I - COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

1 - General information

Guide conventions:
The following typographical conventions are used throughout this manual.
Text in [] is a data, it is written with one byte
Text in [...(n byte)] is a data, it is written with n bytes
Text in <> is a group of data
A char in ‘’ is written as itself, for example, ‘1’ is the 49 ASCII code, ‘A’ is the 65 ASCII code.

Examples:
[0x41] is the 65 ASCII code (in decimal base), which is the letter A
[0x42] is the ASCII code 42 in hexadecimal base, which is the letter B
[ETX] is ASCII code ETX (0x02 in hexadecimal base)

2 communications protocols are possibles:


- TEXT protocol: all data are printable char
 easy to read
 it is not possible to transfer every kind of data
 the string to be transferred is longer
 ideal for automatism who have trouble sending binary code.

- BINARY Protocol: data are compact and written using the full ASCII table
--> no limits for the data
--> the string to be transferred is compact (fast communication)
--> data are coded, it is not easily readable

- the string to be transferred cannot be longer than 40 000 bytes


- Buffer memory is 500 bytes: do not send more than 500 byte too fast else data will be lost.

Peticular case : the string which run the marking file:


As soon as the control receive the string, it send the [ACK] code then start the marking file
At the last dot marked, the control send [EOT]
At the end of the cycle, and at home position, the control send [ENQ]
On error, the control send [NAK][ERROR-CODE(3)]
When an error occurs, you must acknowledge the message by sending the RESET ERREUR
string

Remark: For historical compatibility, you can use the communication protocol of 4A version
(see the end of document)

NOTPROTOE10V6US-R03 original instructions 6/60


2 - Text Protocol
a) String to be sent:
<command> [Space char] <Data> [Space char] ... [Space char] <Data> [CR][LF]
or <command> [CR][LF]

where
<Command> is the command code
<Data> is the data of the command ( without Space char)
[CR] is the 0x0D char ( obsolet )
[LF] is the 0x0A char

b) Response of the control


<command> [Space char] <Answer> [CR][LF]

the control response to evry command.

c) Commun fuctions

These functions let you select a marking file in the controller, affect variables and run the marking cycle.

3 - Binary protocol
a) String to be sent :
There are two format for the string to be send :(a) : with a check sum
(b) : without the check sum

Control code CheckSum : In order to detect a possible error in the transmission, the CheckSum is calculated depending on the string sent by the
main system and receptioned by the machine. If the string has been correctly transmitted, the code calculated by the marking machine is the same
as the code sent by the main system..

The CheckSum corresponds to an "EXCLUSIVE OR" of all codes transmitted in the string, including the STX code and the ETX code.
String (a) : [STX][NULL][Version]<Command 1><Command 2>...<Command n>[ETX]
String (b) : [STX][Version]<Command 1>...<Command n>[ETX][Check-sum]

Syntax of a Command:
A command is build with :
The command code ( written with 1 byte )
The size of the data ( a 16-bit integer Written with 2 bytes)
The data ( written with n bytes).
The command code can be any value of the ASCII table between [0x04] and [0xFF]
Any byte of data can take any value of the ASCII code

If you do not wish to specify the size of the data, you can format the command using a break-code :
The command code ( written with 1 byte )
The ASCII code 255 to specify you are using a break code ( written with 1 byte )
The break-code ( written with 1 byte )
The data ( written with n bytes)

Make sure that the data do not have the break-code inside

format (1) : [Command Code][data size(2)][Data (Size)]


format (2) : [Command Code][0xFF][Break-code][Data (Size)][Break-code]

Conventions :
Green : start and end of the string
Blue : Command code
pink : Data size
Yellow : Data

[STX] and [ETX] = Start and End of text


[NULL] after [STX] disable the check-sum control
[Version] = '5' (0x35 in hexadecimal) for the protocol version.
[Code] = Command code, written with one byte (from [0x04] to [0xFF])
[Data size(2)] = Size of the data = a 16 bit integer written with 2 bytes, with the most significant byte to the left ( Motorola processor)
[0xFF]= char 0xFF for break-code
[Break-code] = any byte from 0x00 to 0xFF
[Data] = data of the command.

Representation of numeric values:


All numbers are written with the most significant byte to the left
Example : the value 513 is written [02][01]

b) The control response to all commands:


- if an error occurs when the string is analyzed, the control send:
[BS] : for a check-sum error
[HT] : for a bad string syntax
[NAK] : for a Time out

- when the string is correct, the control respond to all commands with the following string.
String sent by control : [STX]<Command 1 answer>< Command 2 answer>...< Command n answer>[ETX]
The command are built : [original command code][answer size(2 bytes)][anwer(n bytes)]

In many cases, the anwer is the return code of the execution of the command :
[original command code][0x00][0x01][return code (1 byte)]
the [return code] can be one of the following value
[ACK] successful
[HT] wrong data syntax
[BEL] file not found
[LF] Variable not found

4 - Compatibility with the communication protocol of the 4A version program


a) Communication protocol:

The string sent to the controller must start with the characters STX (Start TeXte: 02h), followed by a list of functions
(described on the next pages) and the string must end with ETX (End TeXte: 03h).

b) String to be sent:
String String
Start End

[STX] [Cmde] [Data] .................. [Cmde] [Data] [ETX] ( [CheckSum] )


When the control code
Function 1 Function N is activated

Control code CheckSum: In order to detect a possible error in the transmission, the CheckSum is calculated
depending on the string sent by the main system and receptioned by the machine. If the string has been correctly
transmitted, the code calculated by the marking machine is the same as the code sent by the main system.
The CheckSum corresponds to an "EXCLUSIVE OR" of all codes transmitted in the string, including the STX code
and the ETX code.

c) List of functions:

Each function starts with a control code, followed by the data corresponding to the function to be used :

Code Description
[NUL] Deactivate the control code CheckSum
[ No data ]
[SOH] File Selection
[ Data: Name of the file to be loaded (max 11 characters) ]
[ACK] Marking release right after receiving the string without waiting for the confirmation through the Start
Cycle button.
[ No data ]
[ENQ] Definition of a variable in the valid file or after loading a file through the [SOH] function
[ Data: name of the variable + ‘=’ + value to be attributed]
[LF] Definition of the marking speed (standard is speed 5)
[Data : 0 to 9 ]
[VT] Transfer all marking parameters
Data: Each line of the file is transferred with the following format:

X Y Z W H Ang. Radius D O F Text on N characters


X, Y : Coordinates of the text to be marked (–9999 to +9999 in tenth of mm),
Z: Coordinates of the text to be marked (0000 to 9999 in tenth of mm),
W, H: Width and height of the character to be marked(000 to 999 in tenth of mm),
Ang: marking angle (000 to 359 in degrees),
Radiu: Radius of the circle for circular markings (0000 to 9999 in tenth of mm),
D: Depth - Impact force (0=no impact to 9=large impact),
O: Orientation - Marking direction (‘N’ or ‘I’ for Normal or Reverse orientation),
F: Character font (1 to 9),
Text: Text to be marked
[FF] Transfer of the part diameter, when a D-axis is used.

b) V4 protocol
Communication protocol
The string sent to the controller must start with the characters STX (Start TeXte: 02h), followed by a list of functions (described on the next pages) and the
string must end with ETX (End TeXte: 03h).

String to be sent :
String String
start end

[STX] [Cmde] [Data] .……............... [Cmde] [Data] [ETX] ( [CheckSum] )

When the control code


Function 1 Function N
is activated

Control code CheckSum : In order to detect a possible error in the transmission, the CheckSum is calculated depending on the string sent by the main system
and receptioned by the machine. If the string has been correctly transmitted, the code calculated by the marking machine is the same as the code sent by the
main system. When a check sum error is detected, the syctem send back the [BS] code.

The CheckSum corresponds to an "EXCLUSIVE OR" of all codes transmitted in the string, including the STX code and the ETX code.

List of functions
Each function starts with a control code, followed by the data corresponding to the function to be used :

Cmde Description
[NUL] Deactivate the control code CheckSum
[ No data ]
[SOH] File Selection
[ Data: Name of the file to be loaded (max 11 characters) ]
[ACK] Marking release right after receiving the string without waiting for the confirmation through the Start Cycle button.
[ No data ]
[ENQ] Definition of a variable in the valid file or after loading a file through the [SOH] function
[ Data: name of the variable + ‘=’ + value to be attributed]
[LF] Definition of the marking speed (standard is speed 5)
[Data : 0 to 9 ]
[VT] Transfer all marking parameters
Data: Each line of the file is transferred with the following format:

X Y Z L H A R F S P Texte sur N caractères

X, Y : Coordinates of the text to be marked (–9999 to +9999 in tenth of mm),


Z: Coordinates of the text to be marked (0000 to 9999 in tenth of mm),
W, H: Width and height of the character to be marked(000 to 999 in tenth of mm),
Ang: marking angle (000 to 359 in degrees),
Radiu: Radius of the circle for circular markings (0000 to 9999 in tenth of mm),
D: Depth - Impact force (0=no impact to 9=large impact),
O: Orientation - Marking direction (‘N’ or ‘I’ for Normal or Reverse orientation),
F: Character font (1 to 9),
Text: Text to be marked

Examples
 Select the ‘AB12’ file without checksum and without running the cycle:
Send the string:
[STX] [NUL] [SOH] AB12 [ETX]
in hexadecimal:
02 00 01 41 42 31 32 03
 Affect the ‘OF’ variable in the current file and start the cycle:

c) File selection
The selection of some of the controller input/output board inputs allows automatic opening of pre-
recorded marking files (up to 63 files).

A maximum of 6 inputs are assigned to this task (inputs 3 to 8). Each "input" may be open (state "0") or
closed (state "1") by dry contacts (*) to form a binary code.

(*) A dry contact can be assimilated to an open or closed switch connecting contact 9 or 10 (input
common) to one of the inputs, without any voltage.

This binary chain, converted into decimal values, corresponds to a number varying from 0 to 63
(maximum). This is the value which will be associated with a marking file.

You will be able to assign a marking file to each binary input combination.

Remarks:

 The state of the inputs is scanned only when the cycle starts. Be sure to set the state of
the inputs before activating the cycle start.
 Some accessories or options use inputs. These inputs will no longer be available for
selecting the file which is limited.

d) Input/Output test

You can manually test the input/output stats of the e6. Goes to menu : .
Follow screen will appear :

INPUT line gives the input stats of the e6 :

IV - FIELDBUS PROTOCOLS

The marking system can be controlled by Profibus, Profinet or Ethernet/IP protocol with a bus
width of 16 bytes (standard).
The protocols cannot send the complete data string at once to the E10 controller, as the bus
width is restricted to 16 bytes.
Please refer to the previous pages for the commands list.
a) Prerequisite
The PROFIBUS module requires the e10v6.1.001 (2-3 axes), e10v6.0.011 (4 axes) software or
later versions installed on the controller.
The PROFINET and ETHERNET/IP modules require the e10v6.1.002 (2-3 axes), e10v6.0.012
(4 axes) software or later versions installed on the controller.
b) Integration
These modules are integrated as COM boards inside the e10 controller.

 PROFIBUS :

Standard PROFIBUS SUBD 9 connector

 PROFINET and Etehrnet/IP:

Standard PROFINET or Ethernet/IP connector

NOTPROTOE10V6US-R03 original instructions 50/60


c) Procedure required
1. Separate your data string into parts of 15 bytes each
2. Put a sequential counting byte (hex (01)-(02)-(03)- etc.) at the beginning of each sequence,
append the 15 bytes of data.
3. On the last sequence use hex (FF) as the first byte.
4. If there is only one sequence, use hex (FF).
5. Any sequences sent and not completely filled with data have to be completed using zeroes
to fill the 16 bytes (see example 2).

Important note: To be active, two identical and successive sending must be separate by a
neutral sending (null string). The system read only sendings after an I/O’s state change.

d) Example 1
Select file ‘SIC’, no checksum and do not start the marking process:
Send this string: [STX] [NUL] [SOH] SIC [ETX]
First sequence is the only one.
Hex values: FF 02 00 01 53 49 43 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Note : the selected file must be in the controller.

e) Example 2
Send a complete string including start command for the marking sequence and select speed 9:
send this string: [STX] [NUL] [LF] 9 [VT] +0100+0500000002002000000005N1 SICTST [VT]
+0100+1000000003003000000005N2 MARKING [ACK] [ETX]

Hex values:
Seq. 1 : 01 02 00 0A 39 0B 2B 30 31 30 30 2B 30 35 30 30
Seq. 2 : 02 30 30 30 30 30 32 30 30 32 30 30 30 30 30 30
Seq. 3 : 03 30 30 35 4E 31 53 49 43 54 53 54 0B 2B 30 31
Seq. 4 : 04 30 30 2B 31 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 33 30 30
Seq. 5 : 05 33 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 35 4E 32 4D 41 52
Seq. 6 : FF 4B 49 4E 47 06 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

It is possible to create a data string made up of up to 8 single packets.


After the receipt of one packet the Gateway returns the packet number followed by the answer
of the command (limited to 16 byte).

NOTPROTOE10V6US-R03 original instructions 54/60


- ETHERNET/IP : (Example RSLogix 5000)

In order to address properly in an EtherNet/IP network, an eds file is provided with the
EtherNet/IP card (« sicmarking.eds » available in the SIC files directory). This file contains the
information so that a programmable logic controller (PLC) can send information to the e10 controller and
read back information from it.
The eds file contains the definition of the e10 controller. So before adding an e10 controller in the
network, the e10 definition must be extracted from the eds file and added to the list of device already
recognized by the development environment. The following steps are done in the Logix Designer Studio
5000.
From the “Tools” menu, select the “EDS Hardware Installation Tool” option :

From the Rockwell Automation EDS Wizard, select the “Register an EDS file” option and click the
“Next” button :

In the next step, select the “Register a single” option. Either enter directly the path of the provided
eds file, or click the “Browse…” to select the file. Once the file is entered in the “Named” text box, click
the “Next” button again :

NOTPROTOE10V6US-R03 original instructions 55/60


The following step in the Rockwell Automation EDS wizard is a confirmation page to ensure that
you have selected the appropriate file. If you are satisfied with your choice, click the “Next” button to
proceed with the extraction of the information about the e10 controller :

When the eds file is read by the wizard, the definition of the SIC Marking controller will be
presented to the user in the next wizard’s page. Click the “Next” button to confirm the product type
extraction :

NOTPROTOE10V6US-R03 original instructions 56/60


The last step is to insert the device definition contained in the eds file and to add the device in the
database. Again click the “Next” button to proceed with the insertion of the SIC Marking e10 controller in
the database :

This final wizard page is to confirm the SIC Marking e10 controller definition was properly
extracted from the EDS file and added to the Logix Designed devices definition. Click the “Finish” button
to complete the process :

NOTPROTOE10V6US-R03 original instructions 57/60


Adding the e10 controller to the Network :

With a SIC Marking e10 controller with an EtherNet/IP card installed and the product definition
added to the Logix Designer, you can now proceed with adding an e10 controller in your industrial
network. The following steps are done the Logix Designer.
In the Controller Organizer view, do a right-click on the “Ethernet” branch. Select the “New
Module…” to add a new device to your network.

You must now select the SIC Marking device from the catalog. The easiest way is to perform a
search is by searching for “SIC Marking” as the keyword. If the eds file was properly loaded (see
previous section) you should be able to see the definition.
Click on the “Create” button to add a new e10 controller in your network :

Give your new e10 controller in your network a meaningful name in the “Name” textbox. The
other critical information is the Ethernet address. The information you enter in the Ethernet address must
match what you have entered in the controller itself (first section of this document).
Click the “Ok” button when the appropriate information is entered :

NOTPROTOE10V6US-R03 original instructions 58/60


Your new e10 controller will now appear in the Controller Organizer window of the Logix
Designer. Your device is now part of your industrial network and you are now ready to send information
and directive to it to perform you various marking needs :

NOTE: Depending on the version of your RSLogix Software, the connection tab may also present
the option “Use Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP. Please make sure to disable this option as
the device does not support it.
