1. EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device

1.1 Introduction
The EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device is used to provide a seamless connection between a
Modbus-TCP network and an EtherNet/IP network. The linking device enables the master of the Eth-
erNet/IP network to control the Modbus-TCP network, and data can be transmitted transparently be-
tween the two networks.

1.1.1 Unique Integration into Studio 5000

The EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP linking device features a custom add-on profile (AOP) for easy in-
tegration with Studio 5000. Within this add-on profile (AOP), the HMS configuration tool can be
launched. When the configuration is ready, it can automatically be translated to structured Studio 5000
controller tags.
All network and device level configuration is done within Studio 5000.
IMPORTANT:
The add-on profile is supported by RSLogix 5000, v20 and later.

1.2 Configuring the EtherNet/IP Network

The Linking Device is an EtherNet/IP adapter (slave) on the EtherNet/IP network. The general set-
tings for the adapter interface are configured using the configuration pages. All data transfers must be
configured in Studio 5000. Please note that the size of the I/O data that can be read from and written
to the module is defined when configuring the linking device using the configuration pages.

1.3 Functional Overview

Internally, the linking device consists of an intelligent gateway platform, a Modbus-TCP interface and
an EtherNet/IP (slave) interface. The Modbus-TCP interface and the EtherNet/IP (slave) interface are
interconnected through the intelligent gateway platform, which basically forwards data from one net-
work to the other and vice versa as shown below.

1.4 Data Exchange

Each of the two network interfaces exchanges data on its network through two buffers. The linking de-
vice forwards the data between these buffers as shown below. Note that this process is separated from
the network data exchange. While the linking device ensures data consistency (where applicable), it does
not feature any built-in mechanisms for synchronization between the Modbus-TCP network and the
EtherNet/IP network.

Modbus-TCP network

Network the Modbus-TCP

Industrial network

Modbus-TCP Network Interface Industrial Network Interface

Control Word
Data From
the Modbus-TCP Data to
Network the Modbus-TCP
Network

Each buffer holds a maximum of 4096 bytes of data. The first two I/O mapped bytes in either direction
can be dedicated for control/status information, and another eight bytes of data coming from the Mod-
bus-TCP network can feature a live list. Please note that the actual number of bytes that can be ex-
changed is highly network dependent.
Through the dedicated control word, the scanner on the EtherNet/IP network starts/stops the ex-
change of data on the Modbus-TCP network, and also resets the linking device if needed. The scanner
on the EtherNet/IP network can see the status of the Modbus-TCP network in the corresponding status
word. The live list feature gives the scanner on the EtherNet/IP network the opportunity to continu-
ously see and monitor the status of each individual transaction on the Modbus-TCP network.
Two additional lists, transaction status and exception codes, retrievable from the module by the scanner
on the EtherNet/IP network, provides detailed error information about all transactions.
The amount of data that shall be exchanged, and the use of the control/status word and the live list, is
specified separately for each application. This means that even though up to 4096 bytes of data can be
potentially forwarded to an interface, the amount of data that will actually be exchanged on that network
is determined by the Modbus-TCP settings and the limitations of the master side fieldbus.
The available control/status functionality is described below, as well as the live list and the transaction
status and exception code lists. Also note that the terminology and definitions used for different types
of data vary greatly between different networking systems.

Doc.Rev. 1.1 Doc.Id. SCM-1202-008
 EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device 10

1.5 I/O Mapped Data

I/O mapped data is cyclic data, exchanged between the networks and/or devices at a high transfer rate.
It is associated with implicit messaging, where data is continuously sent on the network.

1.6 Parameter Data

Parameter data is usually exchanged acyclically to set or change parameters in devices before or during
normal process. Acyclical data is set up as explicit messages using CIP message instructions in Studio
5000.
Typical explicit messages that can be retrieved from the module by the scanner of the EtherNet/IP net-
work includes the transaction status list and the exception code list.

1.7 Control/Status Word

The Control/Status word is always retrievable using acyclical access. Optionally, the Control/Status
word can also be I/O mapped. If so, it is disabled by default. It can be enabled/disabled when config-
uring the EtherNet/IP network via the configuration web pages. See “EtherNet/IP (Adapter Inter-
face)” on page 46.
The Control word is a 16-bit word (uint16) used by the EtherNet/IP network to control the linking de-
vice and subsequently also the Modbus-TCP network.

Bit Value Description

0 (Least signifi- 0 Puts the linking device in idle state
cant bit) 1 Puts the linking device in run state
1 - A reboot of the linking device is triggered by a rising edge, i.e. a transition from 0
to 1
2-7 Set to zero Unused
8-15 Set to zero Unused

The Status word is a 16-bit word used by the linking device to report its current actual status to the Eth-
erNet/IP network.

Bit Value Description

0 (Least signifi- 0 The linking device is in idle state
cant bit) 1 The linking device is in run state
1 - This bit is reflecting the state of bit 1 in the control word
Either 0 or 1
2-7 (reserved) Unused
8-15 (reserved) Unused

 EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device 11

1.8 Live List

The live list features the possibility for the EtherNet/IP network to retrieve a list containing the status
of every transaction on the Modbus-TCP network.
It is accessible using parameter access, and also I/O mapped by default. The I/O mapped live list can
be enabled/disabled when configuring the EtherNet/IP network settings. See “EtherNet/IP (Adapter
Interface)” on page 46. If the I/O mapped live list is enabled, it will occupy either byte 0-7 (control/
status word not enabled) or byte 2-9 (control/status word enabled and mapped to the first two bytes) in
the input data area.
All transactions and their places in the live list are also visible in the Transaction Monitor on the config-
uration web pages.
The live list consists of a bit array with 64 elements, where each bit corresponds to a transaction on the
Modbus-TCP network as in the table below.

Byte 7 Byte 6-1 Byte 0

Bit 63 Bit 62-56 Bit 55-8 Bit 7 Bit 6 - 2 Bit 1 Bit 0
Status of trans- Status of trans- ... Status of trans- Status of trans- Status of trans- Status of trans-
action no 63 action no 62-56 action no 7 action no 6 - 2 action no 1 action no 0

• Bit set to 1
Transaction successful.

• Bit set to 0
Transaction not successful.
Note: the reason for the unsuccessful transaction can be found on the corresponding index in
the transaction status list.
The order of the transactions in the live list conforms to the order in which they are stored in the Mod-
bus Server list.

Example
Consider the following configuration:
• Server 1 : a total of 2 transactions
• Server 2 : a total of 3 transactions
• Server 3 : a total of 1 transaction
This scenario will produce a live list as follows (assuming that the transactions are successful):

Bit 63 Bit 62 - 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0

- - Server 3, Server 2, Server 2, Server 2, Server 1, Server 1,
transaction 1 transaction 3 transaction 2 transaction 1 transaction 2 transaction 1
0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1

1.9 Transaction Status List

This list holds information about the transactions between the Modbus network and the linking device,
from the perspective of the linking device.
It is a list available from the module, which is possibl3e to be retrieved acyclically (using parameter ac-
cess) by the EtherNet/IP network. It contains a byte array with 64 elements, where each byte contains
a transaction status code as in the table below.
The indexes in the transaction status list correspond completely to the indexes in the transaction live list.

1.10 Exception Code List

If Modbus transactions fail, the slaves can respond with an exception code. These can be found in the
exception code list available from the module, possible to be retrieved acyclically (using parameter ac-
cess) by the EtherNet/IP network. It contains a byte array with 64 elements, where each byte contains
an transaction exception code as in the table below. The indexes in the exception code list correspond
completely to the indexes in the transaction live list.

Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2-6 Byte 7 Byte 8-55 Byte 56-62 Byte 63
Exception code Exception code Exception code Exception code Exception code Exception code Exception code

2.2 Mounting the Linking Device

The EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device can be physically installed either by mounting it onto
a DIN-rail or, if installed in areas exposed to vibration, by mounting it on a wall for more stability.

2.2.1 DIN-rail Mounting

Make sure the DIN-rail fastening mechanism on the back of

the module is in a fixed and closed position, i. e. pushed all the
way up.

To mount the module, first hook it on to the DIN-rail (1),

then push it against the DIN-rail to make it snap on (2).

To unmount the module, a screwdriver is needed. Use the

screwdriver to push the DIN-rail fastening mechanism on the
back of the module down until it locks in a fixed and open po-
sition (1). Then unhook the module from the DIN-rail (2).

Note: Do not leave the module with the DIN-rail fastening

mechanism in a fixed and open position. This may eventually
wear the fastening mechanism out so it cannot be used effi-
ciently. Be sure to push the DIN-rail fastening mechanism
back into the fixed and closed position after demounting the
module.

2.2.2 Wall Mounting

Use the wall mounting option if there is a need to place the linking device in an environment exposed
to vibration. This way of mounting the module offers more stability than the traditional DIN-rail mount-
ing.
Note: The device should be fastened in a standing-up position, to ensure a constant air flow.
Note: When mounting the device to a wall using the wall mount option, do not forget to connect the
module to protective earth (PE) via the power connector. See “Power Connector” on page 19.

 SD Card Functionality 27

Chapter 4

4. SD Card Functionality
Using an SD card with the HMS-EN2MB-R linking device adds the following features:
• Easy backup.
Every applied change in the configuration will automatically be saved to the linking device and
the SD card. See “Easy Backup” on page 28.
• Simple configuration copy.
Using the SD card, the configuration on one linking device can be copied to other linking devic-
es. See “Simple Configuration Copy” on page 28.
• Easy replacement.
If a linking device malfunctions during operation, a replacement device can easily be configured
by moving the SD card to the new device. See “Easy Replacement” on page 29.
A configuration on the linking device is saved automatically to the SD card in any of these two events:
• A configuration is applied in the Management section
• A configuration is restored from a backup file

Important
The SD card acts as a master in the linking device. When an device is turned on with an SD card inserted,
and that SD card contains a valid configuration file, the configuration on the SD card will always over-
write any configuration on the linking device.

4.1 General Advice and Guidelines

Turn the power off before inserting or removing an SD card from the linking device.
Do not turn the linking device off while the SD LED indicates that the SD card is being accessed. Refer
to “Status LEDs” on page 17 for more information.
The linking device will not write any data to a write-protected SD card.

EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device

Doc.Rev. 1.1 Doc.Id. SCM-1202-008
 SD Card Functionality 28

4.2 Starting Up
1. Format the SD card for the FAT file system using a PC. The linking device cannot use an unfor-
matted SD card.
2. Make sure the SD card is empty and that it is not write-protected.
3. Turn the linking device off.
4. Insert the SD card into the SD card slot in the linking device.
5. Turn the linking device on.
6. Create the configuration. When finished, press the apply button in the Management section to
reboot using the new configuration. During the reboot, the latest applied configuration will au-
tomatically be copied and saved to the SD card.
7. Now, the SD card is synchronized with the linking device. Both the SD card and the linking de-
vice contain the latest applied configuration.
Every time a new configuration is applied in the Management section, it is also copied to the SD card to
ensure synchronization.

4.3 Easy Backup

Every time a configuration change is applied in the Management section using the configuration web
pages, the configuration is saved to Studio 5000 and the Logix PLC memory, as well as to the linking
device and the SD card. This is the easiest way of keeping a continuously updated configuration backup.

4.4 Simple Configuration Copy

If a configuration on one linking device needs to be copied to one or more other linking devices, it is
easily done using an SD card.
1. Turn the linking device running the desired configuration off.
2. Remove the SD card from the linking device containing the desired configuration and insert it
into another one.
Note 1: The firmware version must be the same or higher in the new linking device.
Note 2: The new linking device must support the same network type as the first linking device.
3. Turn the new linking device on. The new linking device will automatically start up using the con-
figuration found on the SD card.

Important
If the configuration was protected by authentication information, the same information will be needed
to alter the configuration in the new linking device.

 SD Card Functionality 29

4.5 Easy Replacement

If a linking device malfunctions during operation, the SD card functionality makes it easy to get the ap-
plication up and running again fast.
1. Turn the malfunctioning linking device off.
2. Replace the linking device with a new one.
Note 1: The firmware version must be the same or higher in the new linking device.
Note 2: The new linking device must support the same network type as the old linking device.
3. Remove the SD card containing the configuration file from the old linking device and insert it
into the new one.
4. Turn the new linking device on. If the SD card contains a valid configuration file, the linking de-
vice will automatically start up using the configuration found on the SD card.

Important
If the configuration was protected by authentication information, the same information will be needed
to alter the configuration in the new linking device.
Depending on the settings of the master network, the communication link between the linking device
and the master may no longer be valid. Linking Device settings that were configured from outside the
configuration web pages will need to be set again.

 SD Card Functionality 30

4.6 SD Card Synchronization Failure

In the event of applying a configuration or restoring a configuration from a backup file, the SD card
synchronization can fail. There are many possible reasons for an SD card write failure:
• The SD card is write-protected.
• The configuration file on the SD card is write-protected.
• The SD card memory is full.
• The SD card file system is corrupt.
• The SD card is damaged.
If the SD card write process fails, the reboot cycle of the linking device will halt. The GW LED will
indicate “invalid configuration” and the SD LED will indicate “failure”. See “Status LEDs” on page 17.
To eliminate the problem, follow the steps below:
1. Turn the linking device off.
2. Remove the SD card. Find the cause of the problem.
3. Insert an SD card.
Note: This SD card must not contain a configuration file. If it does, the configuration on the SD
card will overwrite the configuration on the linking device.
4. Turn the linking device on. The linking device will run the configuration that was applied or re-
stored when the SD card write process failed.
5. Apply the configuration in the Management section to save the configuration to the SD card.
6. Now, the SD card is synchronized with the linking device. Both the SD card and the linking de-
vice contain the latest applied configuration.

 Modbus-TCP Functions 31

Chapter 5

5. Modbus-TCP Functions
The Modbus-TCP protocol is an implementation of the standard Modbus protocol, running on top of
TCP/IP. The same function codes and addressing model are used.
The HMS-EN2MB-R Linking Device supports a subset of the functions described in the Modbus-TCP
specification.
Modbus-TCP transactions are normally transmitted and received on TCP port no. 502. The linking de-
vice features the possibility to set TCP ports individually for each Modbus-TCP server.
For detailed information regarding the Modbus-TCP protocol, consult the Open Modbus-TCP Specifi-
cation.
The EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device supports the following Modbus-TCP functions:

Modbus Function Function Code No. of Bits/Registersa Direction Associated with Buffer
Read Coils 1 1-2000 Modbus to linking Input buffer
Read Discrete Inputs 2 1-2000 device
Read Holding Registers 3 1-125
Read Input Registers 4 1-125
Write Single Coil 5 1 Linking device to Output buffer
Write Single Register 6 1 Modbus
Write Multiple Coils 15 1-1968
Write Multiple Registers 16 1-123
Read/Write Multiple Registers 23 1-125 read Bidirectional Input and output buffers
1-121 write
a. Please refer to the Modbus Application Protocol Specification V1.1B for more detailed information.

Modbus-TCP functions are used as important parts of transactions to Modbus-TCP servers. After con-
figuring a server within the Modbus-TCP network, functions can be assigned to it by clicking the ‘Add
transaction’ button in the built-in web interface.

When the Modbus configuration manager is closed after configuration, the tag editor will be filled with
resulting Studio 5000 tags.
Tags that are new or altered since last time, will be presented in magenta color.
The “Include” column makes it possible to choose which tags should be exported to the Studio 5000
environment. Only tags that are checked will be exported.

 Tag Editor 36

6.2.1 Tag Arrays

Arranging tags into arrays is a good way to get a better overview of the configuration, since a big con-
figuration may result in a large number of tags.
Creating an array is easy. Writing the array size in the dimension field of the first tag of the array, will
allocate that tag and the following tags to the array. All tags except the first element of the array will then
become uneditable. Original tag names will be remembered by the tag editor.

To remove the array, just set the dimension of the first array element back to 0 (zero).
For even more overview of the configuration, there is the possibility to collapse tags. This will present
a view of the configuration where all arrays are only represented by its first element, according to the
picture below.

Check the check box “Collapse arrays” to collapse arrays. If there is a need to see all individual tags, un-
check the check box.

6.3 Tag Rule Definitions

IMPORTANT:
The default and automatically generated tags will follow and adhere to the rules below. They are only
informative.
When adding process tags (controller tags) to the configuration the following rules must apply:
• The designated memory address of the process tag must be inside the process data area bound-
aries.
• The memory address of the process tag must be divisible by four, for data types DINT or REAL
or a tag whose dimension is above zero.
• The memory address of the process tag must be dividable by two for data type INT.
• Two process tags can not occupy the same memory address area on the EtherNet/IP side.
• Two process tags can address the same memory address on the Modbus-TCP side.
• The designated memory address of the process tag must smaller than or equal to the correspond-
ing designated memory address in the configuration.

7. Modbus Configuration Manager

7.1 General Information

The EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device features built-in configuration pages for easy Mod-
bus configuration. To access the configuration pages, the following system requirements need to be met:
• Javascript enabled

There are things to take into consideration when making the configuration.
• Remember to apply the configuration in order for changes to take effect. See “HMS-EN2MB-R
Management” on page 47. As soon as you have saved data to the configuration but not yet ap-
plied it, you will see the box below at the top of the web pages:

• A maximum of 64 Modbus-TCP servers can be added to the configuration.

• A maximum of 64 transactions can be set up to the servers in the configuration.
• The data limits are 4096 bytes input data and 4096 bytes output data, including optional control/
status word and live list.
• Modbus transactions are assembled in multiple Class 1 Exclusive Owner (IO) Connections, on
the EtherNet/IP side. There are a maximum of 10 available connections (with an associated in-
put and output connection parameter per each) available. Connections will be made as needed.
Transactions will be added to connections in the order they are created in the Modbus configu-
ration manager. If a transaction does not fit into the remaining parts of a connection, it will be
moved to the next connection. The bytes left in the previous connection will then be padded and
left unused. Consequently, take care when creating the Modbus transactions, to optimize the
available memory in the input and output IO areas as much as possible.

7.3 Configuration
Please note that changes made to the configuration will not be used by the linking device until they have
been applied and saved. See “HMS-EN2MB-R Management” on page 47.

7.3.1 Authentication

Authentication can be enabled or disabled. If enabled, it is possible to set a username and password to
protect the configuration.

When choosing a username and a password, use only the valid characters shown below.

Item Valid characters

Username A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ (underscore). Max length: 13 characters.
Password A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ (underscore). Max length: 12 characters.

Important Notice
Note that when restoring a configuration from Studio 5000, or when importing a configuration (using
either the tag editor or the configuration pages), authentication has to be disabled. Restore or import is
only possible when authentication is disabled.
Note also that it is very important to save the authentication information. There is no way to retrieve a
lost username or password. If the authentication information is lost, the only way to restore the linking
device is to download new firmware via the USB interface. This will erase any configuration currently
on the module.

7.3.3 Modbus Servers

The configuration of the servers on the Modbus-TCP network is made here. The linking device can han-
dle up to 64 different servers, and a maximum of 64 transactions distributed among those servers. It is
possible to map up to 4096 bytes of data in either direction, including control/status word and live list.
The global configuration limits box keeps track of the number of added transactions and the current
amount of I/O mapped input and output data. It also keeps track of the total amount of data in the
configuration (both I/O mapped and not I/O mapped data).

Add Server
Click ‘Add server’ to add a server to the configuration. Click ‘Edit’ to see and edit the settings:

Available editable settings:

Setting Description

Before storing and rebooting, the linking device will validate the not yet stored configuration. If errors
are found, the linking device will produce an information message with instructions to correct the errors.
The linking device will not store an invalid configuration.

Reboot and undo changes

The linking device will be restarted. All changes made since the last configuration was loaded will be
undone.

Undo changes
Undo all changes made since the last configuration was loaded.

Factory reset
Reset the linking device to completely remove the configuration currently stored in the module.

Wink device
Clicking the “Wink device” button will start a 15 second LED sequence on LEDs 1, 5 and 6 on the link-
ing device. For identification purposes.

7.4.2 Backup and Restore

Backup the configuration that is currently used to file, or restore a previously saved configuration from
file.
It is not possible to backup or restore the configuration until all changes are either applied or undone.
See “HMS-EN2MB-R Management” on page 47.
Two things can happen when loading an old configuration:
• Configuration valid:
The linking device will reboot and automatically use the previously stored configuration.
• Configuration not valid:
The linking device will produce an error message. The chosen configuration will not be accepted
or loaded into memory.

Important Notice
Before loading a previously stored configuration, locate any authentication information associated with
it. If a valid configuration is loaded that is protected by a password, the linking device can not be recon-
figured until the correct authentication information has been provided.

7.4.3 Mapping Overview

This page provides a description of all data resulting from the transactions of the currently applied con-
figuration. It is divided into two parts. The first part describes the linking device interface to the Ether-
Net/IP network, and the second part all applied transactions on the Modbus-TCP network.
If needed, it is possible to print the configuration to paper. Click the printer symbol to the right on the
mapping overview page to access a printer friendly version of the mapping overview.

EtherNet/IP
The I/O mapped data will always be presented according to the following priority order:

• Input data
Data from the Modbus-TCP network to the EtherNet/IP network.
- Status word (optional)
- Live list (optional)
- Input data (bit transactions will always be mapped first)

• Output data
Data from the EtherNet/IP network to the Modbus-TCP network.
- Control word (optional)
- Output data (bit transactions will always be mapped first)

The parameter section data presents a detailed list of all data, including both the I/O mapped and the
not I/O mapped data, available acyclically from the linking device to the EtherNet/IP network. This list
also includes the transaction status and exception code lists, available for error identification.

7.4.4 Transaction Monitor

The transaction monitor interface presents a detailed list of all transactions currently operating on the
Modbus-TCP network.

To start or stop the transaction monitor, press the desired button.

The data in the transaction monitor is automatically updated, and it is possible to choose to view the
data either in decimal or in hexadecimal values. The time that has passed since the last update is visible
at the top of the transaction list. Every post in the list contains the following transaction information:
• Server name and transaction name
• The type of Modbus function chosen for the transaction
• The size of the data read from or written to the Modbus-TCP network
• The actual data read from or written to the Modbus-TCP network
• The bit position of the transaction in the live list (also presented as byte.bit)
If there is a transaction error, an error message will appear instead of the data.
A red frame around the list indicates that the web browser has lost connection to the web server of the
linking device. If this happens, try reloading the page by clicking on “Transaction Monitor” in the menu
to the left.
Note: Viewing the transaction monitor may affect performance.

Connection Types

• Exclusive-Owner connection
This type of connection controls the outputs of the Anybus module and does not depend on oth-
er connections.
- Max. no. of Exclusive-Owner connections: 1
- Connection point O  T: Assembly Object, instance 64h (Default)
- Connection point T  O: Assembly Object, instance 96h (Default)

• Input-Only connection
This type of connection is used to read data from the Anybus module without controlling the
outputs. It does not depend on other connections.
- Max. no. of Input-Only connections: Up to 41
- Connection point O  T: Assembly Object, instance 03h (Default)
- Connection point T  O: Assembly Object, instance 96h (Default)

Note: If an Exclusive-Owner connection has been opened towards the module and times out,
the Input-Only connection times out as well. If the Exclusive-Owner connection is properly
closed, the Input-Only connection remains unaffected.

• Input-Only Extended connection

This connections functionality is the same as the standard Input-Only connection. However
when this connection times out it does not affect the state of the application.
- Max. no. of Input-Only connections: Up to 4a
- Connection point O  T: Assembly Object, instance 05h (Default)
- Connection point T  O: Assembly Object, instance 96h (Default)
