About the Enterprise Online Configuration Utility

The Online Configuration Utility communicates with XM modules over Ethernet and
DeviceNet. This allows you to configure XM modules from your computer, regardless of
the location of the XM modules.
How the Online Configuration Utility works with XM modules

The following diagram illustrates how the Online Configuration Utility communicates
with XM modules. The computer and the network gateway modules communicate over an
Ethernet network. Each network gateway communicates with other XM modules over a
separate DeviceNet network, as shown below.
2
• • • • •
1 • INTRODUCTION
In general, the Online Configuration Utility communicates with XM modules through an Ethernet
network and an Ethernet-DeviceNet gateway such as the XM-500 module or 1788-EN2DN
device. However, you can also connect directly to a DeviceNet network, using the Enterprise
Online Configuration Utility. See the online help for more information.
Typically, in an Emonitor Online System, the Online Configuration Utility is installed and
run on an Unload Station computer in an Emonitor Online system. The Enterprise Online
Configuration Utility can only be started from the XM Online Data program. The XM
Online Data program must be installed with the Enterprise Online Configuration Utility.
Both are installed with Emonitor.
The Online Configuration Utility stores the network and XM module configuration in a
network configuration file. Other programs, such as XM Online Data also use this
network configuration file to get, display, and export data from the XM modules.
The Online Configuration Utility can work in either online or offline modes.
When you are working online, (the computer hosting the Online Configuration
Utility is connected to the network) you can browse networks. You can communicate
with XM modules to upload and download configuration parameters, and to view
data.

3 Getting started with Enterprise Online

Configuration Utility
Welcome to the Enterprise Online Configuration Utility
The Enterprise Online Configuration Utility is a program that allows you to configure XM
modules and the networks that connect them to your computer. You can also view data
from XM modules using the Online Configuration Utility.
Before you can use the Online Configuration Utility with your XM modules, there are a
set of initial steps that you must use to prepare your system.
Initial steps
There are several steps that you must follow before using the Online Configuration Utility
to communicate with your XM modules. These include installing and commissioning
your XM modules, registering the electronic data sheets (EDS files) for the XM modules,
and configuring the Ethernet driver with RSLinx. See Quick Start initial steps on page 22.
Configure networks online

You use the Online Configuration Utility to configure your XM system when online.
Working “online”
When you are working online, the computer hosting the Online Configuration Utility is connected
to the network. You can browse networks and upload configuration parameters from XM
modules. You can then edit them as needed, and then download them back to the XM module. In
addition, you can also monitor data from the XM module, including the configuration parameters.
The system includes several components. The computer and the network gateway
modules communicate over an Ethernet network. Each network gateway communicates
with other XM modules over a separate DeviceNet network, as shown below.
11
• • • • •
In general, the Online Configuration Utility communicates with XM modules through an Ethernet
network and an Ethernet-DeviceNet gateway such as the XM-500 module or the 1788-EN2DN
device. However, you can also connect directly to a DeviceNet network, using the Enterprise
Online Configuration Utility. See the online help for more information.
The Online Configuration Utility stores the network and XM module configuration in a
network configuration file. Other programs, such as XM Online Data also use this
network configuration file to get, display, and export data from the XM modules. See
Quick Start steps to configure your network online on page 24.
You can also use a programmable logic controller (PLC) as the Ethernet-DeviceNet gateway, in
the place of a network gateway module. However, you cannot use the Online Configuration
Utility to configure or communicate with a PLC. Contact Technical Support for more information.
12
• • • • •
3 • GETTING STARTED WITH ENTERPRISE ONLINE CONFIGURATION UTILITY
Configure networks offline

You can also use the Online Configuration Utility to configure your XM system when
online.
Working “offline”
When you are working offline, you can edit the network and XM module configuration parameters
and save them to the network configuration file. You can download the parameters to the network
later when you go online. The XM module configuration parameters that appear when working
offline are either:
the parameters you last saved to the configuration file, or
the factory defaults from the electronic data sheet.
When you configure your system offline, you create a network configuration file, just as
you do when you configure your system online. The difference is that when you work
offline, you must describe your system in the Online Configuration Utility, instead of
having the Online Configuration Utility scan for DeviceNet networks and XM modules.
See Quick Start steps to configure your network offline on page 29.
View data
The Online Configuration Utility displays data from XM modules in both interactive Plot
windows and numeric data tables. The available plot types depend on the type of XM
module, and can include trend, spectrum, spectrum map, and time waveform plots. You
can only view data when online. See Quick Start steps for viewing data on page 34.
13
• • • • •
Main windows
The Online Configuration Utility software is comprised of three main windows and two
additional types of window:
Tree View window
This window shows all the networks and XM modules
for the current network configuration file. The Graph
View window replaces the Tree View window.
Tree View and Graph View tabs Information Message window

These tabs allow you to switch This window shows text messages
between the Tree View window and that describe events as you
the Graph View window perform various tasks
Tree View window

The Tree View window shows you a picture of your network, including both the Ethernet
network side and the DeviceNet network side. There are typically 4 levels in the tree. The
following table describes the levels, and gives typical names for items at each level. Note
that the levels depend on the way RSLinx is configured to access the network.
14
• • • • •
Level Description
1 Workstation level. This is the highest level, and represents your computer.
XM Ethernet Network
2 Driver level. This represents the driver configured in RSLinx that allows your
computer to communicate with XM modules.
RSLinx Driver AB_ETH-1 Station Number 63
3 Gateway level. This represents the network gateway module that communicates
between the Ethernet network and the DeviceNet Network.
Ethernet Station Number: 000 - XM-500 EtherNet/IP Gateway
4 Device level. This represents the individual devices (XM modules) on the DeviceNet
network. The device name is preceded by the node address.
01, XM-120 BRG 1
The network gateway appears twice because it acts as both an Ethernet device and a DeviceNet
device. You cannot configure the Ethernet side of the network gateway in the Online
Configuration Utility. You can, however, configure the DeviceNet side of the network gateway.
The following table describes the icons that appear in the Tree View window.
Icon Description
Indicates a network gateway module, either the Ethernet side or the DeviceNet side of
the module
Indicates an XM measurement or relay module
Indicates an active XM measurement or relay module in communication with the

Online Configuration Utility
Indicates an active XM measurement or relay module that is in Program mode
Indicates an XM measurement or relay module that appears in the Online

Configuration Utility network configuration, but is not in communication with the
Other DeviceNet devices may appear in the Tree View. The text for these devices is colored
gray. You cannot communicate with non-XM devices.
Click the Tree View window, then press F1 to display the help topic for the window.
15
• • • • •
Graph View window

The Graph View window shows you a picture of the selected DeviceNet network.
Each network gateway (such as an XM-500 module or 1799-EN2DN device) defines a separate

To use the quick start steps, select a task then perform all of the quick start steps for that
task. For detailed information on tasks or on using specific dialog boxes in Online
Configuration Utility, refer to the online help.
Quick Start initial steps

The following quick start steps describe the things you must do before you can use the
Online Configuration Utility to configure your networks and XM modules.
STEP 1 INSTALL AND CONNECT XM MODULES
If you are going to configure your network online, you must first install your XM
modules. This requires the following steps.
1. Install your XM modules and connect them to the transducers.
2. Connect the XM modules to the DeviceNet network.
3. Install the network gateway module or modules.
22
• • • • •
4. Connect the network gateway modules to the Ethernet network.
You can also use a programmable logic controller (PCL) as the Ethernet-DeviceNet gateway,
in the place of a network gateway module. However, you cannot use the Online Configuration
Utility to configure or communicate with a PLC. Contact Technical Support for more
information.
Refer to the documentation for the individual XM modules for assistance.
STEP 2 COMMISSION XM MODULES
Before you can add any XM module to a DeviceNet network, it may need to be
commissioned. This means that a node address and a baud rate must be programmed into
the XM module.
Most DeviceNet devices are factory commissioned with default values per the DeviceNet
specification. Usually, the node address is set to 63 and the data rate is set to 125K baud.
As long as the factory default parameters do not conflict with those of other devices
already on the network, you can connect the new device to the network and then use Tools
> Node Commissioning to change the node address and baud rate. If the date rate or
address conflicts, use a separate network to commission the device or use the XM Serial
Configuration Utility program with a local (serial cable) connection between the XM
module and the computer. The XM Serial Configuration Utility is included with the XM
modules.
If you have not set up your DeviceNet network yet, and cannot connect to an XM module with the
Online Configuration Utility, use the XM Serial Configuration Utility program with a local (serial
cable) connection between the XM module and the computer.
STEP 3 REGISTER EDS FILES
Before using the Online Configuration Utility with XM modules, you must first register
the electronic data sheets (EDS) for those modules. This stores the configuration and
identification information for the XM modules in the EDS library, and allows you to
access that information from the Online Configuration Utility.
1. Start the EDS Registration program. Click the Windows Start button, then select
Programs > Rockwell Software > RSLinx > Tools > EDS Hardware Installation
Tool.
2. In the Hardware Installation Tool, click Add to launch the EDS Wizard to add the
EDS files.
3. Follow the directions in the Wizard to register all the EDS files for the XM modules.
The EDS files are located in the Online Configuration Utility program directory. The
default directory for the EDS files is \Program Files\Rockwell Software\Emonitor.
4. Close the Hardware Installation Tool when finished.
23
• • • • •
STEP 4 RUN RSLINX TO CONFIGURE THE ETHERNET DRIVER
Before using the Online Configuration Utility, you must configure the driver that
communicates with the XM modules.
1. Start RSLinx. Click the Start button, then select Programs > Rockwell Software >
RSLinx > RSLinx Classic.
