 EtherNet/IP Board Technical Data

EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP was introduced in 2001 and today is the most developed, proven, and complete
industrial Ethernet network solution available for manufacturing automation. EtherNet/IP is a
member of a family of networks that implements the Common Industrial Protocol (CIPE) at its
upper layers. CIP encompasses a comprehensive suite of messages and services
for a variety of manufacturing automation applications, including control, safety,
synchronization, motion, configuration, and information. As a truly media-independent
protocol that is supported by hundreds of vendors around the world, CIP provides users with
a unified communication architecture throughout the manufacturing enterprise.
There are two common use cases of Ethernet—devices are “human to machine” and
“machine to machine.” Basic features are presented in the pictures below.

1. Human to machine (graphical user interface, relatively slow communication)

2. Machine to machine (industrial environment, fast communication)

EtherNet/IP Board Technical Data

Connections and Wiring

The EtherNet/IP board supports 10/100 Mb speeds in both
full and half-duplex modes. The boards must be connected to
the Ethernet network with a shielded CAT-5e cable. A
crossover cable (at least CAT-5e cable with STP, shielded
twisted pair) may be needed if you want to connect the
EtherNet/IP option board directly to the master appliance.
Use only industrial standard components in the network and
avoid complex structures to minimize the length of response
time and the amount of incorrect dispatches.
It is often a good practice to use a subnet that is different
from other devices not related to the drive control.

Vendor Specific Objects

Vendor Parameters Object, Class 0xA0

Vendor parameter object is used in order to get access to drive parameters. Because drive
parameters are identified by the 16-bit length ID number, it is impossible to use only attribute
ID, which is 8-bit in length. To overcome this issue, we are using the following method to
calculate requested drive parameter ID:
Drive parameter ID = instance ID (higher byte) + attribute ID (lower byte)

Appendix A—Process Data Variables For All-In-One Application

This appendix lists how process data variables are defined for the all-in-one application. Other
applications may define the process data variables differently.

Process Data Out (Slave to Master)

The fieldbus master can read the frequency converter’s
actual values using process data variables. All software
applications use process data as follows:

Process Data Out Variables

ID Data Value Unit Scale
2104 Process data OUT 1 Output frequency Hz 0.01 Hz
2105 Process data OUT 2 Motor speed rpm 1 rpm
2106 Process data OUT 3 Motor current A 0.1A
2107 Process data OUT 4 Motor torque % 0.1%
2108 Process data OUT 5 Motor power % 0.1%
2109 Process data OUT 6 Motor voltage V 0.1V
2110 Process data OUT 7 DC link voltage V 1V
2111 Process data OUT 8 Active fault code — —

The multipurpose control application has a selector parameter for every process data. The
monitoring values and drive parameters can be selected using the ID number. Default
selections are as in the table above.

PLC Programming
ControlLogix 5000
When using a ControlLogix PLC as an OPTCQ master, you must first configure a compatible
EtherNet/IP scanner, and then map ladder logic variables to the scanner. The following
example is for a ControlLogix5550 with an ENET/B Ethernet bridge module. The ENET/B
supports polled messaging. Some PLCs do not support polled messaging for EtherNet/IP.
For example, the SLC500 only supports explicit messaging.
Right-click on I/O configuration and select “New Module.” Select the 1756-ENET/B Ethernet
Bridge (see figure below).

1756-ENET/B Ethernet Bridge

28 OPTCQ EtherNet/IP Option Card MN04002005E—May 2024 www.eaton.com

 Appendix A—Process Data Variables For All-In-One Application

After the bridge module is added, a dialog box will appear requesting the configuration of the
bridge module parameters. Enter a name and the IP address used by the bridge module on
the first tab (see figure below). Select next and enter a polling interval for the bridge. A polling
interval of 200 ms to 1000 ms is recommended.

Module Properties

The next step is to add a drive to the bridge module. Right click on the bridge module, and add
a new Generic Ethernet Module (see figure below). Fill in the drive specific information. Be
sure to select comm. Format INT. Do this before entering the connection parameters. In this
example, the input and output assemblies match the default assembly numbers used by the
OPTCQ. Use a configuration assembly value of 1 with a length of zero (see Page 30).

Select Module Type

Appendix A—Process Data Variables For All-In-One Application

Add additional drive modules as needed, remembering to assign unique names and IP
addresses to each module. Variable tags may then be viewed from the controller tags item in
the property tree.

Module Properties—Bridge Module

Tags from each drive may now be accessed using standard ladder instructions. For example,
in the bottom figure, move instructions are used to move the speed and start commands for
drive4. Notice that the use of INT data types in the scan list allow for simplified tag access.
For example, the speed reference can be changed without having to use math operators to
adjust the upper and lower bytes.

 Appendix A—Process Data Variables For All-In-One Application

Explicit Messages
The ladder logic in the figure below creates and sends an explicit message that changes the
input and output assembly instance numbers used by the drive. It does this by using a
message block, configured to send a Set Attribute Single CIP message. The configuration of
the drive’s input and output assemblies is done by changing attributes 3, and 4 of the selector
class (0BE hex), instance 1. These items are used in the class, instance, and attribute
argument fields of the configuration dialog in the figure at bottom.

Ladder Logic Message Blocks in RSLogix5000

Closing the SetAssembly contact fires a one shot, which in turn sets the variable
InputAssyNumberForSet to a value of 107. This variable is used as the source element in the
message configuration dialog (see figure below). You must also set the device path on the
communication tab to the name of the drive you wish to send the message to, in this case
Drive1. This device path determines which drive receives the explicit message.

Message Configuration for RSLogix5000

OPTCQ EtherNet/IP Option Card MN04002005E—May 2024 www.eaton.com 31

Appendix A—Process Data Variables For All-In-One Application

Forcing the GetAssembly contact fires a one-shot that triggers another message block that
sends a Get Attribute Single message. The result of the get attribute single message is
then placed in the destination element, InputAssyNumberForGet. This message response
verifies that the drive has correctly received and responded to the previous setAttributeSingle
message.

Message Configuration

It’s important to remember that explicit messages use PLC processor cycles that are best
used to scan ladder logic. In the sample logic of figure A, the explicit message that sets the
I/O assembly numbers is required to run only one time. Once the drive is configured to use a
specific I/O assembly, it retains that information and the logic no longer has to run. This is the
reason that a one-shot function block is used; it ensures that only one message is sent to the
drive, and then will not execute again until the setAssembly contact opens a closes again.

Using Explicit Messages with I/O Assemblies

Some PLCs, such as the Rockwell SLC500, do not allow for polled messaging over an
EtherNet/IP. It is possible to transfer data using an I/O assembly as a template, but an explicit
message must be used in place of the usual polled (implicit) message. The CIP specification
provides for explicit access to the I/O assemblies via the “assembly object” class. The use of
a “get attribute single” or “set attribute single” service to class 4, instance N, where N is the
assembly number, attribute 3 (assembly data) is used. The same ladder logic structure used
in figure A may be used, but a mechanism must be employed to periodically trigger the
explicit messages. A timer may be used for this purpose. The timer should be set to a
reasonable interval for reading information (~100 ms). The set service need only be called
when control, speed change, or some other parameter write to the drive is required. A timer
is still recommended to throttle messages, as event driven changes (such as a very slight
speed change) may result in calling the message block logic too frequently. Excessive calls to
message blocks can result in poor ladder logic performance.

Appendix B—IP Tool NCIPConfig

Appendix B—IP Tool NCIPConfig

You need a PC with an Ethernet connection and the NCIPConfig tool installed to set the
EtherNet/IP board’s IP addresses. To install the NCIPConfig tool, start the installation program
from the CD or download it from the www.eaton.com Web site. After starting the installation
program, follow the on-screen instructions.
Once the program is installed successfully, you can launch it by selecting it in the Windows
Start menu. Follow these instructions to set the IP addresses. Select Help --> Manual if you
want more information about the software features.
Step 1. Connect your PC to the Ethernet network with an Ethernet cable. You can also
connect the PC directly to the OPTCQ. A crossover cable may be needed if your
PC does not support automatic crossover function.
Step 2. Scan network nodes. Select Configuration --> Scan and wait until the devices
connected to the bus in the tree structure are displayed to the left of the screen.
Note: Some switches block broadcast messages. In this case, each network node must be
scanned separately. Read the manual under Help menu!

34 OPTCQ EtherNet/IP Option Card MN04002005E—May 2024 www.eaton.com

 Appendix B—IP Tool NCIPConfig

Step 3. Set IP addresses. Change the node’s IP settings according to the network IP
settings. The program will report conflicts with a red color in a table cell. Read the
manual under Help menu.

Step 4. Send configuration to boards. In the table view, check the boxes for boards whose
configuration you want to send and select Configuration, then Configure. Your
changes are sent to the network and will be valid immediately.

Update OPTCQ Option Board Program with the NCIPConfig Tool

In some cases it may be necessary to update the option board’s firmware. Differing from
other OPTC option boards, the EtherNet/IP option board’s firmware is updated with the
NCIPConfig tool.
Note: The IP addresses of the PC and the option board must be in the same area when the
software is loaded.

To start the firmware update, scan the nodes in the network according to the instructions in
Assembly Instances Implemented by the OPTCQ Option Board section on Page 20. Once
you can see all nodes in the view, you can update the new firmware by clicking the VCN
packet field in NCIPCONFIG’s table view on the right.

OPTCQ EtherNet/IP Option Card MN04002005E—May 2024 www.eaton.com 35

Appendix B—IP Tool NCIPConfig

After clicking the VCN packet field, a file open window where you can choose a new firmware
packet is displayed.

Send the new firmware packet to the option board by checking its box in the “VCN Packet”
field at the right corner of the table view. After selecting all nodes to be updated by checking
the boxes, send the new firmware to the board by selecting “Software” then “Download.”

 Appendix B—IP Tool NCIPConfig

Note: Do not do a power-up cycle within 1 minute after downloading the option board
software. This may cause the option board to go to “Safe Mode.” This situation can
only be solved by re-downloading the software. The Safe Mode triggers a fault code
(F54). The Board slot error F54 may also appear due to a faulty board, a temporary
malfunction of the board, or disturbance in the environment.

Configure Option Board Parameters

These features are available from NCIPConfig tool version 1.6.
In the tree-view, expand the folders until you reach the board parameters. Slowly double-click
the parameter (Comm. Time-out in figure below) and enter the new value. New parameter
values are automatically sent to the option board after the modification is complete.

Note: If the fieldbus cable is broken at the Ethernet board end or removed, a fieldbus error is
immediately generated.
