9.4 PT113EI - Ethernet/IP
The PT113EI is equipped for communication using the Ethernet/IP protocol common with Rockwell
Automation/Allen-Bradley control networks. For further information see
9.4.1.1 Programming and Calibration
PT113PB instruments are programmed and calibrated with AzComT. Analogue digitiser parameter
values are very important for better weighing performance. Please refer to 6.3.1.
9.4.1.2 Profinet Setup
Profinet set up is performed with AzComT software as described in section 6.3.4.3.
Select Gateway tab after connecting AzComT to the instrument.
Ethernet/IP Connectors (RJ45)
EtherNet/IP interfacing of the PT113EI can be performed via hub, switch or serial bus over two
EtherNet/IP ports.
•
Serial bus connection of instruments. You may connect instruments in series to your
Ethernet/IP bus via the two ports.
•
Star connection. If you connect the instrument to your PLC via hub or switch, you can use
either P1 or P2 port on the instrument. You can change the port, if there is any malfunction on
the port in use.
The EtherNet/IP interface supports 10/100Mbit, full or half duplex operation. An EDS file for two port
EtherNet/IP is available on the USB drive which is supplied together with the instrument or for download
from
There are 4 announcement LEDs on the instrument to indicate the interface status as seen below.
The meaning of these LED’s is explained in 5.1.2.5 PT113EI Front Panel
Ethernet Parameters
There are 7 parameters for Ethernet set up, this is performed with EtherX PC software over the Local
Area Network as described in this section.
EtherX PC software is required to set these parameters and is supplied together with the instrument.
Note: Station name is ‘set to ei-io’ as a default.
