· Make sure, that the power supply is off at the PC or at the connecting device.

· Open the PC cabinet and install or remove the NANL-C500-RE card only after disconnecting power.

An electrical shock is the result of a current flowing through the human body. The resulting effect depends on the intensity and duration of the current and on its path through the body. Currents in the range of approximately ½ mA can cause effects in persons with good health, and indirectly cause injuries resulting from startle responses. Higher currents can cause more direct effects, such as burns, muscle spasms, or ventricular fibrillation.

In dry conditions permanent voltages up to approximately 42.4 V peak or 60 V DC are not considered as dangerous if the contact area is equivalent to the size of a human hand.

The analyzer card NANL-C500-RE or NANL-B500G-RE described in this user manual, act as a passive Ethernet analyzer in Real-Time Ethernet systems. The NANL-C500-RE card or the NANL-B500G-RE device analyze the data traffic in a communication stretch and protocol the arriving Ethernet frames.

For process data aquisition and for the clear presentation of process values for netANALYZER the software extension netANALYZER Scope serves. The

frame data are captured on the hard disk and can be used for further analysis in Wireshark.

Description 19/80

3.1 Recording and analyzing data traffic

For devices with two Ethernet channels the analyzer card NANL-C500-RE and the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE capture the Ethernet frames and

adds the time stamps to them. Therefore the analyzer card or the analyzer device must be connected over two patch cables from one of the TAP to the

Ethernet device connections.

Figure1: Typical application (Use Case 2) - The communication between a device and its connection partners in a network should be analyzed

In the "Interactive operating mode" the data capturing must be configured and started via the PC software. This way the analyzer card NANL-C500RE or the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE and the PC software capture the data packets of the communication line, transmit the data packets and save them on the hard disk. On the NANL-B500G-RE analyzer device, data recording is alternatively performed in the "Autonomous mode" with start and stop via the REC button without netANALYZER Scope software.

On the analyzer card NANL-C500-RE or at the analyzer device NANLB500G-RE two TAP are integrated, in consequence two communication channels are operational, without a PC must be connected permanently.

Description 20/80

In combination with the driver and the firmware the analyzer card NANLC500-RE or the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE store the data via DMA

on the hard disk of the PC. Using the PC software and its export function the data can be transformed to the open WinPcap format (*.pcap), which can be analyzed e. g. with Wireshark.

Figure3: Typical analyzer application with the capturing of the Ethernet data transfer and IO events

Additionally, events of up to four digital inputs can be captured. At the four digital inputs the input signals produce a special Ethernet frame in the analyzer card NANL-C500-RE or the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE. This frame is not on the line, but is created for evaluation purposes.

Note:

For the GPIO events in Wireshark a pseudo Ethernet frame is shown (MAC Address 00:02: A2: FF: FF: FF, Ether Type = 0x88ff), this is not a true Ethernet frame, but is inserted as wildcard in the firmware. Then this frame is decoded as GPIO event e. g. with Wireshark.

3.2 Interactive and Autonomous operating mode

Figure4: Interactive and Autonomous operating mode

Interactive operating mode

In the "Interactive operating mode", the NANL-C500-RE card and the NANL-B500G-RE device are connected to a PC.

Autonomous operating mode

For the NANL-B500G-RE device you can use the "Autonomous operating mode". In this operating mode (from the netANALYZER firmware image version 1.2.0.0) the device is not connected to a PC and you can integrate the analyzer device into a communication link and start and stop the recording of frames by means of a button (red REC button). The data are stored directly on the connected USB mass storage device.
