• Improved PLC interfaces

- Increased PLC interface bandwidth provides improved performance and lower latencies when interfacing to higher bandwidth serial and Ethernet devices such as RFID readers.

- Transfer of large received serial device packets up to 1518 bytes.

- Transfer of large received Ethernet device packets up to 2048 bytes.

- Throttling of received data to the PLC in the Write-to-Tag/File receive mode ensures data received by the PLC is not overwritten before it can be processed.

- Disabling of non-filtered receive queue ensures the PLC only receives the latest received serial/ Ethernet device data.

• New embedded web pages

- PLC Interface Diagnostics page, which provides statistics and error messages to monitor and help diagnose PLC interface problems.

- Serial/Ethernet Device Communication Statistics page, which is a comprehensive statistics page for all serial and Ethernet device interfaces. Includes packet, byte, and error counts to the PLC(s) and Application(s) as well as comprehensive filtering statistics.

• Transmit and receive raw/ASCII serial and socket (Ethernet device) data

• Filtering of the data

• Extraction of RFID and barcode parameters

• A connection to an optional application via a TCP/IP socket

The DeviceMaster UP provides EtherNet/IP connectivity to the entire ControlLogix family of PLCs as well as the SLC, PLC-5, and MicroLogix PLCs.

2.1.1. ControlLogix Family

The DeviceMaster UP supports ControlLogix PLCs. You can configure DeviceMaster UP through the PLC program or the DeviceMaster UP Server Configuration web page. The DeviceMaster UP interface for the ControlLogix PLC is described in 2.3.

What is EtherNet/IP?

2.1.3. What is EtherNet/IP?

EtherNet/IP is an industrial application layer protocol for industrial automation applications. The IP stands for ‘Industrial Protocol’. Built on the standard TCP/IP protocols, it uses long established Ethernet hardware and software to define an application layer protocol for configuring access and controlling industrial automation devices. EtherNet/IP classifies Ethernet nodes as predefined device types with specific behaviors. The EtherNet/IP application layer protocol is based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) layer. Building on these protocols, EtherNet/IP provides a seamless integrated system from the Industrial floor to the enterprise network.

PLC Transmit STX Append Value

Description

This attribute indicates the Serial Port Device Type. Raw Data device is the only currently supported option.

DeviceMaster UP supports the following commands:

• Reset serial port - This option resets the serial port hardware and statistics

counters. You must reset the DeviceMaster UP after modifying any of the serial port configuration options, including: baud rate, interface mode, parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control, or DTR control. It does not clear the sequence counters.

• Save in Flash - This option saves the port configuration in flash memory. These

settings are restored when you reboot the DeviceMaster UP.

• Clear sequence counters - This option clears the Receive Produced and Consumed

Sequence counters for the selected port.

• Clear statistics counters - This option clears the statistics counters for the selected

port.

These are standard serial port settings. Attribute 10 - PLC Transmit STX Append Value - You can set this attribute to append

an STX (start of transmission) byte sequence which is configurable as 1 or 2-bytes to the beginning of the serial packet before it is sent.

The length indicates the number of STX bytes. The valid values for length are:

• 0 (zero) - Setting this attribute to zero disables this function.

• 1 (one STX byte) - Inserts one STX byte before the data.

• 2 (two STX bytes) - Inserts two STX bytes before the data.

• Value1 - Specifies the transmit character associated with the first STX byte. (Only

if the length is not zero.) You can specify a value between 0 and 255.

• Value2 - Specifies the transmit character associated with the second STX byte.

(Only if length is two bytes.) You can specify a value between 0 and 255.

Description

You can set this attribute to append an ETX (end of transmission) byte sequence which is configurable as 1 or 2 -bytes to the end of the serial packet before it is sent.

The length indicates the number of ETX bytes. The valid values for length are:

• 0 (zero) - Setting this attribute to zero disables this function.

• 1 (one ETX byte) - Inserts one ETX byte at the end of the data.

• 2 (two ETX bytes) - Inserts two ETX bytes at the end of the data.

• Value - Specifies the transmit character associated with the first ETX byte. (Only if

the length is not zero.) You can specify a value between 0 and 255.

• Value2 - Specifies the transmit character associated with the second ETX byte.

(Only if length is 2-bytes.) You can specify a value between 0 and 255.

This attribute detects an STX (start of transmission) byte sequence which is configurable as 1 or 2-bytes when it receives a serial packet.

The length indicates the number of STX bytes. The valid values for length are:

• 0 (zero) - Setting this attribute to zero disables this function. When disabled, the

DeviceMaster UP accepts the first byte received after the last ETX byte(s) as the start of the next data packet.

• 1 (one STX byte) - Scans serial data for one STX byte. If the DeviceMaster UP finds

an STX byte it collects the data. If the first byte is not the STX byte, the DeviceMaster UP discards the byte. The DeviceMaster UP continues to discard the bytes until the DeviceMaster UP finds an STX byte.

• 2 (two STX bytes) - Scans serial data for two STX bytes. If the DeviceMaster UP

finds two STX bytes it collects the data. If the first two bytes are not the STX bytes, the DeviceMaster UP discards the bytes. Bytes continue to be discarded until the DeviceMaster UP finds two STX bytes.

• Value1 - Specifies the character that represents the first STX byte. DeviceMaster

UP looks for this character in the first STX byte. (Only if the length is not zero.) You can specify a value between 0 and 255.

• Value2 - Specifies the character that represents the second STX byte.

DeviceMaster UP looks for this character in the first STX byte. (Only if length is two bytes.) You can specify a value between 0 and 255.

This attribute detects an ETX (end of transmission) byte sequence which is configurable as 1 or 2 bytes marking the end of the serial packet.

The length indicates the number of ETX bytes. The valid values for length are:

• 0 (zero) - Setting this attribute to zero disables this function. When disabled, the

DeviceMaster UP uses the Receive Timeout Between Packets (attribute 15) to indicate the end of data packet.

• 1 (one ETX byte) - Scans serial data for one ETX byte. When the DeviceMaster UP

finds an ETX byte it identifies the data as a serial packet.

• 2 (two ETX bytes) - Scans serial data for two ETX bytes. When the DeviceMaster

UP finds two ETX bytes it identifies the data as a serial packet.

• Value1

- Specifies the character to scan for in the first ETX byte. (Only if the length

is not zero.) You can specify a value between 0 and 255.

• Value2 - Specifies the character to scan for in the second ETX byte. (Only if length

is 2-bytes.) You can specify a value between 0 and 255.

This attributes specifies:

• How long DeviceMaster UP waits (in milliseconds) if the Receive ETX length is not zero (0) and it does not receive an ETX byte sequence.

• The time to wait (in milliseconds) between serial packets if the Receive ETX Detect length is set to zero (0).

Attribute 16

Serial Port Transfer Options

Description

This attribute specifies special serial port transfer options. The following options are supported:

• 01 Hexadecimal (Bit 0) - DeviceMaster UP strips received STX/ETX characters from

received packets before sending the packet to the PLC.

• 02 Hexadecimal (Bit 1) - DeviceMaster UP discards received packets with errors.

• 04 Hexadecimal (Bit 2) - (PLC-5/SLC only) DeviceMaster UP receives Most

Significant (MS) byte of 16-bit integer first. The default is transmit Least Significant (LS) byte first.

08 Hexadecimal (Bit 3) - (PLC-5/SLC only) DeviceMaster UP transmit Most significant (MS) byte of 16-bit integer first. The default is transmit Least Significant (LS) byte first.

• 10 Hexadecimal (Bit 4) - Enable Transmit Sequence Number Checking.

- DeviceMaster UP rejects messages with duplicate sequence numbers (that is, the same sequence number as the previous transmit data message) and increments the Duplicate Transmit Sequence Error Count.

- DeviceMaster UP transmits messages with unexpected transmit sequence numbers (that is, sequence numbers that are not the same as or are not equal to the previous sequence number plus one) and increments the Unexpected Transmit Sequence Error Count.

• 20 Hexadecimal (Bit 5) - Disable Queuing of Non-Filtered Rx messages to PLC. If

filtering is disabled, only the last message received is sent to the PLC.

• 40 Hexadecimal (Bit 6) - DeviceMaster UP strips received STX/ETX characters from

received packets before sending the packet to the application.

• 80 Hexadecimal (Bit 7) - Drop oversized received data packets. This attribute specifies the Ethernet data transfer method used by the DeviceMaster

UP. There are three methods that DeviceMaster UP can use to transfer data received from a serial device to the PLC. These methods are:

• Off - The DeviceMaster UP does not allow any data to be sent to the PLC.

• Unsolicited - Write-to-Tag receive method - DeviceMaster UP writes the received serial data directly into tag(s) on the PLC.

The following diagram shows the Write-to-Tag receive data flow:

Attribute 17

Receive (DeviceMaster UP to PLC) Ethernet Data Transfer Method

The following restrictions apply to this method:

•The Receive Data T ag Name (Attribute 24) must have the same name as the tag

defined on the PLC. (For more information, see Attribute 24 on Page 24.)

• The tag on the PLC must be of type SINT and must be large enough to contain

the sequence number, length, and data field associated with the received data structure. (For more information, see 2.3.2.

Serial Port Data Transfer Object

Definition (71 Hex) on Page 29.)

• An incremented sequence number indicates new data.

• The PLC program must scan and consume new data faster than the data can

be received on the serial port to ensure that no data is lost.

Attribute 17 (Continued)

Receive (DeviceMaster UP to PLC) Ethernet Data Transfer Method

Description

• Unsolicited - Write-to-Tag-Synced receive method - DeviceMaster UP writes the serial data into tag(s) on the PLC and provides a mechanism to synchronize the data flow between the PLC and DeviceMaster UP.

In this method, DeviceMaster UP does not write the serial packet to the tag on the PLC until the PLC updates the consumed sequence number (Serial Port Data Transfer object Attribute 4) to match the produced data sequence number. Then the DeviceMaster UP writes the data into the tag data location on the PLC in the same way as the Unsolicited - Write-to-Tag receive method. For more information, see the description of Attribute 4 in 2.3.2.

Serial Port Data Transfer Object

Definition (71 Hex) on Page 29. The following diagram shows the Write-to-Tag-

Synced receive data flow:

The following restrictions apply to this method:

•The Receive Data Area Tag Name (Attribute 24) must have the same name as the

tag defined on the PLC.

• The tag on the PLC must be an SINT type and large enough to contain the

sequence number, length, and data field associated with the received data structure. (For more information, see the 2.3.2.

Serial Port Data Transfer

Object Definition (71 Hex) on Page 29.)

• An incremented sequence number indicates new data.

• The DeviceMaster UP does not write new data to the tag on the PLC until the

consumed sequence number has been incremented to match the last produced sequence number.

• While the DeviceMaster UP queues received serial port data, the PLC program

must consume the new data faster than the data can be received on the serial port to ensure the receive buffers on the DeviceMaster UP do not overflow. (For example: If the serial port can receive two serial packets per second, then the consumption rate must be at least one packet every 500 microsecond.)

• Polling receive method - The PLC requests data on a periodic basis. In this method, DeviceMaster UP returns the serial data in the response to the

data request message. The PLC requests data by accessing the Serial Port Data Transfer Object Attribute 2. For more information, see the description of Attribute 2 in 2.3.2.

The following restrictions apply to the Polling receive method:

• The data tag to receive the data on the PLC must be large enough to contain the sequence number, length, and data field associated with the received data structure. (For more information, see the 2.3.2.

Serial Port Data Transfer

Object Definition (71 Hex) on Page 29.)

• An incremented sequence number indicates new data.

• The same data may be returned more than once. However, the same data packet also returns the same sequence number.

• A length of zero (0) indicates no data.

• While the DeviceMaster UP queues received serial port data, the PLC program must poll for new data faster than the data can be received on the serial port to ensure the receive queues on the DeviceMaster UP do not overflow. (For example: If the serial port can receive two packets per second, then the polling rate must be at least once every 500 microseconds.)

Specifies the maximum acceptable size of a received serial packet. The maximum received serial packet size is 1518 bytes while operating in Write-to-Tag/File or Write- to-Tag-File-Synced receive modes.

The maximum rate (or minimum time interval) in milliseconds, that messages are sent to the PLC tag in the Write-To-Tag receive method. This attribute configures the DeviceMaster UP to space the messages to the PLC to prevent overrunning of data before the PLC can process it.

This attribute specifies the slot number on the PLC where the controller resides. The slot numbers typically start at zero (0) for the first slot.

Note: The Polling method does not use this attribute.

This attribute specifies the IP address in hexadecimal format for the PLC EtherNet/IP card. For example, an IP address of 10.1.2.100 is 0A010264 in hexadecimal.

Note: The Polling method does not use this attribute.

This attributes specifies the PLC tag name. It indicates where to write received data while operating in the Unsolicited - Write-to-Tag or Unsolicited - Write-to-Tag-Synced receive method.

The maximum length for the tag name is 40 characters.

This setting enables/ disables the Application Socket Interface. Enabling this function allows an application to be connected to the serial port. If both the PLC and application are connected to the serial port, both can transmit to and receive data from the serial port. However, the PLC and application cannot communicate directly to each other.

Enabling this setting allows the application to connect to the DeviceMaster UP via an Ethernet TCP/IP socket.

• 0 = Disables listening - The DeviceMaster UP does not accept connection attempts.

• 1 = Enables listening - The DeviceMaster UP accepts connection attempts from the application socket port.

This setting controls if and how the DeviceMaster UP attempts to connect to the application at the application connection IP address and application connection socket port.

• 0 = Never - The DeviceMaster UP does not attempt to connect to the application.

• 1 = Connect Always - The DeviceMaster UP attempts connecting to the application socket port until a connection is made.

• 2 = Connect On Data - The DeviceMaster UP does not attempt to connect to the application socket port until there is data to send to the application. Once data is received from the serial device, the DeviceMaster UP attempts connecting to the application until a connection is made.

This setting controls if and how the DeviceMaster UP disconnects from an application.

• 0 = Never - The DeviceMaster UP does not disconnect from the application socket port.

• 1 = Disconnect On Idle - The DeviceMaster UP disconnects when there has been no transmit or received data between the serial device and application socket port for a specified Idle period (Attribute 32: Application Connection IP Address).

This is the socket port number on the DeviceMaster UP the application connects to if Application Listen Enable is enabled.

This is the application socket port number the DeviceMaster UP connects to if the Application Connect Mode is set to either Connect Always or Connect On Data.

This is the application IP address in hexadecimal format that the DeviceMaster UP connects to if the Application Connect Mode is set to either Connect Always or Connect On Data. For example, an IP address of 10.1.2.100 is 0A010264 in hexadecimal.

The idle timeout period in milliseconds that is used if the Application Disconnect Mode is set to Disconnect On Idle.

The filter/data extraction mode to be employed on data to be sent to the PLC.

•0 = Off

• 1 = String (128 char max) - Raw/ASCII data is filtered up to 128 characters (or bytes) in length.

• 2 = RFID (EPCglobal formats) - RFID data in any of the EPCglobal formats is filtered, the associated parameters is extracted, and the extracted data and RFID tag is sent to the PLC in a specified format.

• 3 = Barcode (UPC/EAN formats) - Barcode data in specified UPC/EAN formats is filtered, the associated parameters is extracted, and the extracted data and barcode is sent to the PLC in a specified format. See the barcode format

Description

The filter/data extraction mode to be employed on data to be sent to the application.

• 0 = Off

• 1 = String (128 char max) - Raw/ASCII data is filtered up to 128 characters (or bytes) in length.

• 2 = RFID (EPCglobal formats) - RFID data in any of the EPCglobal formats is filtered, the associated parameters is extracted, and the extracted data and RFID tag is sent to the application in a specified format.

• 3 = Barcode (UPC/EAN formats) - Barcode data in specified UPC/EAN formats is filtered, the associated parameters is extracted, and the extracted data and barcode is sent to the application in a specified format. See the barcode format

definitions in Attribute 41 on Page 28.

The application filter mode can be set independently of the PLC filtering mode. The only exceptions are:

• If the PLC filter mode is set to RFID, the application filter mode cannot be set to Barcode.

• If the PLC filter mode is set to Barcode, the application filter mode cannot be set to RFID.

See the DeviceMaster UP Filtering and Data Extraction Reference Guide

(Page 10) for

further details. This attribute controls what to do with unrecognized RFID or barcode data.

• 0 = Off - Send unrecognized data to the PLC and/or application.

• 1 = Discard unrecognized data to the PLC. Allow sending of unrecognized data to the application.

• 2 = Discard unrecognized data to the application. Allow sending of unrecognized data to the PLC.

• 3 = Discard unrecognized data to both the PLC and application.

This attribute is applicable only to RFID filtering and only if the Antenna filtering option is enabled. It allows the DeviceMaster UP to filter RFID tags based on Antenna groupings. The possible groupings are:

Description

This attribute defines the RFID filtering criteria to the PLC. If an option is enabled, it is used to decide when an RFID tag can be filtered or sent to the PLC.

•01 Hex = Encoding/Numbering - Include the Encoding/Numbering code in the

filtering criteria, which is part of the RFID tag or barcode data.

•02 Hex = Filter Value - Include the Filter Value in the filtering criteria, which is part

of the RFID tag data.

•04 Hex = Antenna - Include the Antenna number in the filtering criteria. This is

data from the RFID reader and not from the RFID tag.

•08 Hex = Company - Include the Company code in the filtering criteria, which is

part of the RFID tag or barcode data.

•10 Hex = Product/Location - Include the Product/Location code in the filtering

criteria, which is part of the RFID tag or barcode data.

•20 Hex = Serial Number - Include the Serial Number in the filtering criteria, which

is part of the RFID tag data.
