introduced in Windows XP SP2 a limit of concurrent half-open outbound
TCP/IPconnections (connection attempts) to slow the spread of virus and malware from
system to system. This limit makes it impossible to have more than 10 concurrent half-
open outbound connections. Every further connection attempt is put in a queue and
forced to wait. Due to this limitation a large IP range used in combination with a low scan
timeout could prevent the connection establishment to a device.

4.4 Signal Mapping

The signal mapping determines which user data of the primary network are
assigned to which user data of the secondary network and vice versa.
The signal mapping is relevant for the gateway devices netTAP NT 50,
NT 100, NT 151-RE-RE and netBRICK NB 100. The mapping of the data
for gateway devices can be done by the user und be configured within
SYCON.net. The mapping of data is already specified for proxy devices
and done automatically by SYCON.net.
With the mapping for gateway devices

• the received data from the primary network are mapped to the send data
of the secondary network,
• the received data from the secondary network are mapped to the send
data of the primary network,
• status information of the primary network is mapped to the send data of
the secondary network,
• status information of the secondary network is mapped to the send data
of the primary network.
With this mapping a device internal list in generated. The device work each
x ms through this list and copies the data.

On the pane I/O Data Mapping you can map the I/O Data of port X2 to the
I/O data of port X3.
Figure 116: Signal Mapping
The I/O mapping is done the following way:

Data transfer from Port X2 to Port X3
signals, which should be send on Port X3 (Port X3 send).
 For this, mark the signal received (Port X2) and the signal to be send
Or
(Port X2 receive) and drop it on the signal to be send (Port X3 send)

The signal mapping can also be done automatically be the configuration
software. Set Auto Mapping to From Port X3 to Port X2 and then click on
Apply. The automatic signal mapping is done.

4.4.1 Status Information

The status of the remote network coupled by the netTAP NT 100 can be
mapped into the I/O data. It contains the items shown in the figures for
master and slave and are described below.
Figure 117: Status information of the Master
Figure 118: Status information of the Slave
Some status information belong to the master firmware and to the slave
firmware status and are marked with “Master and Slave”), others belong
only to the master firmware status and are marked with “Master”.
Number of Active Slaves (Master)

The firmware maintains a list of slaves within the remote network to which
the remote network’s master has successfully opened a connection. Ideally,
the number of active slaves is equal to the number of configured slaves.
This field holds the number of active slaves.

Communication Change of State (Master and Slave)
The communication change of state register contains information about the
current operating status of the communication channel and its firmware.
31 30 … 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
COMM_COS_READY
COMM_COS_RUN
COMM_COS_BUS_ON
COMM_COS_CONFIG_LOCKED
COMM_COS_CONFIG_NEW
COMM_COS_RESTART_REQUIRED
COMM_COS_RESTART_REQUIRED_ENABLE
unused, set to zero
Table 15: Communication Change of State
The Communication Change of State Flags have the following meaning:

Status Meaning
Ready (Bit 0) The Ready flag is set as soon as the protocol stack is started properly. Then the protocol
stack is awaiting a configuration. As soon as the protocol stack is configured properly, the
Running flag is set, too.
Running (Bit 1) The Running flag is set when the protocol stack has been configured properly. Then the
protocol stack is awaiting a network connection. Now both the Ready flag and the
Running flag are set.
Bus On (Bit 2) The Bus On flag is set to indicate to the host system whether or not the protocol stack
has the permission to open network connections. If set, the protocol stack has the
permission to communicate on the network; if cleared, the permission was denied and
the protocol stack will not open network connections.
Configuration Locked The Configuration Locked flag is set, if the communication channel firmware has locked
(Bit 3) the configuration database against being overwritten. Re-initializing the channel is not
allowed in this state.
Configuration New (Bit 4) The Configuration New flag is set by the protocol stack to indicate that a new
configuration became available, which has not been activated. This flag may be set
together with the Restart Required flag.
Restart Required (Bit 5) The Restart Required flag is set when the channel firmware requests to be restarted.
This flag is used together with the Restart Required Enable flag below. Restarting the
channel firmware may become necessary, if a new configuration was downloaded from
the host application or if a configuration upload via the network took place.
Restart Required Enable The Restart Required Enable flag is used together with the Restart Required flag above.
(Bit 6) If set, this flag enables the execution of the Restart Required command in the netX
firmware.

Communication State (Master and Slave)

The communication state field contains information regarding the current
network status of the communication channel of the remote network.
Depending on the implementation of the protocol stack of the remote
network, all or a subset of the definitions below is supported.
Status Value
Unknown 0
Offline 1
Stop 2
Idle 3
Operate 4
Communication Channel Error (Master and Slave)

This field holds the current error code of the communication channel of the
remote network. If the cause of error is resolved, the communication error
field is set to zero again.
All values different from 0 indicate that an error has occurred.
Errors may be signaled either from the operating system rcX or from the
used protocol.
Number of Configured Slaves (Master)

The firmware maintains a list of slaves within the remote network to which
the master has to open a connection. This list is derived from the
configuration database created by SYCON.net. This field holds the number
of configured slaves.
Error Count (Master and Slave)

This field holds the total number of errors detected since power-up within
the remote network, respectively after reset. The protocol stack counts all
sorts of errors in this field no matter if they were network related or caused
internally. After power cycling, reset or channel initialization this counter is
being cleared again.
Error Log Indicator (Master and Slave)

Note: This field is not yet supported.

Number of Faulted Slaves (Master)

If a slave of the remote network encounters a problem, it can provide an
indication of the new situation to the master in certain Fieldbus systems. As
long as those indications are pending and not serviced, this field holds a
value unequal to zero. If no more diagnostic information is pending, the
field is set to zero.
Host Watchdog (Master and Slave)

Slave Error Log Indicator (Master)

Slave State (Master)

The slave state field indicates whether the master of the remote network is
in cyclic data exchange to all configured slaves. In case there is at least
one slave missing or if the slave has a diagnostic request pending, the
status is set to FAILED. For protocols that support non-cyclic
communication only, the slave state is set to OK as soon as a valid
configuration is found.
Status Value
Undefined 0
Ok 1
Failed 2
Version (Master and Slave)

The version field holds the version number of this structure. The value is 1.
Watchdog Timeout (Master and Slave)

This field holds the configured watchdog timeout value of the protocol stack
of the remote network. The value is specified in milliseconds.

4.5 Memory Card Management

Note: This function is only available for netTAP NT 100 and
NT 151-RE-RE devices, because only they have an MMC card slot.
In the Memory Card management pane you can:

4.10.2.1 For what does the Command Table serve?
For the Open Modbus/TCP Client the Command Table is a list with
The Command Table is only relevant, if a device works as Client on the
Open Modbus/TCP.
From every command line the Open Modbus/TCP Client produces a
telegram for reading or for the writing of data to or from an Open
Modbus/TCP Server device. For every command are indicated:
• the Open Modbus/TCP Server device address (Device Address),
• the Unit identifier (to identify a remote Server via gateway),
• the Function code,
• the data address in the Open Modbus/TCP Server device (Address),
• the number of data (Number of Registers/Coils),
• and the data address in the Open Modbus/TCP Client device (Memory
Address (internal)).
For writing telegrams (FC 5, 6, 15 and 16) in the column
• Trigger
you can decide, whether the writing telegrams are executed every time
(Cyclic) or only at data modification (Change data).
Furthermore
• a Cycle Time
can be set for every command.
The Command Table is processed from the first to the last entry (from
above to below). After the execution of the last command the execution of
the first command is started again.
For reading commands the Open Modbus/TCP Client reads out data from
the Open Modbus/TCP Server and saves them into its data memory.
For writing commands the Open Modbus/TCP Client reads out data from its
data memory and writes them into the Open Modbus/TCP Server.
The number of commands which can be defined depends from the
firmware and from the Dual-Port Memory layout.
For Open Modbus one connection per IP address is established. In
maximum 16 Client connections can be supported. In this case the
parameter Open Server Sockets must be set from 4 (Default) to 0.

FC16 = 123 (Registers)
Memory Byte address in the process image of the Open Modbus/TCP Client 0 … 5759
Address device for input or output data of the Client Default: 0
(internal) The configuration software calculates the byte address in the
process image of the Client for the input or for the output data
automatically. Because of this definition, for function codes for
reading (FC 1, 2, 3 and 4) the data are assigned consecutively in
the process image for input data and for function codes for writing
(FC 5, 6, 15 and 16) the data are assigned consecutively in the
process image for output data.

Trigger Defines for all function codes for writing (FC 5, 6, 15 and 16); if the 0 = Cyclic
command is to be executed cyclically (Cyclic) or only if the data 1 = Changed Data
have changed (Change Data). Default: „Cyclic“
For function codes for reading (FC 1, 2, 3 und 4) this parameter is
not used.
Cycle Time The cycle time defines, after how many milliseconds a writing or a 0, 10, 20, 30, … 60.000
reading command shall be reexecuted. ms
The default value „0 ms“ means, that the command is executed as Default: 0 ms
fast as possible. Otherwise the execution can be defined in steps of
10 ms.
With the cycle time the temporal execution of the command can be
influenced.
If since the last execution of the command the set cycle time or
more time has been passed, the command is reexecuted.
If since the last execution of the command less time has been
passed then the cycle time, the command is skipped.
If e. g. from a Open Modbus/TCP Server data are required only
every 10 seconds, as these one change only slowly, then for the
cycle time enter 10.000 ms.
Delay Between the single commands a delay time can be parameterized. 0 … 60.000 ms
This sometimes is necessary to avoid a too high load of the Default: 0
connected Server devices by a continuous communication.
0: The commands are processed without delay.
1 … 60.000 ms: Delay time in ms, the Open Modbus/TCP Client
waits, before starting the next command.

4.10.3 Open Modbus/TCP Server

Settings at the used Open Modbus/TCP Client
In order that the Open Modbus/TCP Client can communicate with the
netTAP or netBRICK device as an Open Modbus/TCP Server:
 Enter at the Open Modbus/TCP Client the IP address of the netTAP or
netBRICK device.
 Use at the Open Modbus/TCP Client port number 502 an. Port 502 is
used by the netTAP or netBRICK device to receive and send Open
Modbus telegrams.
 Use at the Open Modbus/TCP Client function code 1, 2, 3, 4 or 23* to
read data from the netTAP or netBRICK device. The following
description shows the data assignment. (* function code 23 also writes
data into the device).
 Use at the Open Modbus/TCP Client function code 5, 6, 15, 16 or 23* to
write data into the netTAP or netBRICK device. The following
description shows the data assignment. (* function code 23 also reads
data from the device).
The Open Modbus/TCP Client can access to the netTAP or netBRICK
device as an Open Modbus/TCP Server using function codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 15, 16 and 23.
Figure 122: Access of the Open Modbus/TCP Client to the netTAP and netBRICK Device
Registers (16 bit value) and coils (1 bit value) share the same memory for
input data (IN). Registers (16 bit value) and coils (1 bit value) share the
same memory for output data (OUT). The following tables (Table 25 and
Table 30) show the data assignment.

Adressing types of Open Modbus/TCP Clients

Open Modbus/TCP Clients of different manufacturers use different
addressing types. The modicon-based addressing is very popular. Other
Open Modbus/TCP Clients use a zero-based addressing and again other
Open Modbus/TCP Clients use one-based addressing.
Note: Read the documentation of the used Open Modbus/TCP Client to
find out the used addressing of this system.
Modicon-based addressing: If function code 3, 6, 16 and 23 is used, the

first register (16 bit value) has address 40001, the second register has
address 40002 etc. If function code 4 is used, the first register has address
30001, the second register has address 30002 etc. If function code 1, 5 and
15 is used, the first coil (1 bit value) has address 1, the second coil has
address 2 etc. If function code 2 is used, the first coil has address 10001,
the second coil has address 10002 etc.
The following table shows the address assignment for registers and coils
for modicon-based Open Modbus/TCP Clients. The setting “Map FC 1 and
FC 3” is not set in the configuration of the netTAP or netBRICK device in
this case.

4.23.2 Modbus RTU Master

4.23.2.1 For what the Command Table does serve?
For the Modbus RTU Master the Command Table is a list with commands
for the reading or writing of data.
The Command Table is only relevant, if a device works as Master on the
Modbus RTU.
From every command line the Modbus RTU Master produces a telegram
for reading or for the writing of data to or from a Modbus RTU Slave device.
For every command are indicated:
• the Modbus RTU Slave device address (Device Address),
• the Function code,
• the data address in the Modbus RTU Slave device (Address),
• the number of data (Number of Registers/Coils),
• and the data address in the Modbus RTU Master device (Memory
Address (internal)).
For writing telegrams (FC 5, 6, 15 and 16) in the column
• Trigger
you can decide, whether the writing telegrams are executed every time
(Cyclic) or only at data modification (Change data).
Furthermore
• a Cycle Time
can be set for every command.
The Command Table is processed from the first to the last entry (from
above to below). After the execution of the last command the execution of
the first command is started again.
For reading commands the Modbus RTU Master reads out data from the
Modbus RTU Slave and saves them into its data memory.
For writing commands the Modbus RTU Master reads out data from its data
memory and writes them into the Modbus RTU Slave.
The number of commands which can be defined depends from the
firmware and from the Dual-Port Memory layout.

4.23.2.2 Parameter of the Command Table
Figure 124: Pane Command Table
Each command contains the following parameters:

Parameter Description
Device Address Modbus RTU Slave device address
Unit Identifier (not relevant here)

3 4 10004 30004 40004
4 5 10005 30005 40005
… … … … …
To know, which data address with which data of

the Modbus RTU Slave devices is provided for
reading or for writing, refer to the device description
of the Modbus RTU Slave device manufacturer.
Number of Indicates the number of reading or writing data as registers or coils. 1 … max. value, Default: 1
Registers/Coils The maximum value depends from the function code. max. value for
FC1 = 2000 (Coils),
FC2 = 2000 (Coils),
FC5 = 1 (Coils),
FC15 = 1968 (Coils),
FC16 = 123 (Registers)
Memory Byte address in the process image of the Modbus RTU Master 0 … 5759
Address device for input or output data of the Master Default: 0
(internal) The configuration software calculates the byte address in the
process image of the Master for the input or for the output data
automatically. Because of this definition, for function codes for
reading (FC 1, 2, 3 and 4) the data are assigned consecutively in
the process image for input data and for function codes for writing
(FC 5, 6, 15 and 16) the data are assigned consecutively in the
process image for output data.

Trigger Defines for all function codes for writing (FC 5, 6, 15 and 16); if the 0 = Cyclic
command is to be executed cyclically (Cyclic) or only if the data 1 = Changed Data
have changed (Change Data). Default: „Cyclic“
For function codes for reading (FC 1, 2, 3 und 4) this parameter is
not used.
Cycle Time The cycle time defines, after how many milliseconds a writing or a 0, 10, 20, 30, … 60.000
reading command shall be reexecuted. ms
The default value „0 ms“ means, that the command is executed as Default: 0 ms
fast as possible. Otherwise the execution can be defined in steps of
10 ms.
With the cycle time the temporal execution of the command can be
influenced.
If since the last execution of the command the set cycle time or
more time has been passed, the command is reexecuted.
If since the last execution of the command less time has been
passed then the cycle time, the command is skipped.
If e. g. from a Modbus RTU Slave data are required only every 10
seconds, as these one change only slowly, then for the cycle time
enter 10.000 ms.
Delay Between the single commands a delay time can be parameterized. 0 … 60.000 ms
This sometimes is necessary to avoid a too high load of the Default: 0
connected Slave devices by a continuous communication.
0: The commands are processed without delay.
1 … 60.000 ms: Delay time in ms, the Modbus RTU Master waits,
before starting the next command.

4.23.2.3 Adding/removing Command

4.23.2.5 Examples Modbus RTU Reading or Writing Command
Example Reading Command with FC 3: From the Modbus RTU Slave

device with the Modbus address 8 from data address 40011 onwards 12
registers are read by function code 3. The data are assigned to the memory
address(internal) 0.
Example Writing Command with FC 16: To the Modbus RTU Slave with the
Modbus address 8 from data address 40031 onwards 12 registers are
written by function code 16. The data are read from the process image of
the Master from the memory address(internal) 0 onwards. The writing
process is only performed, if the data in the process image of the Master on
the memory addresses(internal) 0 to 3 have changed, as the parameter
trigger is set to 'changed'.

4.23.2.6 Settings for Modbus RTU Slaves
Note: The settings in the used Modbus RTU Slaves must comply with the
settings in the netTAP or netBRICK device as Modbus RTU Master to
establish a communication. Important parameters are: Modbus RTU
address, baud rate, number of stop bits and parity setting.

4.23.3 Modbus RTU Slave

4.23.3.1 Settings at the used Modbus RTU Master

same memory for output data (OUT). The following tables (Table 55 to
Table 60) show the data assignment.

Addressing types of Modbus RTU Master

Modbus RTU Master of different manufacturers use different addressing
types. The modicon-based addressing is very popular. Other Modbus RTU
Master use a zero-based addressing and again other Modbus RTU Master
use one-based addressing.
Note: Read the documentation of the used Modbus RTU Master to find
out the used addressing type.
Modicon-based addressing: If function code 3, 6, 16 and 23 is used, the

first register (16 bit value) has address 40001, the second register has
address 40002 etc. If function code 4 is used, the first register has address
30001, the second register has address 30002 etc. If function code 1, 5 and
15 is used, the first coil (1 bit value) has address 1, the second coil has

4.25 Configuration ASCII

ASCII (= American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a coding
for characters. ASCII is denoted a communication for serial data exchange
here and is usually a human readable code and
This type of communication contains however less definitions for the
detailed communication procedure. Many manufacturer specific
implementations exist.
Basic functions are send and receive of exactly one specified telegram.
The functionality depicted here for send and receive of telegrams can be
used when one of the following condition is fulfilled:
• The send telegram has a fixed structure
• The receive telegram has a fixed structure
• The polling telegram (send telegram without data) has a fixed structure
and the receive telegram has a fixed structure
• The polling telegram (send telegram with data) has a fixed structure and
the receive telegram has a fixed structure
The structure of the serial send and receive telegram is specified by
configuration. The part of the telegram marked as user data is transferred
unchanged with a superordinated memory. For this data exchange a
handshake mechanism has to be used.
ASCII should not be used, when

• different telegram structures for send telegrams or
• different telegram structures for receive telegrams or
• communication procedures with more complexity are to be used or
• the user data needs to be evaluated, processed respectively converted
Then use 'Serial with netSCRIPT'. With 'Serial with netSCRIPT' it can be
reached by programming (script)
• that user data is evaluated, processed respectively converted,
• more complex communication procedures and,
• different telegram structures
can be realized.

4.25.2.1 Telegram Structure in Data Stream

A send or receive telegram in the simplest case only consists only by user
data. Many implementations however add to the user data further
characters which have a certain meaning, such as a start character, an end
character, a checksum or a device address.
A typical telegram structure is e. g.

Start D a t a Checksum End
with for example (in hexadecimal notation):
[0x02] [0x38][0x33][0x33][0x37][0x38][0x30][0x33][0x37][0x36][0x33] [0x69][0xA5] [0x03]

• Server Mode (first receive, then send)

4.25.2.4 ‘Send Only’ Mode
Basic Principle
In the 'Send Only' mode the device only sends. The remote device only
receives. The superordinated control unit has to use a handshake to
transfer the data to the device.
Communication
The send operation can be triggered from the superordinated control unit or
performed by the device cyclically.
• triggered
With each handshake of the superordinated control unit a telegram is send.

For this, set the timing parameter Send Cycle Time to zero.
• Cyclic
The device sends in a constant cycle.
With each handshake of the superordinated control unit the send data
initially are updated in the internal buffer of the device and sent during the
next send cycle. For this, set the timing parameter Send Cycle Time to the
cycle time (unequal to zero).

4.25.2.6 Client Mode (First Send, Then Receive)
Basic Principle
In the 'Client Mode' the device sends a telegram to the remote device. The
remote device then sends a telegram which is received by the device.
By this a polling (querying) of the remote devices can be performed. The
device can send a polling telegram with or without user data.
The superordinated control unit must activate the send operation by

handshake. The superordinated control unit must acknowledge each
reception by handshake.
Communication
The send operation can be triggered or performed cyclically.

With each handshake of the superordinated control unit a telegram is send.
For this, set the timing parameter Send Cycle Time to zero.
The remote device then sends a telegram which is received by the device.
The device can monitor the beginning of the receive telegram by time
monitoring via the Response Timeout parameter.
The superordinated control unit must activate the send operation by
handshake. The superordinated control unit must acknowledge each
reception by handshake.
• Cyclic
The device sends in a constant cycle.
With each handshake of the host the send data initially are updated in the
internal buffer and sent during the next sending cycle. For this, set the
timing parameter Send Cycle Time to the cycle time (unequal to zero).
The remote device then sends a telegram which is received by the device.
The device can monitor the beginning of the receive telegram by time
monitoring via the Response Timeout parameter.

PROFINET IO read record is converted to PROFIBUS DPV1 read. The
data of the PROFIBUS DP Slaves are forwarded unchanged to the
PROFINET IO Controller.
PROFINET IO write record is converted to PROFIBUS DPV1 write. The
data to be written are forwarded unchanged to the PROFIBUS DP slave.
A positive confirmation to the PROFINET IO Controller means, that the
PROFIBUS DP Master in the proxy device has received a positive
confirmation from the PROFIBUS DP slave.

Error Detection and Error Codes

The following figure shows where an error detection is possible.
Figure 132: PROFINET IO – PROFIBUS DP Read/Write Error Detection
Errors detected in the proxy device (PROFINET IO device), are reported as

normal PROFINET IO errors to the controller.
Errors detected in the proxy device, which are not addressing errors, are
reported with error code 0xDE80AABB to the PROFINET IO controller.
All errors, except addressing errors, which are detected on PROFIBUS
(master or slave) are reported with error code 0xDE80AABB to the
PROFINET IO controller.
Error detection by the proxy device for read/write record:

The following error codes can occur:
Error Code Definition, Descrption
0xDE80B000 DE = IODReadRes; negative response of a read request
80 = PNIORW; User Error
B0 = invalid index
invalid index for a read request.
0xDE80B200 DE = IODReadRes; negative response of a read request
B2 = invalid slot / sub slot (invalid slave address)
invalid slot or sub slot
0xDF80B200 Invalid slave address for a write request.
0xDE80AABB DE = IODReadRes; negative response of a read request
AA = user spezific

Extended PROFIBUS diagnostic are mapped to PROFINET IO diagnostic
with UserStructID 0x2000+x.
PROFIBUS diagnostic alarms are mapped to PROFINET IO diagnostic with
UserStructID 0x4000+x.
PROFIBUS DPV1 parameter services are not transfered to PROFINET IO
and via versa.
Note: Had a PROFIBUS DP slave device generated a pull alarm once and
this device/module goes into communication again, then a manual reset to
the proxy device is necessary (by a short disconnect of the power supply
by example) to force the prxy device to reload the configuration data.
Was the PROFIBUS DP slave device removed only from the PROFIBUS,
without a generation of a pull alarm, then the communication start
automatically if the PROFIBUS DP slave device is reconnected to
PROFIBUS.
Note: If a PROFIBUS DP slave device generates a plug alarm (a new

device/module was added to PROFIBUS), then the proxy device has to be
reconfigured with new configuration data by the user.

Acyclic Communication of Gateway Devices 266/318
8 Acyclic Communication of Gateway Devices

8.1 Overview
This chapter relates to the following devices:
Device Name in SYCON.net device Protocol conversion / firmware
catalog
NT 100-RE-EN NT 100-XX-XX PROFINET IO Device to EtherNet/IP
Scanner
Table 87: Acyclic Communication of Gateway Devices
Besides cyclic data exchange, the netTAP NT 100 gateway also supports
acyclic communication for some protocol conversions.
In cyclic communication, small packages of I/O data (“process data”) are
exchanged at regular intervals with high-priority; in acyclic
communication on the other hand, (in most cases) bigger data packages
are being sent on special occasions, such as configuration download or
slave diagnosis.
The figure below shows the handling of cyclic and acyclic data flow via
gateway:
Figure 134: Acyclic Gateway Communication

In most Master/Slave applications, an acyclic data service is initiated by the

PLC of the primary network. The acyclic message is being transposed and
then forwarded to the secondary network by the gateway. After the service
has been processed by the secondary network, the returned result is stored
in the gateway, and the PLC can read the result from there.
Because the acyclic services of the different automation protocols are
based on different record addressing models, and may also have different
timing requirements, they cannot be converted directly from one protocol
into another. The conversion therefore uses read- and writeable objects
within the gateway controlling the acyclic data transfer of the secondary
protocol (for information about the objects valid for your protocol, see
corresponding section Gateway with Protocol Conversion […] below in this
chapter).
The acyclic task, which the PLC writes into the acyclic object in the
gateway, contains routing information, i. e. the address of the slave in the
secondary network, the service type (read/write) and the target path within
the slave device. In case of a writing task, the message also contains the
payload data to be written into the slave.
The routing information unambiguously identifies the target device of the
acyclic task for the secondary protocol, thus enabling the gateway to
forward the task to the secondary protocol. The gateway then waits for the
response and writes the result (which might also contain payload data read
from the target device) to the object. From there it can be read by the
initiator (i. e. the PLC) of the acyclic service.
The gateway stores each task per object as a so-called Message Record.
For each Message Record, the processing state of the task (Request
State) is also recorded in a Status Register linked to the Message Record.
Message Record and Status Register together form an entity which is
called Acyclic Channel in this document. An acyclic channel always
occupies two objects in the gateway. Depending on the protocol
conversion, several acyclic channels are supported and can be addressed
and activated for services simultaneously.

8.2 Request States

The values of the Request States recorded in the Status Register are
valid for all protocol conversions and are as follows:
Value Request State Description
0 MSG_STATE_INIT The Acyclic Channel has just been initialized and no request has
been made yet
1 MSG_STATE_IDLE The Acyclic Channel has completed previous request and is ready
to process next one
2 MSG_STATE_REQ_SENT The PLC has written a request to be forwarded through this
channel. Any following writes to the Message Record will be
ignored, because the channel can handle only one request at a time
3 MSG_STATE_RSP_REQUESTED The PLC has sent a read request of the Message Record and the
channel is waiting for secondary network reply
4 MSG_STATE_RSP_RECEIVED The secondary network has replied to the acyclic request and the
channel is waiting for the PLC to read the Message Record
Table 88: Request States in Acyclic Communication

8.3 Sequence of a Reading Task

This section describes the typical sequence of events of an error-free
acyclic reading task for a slave device in the secondary network (see also
diagram on following page):
1 The PLC sends the task to the gateway, where it is stored in the
Message Record of the acyclic channel and forwarded to the slave in
the secondary network.
2 The gateway sets the Request State in the Status Register of the
acyclic channel to value 2 and sends back an acknowledge message to
the PLC.
The slave executes the requested reading task.
3 The PLC queries the state of the request at regular intervals (“status
polling”) by reading the Status Register of the acyclic channel in the
gateway. As long as the gateway has not yet received the answer from
the slave, the Status Register is returning Request State 2.
Note: Instead of polling the Status Register, the PLC can read the
Message Record directly, expecting that the answer from the slave has
already arrived at the gateway and can be read from there. If the answer
from the slave has not yet arrived at the gateway at the time of the PLC
reading the Message Record, the Request State in the Status
Register is set to value 3 and the reply from the gateway to the PLC is
stalled until the answer from the slave arrives.
4 The answer from the slave arrives at the gateway where it is stored in
the Message Record of the acyclic channel. The gateway sets the
Request State in the Status Register to value 4.
5 The PLC reads the Status Register again and the gateway returns
Request State 4 to the PLC. The PLC now knows that the answer from
the slave has arrived and that the requested data can be read from the
Message Record.
6 The PLC now reads the requested data from the Message Record of
the acyclic channel. In case the slave reported an error in step 4, the
PLC can now react to the error message.
7 The gateway resets the Request State to value 1. The acyclic channel
is now ready to process a new request.

8.4 Sequence of a Writing Task

Message Record of the acyclic channel and forwarded to the slave in

acyclic channel to value 2 and sends back an acknowledge message to
the PLC.
The slave executes the requested writing task.
3 The PLC queries the state of the request at regular intervals (“status
polling”) by reading the Status Register of the acyclic channel in the
gateway. As long as the gateway has not yet received a response from
the slave, the Status Register is returning Request State 2.
Note: Instead of polling the Status Register, the PLC can read the
Message Record directly, expecting that the response from the slave
has already arrived at the gateway and can be read from there. If the
response from the slave has not yet arrived at the gateway at the time
of the PLC reading the Message Record, the Request State in the
Status Register is set to value 3 and the reply from the gateway to the
PLC is stalled until the response from the slave arrives.
4 The response from the slave arrives at the gateway where it is stored in
the Message Record of the acyclic channel. The gateway sets the
Request State in the Status Register to value 4.
5 The PLC reads the Status Register again and the gateway returns
Request State 4 to the PLC. The PLC now knows that the response
from the slave has arrived and can be read from the Message Record.
6 The PLC now reads the response from the Message Record of the
acyclic channel. In case the slave reported an error in step 4, the PLC
can now react to the error message.

8.5 Gateway with Protocol Conversion PROFINET IO-Device

to EtherNet/IP Scanner
8.5.1 Overview
The PROFINET standard prescribes a record addressing model using Slot,
Subslot and Index for read and write services. The data content of these
so-called Records can be accessed by Read/Write Data Record services.
The objects of an acyclic channel in the gateway must be addressed via
these records.
Slot 0, Subslot 1 in the gateway is reserved for the Acyclic Channels.
The value of the Index specifies an individual acyclic channel. Two
consecutive Indices together form the object pair of one acyclic channel (e.
g. 1/2, 3/4, 1001/1002 etc.). The Index with the uneven number stores
the Message Record (i. e. routing information, service type and payload
data), the following Index with an even number denotes the Status
Register recording the Request State of the corresponding acyclic task
(see table Request States in Acyclic Communication on page 268).
Up to 255 acyclic channels (and thus parallel services) can be handled
simultaneously by the gateway. The values of the index pairs intended for
establishing an acyclic channel can be freely chosen within the range of 1
to 65534 (e. g. 1/2, 3/4…65533/65534 are possible, index 0 and 65535
are not available).
Figure 137: Acyclic Communication PROFINET IO-Device to Ethernet/IP Scanner

In order to initiate an acyclic service (write or read task) for an EtherNet/IP

Adapter, the PROFINET PLC sends a Write Data Record (WRREC)
request to Slot 0, Subslot 1 and an uneven Index (e. g. 1, 3, 1201 etc.)
in the gateway.
In order to then “read” the state of the acyclic task or the answer itself, the
PROFINET PLC afterwards sends a Read Data Record (RDREC) request
to the gateway, also addressed at Slot 0, Subslot 1. In case the PLC
wants to read the Request State, it has to address its RDREC to the even
Index denoting the Status Register (e. g. 2, 4, 1202 etc.); in case the
PLC wants to read the answer received from the EtherNet/IP Adapter
(given that it has already arrived), the PLC has to address its RDREC to the
uneven Index denoting the Message Record (e. g. 1, 3, 1201 etc.).

8.5.2 Reading Data from an EtherNet/IP Adapter

8.5.2.1 Sequence of a Reading Task
acyclic read request for an EtherNet/IP Adapter (see also diagram on
following page):
1 The PROFINET PLC sends a Write Data Record (WRREC) to Slot 0,

Subslot 1 and an uneven Index number (1 or 3 or 5 etc) in the
gateway. The gateway stores (“writes”) the task in the Message
Record of the acyclic channel and synchronously forwards the task as
“unconnected message” to the EtherNet/IP Adapter.
The gateway sends back a WRREC ACK (acknowledgement) to the
PLC and sets the Request State in the Status Register of the acyclic
channel to value 2.
acyclic channel to value 2 and sends back a WRREC ACK
(acknowledgement) to the PLC.
The EtherNet/IP Adapter executes the requested reading task.
3 The PROFINET PLC queries the state of the task at regular intervals by
sending a Read Data Record (RDREC) to the Status Register of the
acyclic channel in the gateway (“status polling”). As long as the gateway
has not yet received the answer from the EtherNet/IP Adapter, the
Status Register is returning Request State 2.
Note: Instead of polling the Status Register, the PLC can send a
RDREC directly to the Message Record, expecting that the answer
from the EtherNet/IP Adapter has already arrived at the gateway and
can be read from there. If the answer from the Adapter has not yet
arrived at the gateway at the time of the PLC reading the Message
Record, the Request State in the Status Register is set to value 3 and
the RDREC REPLY from the gateway to the PLC is stalled until the
answer from the Adapter arrives.
Note that if the EtherNet/IP Adapter is slow, the RDREC of the Message
Record might get timed-out. Therefore “status polling” should be done
before reading the Message Record.
4 The answer from the EtherNet/IP Adapter arrives at the gateway where
it is stored in the Message Record of the acyclic channel. The gateway
sets the Request State in the Status Register to value 4.
5 The PROFINET PLC again sends a Read Data Record (RDREC) to
the Status Register, and the gateway now returns Request State 4.
The PLC now knows that the answer from the slave has arrived and
that the requested data can be read from the Message Record.
6 The PLC now sends a Read Data Record (RDREC) to the Message
Record of the acyclic channel in order to read the slave data.

acyclic channel to value 2 and sends back a WRREC ACK
(acknowledgement) to the PLC. The EtherNet/IP Adapter executes the
requested writing task.
3 The PROFINET PLC queries the state of the task at regular intervals by
sending a Read Data Record (RDREC) to the Status Register of the
acyclic channel in the gateway (“status polling”). As long as the
gateway has not yet received the response from the EtherNet/IP
Adapter, the Status Register is returning Request State 2.
Note: Instead of polling the Status Register, the PLC can send a
RDREC directly to the Message Record, expecting that the response
from the EtherNet/IP Adapter has already arrived at the gateway and
can be read from there. If the response from the Adapter has not yet
arrived at the gateway at the time of the PLC reading the Message
Record, the Request State in the Status Register is set to value 3 and
the RDREC REPLY from the gateway to the PLC is stalled until the
response from the Adapter arrives.
Note that if the EtherNet/IP Adapter is slow, the RDREC of the Message
Record might get timed-out. Therefore “status polling” should be done
before reading the Message Record.
4 The response from the EtherNet/IP Adapter containing a status

message arrives at the gateway, where it is stored in the Message
Record of the acyclic channel. The gateway sets the Request State in
the Status Register to value 4.
5 The PROFINET PLC again sends a Read Data Record (RDREC) to
the Status Register, and the gateway now returns Request State 4.
The PLC now knows that the response from the slave has arrived and
can be read from the Message Record.
6 The PLC now sends a Read Data Record (RDREC) to the Message
Record of the acyclic channel in order to read the response. In case
the EtherNet/IP Adapter reported an error in step 4, the PLC now
receives an error code in the Status field of the RDREC REPLY and
can react accordingly.

9.1 Error Code Definition
For COM based application, like the ODM Server and ODM drivers, a
common error definition is used, similar to the Microsoft Windows®
HRESULT definition.
Error Code Structure:
COM Errors are HRESULTs, which are 32 bit values using the following
layout:
3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+---+-+-+-----------------------+-------------------------------+
|Sev|C|R| Facility | Code |
+---+-+-+-----------------------+-------------------------------+
where
Sev - is the severity code:
00 - Success
01 - Informational
10 - Warning
11 - Error
C - is the Customer code flag
R - is a reserved bit
Facility - is the facility code
Code - is the facility's status code
In this common error definition, several error code regions are already
reserved by Windows® itself, the ODM and some other modules.

CSP
electronic device data sheet, required for each CC-Link device
A file containing configuration information about a device being a part of a
network that can be read out by masters for system configuration. Device
Description Files use various formats which depend on the communication
system. Often these formats are based on XML such as EDS_files or
GSDML_files. Contains configuration information
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
This is a protocol simplifying the configuration of IP networks by
automatically assigning IP addresses.

Rockwell. It partly uses the CIP (Common Industrial Protocol).

Appendix 314/318
EtherNet/IP Scanner
A Scanner exchanges real-time I/O data with Adapters and Scanners. This
type of node can respond to connection requests and can also initiate
connections on its own.
EtherNet/IP Adapter
An Adapter emulates functions provided by traditional rack-adapter
products. This type of node exchanges real-time I/O data with a Scanner
Class product. It does not initiate connections on its own.
Ethernet POWERLINK
B&R. It partly uses CANopen technologies.
FDT
Field Device Tool
FDT specifies an interface, in order to be able to use DTM (Device Type
Manager) in different applications of different manufacturers.
Full duplex
Full duplex denominates a telecommunication system between two
communication partners which allows simultaneous communication in both
directions is called a full-duplex telecommunication system. At such a
system, it is possible to transmit data even if currently data are received.
Full-duplex is the opposite of Half_duplex.
Function code
A function code (in the meaning defined by Modbus terminology) is a
standardized method to access (i.e. read or write) coils or registers via
Modbus.
Gateway
A device interfacing between two different communication standards.
GSD
Generic Station Description, Device description file
GSD file
A special kind of Device Description File used by PROFIBUS (GSD =
Generic Station Description).
GSDML
Generic Station Description Markup Language
XML based device description file.
GSDML file
A special kind of XML-based Device Description File used by PROFINET.
Half duplex
Half duplex denominates a telecommunication system between two
communication partners which does not allow simultaneous, but
alternating, communication in both directions is called a half-duplex
telecommunication system. At such a system, receiving data inhibits the
transmission of data. Half-duplex is the opposite of _Full_duplex.

Appendix 315/318
Hub
A network component connecting multiple communication partners with
each other. A hub does not provide own intelligence, thus it does not
analyze the data traffic and sends received data to all connected
communication partners. A hub can be used for setting up a star topology.
Industrial Ethernet
See Real-Time Ethernet
Master
Master devices initiate the data traffic on the bus. In the communication
protocol Master devices are called active participants. A master may send
messages without external request.

A PROFINET field device that cyclically receives output data from its IO-
Controller and responds with its input data.
RE
RE stands for Real Time Ethernet
Real-Time Ethernet
Real-Time Ethernet (Industrial Ethernet) is an extension of the Ethernet
networking technology for industrial purposes with very good Real-Time
features and performance. There is a variety of different Real-Time
Ethernet systems on the market which are incompatible with each other.
The most important systems of these are
• EtherCAT

Appendix 316/318
• EtherNet/IP
• Ethernet POWERLINK
• Open Modbus/TCP
• PROFINET
• sercos
• VARAN
Register
A register (in the meaning defined by Modbus terminology) is a 16-bit wide
storage area for data which can be accessed and addressed as a unit by
some of the Modbus Function Codes.
sercos
Bosch-Rexroth and supported by sercos International.
Slave
Slave devices are peripheral devices, like for example I/O devices or
drives. Slave devices are also called passive participants. They do not
receive the bus access authorization. That means, they may only accept
received messages from the Master or send a message to the Master after
enquiry of the Master.
Switch
A network component connecting multiple communication partners (or even
entire branches of a network) with each other. A switch is an intelligent
network component which analyzes network traffic in order to decide on its
own. For the connected communication partners a switch behaves
transparently.
SYNC
Sychronisation cycle of the master
TCP/IP
Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol connection-orientated, secure
transfer protocol as basis for the Internet-protocols
VARAN
Versatile Automation Random Access Network
A communication system for industrial Ethernet based on the DIAS-BUS
developed by Sigmatek. The system is supported by the VARAN-BUS-
NUTZERORGANISATION (VNO).
Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer provides an internal supervision mechanism of a
communication system. It supervises that an important event happens
within a given timeframe (the watchdog time which can be adjusted
accordingly, for instance by a parameter in the _Warmstart message) and
causes an alarm otherwise (usually this is accomplished by changing the
operational state of the communication system to a more safe state).
XDD file
A special kind of Device Description file used by Ethernet POWERLINK.

Appendix 317/318
XML
XML means Extended Markup Language. It is a symbolic language for
structuring data systematically. XML is standard maintained by the W3C
(World-wide web consortium). Device Description Files often use XML-
based formats for storing the device-related data appropriately.
