Network Connection over EtherNet/IP
The amplifier EMGZ321._.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 EMGZ321._.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 EMGZ321 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 EMGZ321._.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 EMGZ321._. 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.
