About This User Manual

Any security measures described in this document, for example, for user access,

password security, network security, firewalls, virus protection, etc., represent

possible steps that a user of an 800xA System may want to consider based on a

risk assessment for a particular application and installation. This risk assessment,

as well as the proper implementation, configuration, installation, operation,

administration, and maintenance of all relevant security related equipment,

Terminology About This User Manual

14 9ARD000014-600 A

EDS The Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file contains device

specific information of EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet

devices.

EtherNet/IP The EtherNet/IP network offers a full suite of control,

configuration, and data collection services by layering

the Common Industrial Protocol over the standard

protocols used by the Internet (TCP/IP and UDP).

EtherNet/IP uses TCP/IP for general

messaging/information exchange services and UDP/IP

for I/O messaging services for control applications. This

combination of well-accepted standards provides the

functionality required to support both information data

exchange as well as control applications.

Explicit Messaging Explicit Messaging provide a one-time transport of a

data item. They can be sent as connected or

unconnected. These messages are typically point-to-

point.

HW Abbreviation for Hardware.

I/O Abbreviation for Input and Output.

I/O Adapter An I/O Adapter receives implicit communications

requests from an I/O Scanner, then produces and

consumes its I/O data, typically at the requested cyclic

rate. An I/O adapter can be a simple digital input device,

or something more complex such as modular pneumatic

valve system.

I/O Connection CIP connection which provides dedicated, special

purpose communication paths between producing

application and one or more consuming applications for

data exchange.

I/O Messages/Packet I/O Message consists of a Connection ID and optional

associated I/O data. One I/O message means one

complete Input/ Output Assembly data.

9ARD000014-600 A 15

Implicit messaging 

(I/O Messaging)

Also known as I/O messaging. Implicit Messages are

exchanged across I/O Connections with an associated

Connection ID. The Connection ID defines the meaning

of the data and establishes the regular/repeated

transport rate and the transport class. It can be point-to-

point or multicast and are used to transmit application

specific I/O data.

ISP Input Set as Predetermined. ISP values are preset

default values of channels, as seen by the application,

when communication between CI873 and I/O devices

break. ISP is set to the last good value if there is any

channel error.

I/O Scanner An I/O Scanner initiates implicit connections with I/O

adapter devices, that is, it is an I/O Client. A scanner is

typically the most complex type of EtherNet/IP device, as

it must deal with issues such as configuration of which

connections to make, and how to configure the adapter

device. Scanners also typically support initiating explicit

messages, that is, it is also an Explicit Message Client. A

programmable controller is an example of an I/O

scanner (used interchangeably with Scanner class).

LD 800DN LD 800DN is a linking device, which is used to connect

DeviceNet devices with the control level network.

Section 1 Introduction

Overview

The Industrial Ethernet Protocol (EtherNet/IP) is the combination of traditional

Ethernet and an industrial application layer protocol, called the Common Industrial

Protocol (CIP). EtherNet/IP is used in industrial automation applications.

DeviceNet is a low-level industrial application layer protocol, based on Common

Industrial Protocol, for industrial automation applications. DeviceNet is built on the

standard Controller Area Network (CAN).

Both EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet have several features in common with CIP. Both

serve as communication networks between industrial controllers and I/O devices.

CI873 Communication Interface Module

EtherNet/IP device interfaces with the AC 800M controller, through the CI873

communication interface module. CI873 acts as an EtherNet/IP I/O scanner class

device. It originates connections to EtherNet/IP enabled devices and exchanges real

time I/O data with them.

The CI873 communication interface provides the following functionalities:

• Configuration of EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices.

• CI873 as EtherNet/IP I/O scanner.

• I/O communication with EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices using Class 1

connection.

• Status supervision of CI873, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, and Linking devices.

CI873 originate a Class 1 connection to Linking device (LD 800DN) for

DeviceNet device status.

• Hot swap of CI873, LD 800DN, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP devices.

Linking Device LD 800DN Section 1 Introduction

20 9ARD000014-600 A

• CI873 supports connection point based Class 1 connection for reading and

writing data to EtherNet/IP devices (except Allen Bradley PLC).

• CI873 supports tag based Class 1 for tag reading and Class 3 for tag writing to

Allen Bradley Logix 5000 series PLC.

• CI873 Scanner diagnostics.

• LD 800DN Scanner diagnostics.

• CI873 Firmware Upgrade.

• Online upgrade for CI873 Firmware.

• CI873 module redundancy.

Linking Device LD 800DN

The linking device LD 800DN functions as an EtherNet/IP target on the EtherNet

network. It acts as a gateway device by forwarding the content of the messages from

EtherNet/IP networks to DeviceNet networks and vice-versa, without acting on the

content of the messages.

The LD 800DN Linking device acts as the DeviceNet Master in the DeviceNet

network, allowing connectivity to 63 DeviceNet slave devices.

Device Import Wizard

For configuring EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices using Control Builder, the

Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file of the device is required. The EDS file is a

specially formatted ASCII file of the device, defining its characteristics. The device

vendor provides this file, to allow access to device configuration parameters. The

Device Import Wizard, an integrated component of the Control Builder, allows

importing of such EDS files into the hardware library.
