PM9113-0-0 Revision 2
The Model 9113 Ethernet Bridge allows an
Allen-Bradley PLC such as the MicroLogix
1100 to monitor and control an Ultra 3000
Servo Drive over an ethernet connection.
The 9113 connects to the Ultra 3000 CN3
port using a cable provided with the unit
and to the PLC via a 10/100 auto sensing
ethernet port
The PLC will access the 9113 as though it
were another PLC using File/Element
addressing. A pre-defined map exists
within the 9113 that associates Ultra 3000
Host Command Reference parameters to
File/Element numbers.
The 9113 can perform scaling that allows your PLC program to work in scaled values such as inches or
RPMs. Individual scale values exist for position, velocity, and acceleration type parameters.
Free utility programs are available to allow a static IP address to be assigned to the 9113. Shown below
is the simplest application which does not require an ethernet hub or switch. The PLC will access drive
parameters using the Message Instruction.
IP Assignment Utilities
These simple to use utilities allow the static IP address
of the 9113 to be set using either the ethernet port or
the serial communication port. A new 9113 has the
following default configuration:
IP Address: BOOTP Enabled
Ultra 3000: Node 0, 38400 Baud
8 Data, No Parity, 1 Stop

Theory of Operation
The 9113 allows a PLC to read and write parameters within the Ultra 3000 drive using the Message Instruction.
The parameters in the Ultra 3000 are mapped to File/Element numbers so the PLC accesses the Ultra parameters
as though they were File/Elements in a peer SLC500 PLC
For the PLC to read or write File/Elements it must first establish a TCP connection to the 9113. Next the PLC must
request a session identification number from the 9113. The PLC is then ready to read and write File/Elements as
instructed by the PLC program. The TCP and session connections are transparent to the user and PLC program
but do have implications that require understanding. Once a session is established between the 9113 and PLC it
can remain indefinitely providing both devices remain wired, powered, and active.
Once a session is established the 9113 expects the PLC to make regular read/write requests. If a request is not
received for a specified period of time then the session will be cancelled and the TCP connection will be closed.
The session timeout by default is thirty seconds but can be modified using the Option Setup Utility. The mode LED
will be flashing green when a session is active and amber when no session is active..
When using a MicroLogix or SLC 500 Processor use the 500CPU Read and 500CPU Write commands. When
using a CompactLogic Processor use the SLC Typed Read and SLC Typed Write commands.
9113 Utility software is available free of charge at the
Quartech Corporation web site.

plus other related manuals and documents.

Multiple Axis:
The 9113 provides a bridge to a single drive When an application requires multiple drives to be controlled then
each drive will have an associated 9113 with a unique IP address. An ethernet hub or switch will be required to
connect the devices.
Each 9113 in a network must have a unique IP address. The node address of the Ultra 3000 has no significance in
the network but must match the node set in the 9113. The 9113 is configured by the factory to access Ultra node
zero which is the default for a new Ultra 3000 drive. The node used by the 9113 can be modified using the Option
Setup Utility program.
Address Mapping Utility
This utility will find the File/Element number associated
with an Ultra 3000 parameter you select. The utility will
run along with RSLogix and will remain on top unless
minimized. This allows you to quickly select a parameter,
copy the associated File/Element number to the
Windows clipboard then paste the number into the
RSLogix Message Instruction setup dialog.

Ethernet Cables:
The 9113 operates with standard ethernet cables available from many sources. The examples below are
consistent with the TIA/EIA 568-B color code standard.
Straight Through Cable Crossover Cable
Device to Hub / Switch Device to Device
Ethernet Cable Notes:
- Straight through cables have identical color coded ends
- Crossover cables have different color coded ends.
- Straight through cables are used as a patch cord between a device and a hub or switche.
- Crossover cables are used to connect two devices directly without a hub or switch.
- Odd numbered pins are always striped, even numbered pins are always solid colored.
- The solid brown wire is always pin 8.
Serial Port Cables The serial communication port of the 9113 uses RS-232 signal levels.
A standard six pin circular mini-DIN plug must be used on the 9113 end of all
communication cables. A two foot long cable is provided with the 9113 for
connection between the 9113 and Ultra 3000 serial ports.
Pin 1 - No Connection Pin 2 - Transmit Data
Pin 3 - Receive Data Pin 4 - Request-To-Send
Pin 5 - Clear-To-Send Pin 6 - Signal Common

9113 Hardware
Dip Switch:
Four switches are accessible through an opening at the side of the 9113 as shown in the image above. A switch is
OFF when the lever is pushed toward the front of the 9113. Currently switches one and two are not assigned. The
operation of the 9113 is controlled by switch three and four. Do not change switch settings while power is applied
to the 9113!
If switch three and four are off...
This is the normal run mode for the 9113. The Mode LED will flash amber when no session has been initiated by a
PLC or the absence of activity by the PLC has caused a session to expire. The LED will flash green while at least
one session is active. Refer to the theory of operation topic for more information about sessions.
If switch four is on and switch three is on or off...
This is a mode that allows the 9113 firmware to be updated. This requires a special utility program that runs on a
personal computer and a 2181 cable connected between the PC and 9113. Detailed information will be provided
within the utility help files.
If switch four is off and switch three is on...
This is utility mode and is used to modify the IP address assignment and modify the available options in the 9113.
Free utility programs are available that allow modification via the serial port or ethernet port. Refer to the help files
that are provided with the utility programs for specific information.

LED Indicators:
The five LEDs indicate the ongoing status of the 9113 during both Run and Utility mode. During power-up a
checksum verification is made on the 9113 firmware. If the verification fails then the three LEDs on the front will
light red and the micro controller will halt execution. This is a fatal error and may require factory repair
Ethernet Connection LED:
This LED will light green when an ethernet carrier signal is detected. It should be lit when the 9113 is plugged into
a switch or hub that is powered. It should also be lit when the 9113 is plugged directly into a PLC that is powered.
Ethernet Activity LED:
This LED will light amber when ethernet packets are transmitted or received. The LED will light for all packet
transmissions even if the 9113 is not the source or destination device.
Serial Port LED:
The state of this LED is dependant on the operating mode of the 9113.
If in normal run mode...
The LED will light green when successful communications occurs with the Ultra 3000 and red when a
response is not received from the Ultra 3000. A response failure will also cause the Fault LED to light and a
fault to be logged into the internal Fault Register (mapped address B010:038).
If in utility mode...
The LED will light green when a utility program accesses the 9113 through the serial port and red when
accessed through the ethernet port. Once access is made through a specific port, subsequent access will be
allowed only through that port until the 9113 is re-powered.
Fault LED:
The fault LED is valid only during normal run mode. If the internal Fault Register is non-zero then the LED will be lit
red. Once lit the LED will remain lit until the internal fault register is reset by the PLC or through a timed reset.
Mode LED:
In normal run the LED will flash amber when no session has been initiated by a PLC or the absence of activity by
the PLC has caused a session to expire. The LED will flash green while a session is active. In utility mode the LED
will flash red.
Internal Fault Register:
The internal fault register consists of sixteen bits and may be accessed by the PLC as B010:038. The bits indicate
individual errors or faults that are recognized by the 9113 and are listed in the table below. The Option Setup utility
program can be used to allow the PLC to reset the fault and/or set a time period for fault reset. Whenever a fault is
encountered the time period is reloaded so, for the fault register to be cleared the 9113 must be fault free for the
entire period specified. Default setup: PLC and Time reset enabled. Reset period is 60 seconds.
