Network Connection over EtherNet/IP
The amplifier EMGZ309._.EIP is able to communicate with other devices over an
Ethernet network. CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) is used as the protocol for the
data link. The amplifier acts as a so called “Producer” and the machine control (or
PLC) as the “Consumer”.
5.1
EtherNet/IP Specification:
Physical layer: Ethernet IEEE 802.3.
Transport protocol: TCP/IP und UDP
Standard: CIP IEC 61158
Conformity: CPF 2 (Communication Profile Family 2) IEC 61784-1
5.2
Amplifier Functionality over EtherNet/IP
Basically all functions for configuration and calibration can be performed over
EtherNet/IP. Furthermore, the measured tension values are cyclically propagated
over the network and made available to the Consumer (PLC).
5.3
Integration of EMGZ309._.EIP in an Ethernet Network
In order to integrate the amplifier in an Ethernet network and enable data transfer
over it following conditions must be fulfilled:
✔
An EMGZ309 amplifier with the option EtherNet/IP (EIP) must be used.
✔
The IP-Address must be assigned in the fix address block and must be
unambiguously. It may only exist once in the network.
✔
The network mask must correspond with the used device configuration.
If these prerequisites are given, the controller will recognise the amplifier as an
EtherNet/IP device in the network and be able to communicate with it. The
interface information for EMGZ309._.EIP is defined in an EDS-file. The EDS file is
only used as documentation and cannot be imported into RSLogix 5000.
EDS-files for EMGZ309._.EIP can be downloaded from the FMS webpage.
Note
The device does not support the import of the EDS files. The import with
development software e.g. RSLogix5000 will generate error messages.
Utilize “Messages” to change parameter values of the device. Details are explained
in the sample file which is available for download on the FMS website.

Configuration of the Amplifier via EtherNet/IP
EMGZ309._.EIP may, but need not be configured via EtherNet/IP. The Amplifier
can be configured by means of a machine control unit. This unit is integrated in
