P.3 Conventions & Terminology
The following conventions are used throughout this document:
Numbered lists provide sequential steps
Bulleted lists provide information, not procedural steps
The term “user” refers to the person or persons responsible for installing the Anybus Commu- nicator in a network.
The term “ABC” refers to the Anybus Communicator.
Hexadecimal values are written in the format 0xNNNN, where NNNN is the hexadecimal value.
Decimal values are represented as NNNN where NNNN is the decimal value
As in all communication systems, the terms “input” and “output” can be ambiguous, because their meaning depend on which end of the link is being referenced. The convention in this doc- ument is that “input” and “output are always being referenced to the master/scanner end of the link.

2. Basic Operation
2.1 General
The Anybus Communicator gateway is designed to exchange data between a serial sub-network and a higher level network. Unlike most other gateway devices of similar kind, it does not have a fixed protocol for the sub-network, and can be configured to handle almost any form of serial communication.
The gateway can issue serial telegrams cyclically, on change of state, or based on trigger events issued by the control system of the higher level network (i.e. the fieldbus master or PLC). It can also monitor certain aspects of the sub-network communication and notify the higher level network when data has changed.
An essential part of the Anybus Communicator package is Anybus Configuration Manager (ACM), a Windows®-based application used to supply the gateway with a description of the sub-network proto- col. No programming skills are required; instead, a visual protocol description-system is used to specify the different parts of the serial communication.

Internally, the data exchanged on the subnetwork, and the data exchanged on the higher level network, reside in the same memory.
This means that in order to exchange data with the sub- network, the higher level network simply reads and writes data to memory locations specified using the An- ybus Configuration Manager. The very same memory locations can then be exchanged on the subnetwork.
The internal memory buffer is divided into three areas based on their function:
Input Data (512 bytes)
This area can be read by the higher level net- work, the web server and the e-mail client.
(How this data is represented on the higher level network will be described later in this chapter).
Output Data (512 bytes)
This area can be read from/written to by the higher level network, the web server and the e- mail client.
(How this data is represented on the higher level network will be described later in this chapter).
Basic Operation 16
General Data (Up to 1024 bytes)
This area cannot be accessed from the higher level network, but can be used for transfers be- tween individual nodes on the subnetwork, or as a general “scratch pad” for data. The actual size of this area depends on the amount of data that is exchanged on the subnetwork. The Anybus Communicator can handle up to 1024 bytes of general data.
2.2.1 Memory Map
When building the subnetwork configuration using the Anybus Configuration Manager, the different ar- eas described above are mapped to the memory locations (addresses) specified below.

Page 17
Basic Operation 17
The Temperature Regulator has two registers, holding the Setpoint Temperature and the Actual Temperature respectively.
The PLC exchange data between the internal PLC memory and the slaves (in this case the ABC) on the PROFINET network.
The ABC copies the Output Register of the Temperature Regulator to the Input- Data area.
The ABC copies the Temperature-
Setpoint from the Output Data area to
the Input Register in the Temperature-
Regulator.
The PLC Memory associated with
the ABC is exchanged;
Data from the Input Data area is copied to
PLC Input Memory, and PLC Output
Memory is copied to the Output Data
area.

Basic Operation 18
2.3 Subnetwork Protocol
2.3.1 Protocol Modes
The Anybus Communicator features three distinct modes of operation regarding the subnetwork com- munication, called “Master Mode”, “Generic Data Mode” and “DF1 Master Mode”. Note that the pro- tocol mode only specifies the basic communication model, not the actual subnetwork protocol.
•Master Mode
In this mode, the module acts as a master on the subnetwork, and the serial communication takes place in a query-response fashion. The nodes on the network are not permitted to issue messages unless they have been addressed by the module first.
See also “Master Mode” on page 19.
Generic Data Mode
In this mode, there is no master-slave relationship between the subnetwork nodes and the mod- ule; any node on the subnetwork, including the Anybus Communicator, may spontaneously pro- duce or consume messages.
See also “Generic Data Mode” on page 20.
DF1 Master Mode
In this mode, the module acts as a master on the subnetwork, using the DF1 protocol. The serial communication takes place in a query-response fashion.
See also DF1 Protocol Mode” on page 76.
2.3.2 Protocol Building Blocks
The following building blocks are used in Anybus Configuration Manager to describe the subnetwork communication. How these blocks apply to the three protocol modes will be described later in this doc- ument.
•Node
A node represents a single device on the subnetwork. Each node can be associated with a num- ber of transactions, see below.
•Transaction
A “transaction” represents a complete serial telegram, and consists of a number of frame objects (below). Each transaction is associated with a set of parameters controlling how and when to use it on the subnetwork.
Commands
A “command” is simply a predefined transaction stored in a list in the Anybus Configuration Manager. This simplifies common operations by allowing transactions to be stored and reused.
Frame Object
“Frame objects” are low level entities used to compose a transaction (see above). A frame object can represent a fixed value (a constant), a range of values (limit objects), a block of data or a cal- culated checksum.

2.3.3 Master Mode
In this mode, the communication is based on a query-response scheme; when the Anybus Communica- tor issues a query on the subnetwork, the addressed node is expected to issue a response to that query. Nodes are not permitted to issue responses spontaneously, i.e. without first receiving a query.
There is one exception to this rule; the broadcaster. Most protocols offer some way of broadcasting mes- sages to all nodes on the network, without expecting them to respond to the broadcasted message. This is also reflected in the Anybus Communicator, which features a dedicated broadcaster node.
In Master Mode, Anybus Configuration Manager comes preloaded with most commonly used Modbus RTU commands, which can conveniently be reached by right-clicking on a node in the Anybus Config- uration Manager and selecting “Insert New Command”. Note however that this does not in any way prevent other protocols based on the same query-response message-scheme to be implemented.

2.3.4 Generic Data Mode
In this mode, there is no master-slave relationship between the nodes on the subnetwork and the Any- bus Communicator. Any node, including the module, may spontaneously produce or consume a mes- sage. Nodes do not have to respond to messages, nor do they have to wait for a query in order to send one.
In the figure above, the Anybus Communicator “consumes” data that is “produced” by a node on the subnetwork. This “consumed” data can then be accessed from the higher level network. This also works the other way around; the data received from the higher level network is used to “produce” a message on the subnetwork to be “consumed” by a node.

2.4 PROFINET IO
2.4.1 General
The PROFINET IO interface provides PROFINET IO Soft Real-Time Communication. PROFINET is the open Industrial Ethernet standard for Automation from PROFIBUS International.
Supported Features
Soft Real-Time (RT) communication
Cyclic data exchange (10 ms cycle time)
Acyclic Data exchange (Record Data Requests)
Up to 64 slots / 1 subslot
Up to 512 bytes of I/O in each direction
TCP/IP Configuration via DCP (Discovery and Configuration Protocol)
2.4.2 I/O Configuration
PROFINET makes a distinction between fast cyclical data, a.k.a. “IO data”, and acyclical data, called Record Data”. By default, all data in the input and output data areas are exchanged as IO data. It is however possible to specify how much data to exchange as IO data, and how much data to exchange using acyclic Record Data read/write requests.
On PROFIN ET, the IO data is built up by I/O mod ules. In the case of the ABC, the act ual I/O module configuration is adopted from the I/O controller/supervisor, provided that the total I/O sizes specified by the IO controller does not exceed the sizes specified in the Anybus Configuration Manager.
For information about how the IO and Record Data relates to the input and output data areas, see “Da- ta Representation (IO Data & Record Data)” on page 22.
2.4.3 GSDML File
On PROFINET, all devices are associated with a GSDML file. The GSDML file is the equivalent of the PROFIBUS GSD file, and is based on the EXtensible Markup Language (XML).
This file holds information about the device (in this case the Anybus Communicator), its features, and possible I/O configurations. The latest version of the GSDML file for the Anybus Communicator can be downloaded from the HMS website, www.anybus.com
”.

2.4.4 Data Representation (IO Data & Record Data)
As mentioned previously, the actual I/O configuration is determined by the IO Controller. The modules are mapped to the input and output data areas in the order of their slot number.
Example:
In this example, the I/O Sizes for the ABC has been set to the following values:
IO Size In= 256 bytes (0x0100) IO Size Out= 400 bytes (0x0200)
The following modules are specified in the IO Controller:
Slot Module Size Direction Notes
0 0 - (Device Access Point, DAP) 1 16 bytes Input - 2 16 bytes Input/Output - 3 128 bytes Input - 4 64 bytes Input/Output - 5 32 bytes Input - 6 64 bytes Output - 7 128 bytes Output -
Resulting memory layout:
Note the “unused” part of the output data area.The reason for this is that only 272 bytes (128+64+64+16) are actually used in the I/O module configuration, although IO Size Out is set to 400 bytes.

2.5 Modbus-TCP (Read-Only)
2.5.1 General
The Modbus-TCP protocol is an implementation of the standard Modbus protocol running on top of TCP/IP. The same function codes and addressing model are used. The built in Modbus-TCP server pro- vides read-only access to the input and output data areas via a subset of the functions defined in the Modbus-TCP specification.
All Modbus-TCP messages are received/transmitted on TCP port no. 502. For detailed information re- garding the Modbus-TCP protocol, consult the Open Modbus Specification.
2.5.2 Data Representation (Modbus-TCP Register Map)
The following function codes are implemented:
Modbus Function Function Code Associated with No. of I/O:s or data points per command

3. File System
3.1 General
General
The Anybus Communicator features a built-in file system, which is used to store information such as web files, network communication settings, e-mail messages etc.
Storage Areas
The file system consists of the different storage areas:
Non-volatile area (approx. 2 Mb)
This section is intended for static files such as web files, configuration files etc.
Volatile area (approx. 1 Mb)
This area is intended for temporary storage; data placed here will be lost in case of power loss or
reset.
Chapter 3
Important Note:
The non-volatile storage is located in FLASH memory. Each FLASH segment can only be erased ap- proximately 100000 times due to the nature of this type of memory.
The following operations will erase one or more FLASH segments:
Deleting, moving or renaming a file or directory
Writing or appending data to an existing file
Formatting the file system
Conventions
\ (backslash) is used as a path separator
File paths originate from the system root, and as such must begin with \
File paths must not end with \
Names may contain spaces but must not begin or end with one
Names must not contain one of the following characters: \ / : * ? “ < > |
Names cannot be longer than 48 characters (plus null termination)
File paths cannot be longer than 256 characters (filename included)
The maximum number of simultaneously open files is 40
The maximum number of simultaneously open directories is 40

File System 25
3.3 System Files
The file system contains a set of files used for system configuration. These files, known as “system files”, are regular ASCII files which can be altered using a standard text editor. Note that some of these files may also be altered by the Anybus Communicator itself, e.g. when using SSI (see “Server Side Include (SSI)” on page 35).
The format of the system files are based on the concept of “keys”, where each “key” can be assigned a value, see example below.
Example:
The exact format of each system file is described later in this document.
The contents of the above files can be redirected:
[Key1] value of key1
[Key2] value of key2
Example:
In this example, the contents will be loaded from the file “here.cfg”.
[File path] \i\put\it\over\here.cfg
Note: Any directory in the file system can be protected from web access by placing the file web_accs.cfg in the directory, see “Authorization on page 33.

Page 26
4. Basic Network Configuration
4.1 General Information
The Anybus Communicator offers two modes of operation regarding the network settings (see below). Which mode to use is determined by the “TCP/IP Settings” parameter in Anybus Configuration Man- ager, see “Fieldbus Settings” on page 54.
TCP/IP Settings: Enabled
When operating in this mode, the contents of the system file “ethcfg.cfg” will be ignored com- pletely, causing the following behavior:
- DNS services will not be available
- Domain and Host name cannot be set
- E-mail services will not be available
- Settings received from the network (i.e. via HICP or DCP) will be lost in the event of a power loss or reset.
TCP/IP Settings: Disabled
When operating in this mode, the Anybus Communicator module will use the settings stored in the system file “ethcfg.cfg”. If this file is missing, the module will attempt to retrieve its settings via DHCP or HICP for 30 seconds. If no configuration has been received within this period, the module will halt and indicate an error on its status LEDs.
Chapter 4
DCP (Discovery and Basic Configuration)
The Anybus Communicator fully supports the DCP protocol, which allows an IO Controller/Supervi- sor to change the TCP/ IP settings during runtime.
DHCP/BootP
The Anybus Communicator can retrieve the TCP/IP settings from a DHCP or BootP server. If no DHCP server is found, the module will fall back on its current settings (i.e. the settings currently stored in “\ethcfg.cfg”).
If no current settings are available (i.e. “ethcfg.cfg is missing, or contains invalid settings), the module will halt and indicate an error on the onboard status LEDs. The network configuration may however still be accessed via HICP, see “Anybus IPconfig (HICP)” on page 29.

4.3 PROFINET Settings
The file “\pnio.cfg” holds various PROFINET-related settings. The file is read once during startup, i.e. the Anybus Communicator must be restarted in order for any changes to have effect (unless its contents has been changed by an IO Controller/Supervisor via the DCP protocol. In such case, the settings will have effect immediately).
4.4 IP Access Control
It is possible to specify which IP addresses that are permitted to connect to the Anybus Communicator. This information is stored in the system file “\ip_accs.cfg”.
Note: * (asterisk) may be used as a wildcard to select IP series.

Basic Network Configuration 29
4.5 Anybus IPconfig (HICP)
The Anybus Communicator supports the HICP protocol used by the Anybus IPconfig utility from HMS, which can be downloaded free of charge from the HMS website. This utility may be used to con- figure the network settings of any Anybus product connected to the network. Note that if successful, this will replace the settings currently stored in the configuration file (“ethcfg.cfg”).
Upon starting the program, the network is scanned for Anybus products. The net- work can be rescanned at any time by clicking “Scan”. In the list of detected de- vices, the Anybus Communicator will ap- pear as “ABC-PRT”. To alter its network settings, double-click on its entry in the list.
A window will appear, containing the IP configuration and password settings. Validate the new settings by clicking Set”, or click “Cancel to abort.
Optionally, the configuration may be protected from unauthorized access by a password. To enter a password, click on the “Change password” checkbox, and enter the password under “New password. When protected, any changes in the configuration requires that the user supplies a valid password.
When done, click “Set”. The new IP configuration will now be stored in the configuration file (“eth- cfg.cfg”).
Note that if “TCP/IP Settings” has been enabled in the Anybus Configuration Manager, any settings received via HICP will be lost in the event of a power loss or reset.

5. FTP Server
5.1 General
The built-in FTP server provides a way to access the file system using a standard FTP client.
The following port numbers are used for FTP communication:
TCP port 20 (FTP data port)
TCP port 21 (FTP command port)
Security Levels
The FTP server features two security levels; admin and normal.
Normal-level users
The root directory will be “\user”.
Admin-level users
The root directory will be “\”, i.e. the user has unrestricted access to the file system.
Chapter 5
User Accounts
The user accounts are stored in two files, which are protected from web access:
\user\pswd\sys_pswd.cfg”
This file holds the user accounts for normal-level users.
\pswd\ad_pswd.cfg”
This file holds the user accounts for admin-level users.
File Format:
The format of these files are as follows:
Username1:Password1 Username2:Password2 Username3:Password3
Note: If no valid user accounts have been defined, the Anybus Communicator will grant admin-level access to all users. In such case, the FTP accepts any username/password combination, and the root directory will be “\”.

6. Web Server
6.1 General
The Anybus Communicator features a flexible web server with SSI capabilities. The built-in web pages can be customized to fit a particular application and allow access to I/O data and configuration settings.
The web server communicates through port 80.
See also...
“Server Side Include (SSI)” on page 35
“IP Access Control” on page 28
Protected Files
For security reasons, the following files are protected from web access:
Files located in “\user\pswdcfg\pswd
Files located in “\pswd”
Files located in a directory which contains a file named “web_accs.cfg”
Chapter 6
Default Web Pages
The Anybus Communicator contains a set of virtual files which can be used when building a web page for configuration of network parameters. These virtual files can be overwritten (not erased) by placing files with the same name in the root of disc 0.
This makes it possible to, for example, replace the HMS logo by uploading a new logo named “\lo- go.jpg”. It is also possible to make links from a web page to the virtual configuration page. In such case the link shall point to “\config.htm”.
These virtual files are:
\index.htm - Points to the contents of config.htm \config.htm - Configuration frame page \configform.htm - Configuration form page \configform2.htm - Configuration form page \store.htm - Configuration store page \logo.jpg - HMS logo \configuration.gif - Configuration picture \boarder.bg.gif - picture \boarder_m_bg.gif - picture \index.htm - Points to the contents of config.htm \eth_stat.html - Configuration frame page \cip_stat.html - Configuration form page \ip_config.shtm - Configuration form page \smtp_config.shtm - Configuration store page \style.css - HMS logo \arrow_red.gif - Configuration picture

printf
This function includes a formatted string, which may contain data from the input and output data areas, on a web page. The formatting of the string is similar to the C-language function printf().
Syntax:
<?--#exec cmd_argument="printf(’String to write’, Arg1, Arg2, ..., ArgN)"-->
Like the C-language function printf() the “String to write” for this SSI function contains two types of objects: Ordinary characters, which are copied to the output stream, and conversion specifications, each of which causes conversion and printing of the next successive argument to printf. Each conversion specification begins with the character % and ends with a conversion character. Between the % and the conversion character there may be, in order:
Flags (in any order), which modify the specification:
- which specifies left adjustment of the converted argument in its field. + which specifies that the number will always be printed with a sign (space) if the first character is not a sign, a space will be prefixed. 0 for numeric conversions, specifies padding to the field with leading zeroes. # which specifies an alternate output form. For o, the first digit will be zero. For x or
X, 0x or 0X will be prefixed to a non-zero result. For e, E,f, g and G, the output will always have a decimal point; for g and G, trailing zeros will not be removed.
A number specifying a minimum field width. The converted argument will be printed in a field at least this wide, and wider if necessary. If the converted argument has fewer characters than the field width it will be padded on the left (or right, if left adjustment has been requested) to make up the field width. The padding character is normally space, but can be 0 if the zero padding flag is present.
A period, which separates the field width from the precision.
A number, the precision, that specifies the maximum number of characters to be printed from a string, or the number of digits to be printed after the decimal point for e, E, or F conversions, or the number of significant digits for g or G conversion, or the minimum number of digits to be printed for an integer (leading 0s will be added to make up the necessary width)
A length modifier h, l (letter ell), or L. “h” Indicates that the corresponding argument is to be printed as a short or unsigned short; “l” indicates that the argument is along or unsigned long.
The conversion characters and their meanings are shown below. If the character after the % is not a con- version character, the behavior is undefined.
Character Argument type, converted to
d, i byte, short; decimal notation (For signed representation. Use signed argument) o byte, short; octal notation (without a leading zero). x, X byte, short; hexadecimal notation (without a leading 0x or 0X), using abcdef for 0x or ABCDEF for
0X. u byte, short; decimal notation. c byte, short;single character, after conversion to unsigned char. s char*; characters from the string are printed until a "\0" is reached or until the number of characters
indicated by the precision have been printed f float; decimal notation of the form [-]mmm.ddd, where the number of d’s is specified by the preci-
sion. The default precision is 6; a precision of 0 suppresses the decimal point. e, E float; decimal notation of the form [-]m.dddddd e+-xx or[-]m.ddddddE+-xx, where the number of d’s
specified by the precision. The default precision is 6; a precision of 0 suppresses the decimal point. g, G float; %e or %E is used if the exponent is less than -4 or greater than or equal to the precision; oth-
erwise %f is used. Trailing zeros and trailing decimal point are not printed. % no argument is converted; print a %

7.3 Changing SSI output
There are two methods of changing the output strings from SSI functions:
1. Changing SSI output defaults by creating a file called “\ssi_str.cfg” containing the output strings for all SSI functions in the system
2. Temporarily changing the SSI output by calling the SSI function “SsiOutput()”.
7.3.1 SSI Output String File
If the file “\ssi_str.cfg” is found in the file system and the file is consistent with the specification below, the SSI functions will use the output strings specified in this file instead of the default strings.
The files shall have the following format:
[StoreEtnConfig] Success: "String to use on success" Invalid IP: "String to use when the IP address is invalid" Invalid Subnet: "String to use when the Subnet mask is invalid" Invalid Gateway: "String to use when the Gateway address is invalid" Invalid Email server: "String to use when the SMTP address is invalid" Invalid IP or Subnet: "String to use when the IP address and Subnet mask does not match" Invalid DNS1: "String to use when the primary DNS cannot be found" Invalid DNS2: "String to use when the secondary DNS cannot be found" Save Error: "String to use when storage fails" Invalid DHCP state: "String to use when the DHCP state is invalid"
[scanf] Success: "String to use on success" Failure: "String to use on failure"
[IncludeFile] Failure: "String to use when failure"
[SaveToFile] Success: "String to use on success" Failure: "String to use on failure"
[SaveDataToFile] Success: "String to use on success" Failure: "String to use on failure"
[GetText] Success: "String to use on success" Failure: "String to use on failure"

7.3.2 Temporary SSI Output Change
The SSI output for the next called SSI function can be changed with the SSI function “SsiOutput()” The next called SSI function will use the output according to this call. Thereafter the SSI functions will use the default outputs or the outputs defined in the file “\ssi_str.cfg”. The maximum size of a string is 128 bytes.
Syntax:
<?--#exec cmd_argument="ssiOutput( ’Success string’, ’Failure string’"-->
Example:
This example shows how to change the output strings for a scanf SSI call.

8. E-mail Client
8.1 General
The built-in e-mail client can send predefined e-mail messages based on trigger-events in Input- and Output Data areas. The client supports SSI, however note that some SSI functions cannot be used in e- mail messages (specified separately for each SSI function).
See also...
Server Side Include (SSI)” on page 35
Server Settings
The Anybus Communicator needs a valid SMTP server configuration in order to be able to send e-mail messages. These settings are stored in the system file “\ethcfg.cfg”.
See also...
“Ethernet Configuration File (“ethcfg.cfg”)” on page 27
Chapter 8
Event-Triggered Messages
As mentioned previously, the e-mail client can send predefined messages based on events in the Input- and Output Data areas. In operation, this works as follows:
1. The trigger source is fetched from a specified location
2. A logical AND is performed between the trigger source and a mask value
3. The result is compared to a reference value
4. If the result is true, the e-mail is sent to the specified recipient(s).
Which events that shall cause a particular message to be sent, is specified separately for each message. For more information, see “E-mail Definitions” on page 48.
Note that the Input- and Output Data areas are scanned twice per second, i.e. to ensure that an event is detected by the module, it must be present longer than 0.5 seconds.

8.2 E-mail Definitions
The e-mail definitions are stored in the following two directories:
\user\email”
This directory holds up to 10 messages which can be altered by normal-level FTP-users.
•“\email
This directory holds up to 10 messages which can be altered by admin-level FTP-users.
E-mail definition files must be named “email_1.cfg”, “email_2.cfg” ... “email_10.cfg in order to be properly recognized by the module.

10. Basic Settings
10.1 Fieldbus Settings
(Select “Fieldbus” in the Navigation Section to gain access to the parameters described in this section).
General
During start-up the fieldbus interface of the Anybus Communicator is initialized to fit the configuration created in the Anybus Configuration Manager. Optionally, some initialization parameters can be set manually to provide better control over how the data shall be treated by the module.
Fieldbus Type
The Anybus Configuration Manager supports a wide range of net- working systems. Make sure that this parameter is set to “Profinet IO”.
Chapter 10
TCP/IP Settings
To be able to participate on the network the following settings must be configured:
Communicator IP-address
(see “Basic Network Configuration on page 26)
•Default Gateway
(see “Basic Network Configuration on page 26)
Subnet Mask
(see “Basic Network Configuration on page 26)
TCP/IP Settings
Enabled- Use the settings above. Disabled- Use the settings stored in “ethcfg.cfg
IO Sizes
These parameters specify how data from the internal memory buffer shall be exchanged on PROF- INET. This can either be handled automatically by the module, or specified manually.
•Automatic
All data will be represented as I/O Data. (see also Data Representation (IO Data & Record Data)” on page 22)
Fieldbus Type
IO Sizes
User defined
Additional parameter properties appear; “IO Size In” and “IO Size Out”. The specified amount, starting at address 0x0000 of the respective memory buffers, will be reserved for and represented as I/O Data. The remainder will be reserved for Parameter Data.

4.2 Communicator Parameters
Interface
Only serial communication is currently supported.
Control/Status Word
See “Control and Status Registers on page 62.
Value Description
Enabled Enable the Control and Status Registers. The “Data Valid”-bit in the Control Register must
be set to start the sub-network communication.
Enabled but no startup lock This setting is similar to “Enabled, except that the control system is not required to set the
“Data Valid”-bit to start the sub-network communication.
Disabled This setting completely disables the Control and Status Registers.
25
Module Reset
This parameter specifies how the gateway will behave in the event of a fatal error.
Value Description
Enabled The gateway will be restarted, and no error will be indicated to the user. Disabled The gateway will halt and indicate an error.
Protocol Mode
This parameter specifies which protocol mode to use for the sub-network. See Protocol Modes” on page 17.
Value Description
Generic Data Mode This mode is primarily intended for Produce & Consume-based protocols, where there are
no Master-Slave relationship between the gateway and the nodes on the sub-network.
Master Mode This mode is intended for “Query & Response”-based protocols, where a single Master
exchanges data with a number of Slaves.
DF1 This mode is intended for the DF1 protocol. The Anybus Communicator can only be con-
figured as a Master with half-duplex communication. Note: This is the only mode available if you intend to configure an ABC module for DF1.
Statistics
The Transmit- and Receive Counters indicate how many transactions that have successfully been ex- changed on the sub-network. This feature is primarily intended for debugging purposes.
Receive Counter Location
Specifies the location of the Receive Counter in the internal memory buffer.
Transmit Counter Location
Specifies the location of the Transmit Counter in the internal memory buffer.
Statistics
Enables/disables the Receive and Transmit Counters.

Start- and End Character
Note: These parameters are only available in Generic Data Mode.
Start and end characters are used to indicate the beginning and end of a serial message. For example, a message may be initiated with <ESC> and terminated with <LF>. In this case, the Start character would be 0x1B (ASCII code for <ESC>) and the End character 0x0A (ASCII code for <LF>)
Parameter Description Valid settings
End character value End character for the message, ASCII 0x00–0xFF Use End character Determines if the End character shall be used or not Enable / Disable Start character value Start character for the message, ASCII 0x00–0xFF Use Start character Determines if the Start character shall be used or not Enable / Disable
Timing (Message Delimiter)
The parameters in this category differs slightly between the different protocol modes.
•Master Mode
The Message Delimiter specifies the time that separates two messages in steps of 10 ms. If set to 0 (zero), the gateway will use the standard Modbus delimiter of 3.5 characters (the actual number of ms will be calculated automatically based on the currently used communication settings).
Generic Data Mode
The Message Delimiter specifies the time that separates two messages in steps of 10 µs.

As mentioned previously, transactions are representations of the actual serial telegrams exchanged on the serial sub-network. Although the gateway does not feature a scan list in the traditional sense, all nodes and their transactions will be processed in the order they were defined in ACM.
Transactions are handled slightly differently in the three protocol modes:
•Master Mode
For regular nodes, transactions always come in pairs; a query and a response. The query is issued by the gateway, while responses are issued by the slaves on the sub-network. The Broadcaster can only send transactions.
Generic Data Mode
Transactions can be added as desired for both directions. Transactions sent to the sub-network are called “Transaction Produce”, and transactions issued by other nodes are called “Transaction Consume”.
Chapter 6
DF1 Master Mode
Please refer toDF1 Protocol Mode” on page 46.
Theoretically, the gateway supports up to 150 transactions. The actual number may however be less de- pending on the memory requirements of the defined transactions.

Transactions 31
Parameter Description
Update mode This parameter is used to specify when the transaction shall be sent to the slave:
Cyclically
The transaction is issued cyclically at the interval specified in the “Update time parameter.
On data change
The data area is polled for changes at the time interval defined by Update time. A transaction is issued when a change in data is detected.
Single shot
The Query is issued once at start up.
Change of state on trigger
The Query is issued when the trigger byte value has changed. This feature ena- bles the control system to notify the gateway when to issue a particular Query. To use this feature correctly, the control system must first update the data area asso- ciated with the Query/transaction, then increase the trigger byte by one. The loca- tion of the trigger byte is specified by the “Trigger byte address parameter. The trigger byte is checked at the interval specified in the “Update time” parameter.
Update time (10 ms) This parameter specifies how often the transaction will be issued in steps of 10 ms
(relevant only when “Update mode” is set to “Cyclically”, “On data change” or “Change of state on trigger”).
The entered value is multiplied by 10. An entered value of 5 will result in 50 ms.
6.3.2 Parameters (Response)
Parameter Description
Trigger byte This parameter is used to enable/disable the trigger functionality for the response. If
enabled, the gateway will increase the trigger byte by one when the gateway receives new data from the sub-network. This can be used to notify the control system of the updated data.
The location of the trigger byte is specified by the “Trigger byte address” parameter below.
Trigger byte address This parameter specifies the location of the trigger byte in the internal memory buffer.
Valid settings range from 0x000 to 0x1FF and 0x400 to 0xFFF

6.4 Transaction Parameters (Generic Data Mode)
6.4.1 Produce Transactions
Parameter Description
Offline options for fieldbus This parameter specifies the action to take for this transaction if the higher level network
goes offline. This affects the data that is sent to the sub-network.
Clear
Data is cleared (0) on the sub-network if the higher level network goes offline
Freeze
Data is frozen on the sub-network if the higher level network goes offline
NoScanning
Stop subnet scanning for this transaction if the higher level network goes offline
Update mode The update mode for the transaction:
Transactions 32
Cyclically
The transaction is sent cyclically at the interval specified in “Update Time”.
On data change
The data area is polled for changes at the time interval defined by Update time. A transaction is issued when a change in data is detected.
Single shot
The transaction is sent once at startup.
Change of state on trigger
The transaction is sent when the trigger byte has changed. This feature enables the control system to notify the gateway when to issue a particular transaction. To use this feature correctly, the control system must first update the data area associated with the transaction, then increase the trigger byte by one. The location of the trigger byte is specified by the “Trigger byte address” parameter. The trigger byte is checked at the interval specified in the “Update time” parameter.
Update time (10 ms) This parameter specifies how often the transaction will be issued in steps of 10ms
(relevant only when “Update mode” is set to “Cyclically”, “On data change” or “Change of state on trigger”).
The entered value is multiplied by 10. An entered value of 5 will result in 50 ms.
Doc: HMSI-27-309, Rev. 3.11Anybus Communicator PROFINET User Manual
Page 63
Parameter Description
Trigger byte address This parameter specifies location of the trigger byte in the internal memory buffer.
If “Update modeis set to “Change of state on trigger”, the memory location specified by this parameter is monitored by the gateway. Whenever the trigger byte is updated, the gateway will produce the transaction on the sub-network.
This way, the control system can instruct the gateway to produce a specific transaction on the sub-network by updating the corresponding trigger byte.
The trigger byte should be incremented by one for each activation. Please note that the trigger byte address must be unique to each transaction. It can not be shared by two or more transactions.
Note: This parameter has no effect unless the “Update modeparameter is set to “Change of state on trigger”.
Valid settings range from 0x200 to 0x3FF and 0x400 to 0xFFF
6.4.2 Consume Transactions
Transactions 33
Parameter Description
Offline options for sub-network This parameter specifies the action to take for this transaction if the sub-network goes
offline. This affects the data that is sent to the higher level network.
Clear
Data is cleared (0) on the higher level network if the sub-network goes offline
Freeze
Data is frozen on the higher level network if the sub-network goes offline
Offline timeout time (10 ms) This parameter specifies the maximum allowed time between two incoming messages
in steps of 10ms. If this time is exceeded, the sub-network is considered to be offline. A value of 0 disables this feature, i.e. the sub-network can never go offline.
The entered value is multiplied by 10. An entered value of 5 will result in 50 ms.
Trigger byte Enable
Enables the trigger byte. The location of the trigger byte must be specified in “Trig- ger byte address.
The trigger byte value will be increased each time a valid transaction has been con- sumed by the gateway.
The trigger byte will also be increased if the offline option is set to “Clear” and the offline timeout time value is reached.
This feature enables the control system to be notified each time new data has been consumed on the sub-network.
Disable
Disables the trigger byte functionality.
Trigger byte address This parameter specifies the location of the trigger byte in the internal memory buffer.
Valid settings range from 0x000 to 0x1FF and 0x400 to 0xFFF. Please note that the trigger byte address must be unique to each transaction. It can not
be shared by two or more transactions.

The Transaction Editor can be used to edit the individual frame objects of a transaction. The same set- tings are also available in the parameter section of the main window, however the Transaction Editor presents the frame objects in a more visual manner.
Transactions 34
To edit the value of a parameter, click on it and enter a new value using the keyboard. When editing transactions which are based on predefined commands, certain parts of the transaction may not be ed- itable.
The File menu features the following entries:
Example:
The transaction created in this example are built up as follows:
The first byte holds the STX (0x02) followed by two bytes specifying the length of the data field (in this case 8). The next 8 bytes are data and since this is a “query”-transaction, the data is to be fetched from the Output Area which starts at address location 0x202. No swapping will be per- formed on the data. This is followed by a two-byte checksum. The checksum calculation starts with the second byte in the transaction.
The transaction ends with a byte constant, the ETX (0x03).

Transaction
Constant Constant
Variable Length Data Checksum Constant
7.1 General
Each transaction consists of Frame Objects which makes up the serial telegram frame. Each Frame Ob- ject specifies how the gateway shall interpret or generate a particular part of the telegram.
There are 5 types of frame objects, which are described in detail later in this chapter:
Constant Objects
Limit Objects
•Data Objects
Variable Data Objects
Checksum Objects
Example:
The following Transaction consists of several frame objects; three constants, a data object, and a checksum object.

7.3 Constant Objects (Byte, Word, Dword)
Constant Objects have a fixed value and come in three sizes:
•Byte
8 bits
•Word
16 bits
•Dword
32 bits
Constants are handled differently depending on the direction of the transaction:
Produce/Query Transactions
The gateway will send the value as it is without processing it.
Consume/Response Transactions
The gateway will check if the received byte/word/dword matches the specified value. If not, the message will be discarded.
Frame Objects 36
To set the value of the object, select it in the Navigation Section and enter the desired value in the Pa- rameter section.
Parameter Description

7.4 Limit Objects (Byte, Word, Dword)
Limit Objects have a fixed range and come in three sizes:
•Byte
8 bits
•Word
16 bits
•Dword
32 bits
Limit Objects are handled differently depending on the direction of the transaction:
Produce/Query Transactions
This object shall not be used for such transactions (value will be undefined).
Consume/Response Transactions
The gateway will check if the received byte/word/dword fits inside the specified boundaries. If not, the message will be discarded.
Frame Objects 37
There are 3 types of interval objects:
•Byte
8 bit interval
•Word
16 bit interval
•Dword
32 bit interval
To set the range of the object, select it in the Navigation Section and enter the desired range in the Pa- rameter section as follows:
Parameter Description
Maximum Value This is the largest allowed value for the range.
Range:0x00 to 0xFFh(byte) 0x0000 to 0xFFFFh(word) 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFFh(dword) Note: The value must be larger than the Minimum Value.
Minimum Value This is the smallest allowed value for the range.
Range:0x00 to 0xFEh(byte) 0x0000 to 0xFFFEh(word) 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFEh(dword) Note: The value must be less than the Maximum Value.

7.5 Data Object
4 bytes of data
(Variable Data Object)
Length Character
0x04 Data
Data of arbitrary length
(Variable Data Object)
End Character
0x00Data
Data Objects are used to represent raw data as follows:
Produce/Query Transactions
The specified data block is forwarded from the higher level network to the sub-network.
Consume/Response Transactions
The specified data block is forwarded from the sub-network to the higher level network.
To specify the properties of the object, select it in the Navigation Section and enter the desired settings in the Parameter section as follows:
Parameter Description
Byte Swapping No Swapping
No swapping is performed on the data
Swap 2 bytes
A, B, C, D becomes B, A, D, C
Swap 4 bytes
A, B, C, D becomes D, C, B, A
Data Length The length of the data block, in bytes. In case of a Response or Consume transaction, incom-
ing messages where the data size differs from the value specified here will be discarded. Max- imum data length allowed for one frame is 300 bytes.
Data Location The location of the data block in the internal memory buffer.
Frame Objects 38
7.6 Variable Data Object
Note: Only one Variable Data Object is permitted for each transaction.
This object is similar to the Data Object, except that it has no predefined length. Instead, an End or Length-character specifies the size of the data block as follows:
Produce/Query Transactions
The specified data block will be forwarded from the higher level network to the sub-network. The control system must supply an End or Length character in order for the gateway to know the size of the data block.
The End- or Length-character itself may either be forwarded to the sub-network or discarded.
Consume/Response Transactions
The specified data block is forwarded from the sub-network to the higher level network. The End- or Length-character will be generated by the gateway automatically (if applicable).
The End- or Length-character itself may either be forwarded to the higher level network or dis- carded.

7.7 Checksum Object
Most serial protocols features some way of verifying that the data has not been corrupted during trans- fer. The Checksum Object calculates and includes a checksum in a transaction.
Parameter Description
Error Check Start byte
Error Check Type This parameter specifies which type of algorithm to use:
Error check type combined with
Representation •Binary
a. In Generic Data Mode the Start character (if used) will not be included in the checksum calculation.
Specifies the byte offset in the transaction to start checksum calculations on.
CRC (2 bytes)
CRC-16 with 0xA001 polynome (Modbus RTU standard)
•LRC (1 byte)
All bytes are added together as unsigned 8-bit values. The twos complement of the result will be used as a checksum. (Modbus ASCII standard with Error Check Start Byte = 0x01 and Representation = ASCII)
XOR (1 byte)
All bytes are logically XOR:ed together. The resulting byte will be used as a checksum.
ADD (1 byte)
All bytes are added together as unsigned 16-bit values. The lowest 8 bits in the result will be used as a checksum.
The binary value can be converted to its one’s or twos complement. This conversion is carried out before ASCII formatting (see next parameter).
None
The checksum binary value is transmitted without conversion.
One’s complement
The checksum value will be converted to its one’s complement (inverse code). Example: 00001100 will be transmitted as 11110011
Two’s complement
The checksum value will be converted to its two’s complement (complement code). Example: 00001100 will be transmitted as 11110100
The checksum is transmitted in binary format.
•ASCII
All characters in the checksum are converted to ASCII values.

8. Commands
This information is only valid for the Master and Generic Data modes. For DF1 master mode, please refer to “Services” on page 49.
8.1 General
As mentioned previously, commands are actually predefined transactions that can be stored and reused. Just like regular transactions, commands consist of frame objects and are representations of the actual serial telegrams exchanged on the serial sub-network.
Adding a command to a node actually results in (a) transaction(s) being added according to the directions specified in the command. The frame objects in such a transaction may retrieve their values not only from parameters in the parameter section, but also from other sources such as the “SlaveAddress-pa- rameter (see Node Parameters on page 27). In such case, the parameters in the parameter section will be greyed out and cannot be edited directly.
In Master Mode, ACM comes preloaded with commands for most common Modbus RTU functions. Additional commands can easily be added using the Command Editor (see “The Command Editor” on page 43). For DF1 Master Mode, see “Services” on page 49. In Generic Data Mode, no predefined com- mands exist, but custom ones may be implemented as desired.
Chapter 8
8.2 Adding & Managing Commands
To add a command to a node, right-click on the node in the Navigation Section and select “Add Com- mand”.
A list of commands will appear:
Select the desired command in the list, and select “Add Com- mand” in the “Command”-menu. The specified command will be added to the node.
Just like other transactions, the frame objects of added command may be edited in the Navigation/Parameter Section or using the Transaction Editor. Note however that certain frame objects may be locked for editing.

8.3.1 General
The Command Editor is used to define new commands and edit existing ones. This makes it possible to build a library of commands, which can be stored and reused at a later stage.
Note that the Command Editor is somewhat protocol-dependent in the sense that certain frame objects may not be deleted or altered.
The examples in this section use Master Mode. The procedures involved are similar in Generic Data Mode, but without the limitations imposed by the Modbus RTU protocol.

Each column features four rows with the following parameters:
Query/Response/Produce/Consume
The upper right cell indicates the direction of the transaction.
DisplayName
Each column can be named so that the different parts of the command appears in a more user friendly manner when editing its settings in the Transaction Editor or in the Parameter Section of the Main Window.
ObjectType
This row specifies the type of frame object that shall be used for the column.
•Value
This row specifies where the frame object shall retrieve its value/settings.
Value Description

Commands 45
8.3.5 Example: Specifying a Modbus-RTU Command in Master Mode
In the following example, a Modbus-RTU command is created in Master Mode. In Modbus-RTU, a transaction always feature the following parts:
Slave Address (1 byte)
Function Code (1 bytes)
A data field
CRC (CRC-16)
Furthermore, each command always consists of a query and a response.
•Example Query
Query1234
DisplayName Slave Address Function Data Checksum Object Type Byte Object Byte Object Data Object Checksum Object Value [SlaveAddress] ID User User
The value of this byte constant will be set using the “SlaveAd- dress” parameter (see “Node Parameters” on page 27).
The value of this byte constant will be set using the “Command ID”-field.
The size and location of the data associated with this object is determined by the user.
The checksum type etc can be selected by the user. By default, this is set to match the Mod- bus-RTU standard.
Example Response
Response 1234
DisplayName Slave Address Function Data Checksum Object Type Byte Object Byte Object Data Object Checksum Object Value [SlaveAddress] ID User Depend
This value is linked to the “SlaveAddress parameter in the parameter window.
The value of this byte constant will be set using the “Command ID”-field.
The size and location of the data associated with this object is determined by the user.
This object will retrieve its settings from the corresponding object in the Query.
By default, the Modbus-RTU-specific frame objects are already in place, and a data object is inserted between the function code and the CRC. These objects cannot be moved or deleted, however it is pos- sible to add additional objects between the function code and the CRC as desired.
Name the new command by entering its name in the “Command Name” field, and enter a suitable func- tion code in the “Command ID”-field. If the command is allowed to be broadcasted, check the “Allow Broadcasting” checkbox.

9. DF1 Protocol Mode
Subnetwork Devices
Gateway
Control System
This mode makes the Anybus Communicator act as a DF1 protocol master on the sub-network.
9.1 General
In DF1 master mode, communication is based on “services”. A “service” represents a set of commands and operations on the sub-network, that is predefined in the Anybus Communicator. Each service is associated with a set of parameters controlling how and when to use it on the sub-network.
The communication is based on a query-response scheme, where the gateway issues a query on the sub- network. The addressed node on the sub-network is expected to issue a response to that query. Nodes are not permitted to issue responses spontaneously, i. e. without first receiving a query.
Chapter 9
In DF1 Master Mode, ACM comes preloaded with a number of services, that can be selected by the user. The actual DF1 commands, that perform the services during runtime, are predefined in the Anybus Communicator. The configuration of the services is performed by right-clicking on a node in the ACM and selecting “Add Command”.

9.5 Services
Services are commands that can be stored and reused. The user configures each slave with services that can be issued from the master. A total of 50 services are allowed.
The Anybus Communicator supports a selection of DF1 commands. When the gateway is going to ex- ecute a service, it automatically chooses the appropriate DF1 command(s) that are used to perform the service on the selected DF1 node type.

10.1 General
The sub-network Monitor is intended to simplify configuration and troubleshooting of the sub-network. Its main function is to display the data allocated for sub-network communication and detect if any area has been allocated twice (i.e if a collision has occurred).
All configured nodes, and their transactions, are listed in the middle of the screen (B). Selecting and de- selecting single transactions makes it possible to view any combination of allocated data.
Note: The sub-network monitor has a negative influence on the overall performance of the gateway. Therefore the monitor functionality should be used with care.
10.2 Operation

11.1 General
The Node Monitor can provide valuable information when setting up the communication with the sub- network, by allowing individual commands to be issued manually, and monitoring the response (if ap- plicable). It also provides an overview of the memory used by a particular node.
Note: The node monitor has a negative influence on the overall performance of the gateway, i.e. it should be used only when necessary.
The Node Monitor behaves somewhat differently in the three protocol modes:
Master Mode and DF1 Master Mode
The selected Command (Query Transaction) or Service is sent to the sub-network. The response to the Query can be monitored in the Response Section.
Chapter 11
Generic Data Mode
The selected command (Transaction Produce) is sent to the sub-network. It is not possible to monitor any responses etc. generated by other nodes.

19. Configuration Wizards
19.1 General
When creating a new subnetwork configuration, the Anybus Configuration Manager provides a choice between starting out with a blank configuration, or using a predefined template, a.k.a a wizard.
The wizard automatically creates a subnetwork configuration based on information supplied by the user, i.e the user simply has to “fill in the blanks”. Note however that this will only work when the subnetwork fits the wizard profile; in all other cases the “Blank Configuration” option must be used.
19.2 Selecting a Wizard Profile
The following window appears each time the Anybus Configuration Manager is started, or upon select- ing the “New” entry in the “File”-menu (unless it has been disabled in the “Options”-menu, see “Tools” on page 51).
Chapter 19
Currently, the following wizards are available:
Wizard - Modbus RTU Master
This option is suitable for Modbus RTU-based net- works.

Configuration Wizards 91
19.3 Wizard - Modbus RTU Master
This wizard can be used to create a Modbus-RTU-based network configuration based on certain infor- mation about the subnetwork. The online help system explains each configuration step in detail.
Important Notes:
Many OEM devices do not fully comply with the Modbus standard. For example, they may im- plement a variation of this standard or be limited to the use of specific Modbus commands other than the ones used by this wizard. In all cases, the user should consult the documentation of the devices that shall be used on the subnetwork for information about their serial communication requirements, and if necessary contact the manufacturer of the device to obtain further informa- tion about the serial communication protocol.
In the event that the wizard doesn’t handle a particular Modbus command required by a device, it is possible to specify this command manually as a transaction in the Anybus Configuration Manager.
Using this wizard involves the following steps:
Step 1: Communicator Type
Select “Profinet IO”.
Click “Next” to continue.
Tip: It is possible to return to a previous menu at any time without losing any set- tings by clicking “Previous.
Step 1a: I/O Sizes
Specify the sizes of the input and output data areas. For more information, see “IO Sizes on page 54.
Click “Next” to continue.
Step 2: Physical Settings
Select the physical properties of the sub- network.
Click “Next” to continue.

14.1 General
The Control and Status Registers are disabled by default, but can be enabled using ACM (see “Control/ Status Word” on page 25). These registers form an interface for exchanging status information between the sub-network and the fieldbus control system.
The main purpose of these registers is to...
Report sub-network related problems to the fieldbus control system
Ensure that only valid data is exchanged in both directions
Enable the fieldbus control system to start/stop data exchange with selected nodes on the sub- network
If enabled, these registers occupy the first two bytes in the input and output data areas (0x000–0x001 and 0x200–0x201 respectively), which means they can be accessed from the fieldbus just like any other data in these areas.
Note: Internally, these registers are stored in Motorola-format (i.e. MSB first). If the higher level net- work uses a different byte order, the upper and lower bytes will appear swapped.
Chapter 14
14.1.1 Handshaking Procedure
A special handshaking procedure, which is illustrated in the two flowcharts below, must be followed when accessing these registers to ensure that both parts receive proper information.

14.1.2 Data Consistency
The “Data Valid”-bits in the Control and Status Registers are used to ensure data consistency during start-up and fieldbus offline/online transitions.
If the “Control/Status Word”-parameter in ACM is set to “Enabled”, the gateway will wait for the field- bus control system to set the “Data Valid”-bit in the Control Register before it starts exchanging data on the sub-network.
If the same parameter is set to “Disabled or “Enabled but no startup lock”, communication will start as soon as the fieldbus goes online.
State Machine
The fieldbus network participation can be described using a state machine as described below.
A: Offline (No data exchange)
1. Clear the “Data Valid-bit in the Con- trol Register.
2. Write initial data to the Output Area according to the sub-network configu- ration.
3. Wait until the fieldbus control system and the gateway are online on the field- bus network, and shift to state B.
B: Online (Not yet exchanging data)
4. Wait until the “Data Valid”-bit in the Status Register is cleared by the gate- way.
5. Set the “Data Valid”-bit in the Control Register.
6. When the Data Valid”-bit in the Sta- tus Register is set by the gateway, shift to state C.
7. If the gateway goes offline on the fieldbus, shift to state A.
C: Online (Exchanging data)
Exchanging valid data in both directions. If the gateway goes offline on the fieldbus, shift to state A.
Note: The gateway cannot spontaneously clear the “Data Valid”-bit in the Status Register.
Latency
The “Data Valid”-bit in the Status Register may in some cases be delayed. This latency can be caused by a missing node or a bad connection to a node with a long timeout value assigned to it.
Therefore, the fieldbus control system should not wait for this bit to be set before communicating with the sub-network devices; it should be considered as an aid for the fieldbus control system to know when all data has been updated.

15. Advanced Fieldbus Configuration
A
B
15.1 General
The fieldbus interface of the gateway consists of an embedded Anybus-S communication interface. Nor- mally, the Anybus-S configuration settings are set up automatically by the gateway. However, advanced users can configure the Anybus-S card for specific features. This chapter assumes that the reader is fa- miliar with the Anybus-S and its application interface. For more information about the Anybus-S plat- form, consult the Anybus-S Parallel Design Guide.
The standard initialization parameters are determined by the sub-network configuration. Information about the amount of input and output data used for sub-network communication is used by ACM to create the configuration message that sets the sizes of the input and output data areas in the Dual Port RAM of the embedded Anybus-S interface. It is possible to add fieldbus specific mailbox messages to customize the initialization. This is done in the Mailbox Editor, see below.
(A mailbox message is a HMS specific command structure used for low-level communication with an Anybus-S interface. Consult the Anybus-S Parallel Design Guide and the fieldbus appendix for the de- sired fieldbus for further information.)
Chapter 15
15.2 Mailbox Editor
To add a mailbox message to the configuration, right-click on “EndInit” and select “Insert New Mailbox”.
A mailbox message consists of a Header sec- tion and a data section where the Header con- sists of 16 words (32 bytes) and the data section consists of up to 128 words (256 bytes). All fields are editable except the Mes- sage information field that is fixed to 0x4002, which means that only fieldbus specific mail- box messages can be entered here.
The mailbox message is presented as two col- umns; one contains header information (A), the other one contains the message data (B).
To add message data, simply change the Data size parameter in the header column (A), and the corresponding number of bytes will ap- pear in the message data column (B).
For more information about fieldbus specific mailbox messages, consult the separate Anybus-S Fieldbus Appendix for the fieldbus you are using. For general information about the Anybus-S platform, consult the Anybus-S Design Guide.

A.4 Subnetwork Interface
A.4.1 General Information
The subnetwork interface provides for RS232, RS422 and RS485 communication. Depending on the configuration specified in the Anybus Configuration Manager, different signals are activated in the sub- network connector.
A.4.2 Bias Resistors (RS485 Only)
When idle, RS485 enters an indeterminate state, which may cause the serial receivers to pick up noise from the serial lines and interpret this as data. To prevent this, the serial lines should be forced into a known state using pull-up and pull-down resistors, commonly known as bias resistors.
The bias resistors form a voltage divider, forcing the voltage between the differential pair to be higher than the threshold for the serial receivers, typically >200 mV.
Note that bias resistors shall only be installed on one node; installing bias resistors on several nodes may compromise the signal quality on the network and cause transmission problems.
A.4.3 Termination (RS485 & RS422 Only)
To avoid reflections on the serial lines, it is important to properly terminate the subnetwork by placing termination resistors between the serial receivers near the end nodes.
The resistor value should ideally match the characteristic impedance of the cable, typically 100–120 .

a. Connecting this signal directly to Protective Earth (PE) of other nodes may, in case of grounding loops etc., cause
damage to the on-board serial transceivers. It is therefore generally recommended to connect it only to Signal Ground (if available) of other nodes.
