5 Interfaces
5.1 Industrial Ethernet
The industrial Ethernet interface is used to control the entire Terminal, set all of the parameters and pro-
vide a wide variety of measurement and analysis data.
The PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or EtherCAT protocol is supported, depending on the design.
5.1.1 TCP/IP Configuration
For the EtherCAT variant, the TCP/IP setting and any changes to it using the tools listed below only be-
come effective with “Ethernet-over-EtherCAT (EoE).”
The preset TCP/IP configuration can optionally be changed with the following example tools/programs
(selection):
J. Schmalz GmbH assumes no responsibility for the download/use of the following programs.
•
BootP-DHCP server or any other DHCP server
•
HMS Ipconfig
•
With Profinet via the controller
5.2 Process Data
The cyclical process data is used to control the ejectors and receive current information reported from the
Compact terminal SCTSi. From the perspective of the higher-level PLC, there is a difference between input
process data (data from the Compact terminal SCTSi) and output process data (data to the Compact termi-
nal SCTSi):
Device description files are available for integration into a higher-level controller.
The process data width is dependent on the actual number of compact terminal ejectors.
5.2.1 Protocol-Specific Settings and Information
Profinet:
The process data can be configured in Profinet. Various configuration modules (module and submodules),
which are predefined in the corresponding GSDML (device description file), are available for this purpose.
These have a designated area for placement in the slots and subslots. Since the user determines exact
placement during project planning, it is not possible to specify a generally valid division of the process
data. In addition, input and output process data are not strictly separated. Rather, the submodules can
have both, for example.
