Configuring the Fieldbus Interface

Introduction

This section describes the configuration of the Modicon TM5 EtherNet/IP Fieldbus Interface as an Ethernet/IP target device.

For further information about EtherNet/IP, refer to the www.odva.org website.

EtherNet/IP Target Configuration

To configure your TM5NEIP1 as an EtherNet/IP target device, add the fieldbus interface to your project. Refer to Adding a Fieldbus Interface.

Industrial Ethernet Port Configuration

The device can be connected via Industrial Ethernet. For information and procedures necessary to configure the device network, refer to the EcoStruxure Machine Expert EtherNet/IP User Guide.

EtherNet/IP Parameter Configuration

To configure the Ethernet/IP parameters, double-click the TM5 EtherNet/IP Fieldbus Interface node in the Devices tree.

Target Settings Tab

The configured parameters are explained as below:

Configurable Parameters		Description
IP Address by DHCP		IP address is obtained via DHCP
Fixed IP Address		IP address, subnet mask and gateway address are defined by the user

Electronic Keying

Electronic Keying signatures are used to identify the device. Electronic Keying is information contained in the firmware of the device (Vendor Code, Product Code, …).When the controller scanner starts, it compares each selected electronic keying value with the corresponding information in the device. If the device values are not the same as the application values, the logic controller no longer communicates with the device.

You can configure any of following Electronic Keying attributes:

Attribute	Description
Check Device Type	The general type of the product.
Check Vendor Code	The device manufacture.
Check Product Code	The specific type of the product. The Product Code maps to a catalog number. The Product Code differentiates the product from other products of the same Device Type under the indicated Vendor.
Check Major Revision	A number that represents the functional capabilities of a device. Typically, a Major Revision is backwards compatible with a lower Major Revision.
Check Minor Revision	A number that represents behavior changes in the device, for example, anomaly corrections. This number does not represent the functional capabilities of a device.

Connections on Ethernet/IP

To access a target device, an Originator opens a connection which can include several sessions that send requests.

One explicit connection uses one session (a session is a TCP or UDP connection).

One I/O connection uses two sessions.

The total number of connections is 32.

NOTE: The TM5 EtherNet/IP Fieldbus Interface supports cyclic connections. If an Originator opens a connection using a change of state as a trigger, packets are sent at the RPI rate.

Connections Tab

Each EtherNet/IP device has connections.

In the Devices tree, double-click an EtherNet/IP device and select the Connections tab.

Column	Comment
Connection N°	The connection number is unique. It is automatically assigned by EcoStruxure Machine Expert.
Connection Name	The connection name is generated automatically by EcoStruxure Machine Expert.
RPI O --> T (ms)	Requested Packet Interval: The time period between cyclic data transmissions requested by the scanner.
RPI T --> O (ms)
O->T size (byte)	Number of bytes to exchange between the Originator (O) and the Target (T).
T->O size (byte)

To create a connection, click Add Connection.

To modify a connection, select a connection and click Edit Connection, or double-click it.

To remove a connection, select a connection and click Delete Connection.

EtherNet/IP I/O Mapping Tab

Variables can be defined and named in the EtherNet/IP I/O Mapping tab. Additional information such as topological addressing is also provided in this tab. For information and procedures necessary to configure the EtherNet/IP I/O Mapping, refer to the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Programming Guide.

Status

The description of the TM5 EtherNet/IP Fieldbus Interface status is as follows:

oReads the fieldbus interface status. 32 bits of information are available.

oBits 0 to 10 indicate error-free states; bits 11 to 31 indicate error states.

oIndividual states are also indicated by the LED status indicators on the fieldbus interface.

The following table shows bits, their values and description:

The Ethernet link object manages connection-specific counters and status information.

The following table provides a general overview of the Ethernet link object:

Value	Description
0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x6, 0x7	Class attributes
0x1, 0xE	Class services
0x1, 0x2, 0x3	Instance attributes
0x1, 0xE	Instance services

The following table describes the instance attributes:

Attribute ID (hex)	Access	Data type	Description	Function
0x1	Get	UDINT	Transfer rate currently in use	Speed in Mbps (e.g. 0, 10, 100, 1000, etc.)
0x2	Get	DWORD	Interface status flag	Refer to interface status table below
0x3	Get	ARRAY [0...5] of USINT	Physical address	Device-specific MAC address

The following table describes the status codes of the interface status flag:

Bit	Name	Description
0	Connection status	Indicates whether the communication interface is connected to an active network. o0: Indicates an inactive link. o1: Indicates an active link.
1	Full-/Half-duplex	Indicates the duplex mode currently in use. o0: Indicates that the interface is running half duplex. o1: Indicates full duplex. This flag is undefined if the connection status flag is 0.
2…4	Auto-negotiation Status	Indicates the current status of auto-negotiation. o0: Auto-negotiation in progress o1-2: Auto-negotiation and speed detection not successful. o3: Successfully negotiated speed and duplex. o4: Auto-negotiation not attempted. Forced speed and duplex.
5	Manual Setting Require Reset	Indicates the change mode required. o0: The interface can activate changes to link parameters (auto-negotiate, duplex mode, interface speed) automatically. o1: The device requires a reset service be issued to its identity object in order for the changes to take effect.
6	Local Hardware Error	Indicates whether a local error is detected. o0: Indicates that the interface detects no local hardware error o1: Indicates that a local hardware error is detected. The meaning of this is product-specific.
7…31	Reserved	Reserved. Set to 0 by default.

The following table describes the instance service objects:

Service code (hex)	Supported by	Service name	Description
0x1	Class/Instance	Get_Attribute_All	Returns a predefined list of object attributes.
0xE	Class/Instance	Get_Attribute_Single	Provides the contents of the corresponding attribute.
