Fieldbus systems
Various product variants of the BCL 500
i
series are available for connecting to different
fieldbus systems such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET-IO, Ethernet and EtherNet/IP.
4.5.1
EtherNet/IP
The BCL 558
i
is designed as an EtherNet/IP device (acc. to IEEE 802.3) with a standard
baud rate of 10/100 Mbit. EtherNet/IP makes use of the Common Industrial Protocol (
CIP
)
as an application layer for the user. The functionality of the device is defined via parameter
sets which are clustered in objects, classes and instances. These are contained in an
EDS
file which, depending on the version of the control software, can be used to configure and
integrate the BCL 558
i
into the system. A fixed MAC ID is assigned to each BCL 558
i
by the
manufacturer; this ID cannot be changed.
The BCL 558
i
automatically supports the transmission rates of 10 Mbit/s (10Base T) and
100 Mbit/s (100Base TX), as well as auto-negotiation and auto-crossover.
The electrical connection of the supply voltage, the interface and the switching inputs/
outputs on the BCL 558
i
is performed via several M12 connectors.
Additional information on the electrical connection can be found in chapter 7.
The BCL 558
i
supports the following protocols and services:
• EtherNet/IP
• DHCP
• HTTP
• ARP
• PING
• Telnet
• BootP
Notice!
The BCL 558
i
communicates via the Common Industrial Protocol
(
CIP
).
CIP Safety
,
CIP Sync
and
CIP Motion
are not supported by the BCL 558
i
.
Further information on commissioning can be found in chapter 10.
