Ethernet/IP. EtherNet/IP is based on the Allen-Bradley Control and Information protocol,
CIP, which is also the framework for both DeviceNet and ControlNet, to carry and
exchange data between nodes. Refer to section 4.9.4 below for configuration details.
3.
Mailbox Interface/Transparent Socket Interface. Other protocols can be implemented on
top of TCP/IP or UDP using the transparent mailbox socket interface. For information on
this feature, refer to the Anybus manual.
4.
IT-Functionality. The Anybus board has several IT features, including Internet
functionality - for information on how to implement these functions, refer to the Anybus
manual.
♦
Filesystem. The module features a flexible file system with two security levels. The
size available for user files is approximately 1.4 Mbyte of non-volatile memory.
♦
FTP Server. The FTP Server provides easy file management using standard FTP
clients.
♦
Telnet Server. The Telnet server features a command line interface similar to the MS-
DOS™ environment.
♦
HTTP Server. The module features a flexible HTTP server with SSI functionality.
This enables the user to configure a web interface (or web page) accessing I/O values
in the 105G.
♦
Email Client (SMTP). The application can send email messages using the Mailbox
interface. Predefined messages stored within the file system can be sent, triggered by
a specified I/O value in the 105G. It is also possible to include I/O values in emails,
using SSI functionality.
♦
IP Access Control. It is possible to configure which IP addresses and what protocols
that are allowed to connect to the module.
4.9.1
Linking I/O Registers with Ethernet Bytes
Select “Bus Config” from the left-hand menu. I/O registers need to be linked to Ethernet
bytes in the same way as for the Profibus 105G - please read section 4.6 above. The
difference between the Ethernet version and Profibus version is simply the number of bytes
available in the Anybus interface. With the Ethernet version, there are 2048 input bytes and
2048 output bytes.
Note that “bit transfers” count from the most significant bit (MSB) with the Ethernet
interface, instead of LSB with the Profibus interface. If you transfer 3 bits with an offset of
2, then you will be transferring bits 6, 5 and 4 of the byte (bit 7 being the MSB). Another
example - if you transfer 10 bits, starting at byte 89, offset 3 - then bits 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0
of byte 89, and bits 7, 6, 5 and 4 of byte 90 will be transferred.
