APPENDIX ETHERNETIIP TO SBC-2000 INTERFACING Overview This section is @ guide to aid in interfacing Acrison’s SBC-2000 CM and DSP Feeder Controllers to a ‘host’ supporting Allen Bradley's EthernetIP. The guide should be used in conjunction with the actual Operating and Instruction manual supplied with the Host Because of the complex nature of the subject matter, a certain level of knowledge regarding Local Area Networks (LAN), TCPIIP and Ethemet is required Additionally the user should be familiar with the Alen Bradley Ethernet/IP and DF1(PCCC) protocols. In general, this manual wil: + Give an overview of the interface topology and the major interface components, + Provide a synopsis of the EthemeUIP, CIP and PCCC protocols. + Show network device configurafon and give host examples. Users requiring information on any third-party software, equipment or software protocols should reference the appropriate specification and/or vendor manual Note: The Acrison SBC-2000 controller family does not require an EDS file, General Network Acrison’s SBC-2000 DSP and CM assemblies have built in RJ-46 jacks and can be connected directly to an Ethernet LAN. The basic SBC-2000 module requires an Ethernet gateway to connect to a LAN. The figure below is a general Ethernet! IP network diagram showing some connectons between a *host’ PC or PLC and various Acrison setups. The diagram shows the PC and PLC connected to a corporate LAN. Often Automation Engineers will spec an Ethernet Router or ‘Switch to keep the Control LAN Ethernet trafic separate from corporate traffic.2 spc-2000 Figure D-1_ Example—Ethemet Configuration (5) EtheretP interfacing Ethornet Port Specifications Parameter Description [Hardware Interface Ethernet 2.01EEE 802.3 Transmission Speed ToMBaud [Connectors Rua5(10BaeeT) Ethernet/IP Ethernet networking has become a prominent communication protocol worldwide, Its low cost, high reliability and high speed has induced Allen Bradley to develop an automation industry “standard” called Ethernet/IP (where IP stands for Industrial Protocol). This protocol rides on top of TCP/IP, which uses Ethernet as the hardware/datalink media. Allen Bradley has made the Ethernel/IP protocol an “open Protocol’. Details of the protocol are available from the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association website (www.ODVA.com) and from Allen Bradiey. Allen Bradley's EthernevIP protocol was designed around the “CIP” (Control and Information Protocol) that is used on ControlNet and Devicenet. Additionally, messaging capability was added to support PCCC encapsulation. This manual assumes that the reader is familiar with Ethernet! IP and the PCCC. and CIP protocols. Acrison supports the following error messages STS CODE No CODE (No error) 0x00 Address doesn't point to something usable Ox0F 0x08 File is wrong size ox0F 0x07 Transaction size too large ox0F Ox0ABad condition/Resource NIA OxOF oxoc Megal Command Ox0F x10 egal Data type Ox0F oxt4 HOST Configuration Examples (ControlLogix) The following pages provide several screen examples illustrating some key actions associated with configuring the Host PLC, DCS or PC. The example screens were developed using RSLogix 6000 and are associated with both PCCC and CIP protocols When examining these screens please refer to Appendix B of the SBC-2000 Family User Guide. Within the charts provided in Appendix B four columns are applicable to Ethernet/IP (see excerpt below): 1) Column 4 (Feeder and/or System Parameters) This column contains the ame of the parameter or function. A complate description of each parameter can be found in the SBC-2000 Family User Guide in Appendix A 2) Column 3 (Type): Specifies the data type for the parameter. The data type for PCCC and CIP protocols is always floating point so this column can be ignored. 3) Column 4 (Read/Write). Specifies whether this parameter's value can be modified (R/W), or whether itis read-only (R), or write-only (W). 4) Column § (SDLC . . . Hex). This is the Attribute Code for use in accessing this Particular parameter in CIP protocol. 5) Column 9 (A-B Data Highway) The Ethemet/IP PCCC Codes follow the same Index values as this column. The only exceptions are the Commands (83:24) that have different bit values than those in this column. See "PCCC: ‘Typed Write Binary on page 7 Figure D-2.

This will return bit + of the Status register (the ON indicator in series 400 controllers) fusing RSView be aware that the driver will attempt to read a full block of data of the same type. So a request of 83:102 and B3:154 will be an attempt to read 52 parameters which is beyond the Acrison drivers size restrictions. Altomativaly, the Remapped Status request can be used.

Once the scanner is configured, the ContolLogix will automatically create three (8) arrays using the "name" you assigned to the scanner. As shown in the example image, the scanner was named "SBC2000_1", so three arrays, named "SBC2000_1:1", "SBC2000_1:0", and "SBC2000_1:C" are created. Of these, only the "I" and™0" arrays are used. The "I" and "0" arrays each contain 16 data fields of type "Real" ( Data[0] thraugh Data[18)). The "I" array is data being read from the controller, the "O" array is data being written to the controller. The values presented are controled by the Remap parameters for "Serial Channe! O/Ethernet. Any numerical value may be remapped (no text parameters Tay be remapped, such as Feeder Name) and all parameters are presented as floating point values.

In this example, to start and stop it, and to initiate a refill The example uses what is referred to as “scanning” on the Ethemet channel, since the PLC handles al ofthis by itself “in the background” and makes the data available in predefined tags for program use. Figure D-3 shows the ladder diagram for this program. Note the status data arrives as a REAL value in "SBC2000:1.Datal 15)" (which is the Ethernet Input Data Array). The MOV instruction on line Oconverts this REAL value to a 32 bit DINT called “int_Status”. Once this is done “int_Status” can be bit addressed throughout the ladder. The run status bitis at “Int_Status.0", which you can see being referenced on lines 1 and 3. "Int_Status is expanded on Figure D-5to show its individual bits, and what they represent, Lines 2 and 4 of Figure D-3 show a method of starting and stopping the feeder by setting and clearing bit 0 of the INT command word "Command _Bits.” Line 5 monitors the Low Level Status Bit at "Int_Status.6", and if the controller isin Manual Refil Mode (‘int_Status.2') If this is true, it sets bit 4 of "Command _Bits’ which initiates a Refill “Ccmmand_Bits” is expanded on Figure D-4to show its individual bits and what they represent. On line 6, a MOV instruction is used to convert the INT value of "Command_Bits" to the REAL value at "SBC2000:0. Data 14" (The command value in the Ethemet Output Array). Figures D-4and D-5 show the expanded contents of the various controller tags containing the input data, output data, status, and command bits. “aTFigure D-3 Example—Ladder Diagram Figure D4 Example—Command Tags fi EE BBEBEEEEE! i i 18 SBC-2000Figure D-5 Example—Data & Status Tags Sac 65621 Fo 25.0 /Poe [Drone Drone [Drona Drona [Drona Drona [Drona Sob ai RE sate sro unt 800 inva ila bien Eee oso sri ania sere esses noms esvines oo sere-20 SBC-2000
