet Slaves

Using Device Vendor Utilities

Certain DeviceNet slave devices require custom software utilities, provided by their vendors, to configure them. Refer to the respective device manual to configure them properly before using them with CI873 for communication.

Configuring Signal Range Parameters in Control Builder

In a DeviceNet analog slave device's EDS file having signal range parameters for range selection, the Hardware editor in Control Builder shows two sets of parameters. One set of parameters is as they appear in the EDS file and the other set is like "Signal Range Parameter 0, Signal Range Parameter 1", where each parameter corresponds to an I/O channel. Here, for successful communication to take place, the user is required to configure both these sets of parameters for each I/O channel and also configure the same range in both.

Re-Configuration of DeviceNet Devices

The following are the re-configuration scenarios when the connection between linking device and all connected DeviceNet devices time-out for a while and are then reconnected:

– When a connection related parameter is modified for a device in the Control Builder.

– When parameters like Inter Scan Delay, Expected Packet Rate, Foreground to Background Poll Ratio, ADR are changed for LD 800DN in the Control Builder.

– When a new DeviceNet device is configured or added in Control Builder.– When a DeviceNet device is deleted in the Control Builder.–

During re-configuration the LD 800DN goes to Idle Mode and the communication to DeviceNet devices is stopped.

Updation of Scanlist on DeviceNet Device Parameter Change Section 5 Engineering Guidelines

94 9ARD000014-510 A

Updation of Scanlist on DeviceNet Device Parameter Change

Consider the following case. A user selects the Poll connection trigger type during fresh configuration of a DeviceNet device. During reconfiguration, the user changes the scan list parameters associated with the COS connection trigger type, such as Inhibit time and Acknowledgement time. These changed scan list parameters are not associated with the Poll connection trigger type to which the device is configured.

In such cases, since the CI873 does not verify whether the changed parameters have any effect on the trigger type selected, the scanlist is considered changed. As a result the scanlist configured on the LD 800DN gets updated, leading to the stoppage of communication in the DeviceNet network. The Control Builder displays a warning indicating the break down of communication.

To avoid such stoppage of communication, the user should not change scanlist parameters which are not associated with the connection trigger type to which the DeviceNet device is configured.

DeviceNet I/O Module Status

DeviceNet I/O module status supervision for Modular devices is not supported. But the status information from the Adapter is propagated to the I/O modules. The presence or absence of I/O modules in the network is not indicated in the Control Builder and acts as a limitation for the Hot swap of the I/O modules.

Configuring Safe State Values for DeviceNet Devices

This is applicable for DeviceNet devices, for which a Safe State value (or a 'Fault Action' parameter) can be configured. When Safe State value is configured as part of the configuration parameters, for a particular DeviceNet device, it sets the behavior of the device.

During the configuration of a DeviceNet device, the Fault Action parameter can be set as ‘Clear data’ or ‘Hold last state’. In such a case, when the DeviceNet device detects a problem, it will set its channels to the values based on this configuration.

Section 5 Engineering Guidelines LD 800DN

9ARD000014-510 A 95

LD 800DNEngineering guidelines pertaining to the linking device LD 800DN are as follows.

LD 800DN Timing Parameters

A direct correlation exists between the following LD 800DN timing parameters:

• Foreground to Background Poll Ratio.

• Inter Scan Delay and their corresponding Expected Packet Rate value.

The following conditions need to be satisfied for a successful communication in DeviceNet devices:

• If the Strobe connection is enabled or the Polled connection is enabled with Poll Type set as Poll Every Scan Cycle, then

((Inter Scan Delay) <= (Expected Packet Rate))

• If the Polled connection is enabled with Poll Type set as Poll At Background Rate, then

((Foreground to Background Poll Ratio * Inter Scan Delay) <= (Expected Packet Rate)

The Control Builder checks the above correlation between the parameters based on the connections enabled on the DeviceNet devices. The download is aborted with an error message if the conditions are not satisfied.

For more details on the LD 800DN timing parameters, refer to Configuring LD 800DN Linking Device Unit on page 68.

LD 800DN Hot Insertion Limitation

The LD 800DN may not detect hot insertion of a device at MAC ID 63, even when Automatic Device Recovery is enabled.

For example, consider a case where two identical DeviceNet devices configured at different MAC ID positions, say, 1 and 2 are removed and one of them is inserted back at MAC ID position 63. Here, the LD 800DN may not detect the device.The status of the inserted DeviceNet device will be seen as DeviceNotFound.

Reconfiguring DeviceNet Parameters on LD 800DN Section 5 Engineering Guidelines

96 9ARD000014-510 A

Reconfiguring DeviceNet Parameters on LD 800DN

Reconfiguring the DeviceNet parameters on an LD 800DN does not disrupt the flow of input data from the DeviceNet slave devices to the CI873. However, the linking device has to be in idle mode before modifying any configuration data on it. No output data is applied from the linking device to the DeviceNet slave devices while the linking device is in idle mode.

Reconfiguring LD 800DN by changing Baud Rate

If the user changes the baud rate of the LD 800DN, then a matching baud rate change should be made in all the DeviceNet devices connected to that LD 800DN. A power recycle is then need for these changes to take effect. A matching baud rate change is not possible in DeviceNet devices which do not have any baud rate option in its configuration parameters. As a result, such devices may become incompatible with the LD 800DN's baud rate configuration. In such a case, the error displayed is CAN Bus Off or DeviceNet MAC ID initialization in progress.

Lost EtherNet/IP Message Packets on LD 800DN

Consider an LD 800DN, with either DeviceNet devices or Modular I/O devices configured under it. On checking the diagnostic information channel of the LD 800DN in Control Builder, the user may find that the value of Number of lost EtherNet/IP messages on the LD 800DN is increasing. To reduce the number of lost message packets, increase the RPI value. The RPI value can be increased from 10 (minimum) to 500 (maximum). Increasing the RPI value helps in reducing/stopping the increase in the number of lost packets.

9ARD000014-510 A 97

Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN

OverviewThe LD 800DN, EtherNet/IP to DeviceNet linking device, provides full DeviceNet master functionality, allowing connectivity to 63 DeviceNet slaves. It also supports EtherNet/IP adapter class functionality with CIP Message Routing.

Configuration Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN

98 9ARD000014-510 A

ConfigurationThis section describes the configuration of the LD 800DN Ethernet to DeviceNet linking device.

BridgeWay Configuration Tool

Before configuring the LD 800DN in the Control Builder and going online, it should be configured with an IP Address and MAC ID. This can be done using the BridgeWay Configuration tool.

BridgeWay Configuration is a Microsoft Windows application that communicates with the LD 800DN over a standard RS-232 serial link, using the PC serial port or USB serial adapter. BridgeWay Configuration runs on both Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server.

Installing BridgeWay Configuration Tool

To install BridgeWay Configuration from the DVD, run Setup.exe available in the directory \Engineering & Development\Control Builder M\Tools\LD800DN\ConfigurationTool of the DVD.

Connecting to the LD 800DN Module

Connect the system, in which BridgeWay Configuration is run, to the LD 800DN module using a standard Null-Modem (pin 2 and pin 3) serial cable. This cable should connect the PC serial port (or the USB serial adapter, if used) to the 9 pin D-Sub connector on the module.

BridgeWay Configuration scans for each available port, detects the connection and automatically sets the baud rate.

BridgeWay Configuration must be used only for setting the IP address, MAC ID and upgrading the firmware. Making any other changes will cause a conflict with the settings downloaded from CI873.

Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN BridgeWay Configuration Tool

9ARD000014-510 A 99

Starting BridgeWay Configuration

Ensure that the LD 800DN module is powered and connected to the PC serial port. Select Start > BridgeWay Configuration, to run the BridgeWay Configuration tool.

When BridgeWay Configuration is launched, it attempts to locate a LD 800DN module on one of the PC serial ports. After locating the module, the status area of the tool displays the type and the status of that module.

If module is not connected to the PC or if it is powered off, the status area indicates that no module is detected. If the module is powered off, switch it on and ensure that the connection is proper. Then, click Refresh icon on the BridgeWay Configuration tool bar.

Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN IP Address and MAC ID Configuration for LD 800DN

9ARD000014-510 A 103

IP Address and MAC ID Configuration for LD 800DN

The IP address and the MAC ID of LD 800DN, can be configured using the BridgeWay Configuration tool. The steps for this are:

1. Launch the BridgeWay Configuration tool, by selectingStart > BridgeWay Configuration. The tool connect to the LD 800DN module and the BridgeWay Configuration user interface appearsas shown in Figure 35.

2. In the Ethernet Configuration pane of the user interface, edit the IP Address and the Subnet Mask fields to the desired values.

3. In the DeviceNet Configuration pane of the user interface, edit the MAC Address field to set the desired node address/MAC ID.

4. Click Download to Module from the Configuration menu, to initiate download of the new configuration to the LD 800DN linking device. On clicking Download to Module, a dialog box with the following message is displayed:

Downloading the configuration may cause the device to reset or active connections to be interrupted. Do you wish to continue?

5. Click Yes if you wish to continue with the download.

Apart from using the BridgeWay Configuration tool, other methods to set the IP Address of the linking device are:• Setting IP Address using LD 800DN DIP Switch on page 103• Setting the IP Address through the Web Page on page 104

Setting IP Address using LD 800DN DIP Switch

There is an 8 position Dual In-line Package (DIP) switch on one end of the LD 800DN module. This DIP switch can be used to select a portion of the default IP Address.

The value of the switch is assigned as the last octet of the IP Address when the module powers up.

The LD 800DN is automatically reset after the IP Address and MAC ID configuration is downloaded from the BridgeWay Configuration tool.

IP Address and MAC ID Configuration for LD 800DN Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN

104 9ARD000014-510 A

The DIP Switch value is the binary value of the last byte in the 4 byte IP address. Considering it as n, then:

• IP Address – 192.168.1.n

• Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0

• Gateway Address – 0.0.0.0 (No gateway set)

Refer to Figure 38, for a sample illustration of a DIP Switch.

The switches are set to 00010100 (20 decimal) (The switch position is shown in White in Figure 38). Hence, the IP address of the module is set to 192.168.1.20.

Setting the IP Address through the Web Page

The IP address of the linking device can also be configured using the LD 800DN Status & Settings web page from the linking device.

To view the web page, use the http://<IP Address> as the URL, where<IP Address> is the current IP Address of the module. This URL brings up theStatus & Settings web page. For details on the Status & Settings web page and on setting up the IP address, refer Status & Settings Web Page on page 119.

A non-zero DIP switch setting overrides any other IP Address setting done. Hence, set the DIP switch value to zero if other methods are used to set the IP address of the LD 800DN.

Figure 38. DIP Switch Configuration

The numbers on the switches of DIP switch do not correspond to bit locations in the address value. Instead, the numbers are reversed. That is, bit 0 is set by switch 8.

Scan Cycle Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN

106 9ARD000014-510 A

Scan CycleThe Scan cycle of the linking device is used for its communication with DeviceNet slaves. A scan cycle consists of the following:

• A Strobed Message and associated Strobed responses.

• Polled messages and responses.

• Inter scan delay, which is the time delay between consecutive I/O scans.

Figure 40 shows a graphical illustration of the Scan cycles.

Inter Scan Delay is used for performing non time critical operations, like configuration using explicit messages.

Figure 40. Scan Cycles

Setting Inter Scan Delay to a very low value increases the latency for non-time-critical operations. Setting this parameter to a very large value reduces the newness of the I/O data being collected by the linking device and is not advisable.

Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN LD 800DN I/O Tables

9ARD000014-510 A 107

LD 800DN I/O TablesThe LD 800DN maintains an I/O table accessible by both DeviceNet slaves and CI873. The DeviceNet interface in the LD 800DN accesses the I/O tables, as slave I/O connections are processed by the DeviceNet master. There is no buffering or timed updates of the I/O within the module. Safeguards are in place to ensure data integrity by prohibiting simultaneous access by the Ethernet and DeviceNet interfaces. There is no synchronization between the two network interfaces.

When an output data is required on a I/O connection of a slave, the output data is read from the Output table. This output data is written by the Ethernet interface.

When an input data is received on a I/O connection of a slave, it is copied to the Input table. This data is available for reading by the Ethernet interface and sent to the EtherNet/IP scanner during the next data exchange.

Status and Diagnostics IndicatorsLD 800DN has a group of LED indicators on its front side for displaying the current status of the module and the network interfaces. The layout of the LEDs is shown in Figure 41.

File System Structure

Figure 52 illustrates the structure of the file system — where the system files are located and which areas can be accessed by normal/admin users.

File System Security

The LD 800DN file system has two security levels — Admin mode and Normal mode. Depending on the security level allowed of different users, they can have access to different files and directories.

Figure 52. File System Structure in LD 800DN

User Accounts on LD 800DN Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN

126 9ARD000014-510 A

User Accounts on LD 800DN

The LD 800DN contains two user accounts on initial power up, namely the Administrator Mode and the Normal Mode.

Administrator Mode

In Administrator mode, the Admin user has full access to the file system through FTP. This enables the user to access areas of the file system that are restricted or inaccessible for Normal mode users.

The account login details are:• User Name = Admin• Default Password = DNmemmap

Normal Mode

Normal mode is recommended for normal user operation. In this mode, the web pages and other settings are protected from unauthorized modification. In normal mode the FTP services are only enabled if there is a subdirectory called \user. When a normal user connects via FTP, this directory is the root directory. The user can access only the files and subdirectories in this directory.

The default password is DNmemmap. Replace this with a password that conforms with your organization's security policy at the first possible opportunity. Failure to replace the default password makes the system susceptible to unauthorized access.Refer to the Password Security topic in System 800xA Administration and Security (3BSE037410*) for recommendations on establishing a password security scheme.

The default password can be changed by changing the password files. The Administrator can access the password files to add or remove users or change passwords. Refer Password Files on page 130 for more details.

Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN Pre-existing Directories and Files

9ARD000014-510 A 127

The Normal Mode account login details are:• User Name = guest• Default Password = EIPnetwork

Pre-existing Directories and Files

The following directories are present on the LD 800DN upon first power up:

• \pswd

• \user

• \web

• \web\styles

The following files are also present on the LD 800DN:

• \pswd\ad_pswd.cfg

• \ethcfg.cfg

• \index.htm

• \user\pswd\sys_pswd.cfg

LD 800DN System Files

The LD 800DN uses the system files for configuration purposes. These files are not used to store any user data or application data. These pre-existing files are ASCII

The default password is EIPnetwork. Replace this with a password that conforms with your organization's security policy at the first possible opportunity. Failure to replace the default password makes the system susceptible to unauthorized access.Refer to the Password Security topic in System 800xA Administration and Security (3BSE037410*) for recommendations on establishing a password security scheme.

The default password can be changed by changing the password files. The Administrator can access the password files to add or remove users or change passwords. Refer Password Files on page 130 for more details.

Run/Idle State Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN

132 9ARD000014-510 A

Run/Idle StateThe linking device LD 800DN has two modes of operation — Run and Idle.

In Run mode, the LD 800DN sends output data to the slaves and receives input data. During normal operation, it must be in Run Mode.

In Idle mode, the LD 800DN receives input data from the slaves but it does not send output data. In Idle mode the LD 800DN’s configuration can be changed.

The LD 800DN module powers up in Idle mode. CI873 sets it into Run mode after configuration, before starting I/O communication. A re-configuration performed from Control Builder, requires LD 800DN to be put in Idle mode. These state changes are handled by CI873.

Manually Changing Run/Idle State

A user can change the state of linking device through the following system command — PhClassLibCICommandX to 1ab — where:

• PhClassLibCICommandX is a system variable where X is the position of the CI873

• 1 indicates that it's a command to change the linking device’s mode.

• a is the position of LD 800DN in the hardware tree of Control Builder

• b is the value of the mode to be changed to. For Run mode, value of b should be 1 (one) and for Idle mode, value of b should be 0 (zero).

Example — To change the state of a LD 800DN configured at position 36 in Control Builder and connected under CI873 at position 2 to Idle modeset PhClassLibCICommand2 to 1360

The LD 800DN linking device has to be in idle mode before modifying any configuration data on it. Reconfiguring the DeviceNet parameters on an LD 800DN does not disrupt the flow of input data from the DeviceNet slave devices to the CI873. However, no output data is applied from the linking device to the DeviceNet slave devices while the linking device is in idle mode.

Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN Automatic Device Recovery

9ARD000014-510 A 133

Automatic Device RecoveryAutomatic Device Recovery (ADR) is introduced in Automatic Device Recovery on page 25.

The ADR feature consists of Address Recovery and Configuration Recovery.

Address Recovery

Address Recovery gets enabled when the Automatic Device Recovery (ADR) parameter of the Linking Device is enabled. Disabling ADR, also disables Address Recovery.

LD 800DN executes the following steps to perform an address recovery:

1. On detecting the loss of a slave, LD 800DN begins to monitor MAC ID 63 for an identical device. The user needs to add an identical device to the network at MAC ID 63.

2. LD 800DN then verifies whether the newly added device is exactly the same kind as the lost slave device. This depends on the electronic key setting of the device.

3. Upon successful verification, LD 800DN changes the MAC ID of the new device from 63 to that of the lost slave device.

Configuration Recovery

Configuration Recovery can be enabled only if the ADR parameter is enabled. Configuration Recovery is enabled by enabling the Config Recovery parameter of the DeviceNet slave device. In Configuration Recovery, the DeviceNet device configuration stored in LD 800DN is written into the slave device that replaces the lost slave device.

If a slave device has a switch to change its node address, then Address Recovery may not work. In this case, the user should ensure that the switch is set to that of the lost slave device.

If two devices of the same type are replaced simultaneously, the LD 800DN disables the Address Recovery feature. In this case, the user should ensure that the new devices have the same addresses as the corresponding earlier devices.

Memory Space Limitations for Configuration Recovery

Every Config Recovery enabled slave device, which has user configurable parameters, occupy some memory space in the linking device. The size of memory available for this, in LD 800DN, is limited to 130560 bytes.

If the total size of the user configurable parameters of all Config Recovery enabled devices exceed 130560 bytes, then Configuration Recovery will not work for the DeviceNet devices. This is stated in a warning, shown during download, along with the hardware tree positions of the devices. When the user gets this warning, they can do either of these:

• Cancel the process and go online to disable the configuration recovery for some slaves in Control Builder, so that other required devices can get this feature enabled.

• Ignore the warning. In this case, the Configuration Recovery will not be enabled for some devices and they will have the warning in UnitStatus —Keeper space exceeded. ADR not configured.

Configuring ADR from Control Builder

The following needs to be considered for configuring the ADR feature from Control Builder:

• For ADR feature to work, enable the parameter ADR in the hardware editor of LD 800DN. Disabling this parameter disables Address Recovery and Configuration Recovery for all DeviceNet devices.

• Address Recovery cannot be disabled individually for each configured DeviceNet slave device. However, it can be disabled for all DeviceNet slave devices by disabling the ADR parameter on LD 800DN.

• Configuration Recovery can be individually enabled or disabled for each DeviceNet slave through the Config Recovery parameter on the DeviceNet device. For this, the ADR parameter on LD 800DN must be kept enabled.
