Description and Requirements 16/71
3 Description and Requirements

3.1 Description
The MPI devices netLINK NL 50-MPI and netTAP NT 50-MPI make it
possible to communicate via Ethernet to a PROFIBUS MPI automation
system.
1. The gateway devices can be used together with the IBHnet driver as a
programming adapter with PROFIBUS MPI for a Simatic S7 or a S7
compatible PLC.
2. The gateway devices make it also possible to communicate via Ethernet
to PROFIBUS MPI.
The Configuration (set IP-Address, PROFIBUS parameter etc.) is carried
out via the Ethernet. For this purpose either
• the configuration software SyConMPI or alternatively
• the IBHnet driver
can be used.
The configuration is saved in the device in a FLASH memory.
Both gateway devices have the same compatible interface regarding
communication and configuration. The devices support the PROFIBUS MPI
protocol (as a client) at the D-Sub connector and are a complete gateway
together with the 10/100 MBit/s Ethernet interface, which detects by auto
detection the Ethernet transmission rate of 10 or 100 MBit/s.
3.1.1 Description netLINK NL 50-MPI
The netLINK NL 50-MPI device described in this user manual is an
Ethernet Gateway based on netX technology. This device is a successor of
the netLINK NL-MPI device.
Because of its structure in the D-Sub housing, it can be plugged directly on
to the fieldbus connection of a PROFIBUS MPI capable device and
connects this, using an external Ethernet cable to the next Ethernet switch.
The netLINK NL 50-MPI device has a standard RJ45 ethernet socket to
connect an Ethernet cable.
The power supply is provided directly by the MPI Interface or externally.
3.1.2 Compatibility of the netLINK NL 50-MPI to the NL-MPI
The netLINK NL 50-MPI device is compatible to the netLINK NL-MPI with
respect to the following details:
• The communication functionality for user data exchange is compatible,
• the configurations of both device are compatible.
With respect to the diagnostic functions there is only a partial compatibility.
3.1.3 Description netTAP NT 50-MPI

The netTAP NT 50-MPI device described in this user manual is an Ethernet
Gateway based on netX technology. This device is a successor of the
netTAP NT 40-MPI device.
The device is for top-hat rail mounting and thus suitable for permanent
installation within a PROFIBUS automation system.
The power supply is provided via a mini Combicon connector. The energy
supply is galvanically separated from the data lines of the PROFIBUS and
the Ethernet.
3.1.4 Compatibility of the netTAP NT 50-MPI to the NT 40-MPI

The netTAP NT 50-MPI device is compatible to the netTAP NT 40-MPI with
respect to the following details:
• The communication functionality for user data exchange is compatible,
• the configurations of both device are compatible.
With respect to the diagnostic functions there is only a partial compatibility.
The netTAP NT 50-MPI device contains functionality (plus additional) of the
netTAP NT 40-MPI. Hence, the netTAP NT 50-MPI can be used as a
replacement for the netTAP NT 40-MPI device.
3.2 System Requirements

For a reasonable application of the devices, a suitable supply voltage is
required. The supply voltage to be applied must be in the range between
18 V and 30 V.

the power supply must be
potential free!
Device Destruction!
The reference potential of the
supply voltage is galvanically
connected with the reference
potential of the PROFIBUS for
hardware revision 2 and 3 of the
device. From this it follows that

connection via TCP/IP to the MPI device is possible. Open the MS-DOS
Prompt and enter ping 192.168.10.190 (the IP address has to be the same
as set in the MPI device) and press the Return key. Could a connection be
established then the answer is displayed by the following text Reply from
192.168.10.190...
Otherwise a connection timeout is displayed.
Troubleshooting 56/71
8.2 Ethernet Failure in 10 MBit/s Half Duplex Mode and

Workaround
Not affected are netTAP NT 50-MPI devices and netLINK NL 50-MPI with
serial number greater than 27927, which means: devices manufactured
after december 2010 are not affected.
Affected Hardware
Hardware with the communication controller netX 50, netX 100 or
netX 500; netX/Internal PHYs.
When can this Failure occur?

When using standard Ethernet communication with 10 MBit/s half duplex
mode, the PHY gets stuck in case of network collisions. Then no further
network communication is possible. Only device power cycling allows
Ethernet communication again.
This problem can only occur with Ethernet TCP/UDP IP, EtherNet/IP or
Modbus TCP protocols when using hubs at 10 MBit/s. The issue described
above is not applicable for protocols which use 100 MBit/s or full duplex
mode.
Solution / Workaround:
Do not use 10 MBit/s-only hubs. Use either switches or 10/100 MBit/s Dual
Speed hubs, to make sure the netX Ethernet ports are connected with 100
MBit/s or in full duplex mode.
This erratum is fixed with all components of the ‘Y’ charge (9 digit charge
number shows ‘Y’ at position 5 (nnnnYnnnn).

RFC 1006 63/71
11 RFC 1006
RFC 1006 is a standard for communication over TCP/IP that is supported
by the MPI device. Via RFC 1006 the S7 communication protocol is
transferred. The S7 communication protocols transparently for the MPI
device.
Application:
PC-based visualization systems can be coupled by the netLINK to an S7 in
order to read and write data.
RFC 1006 provides a point-to-point connection from the PC to the
automation device.
The RFC 1006 uses a rack and a slot number for addressing. These are
directly converted to the MPI address.
In order to access MPI address 2 you need to use the value 0 for the rack
number and 2 for the slot number on the side of RFC 1006, for precise
assignment see the table below. Some visualization software needs the
TSAP. The assignment is listed in the following table.
