WHAT IS ETHERNET/IP?
EtherNet/IP is the name given to the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), as
implemented over standard Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) and the TCP/IP protocol suite.
CIP is the application protocol that is common to CompoNet, ControlNet,
DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP (Figure 1). The EtherNet/IP and CIP technologies are
managed by the ODVA (in conjunction with ControlNet International).
ODVA publishes the EtherNet/IP Specifications and ensures compliance
through conformance and interoperability testing.
Figure 1
DeviceNet, CompoNet & ControlNet share the same CIP
application and transport layers with EtherNet/IP

the complete data traffic with the Fieldbus and with it relieves the processor of the terminal
unit of this considerable effort. The terminal unit’s protocol is converted in the UNIGATE
IC via a script. This script is generated with the free PC-tool Protocol Developer and it is
optimally adjusted to the final product and the requirements of the Fieldbus-Master.
Changes in the firmware of the terminal device are not necessary and the terminal device’s
microprocessor is not additionally stressed with communication and Fieldbus-tasks. The
hard- and software-interfaces of the Deutschmann UNIGATE IC-series are standardised
and functionally the same. Consequently the interchangeability of the different versions of
the UNIGATE IC-types is guaranteed without changing the device’s electronic system.
The Deutschmann Gateway UNIGATE IC uses a data capacity of 1024 bytes.
It operates with 10 Mbit/s. TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols are supported.
Processor-connection
For the use in systems with own microprocessor, the UNIGATE IC-Fast Ethernet is
connected to the processor of the terminal equipment via an UART-interface. The
UNIGATE IC takes on the complete communication part, including the Ethernet-side and
consequently relieves the processor of the terminal unit of this considerable effort. The
communication between the device’s processor and the UNIGATE IC is controlled by the
Script. Due to the Script technology complex protocols can be replicated, data can be
processed and buffered between, calculated and so on. And the terminal equipment’s
firmware is not touched!
Stand-alone operation
The connection to terminal equipment without processor can be carried out via the clocked
shift register. A maximum of 256 signals for input and output each can be processed; the
UNIGATE IC’s firmware is responsible for the different number of input and output
signals and takes over control for it.
Additional information:
• Ethernet TCP/IP-Server, TCP/IP-Client, UDP-operation
• Connection via UART-interface to the existing microprocessor or also suitable for standalone
operation via shift register
• Max. 1024 bytes input data and 1024 bytes output data
• Supports 100/10 MBit/s autodetect
• Separation of the potentials and Ethernet-transformer
• UART-interface with up to 625 Kbit/s
• Synchronous shift register interface
• Serial interface for Script download, configuration, Debug-function
• Script language for the optimal adaptation to your field device
• Script generation by means of the free Protocol Developer
• No firmware modification of your final product required
• Interchangeable with other Deutschmann UNIGATE Fieldbus Gateways and the
• Ethernet-based versions.

IXXAT (VADP LOCATED IN EUROPE)
The EtherNet/IP Adapter module represents a powerful solution for the implementation of
EtherNet/IP Adapter functionality in devices such as drives, I/O modules or encoders.
For connection to the application CPU, a serial interface or a shared memory interface is
available. The memory required for the data exchange is already on the EtherNet/IP
Adapter module, so that the interface of the application CPU only has to be connected
to the module.
For simple applications it is possible to run the application together with the EtherNet/IP
Adapter software on the module. Device vendors can also integrate the hardware design
instead of the add-on module directly in their own circuit.

you have new I/O or other data ready, write the gateway. When you need data from the
EtherNet/IP network, read the gateway. No additional communications are required.

Server or an EtherNet/IP Tag Client for applications requiring access to ControlLogix®
applications. As an EtherNet/IP Scanning Client your application can make connections
and exchange data with any EtherNet/IP server. As an EtherNet/IP Server, your PC
application can function as a device on the other end of the network. You accept
connections from an EtherNet/IP Client like ControlLogix® and exchange data with it. And
as an EtherNet/IP Tag Client you can simply read and write any tag in a Logix
(ControlLogix or CompactLogix) controller.

UNIGATE CL EtherNet/IP
The Deutschmann UNIGATE Gateway connects devices, such as automation components
and EtherNet/IP networks via serial interface. The protocol of the Terminal-unit is
converted in the UNIGATE via a script. This script is generated with the free PC tool
‘Protocol Developer’ and it is optimally adapted to the end product and the requirements of
the EtherNet/IP. Changes in the firmware of the terminal-unit are unnecessary.
Application
Deutschmann UNIGATE EtherNet/IP is ideal for the use with terminal-units that do not have
their own EtherNet/IP-interface. The standard DIN-rail version features IP24 protection.
Features
The Deutschmann UNIGATE Gateway uses the complete data capacity of EtherNet/IP: 500
byte and supports all speeds. The complete performance range of EtherNet/IP is supported by
UNIGATE. For the EtherNet/IP-connection a RJ45 connector is provided, the connection of
the serial side is made through screw-plug-connector. The EtherNet/IP – IP address can either
be set through the EtherNet/IP itself or the script. A large number of diagnostic LEDs signal
the state of the device, both for EtherNet/IP and serial communications.

DIGI INTERNATIONAL
The Digi One IAP device server provides Industrial serial-to-Ethernet and protocol conversion,
providing a means of easy, seamless and cost-effective connectivity for any serial device. Digi
One IAP has the ability to bridge Modbus (serial and Ethernet) to the Rockwell/Allen-Bradley
DF1 (serial), Ethernet and EtherNet/IP protocols (and vice versa). Configuration is as easy as
enabling the feature in the Digi® unit and configuring the PLC as normal with new required
points. Another interoperability problem rarely tackled is the ability to convert ASCII devices
such as bar-code readers, RFID, scales and cameras into Industrial Ethernet protocols. This is
difficult because ASCII has no defined standard for delimiting, thus making it difficult to
extract the relevant data. Digi One IAP has the unprecedented ability to integrate ASCII
devices with major industrial protocols by allowing it to store the data from the ASCII device
in a ‘virtual register’ on Digi One IAP until it is polled by any of the supported protocols.
A key benefit of the new Digi One IAP is that the interoperability is not limited to just
serial-to-Ethernet; the protocol routing can be done over all of its ports. Digi One IAP can
act as a serial-only, serial-to-Ethernet or Ethernet-only bridge for multiple protocols.
In other words, requests/responses can be:
• Serial-to-Serial – ASCII, Modbus, DF1
• Serial-to-Ethernet – ASCII, Modbus, DF1 (serial types); Modbus/TCP, A-B Ethernet,
EtherNet/IP (Ethernet types)
• Ethernet-to-Ethernet – Modbus/TCP, A-B Ethernet, EtherNet/IP

Drive Diagnostic Link (DDL) is a daisy chained system that checks every valve’s supply
voltage is within acceptable tolerances, solenoid coils operate properly, and instantly
pinpoints short circuits. And should it detect a fault, the control system displays appropriate
text messages to alert operators and service technicians, often before a failure occurs. Checks
are carried out as soon as a machine is switched on and continuously as it runs, ensuring the
pneumatic subsystem operates properly at all times. DDL also simplifies the design of

WEST INSTRUMENTS (PARTLOW-DANAHER CONTROLS)
The new generation bus-compatible PID controller, the MLC 9000+. Like its predecessor,
the MLC 9000, the MLC 9000+ continues to offer superior control performance and lower
installation cost than any other network-ready PID control solution, effectively ending the
need to compromise between the desire for accurate control performance and the need to
integrate loop control information into a single platform. Now equipped with more field
bus communication and loop control options than ever before, as well as an enhanced
control algorithm and expanded features for the unique application needs of the plastics,
ovens and packaging industries, the MLC 9000+ remains an affordable, bus-based PID
controller breakthrough. The EtherNet/IP Bus Communication Module (BCM) is part of
the MLC 9000+ DIN rail mount PID control system. The BCM handles communication
between up to 8 single or multi loop controller modules and the Ethernet/IP network.
Systems larger than 32 loops can be built using multiple BCMs, within the limitations of
your EtherNet/IP system.
Based on an innovative modular architecture, the new MLC 9000+’s bus control module
(BCM) links up to 32 loop control modules to a variety of network protocols all within a
mere 8 inches of panel space. In addition, the MLC 9000+ is the first multi-loop PID
controller to offer system compatibility with all major field bus protocols, including
Modbus, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP and CANopen, for seamless
integration and application versatility.
Ideal for applications such as multi-zone furnaces/ovens, packaging, plastics and
semiconductors, the MLC 9000+ will appeal to control engineers who want the quality
PID control offered by dedicated PID controllers and the integrated, single interface
convenience offered by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

The CFW-11 inverters will initially span ratings from 0.75-45kW, but there are plans to
expand the family up to 1.6MW. The drives will offer a choice of closed- or open-loop
vector, voltage vector, or V/f control. They incorporate a patented ‘optimal flux’ feature,
designed to minimise motor losses.
The drives include four ‘plug-and-play’ expansion slots which automatically recognise
accessories such as I/O, encoder and communications modules, and configure the drive
appropriately. Planned communications include CAN, Profibus DP, DeviceNet, and
EtherNet/IP, using HMS Anybus modules.
Another option is an IEC 61131-3-compliant PLC module which avoids the need for an
external PLC. The module will include analogue and digital I/O as well as two encoder
interfaces, and can act as an electronic gearbox.
DC link inductors connected symmetrically to the DC link terminals will ensure
compliance with the IEC 61000-3-12 harmonics standard without needing
external reactances.
