1.2 System Overview
The modular RSTi-EP system supports common fieldbus systems and conforms to IEC 61131-2. Each
station is assigned a bus address in the fieldbus structure. Only the network adapter is fieldbusspecific; the I/O modules are independent of the fieldbus.
Up to 64 active I/O modules can be combined in a RSTi-EP station. The largest expansion possible
depends on the maximum amount of data transmitted by the selected fieldbus, in particular the
configuration, parameter, or process data for the module types provided.
The following components belong to the RSTi-EP product series:
• Fieldbus network adapter (gateway): Head station for converting the respective fieldbus
protocol on the RSTi-EP system bus
• Active I/O modules:
o Modules with digital input (DI) or digital output (DO) with 2, 4, 8 or 16 channels
o Modules with analogue input (AI) or analogue output (AO) with 4 or 8 channels
o Pulse width modulation modules (PWM)
o Digital counter modules (CNT)
• Passive I/O modules (no fieldbus communication)
o 24 V power-feed modules (PF) for input or output current
o Potential distribution modules (AUX)
o Empty modules acting as placeholders (ES)
• Functional safety modules
o Safe power-feed modules (EP-19xx) 24 V for output current, providing one or two
inputs (with two channels each) for safety circuits
• Mechanical fixing elements
o End bracket
o End plate

1.2.1 Double-click Installation
The RSTi-EP station modules can be installed quickly and simply. When attaching the module to the
DIN rail, a clear clicking noise can be heard, which means that the module has clicked into place. In
the second step, which involves pushing the module being installed together with the neighboring
module, a further clicking noise indicates that the modules have been correctly connected to each
other.

mode. Refer to the following derating table.
Example:
Height 3000 m (9842.52 ft): maximum operational temperature is 60° C (140 °F) x 0.88 = 52.8°C
(136.76 °F) at maximum 8A.

Configuration
3.1 Order and Arrangement of the Modules
The RSTi-EP system elements are designed to be installed on a profile rail according to EN 60715 [1.4
x 0,26 in (35 × 7.5 mm)], a steel strip in accordance with Annex A of EN 60715, or a tin-plated steel
strip.
Note: A RSTi-EP station may be built up to a maximum length of 3.28 ft (1 m). Therefore, at most
82 modules (including max. 64 active modules) can be aligned on a network adapter.
The RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail.
Installation Position of the RSTi-EP Station on the DIN Rail (Horizontal Installation)
Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible. In this case however, the heat
dissipation is reduced such that the derating values change (refer to the section Current Demand and
Power Supply). In the case of vertical mounting, the network adapter must always be arranged as the
first module at the bottom and secured with an end bracket for vertical mounting.

Chapter 3: Configuration
Attention
A maximum of three passive modules (potential distribution module, powerfeed module or blank module) may be placed in successive positions. Then at
least one active module must follow.
Installation Position of the RSTI-EP Station on the DIN Rail (Vertical Installation)
A RSTi-EP station may only be installed in this sequence (starting from the left/bottom):
• End bracket
• Network adapter
• Up to 82 modules (including max. 64 active modules)
• End plate and end bracket
3.1.1 Arrangement of Safe Power-feed Modules
A safe power-feed module EP-19xx module can be positioned anywhere in the RSTi-EP station. All the
following output modules (except for the EP-2814 and EP-2714 relay modules) up to the next EP-19xx
module are safely disconnected (safety segment). Multiple EP-19xx modules/safety segments can be
arranged within a station.
Note: When using RSTi-EP EP-19xx modules, also refer to the Modules for Functional Safety Manual
(GFK-2956).

Chapter 3: Configuration
Attention
Depending on how the station shielding is implemented, the specified
distances may have to be made larger, where necessary.
3.1.2 Power Supply Concept
The RSTi-EP system uses three internal current paths as described in the following chapter, Detailed
Descriptions of the Fieldbus Network Adapters. Input and output paths are supplied separately, therefore a
custom-fit refreshing by power-feed modules is easily feasible.
The following figure shows the general supply concept. For detailed description and calculation of the current
demand refer to the sections, Example Calculation for the Power Supply and Calculation of Power Loss of
this manual.
3.2 Installation Distances
In order to be able to carry out the installation and subsequent maintenance work and to ensure
sufficient ventilation, the RSTi-EP station must be installed while observing the following minimum
distances (refer to the following figures).
The minimum permissible conductor bending radii must also be observed. Earth terminals already
installed can be ignored when calculating the distance.

for the must be added for the end bracket.
3.3 Use in a Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
If the RSTi-EP is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere rated as Zone 2, the housing must meet
the requirements of explosion protection type Ex n or Ex e and protection class IP54. Sensors and
actuators that are located in Zone 2 or in a safe zone can be connected. All cable glands on the
housing must be approved for Ex e.

3.4 Spring-style System Cabling
RSTi-EP modules (except HD modules) and network adapters are equipped with the spring-style
connector system. Single-strand and fine-strand lines with wire-end ferrules can be inserted without
the need for a tool. Lines with a cross-section measuring between 0.14 mm2 and 1.5 mm2 (AWG 26 –
16) can be connected.
The external dimensions of the crimped wire-end ferrules must conform to IEC 60947-1.
3.5 Current Demand and Power Supply
The RSTi-EP system uses three internal current paths:
The ISYS system current path supplies the communication part of the I/O modules; it is fed from the
network adapter input supply and cannot be interrupted by any module. The maximum currentcarrying capacity of ISYS allows a RSTi-EP station to be expanded with a maximum of 64 active
modules without having to refresh the power.
The IIN input current path supplies the input circuit of the input modules as well as the connected IS
sensors. The current must be refreshed with EO-7631 (power feed in) modules as required. These EP7631 modules isolate the input current path towards the left (towards the network adapter), and as a
result start a new electricity segment towards the right.
The IOUT output current path supplies the output circuit of the output modules with power, as well as
the connected IL actuators. The current must be refreshed with the EP-7641 (power feed-out), as
required. These EP-7641 modules isolate the output current path to the left (towards the network
adapter), and as a result start a new electricity segment to the right.
Note: The design of the power supply being used must take start-up peaks into account.
3.5.1 Power Supply Derating
The power supply is restricted according to the temperature. The following values apply for the
horizontal and vertical positioning of the RSTi-EP station:

3.6 Example Calculation for the Power Supply
The power supply must be calculated individually for each station installation. Therefore the
simultaneity factor g and the current demand of each module, as well as the devices to be
connected must be established (refer to the example calculation table).
In the example station, an EPXPNS001 network adapter is configured with four EP-1214 modules
and eight EP-2218 modules. The cumulative current demand for each module is now calculated to
determine whether and at which point a EP-7631 power-feed module must be positioned to refresh
the current path. A power-feed module must always be used where the current demand
exceeds 10 A.
Note: The power refresh must be separately calculated for the input and output current paths. The
system voltage need not be considered during this step.
Note: Use the RSTi-EP Power Supply Configuration Guide to perform this calculation automatically.
3.6.1 Calculation of the Current Demand for the Input Current
The current consumption of the network adapter must be considered for the main power supply,
and the sum of consumption values is multiplied by the simultaneity factor g for each following
module:
In the case of an additional power supply (power refresh) with a EP-7631 power-feed module, only
the sensor power supplies and the module current consumption have to be considered:

3.6.2 Calculation of the Current Demand for the Output Current
The current consumption of each module and the current demand of the connected actuators must
be considered for the output current. There is no difference in the calculation of the main power
supply and power refresh:
Example:
The values in the following table are used to calculate the current demand of the example station
(cumulative for each module). The input current is:
Module 1:
I = 0.116 A + (0.008 A + 0.012 A) + (0.06 A x 1) = 0.196 A
Module 2:
I = 0.196 A + (0.008 A + 0.012 A) + (0.06 A x 1) = 0.276 A
The values for the other modules are calculated accordingly. The result shows that the accumulated
value for up to 12 modules remains under 10 A, and therefore a power supply module need not be
used for the input current path. Results for the output current path:
Module 5:
I = 0.015 A + (0.5 A x 2) = 1.015 A
Module 6:
I = 1.015 A + (0.015 A + (0.5 A x 4) = 3.03 A
Module 10:
I = 6.175 A + (0.015 A + (0.5 A x 4) = 8.19 A
Module 11 (without power refresh):
I = 8.19 A + (0.015 A + (0.5 A x 4) = 10.205 A
Therefore the available 10 A would be exceeded. As a result, an EP-7641 power supply module must
be positioned as the 11th module, which will supply the required power to the subsequent modules
after the power feed module. Unused current values may not be included.
Module 11 (as per PF-O):
I = (0.015 A + (0.5 A x 4) = 2.015 A
Module 12 (as per PF-O):
I = 2.015 A (0.015 A + (0.5 A x 4) = 4.030 A

Atmosphere
The module specific data, needed to calculate the output power loss, are provided in the ATEX
certificate which you can download from the GE website.
3.8 Feedback Energy in DO Modules
With digital output modules, power is fed back through the channels when inductive loads are
switched off. The respective permissible breaking energy is noted in the technical data of the DO
modules. Depending on the switching frequency, the breaking energy leads to additional energy loss
in the output module.
If the maximum permissible feedback energy for a module is exceeded, the module shuts down
temporarily.
Note: Feedback energy can be prevented by installing external freewheeling protection. With it, the
same switching rate can be achieved with an inductive load as with a resistive load.

4.1 Profibus DP Network Adapter EPXPBS001
The EPXPBS001 network adapter is a PROFIBUS-DP device certified by the PROFIBUS user
organization. The network adapter is the head module for the RSTi-EP communication bus, to which
up to 64 active RSTi-EP modules can be connected. The PROFIBUS-DP network adapter has a Sub-D
socket and supports all services in accordance with the DP-V1 specification.
The network adapter can be accessed with a system-independent web server application via the
USB service interface. Thus, all information, such as diagnostics, status values and parameters, can
be read and all connected modules can be simulated or forced.
The station's main power supply is integrated in the network adapter. Power is supplied via two 4pole connectors, separated into the input and output current paths.

4.1.2 Addressing
The network adapter on the PROFIBUS-DP is addressed via the two rotary switches.
Note: A maximum of 125 addresses (1 to 125) can be assigned. Each address may be assigned only
once in the overall bus structure. Addresses 1 and 2 are generally used by the control
systems. Bus addresses 000 plus 126 and higher may not be used.
The most significant digit is set with rotary switch H, the least significant digit with rotary switch L .
The switches are labelled in the hexadecimal numbering system (0 to 9, A=10, B=11, C=12, … F = 15). A
hexadecimal to decimal conversion table is provided in the annex.
Coding: Address = (H*16) + L
Default Setting EPXPBS001: Address = 3
Addressing examples:
Examples for Addressing the EPXPBS001
PROFIBUS address 15: H = 0, L = F
PROFIBUS address 112: H = 7, L = 0
PROFIBUS address 44: H = 2, L = C

Network Adapter EPXETC001
The EPXETC001 network adapter is an EtherCAT1 device certified by the EtherCAT Technology Group.
The network adapter is the head module for the RSTi-EP system bus, to which up to 64 active RSTi-EP
modules can be connected. The EtherCAT network adapter has two Ethernet ports and an integrated
switch.
The network adapter can be accessed with a system-independent web server application via the
USB service interface or the EtherCAT. Thus, all information, such as diagnostics, status values and
parameters, can be read and all connected modules can be simulated or forced.
The station's main power supply is integrated in the network adapter. Power is supplied via two 4pole connectors, separated into the input and output current paths.

4.4.4 Configuration of the IP Address
The web server can be used to define whether a static IP address shall be used or the address shall
be assigned automatically (DHCP/BootP).
Network adapters using firmware version 01.xx.xx are preset to the static IP address 192.168.0.222.
Network adapters using firmware version 02.00.00 or higher will by default send a DHCP discover
first. If no assignment by a DHCP server follows during the next 30 seconds, the static IP address
192.168.0.222 will be set.
Overview of the Editable Parameters EPXMBE001
1
Parameter “Additional TCP port“
Another TCP port additionally to the standard port (502) can be enabled using this parameter. Apart
from the values 80 (reserved for http) and 161 (reserved for SNMP) every number from 1 to 65535 can
be used. Value 0 deactivates the port. The standard port 502 will remain open in any case.
2
Parameter “Save module parameters“ in the web server
The choice Yes or Standard cannot be displayed in the web server, caused by the data structure of
this parameter. The display will be reset to No anytime.

Function codes 1, 2, 5 and 15 for bit-wise access to registers. For the usage of these codes please note:
In MODBUS protocol bit addressing separated from register addressing has not been specified. Bit and register address
need to be implemented within the access address as follows: dismiss the most significant digit of the register address,
shift the three less significant digits to the left and use the vacant least significant digit for bit addressing. Example:
register access with function code 1 to address 0x80AB would be a read access to register 0x080A bit 11. Therefore the
usage of function codes 1, 2, 5, 15 is limited to the address range of 0x0000 – 0x0FFF.

Structure of packed process data
The byte granularly packed process data contains all input data (register range 0x0000 to 0x01FF)
and output data (register range 0x0800 to 0x09FF) of the RSTi-EP station.
Note: The start address(es) of each module’s process data are listed in register 0x2B00 – 0x2B7F
(refer to the section 0x2B00 – 0x2B7F Module offsets of process data).
Note: Process data is mapped according to how the modules are arranged. To avoid larger gaps in
the process data, the different modules should be arranged in an optimal manner.

If a diagnostic alarm is activated (register 0x1134) and there is a diagnostic message for a module, it
is indicated here with a set bit. A module’s slot position corresponds to its position in the 64-bit data
field (minus passive modules without slot recognition). Example: 0x0000 0000 0000 0002 = There is a
diagnostic alarm for module 2.
Reading the module’s diagnostic memory (0xAXXX) confirms the diagnosis and resets the
corresponding bit. In case of multiple diagnoses for one module, only the most up-to-date diagnosis
is displayed. The next diagnostic is then placed in a wait loop and only becomes active once the
current one has been confirmed.

4.4.12 0x101C – 0x101F Collective Process Message for I/O Modules
If a process alarm is activated (register 0x1133) and there is an alarm for a module, this is indicated
here with a set bit. A module’s slot position corresponds to its position in the 64-bit data field (minus
passive modules without slot recognition). Example: 0x0000 0000 0000 0002 = There is a process
alarm for module 2.
Reading the module’s process alarm memory (0xBXXX) confirms the alarm and resets the
corresponding bit. In case of multiple process alarms for one module, only the latest alarm is
displayed. The next alarm is then placed in a wait loop and only becomes active once the current one
has been confirmed.
4.4.13 0x1028 – 0x102F Module Status
The module status (2 bits per module) is displayed in the corresponding bit positions of the 128 bits.

4.4.14 0x1030 MODBUS DATA EXCHANGE Watchdog, Current Time
Amount of time (input value * 10 ms) still remaining on the active watchdog to monitor the exchange
of process data. If a 0 is read, the watchdog has expired and must be restarted.
If 0xFFFF is read, the watchdog is deactivated.
4.4.15 0x1120 MODBUS DATA EXCHANGE watchdog, predefined time
In this register, the watchdog is activated/deactivated and the watchdog time is set. Process date
can be exchanged as long as the watchdog is deactivated or it is activated and still running. But it is
accepted only after a watchdog reset to the current time. The length is calculated with the input
value * 10 ms. Entering 0 deactivates the watchdog.
4.4.16 0x1121 MODBUS DATA EXCHANGE Watchdog Reset Register
If Bit 0 in this register is set, the predefined time is loaded into the watchdog time (watchdog reset).
If Bit 8 in this register is set, an expired watchdog (value 0 in register 1030) is reactivated.
4.4.17 0x1122 Lock force Mode on Web Server
In default setting the force mode can be enabled via the web server (after Login). The force mode can
be locked by writing the double word ”LOCK“ (0x4C4F, 0x434B). Writing of ”FREE“ (0x4652, 0x4545) will
unlock the force mode again.

Bit
Name/Description
2 to 15
reserved
1
MB_ImmediateWritePermission
– 0: during the first write access, write authorization is requested for the corresponding Modbus connection. If
this is not successful, an exception response with the exception code 0x01 is generated. If it is successful,
the write access is executed and write authorization remains in effect until the end of the connection.
– 1: write authorization for the corresponding Modbus connection is already requested when the connection
is being established. As a result, the first Modbus connection receives the write authorization, and nothing
happens for all those that follow (as long as Bit 0 = 1).
0
MB_OnlyOneWritePermission
– 0: all Modbus connections have write authorization
– 1: in all cases only one Modbus connection can be assigned write authorization. Once assigned, write
authorization is retained until there is a disconnect. After the connection that has write authorization is
disconnected, the next connection which attempts write access receives write authorization.
4.4.18 0x1031 MODBUS CONNECTION Mode Register
4.4.19 0x1131 MODBUS CONNECTION Timeout in Sec
This register determines how long a Modbus connection must be inactive before it is ended with a
disconnect.
4.4.20 0x1132 Check Reference List prior to Data Exchange
If the value in register 0x1132 is set to 0, the data exchange begins without checking the reference
module list (0x2800 and the following) against the current module list (0x2A00 and the following). The
reference module list must also not be described.
If the value in in register 0x1132 is set to 1, the data exchange only starts if the reference module list
(0x2800 and the following) matches the current module list (0x2A00 and the following).
4.4.21 0x1133 Process Alarm
If the value in this register is set to 0, process alarms are reported, but it is not necessary to confirm
or read them. If the value in this register is set to 1, process alarms are reported and they must be
confirmed by reading the corresponding register.
4.4.22 0x1134 Diagnostic Alarm
If the value 0 is set in this register, the diagnostic alarm is deactivated. Pending diagnostics do not
have any effect on the exchange of process data and must not be confirmed. They are, however,
displayed locally on the RSTi-EP hardware with red LEDs (SF and module) and also can be read in the
module-specific diagnostic registers 0xAXXX.
If the value in this register is set to 1, diagnostics alarms are reported, and they must be confirmed by
reading the corresponding register.
4.4.23 0x1135 Field Bus or Reference List Error Behavior
If the value in this register is set to 0, in case of a field bus or reference list error all outputs are set to
0.
If the value in this register is set to 1, in case of a field bus error all outputs are set to the substitute
values.
If the value in this register is set to 2, in case of a field bus error all outputs are held at the last
process value.

If the value in this register is set to 1, the behavior during a field bus error is used.
4.4.25 0x1137 Data Format
If the value in this register is set to 0, data is transferred in Motorola format.
If the value in this register is set to 1, data is transferred in Intel format.
4.4.26 0x113C – 0x113F Save Module Parameters
Load default module parameters (0x113C – 0x113D) loads the default parameter set of all modules
(LOAD). This conforms to the Standard option in the web server.
Save module parameters (0x113E – 0x113F) stores the current image of all module parameters in
the network adapter (SAVE). Subsequent changes will not be considered unless they are saved again.
There is no need to enter parameters again after restarting the network adapter. This conforms to
the Yes option in the web server.
Inputs in both register in the Motorola format follow this scheme:
Using the Intel format the inputs follow “DAOL“ and “EVAS“:
The not editable parameter Restore module parameters in the web server will be set to Yes as soon as
the network adapter has sent saved parameters to the modules.
4.4.27 0x27FE Number of Entries in the Current Module List
This displays the number of modules that were connected when the network adapter was started.
4.4.28 0x27FF Number of Entries in the Reference Module List
This displays the number of modules that were entered into the reference list.
4.4.29 0x2800 – 0x287F Reference Module List
Each module identifier is made up of 4 bytes (2 registers). If a 1 is set in register 1132, the reference
module list must be identical to the current module list before the data exchange can begin.
4.4.30 0x2A00 – 0x2A7F Current Module List
Each module identifier is made up of 4 bytes (2 registers) (refer to the Overview of module IDs). The
modules that were connected when the network adapter was started are entered here. To simplify
configuration, the current module list can be copied into the reference module list.
4.4.31 0x2B00 – 0x2B7F Module offsets of process data
For each module there are two registers reserved to indicate the offset between the start address
within the packed pro- cess data and the address 0x0000: The first register indicates the bit-offset of
the outputs, the second one indicates the bit-offset of the inputs. Thus, it is possible to use these
GFK-2958D RSTi-EP User Manual 88

Chapter 4 Detailed Descriptions of the Fieldbus Network Adapters
information directly for the access to coils or Descrete Inputs. Converting the address syntax is
necessary for a register- wise access (refer to the table “Implemented modbus functions”).
In case there are no outputs or inputs, the register entry is 0xFFFF.
4.4.32 0x8000 – 0x87FF Process Data Inputs
For each module a data length of 64 bytes (32 registers) is reserved.
Example: Module 3 starts at address 0x8040.
4.4.33 0x9000 – 0x97FF Process Data Outputs
For each module a data length of 64 bytes (32 registers) is reserved.
Example: Module 3 starts at address 0x9040.
4.4.34 0xA000 – 0xA7FF Diagnostics
For each module a diagnostics data length of 64 bytes (32 registers) is reserved.
Example: Module 3 starts at address 0xA040.
In case of a diagnostics message, the 47 bytes of the module diagnosis are entered here from the
corresponding tables (see the table of diagnostic data in the corresponding module description in the
module chapter).
If a 1 is set in register 0x1134, reading out the corresponding diagnosis results in a confirmation of
the alarm.
4.4.35 0xB000 – 0xB7FF Process Alarms
For each module a process alarm data length of 64 bytes (32 registers) is reserved.
Example: Module 3 starts at address 0xB040.
In case of a process alarm, the 4 bytes of the module are entered here from the corresponding table
(see the table of process alarms in the corresponding module description in the module chapter).
4.4.36 0xC000 –0xFFFF Parameters
For each module a parameter data length of 256 registers is reserved. Example: Module 3 starts with
address 0xC040. The modules can be parametrizes via the web server (s. Chapter 10) or via the
Modbus master.
One register is assigned to each module parameter with a size of max. 16 bit. 32 bit parameters use
two subsequent registers (consider Motorola format!). The sequence of parameters as well as the
optional values are listed in the parameter tables of the individual module descriptions (s. Chapter 6).
Example: Parameter 8 of module 3 has the address 0xC207 (provided that there is no 32 bit
parameter prior to it in the same module). Examples for 32 bit parameters are “Period duration“ of
the pulse width modulation modules and „End value“ of the counter modules.
