WHAT IS ETHERNET/<strong>IP</strong>?<br />
<strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> is the name given to the Common Industrial Protocol (C<strong>IP</strong>), as<br />
implemented over standard Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) and the TCP/<strong>IP</strong> protocol suite.<br />
C<strong>IP</strong> is the application protocol that is common to CompoNet, ControlNet,<br />
DeviceNet and <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> (Figure 1). The <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> and C<strong>IP</strong> technologies are<br />
managed by the ODVA (in conjunction with ControlNet International).<br />
ODVA publishes the <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> Specifications and ensures compliance<br />
through conformance and interoperability testing.<br />
Figure 1<br />
DeviceNet, CompoNet & ControlNet share the same C<strong>IP</strong><br />
application and transport layers with <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong><br />
4 | WHAT IS ETHERNET/<strong>IP</strong>?
The ‘<strong>IP</strong>’ in ‘<strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong>’ refers to ‘Industrial Protocol’.<br />
<strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> utilises C<strong>IP</strong> over standard IEEE 802.3 and the<br />
TCP/<strong>IP</strong> protocol suite. <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> uses standard Ethernet<br />
and TCP/<strong>IP</strong> technologies, allowing compatibility and<br />
coexistence with other applications and protocols.<br />

the complete data traffic with the Fieldbus and with it relieves the processor of the terminal<br />
unit of this considerable effort. The terminal unit’s protocol is converted in the UNIGATE<br />
IC via a script. This script is generated with the free PC-tool Protocol Developer and it is<br />
optimally adjusted to the final product and the requirements of the Fieldbus-Master.<br />
Changes in the firmware of the terminal device are not necessary and the terminal device’s<br />
microprocessor is not additionally stressed with communication and Fieldbus-tasks. The<br />
hard- and software-interfaces of the Deutschmann UNIGATE IC-series are standardised<br />
and functionally the same. Consequently the interchangeability of the different versions of<br />
the UNIGATE IC-types is guaranteed without changing the device’s electronic system.<br />
The Deutschmann Gateway UNIGATE IC uses a data capacity of 1024 bytes.<br />
It operates with 10 Mbit/s. TCP/<strong>IP</strong> and UDP/<strong>IP</strong> protocols are supported.<br />
Processor-connection<br />
For the use in systems with own microprocessor, the UNIGATE IC-Fast Ethernet is<br />
connected to the processor of the terminal equipment via an UART-interface. The<br />
UNIGATE IC takes on the complete communication part, including the Ethernet-side and<br />
consequently relieves the processor of the terminal unit of this considerable effort. The<br />
communication between the device’s processor and the UNIGATE IC is controlled by the<br />
Script. Due to the Script technology complex protocols can be replicated, data can be<br />
processed and buffered between, calculated and so on. And the terminal equipment’s<br />
firmware is not touched!<br />
Stand-alone operation<br />
The connection to terminal equipment without processor can be carried out via the clocked<br />
shift register. A maximum of 256 signals for input and output each can be processed; the<br />
UNIGATE IC’s firmware is responsible for the different number of input and output<br />
signals and takes over control for it.<br />
Additional information:<br />
• Ethernet TCP/<strong>IP</strong>-Server, TCP/<strong>IP</strong>-Client, UDP-operation<br />
• Connection via UART-interface to the existing microprocessor or also suitable for standalone<br />

available. The memory required for the data exchange is already on the <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong><br />
Adapter module, so that the interface of the application CPU only has to be connected<br />
to the module.<br />
For simple applications it is possible to run the application together with the <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong><br />
Adapter software on the module. Device vendors can also integrate the hardware design<br />
instead of the add-on module directly in their own circuit.

Available from: www.odva.org<br />
Conformance Testing<br />
<strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> Conformance Testing is mandatory according to the ODVA Terms of Usage<br />
Agreement. Vendors are required to maintain conformance and correct any<br />
non-conformances should they occur. Testing is undertaken at an ODVA authorised Test<br />
Service Provider; centres are located in Europe, US and Asia. Once the Protocol<br />
Conformance Test is passed at the TSP, ODVA issues a Declaration of Conformity and<br />
publishes it on www.odva.org.<br />
Interoperability testing<br />
The <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> Implementor Workshop has defined a set of interoperability<br />
recommendations to help ensure interoperability among devices. These recommendations<br />
are tested at ODVA-sponsored events called ‘Plug Fests’ that occur approximately twice a<br />
year in North America and Europe. The interoperability tests are optional, but have proven<br />
to be highly valuable in creating interoperable products that work in real user applications.<br />
See www.odva.org for information on the Implementor Workshop series and Plug Fest<br />
schedule. The tool used during interoperability testing is the <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> Device<br />
Interoperability Test Tool (EDITT), described above.<br />
Note: <strong>Product</strong>s must obtain a Declaration of Conformity before being allowed to<br />
participate in these events.<br />

UNIGATE CL <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong><br />
The Deutschmann UNIGATE Gateway connects devices, such as automation components<br />
and <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> networks via serial interface. The protocol of the Terminal-unit is<br />
converted in the UNIGATE via a script. This script is generated with the free PC tool<br />
‘Protocol Developer’ and it is optimally adapted to the end product and the requirements of<br />
the <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong>. Changes in the firmware of the terminal-unit are unnecessary.<br />
Application<br />
Deutschmann UNIGATE <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> is ideal for the use with terminal-units that do not have<br />
their own <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong>-interface. The standard DIN-rail version features <strong>IP</strong>24 protection.<br />
Features<br />
The Deutschmann UNIGATE Gateway uses the complete data capacity of <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong>: 500<br />
byte and supports all speeds. The complete performance range of <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> is supported by<br />
UNIGATE. For the <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong>-connection a RJ45 connector is provided, the connection of<br />
the serial side is made through screw-plug-connector. The <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> – <strong>IP</strong> address can either<br />
be set through the <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> itself or the script. A large number of diagnostic LEDs signal<br />
the state of the device, both for <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong> and serial communications.<br />

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

instrumentation to the Logix platform via <strong>EtherNet</strong>/<strong>IP</strong>. Using the configuration tool,<br />
HSNetworxPA, an entire network can be configured and added to the Logix controller in<br />
minutes. This utility makes use of the manufacturer’s GSD files, to automatically configure<br />
the network, and configure and create UDT and tag instances in the Logix controller.<br />
Network and device reconfiguration is possible offline as well as, on an Online Running<br />
controller. Instrument process variables and diagnostics can be accessed through meaningful<br />
data structures, without requiring complicated bit and byte mapping. All PA network<br />
configuration information is stored in the Logix platform and hence the RSLogix file,<br />
simplifying future maintenance. The unit provides network diagnostic information<br />
including PA Bus voltage and current, and node status.<br />

WEED INSTRUMENTS<br />
The R/T200W Series Industrial Ethernet Switches are the ideal solution for redundant<br />
systems. The Fast Re-configuration of Networks Topology (FRNT) concept eliminates<br />
failures caused by network links and/or switches. It offers ultra fast ring re-configuration<br />
(30ms) of the network topology and both fault contact and SNMP to provide notification of<br />
the ring failure. Redundancy can be achieved for most types of network topologies, such as<br />
Single Ring, Double Rings and Bridged Rings (redundant connections between two rings).<br />

WEIDMÜLLER<br />
Weidmüller offer a range of routers, managed and unmanaged switches and Ethernet media.<br />
Weidmüller’s industrial access routers connect industrial Ethernet networks safely and<br />
securely to the Internet via an integrated analogue or ISDN modem that provides global<br />
application options. External modems (ISDN, GSM, DSL or analogue) are simply<br />
connected to the RS232 interface. Access to networks behind the routers is then granted<br />
to authorised users only, making it possible to conceal connected networks or machines<br />
behind a single <strong>IP</strong> address. This design minimises the time and effort required for<br />
network installation.<br />
The two mini routers are compact in design and are housed in plastic enclosures that mount<br />
onto TS-32/35 DIN-Rail. One of the units features two RJ45 ports and one RS232<br />
interface and the second features one RJ45 port and two RS232 interfaces. In addition to<br />
industrial Ethernet routers, Weidmüller also offers a full range of products for Industrial<br />
Ethernet solutions. These include managed and unmanaged switches, media converters,<br />
cables (patch and bulk cable in copper, and patch cable in fibre), cable entry systems,
INFRASTRUCTURE<br />
connection modules, cable testers, Ethernet outlets, connection sockets, front plate<br />
interfaces, markers, RJ45 dust caps, couplers, plugs, installation flanges, Class 2 approved<br />

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

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

NETWORK VISION<br />
Designed specifically for control technicians to take the mystery out of Ethernet networks.<br />
IntraVUE provides a live, dynamic, and graphically rich view of the network. Automatically<br />
maps the wiring of the network connections for real-time monitoring. It is the equivalent of<br />
Ladder Logic power flow but for the connected devices on your network. The software will<br />
automatically tell you when devices are added, moved or removed from the network.<br />
The snapshot feature can freeze in time the current network status and interconnection<br />
traffic for off-line analysis. Event logs capture all events such as switches resetting or<br />
periodically misbehaving devices. Very unique and gear toward control engineers that are<br />
becoming more active with TCP/<strong>IP</strong> devices. Can be integrated into operator interface<br />
software (RSView) and/or viewed via a browser for easy access. Information in IntraVUE<br />
