3. Gateway Concepts
The ETH-1000 is a member of the Millennium Series communication gateways.
Members of this family are designed to provide a uniform interface, configuration
and application experience. This commonality reduces the user’s learning curve,
reducing commissioning time while simplifying support. All Millennium Series
gateways are configured using the ICC Configuration Studio. The ETH-1000
provides simultaneous support for many different communication protocols,
allowing complex interchanges of data between otherwise incompatible
networks.
The heart of the Millennium Series concept is its internal database. The database
is a 4 KB, byte-wise addressable data array. This provides a total size of 4096
bytes for the entire database, referred to as DB
The database allows data to be routed from any supported network to any other
supported network. Data may be stored into the database in either big-endian
style (meaning that if a 16-bit or 32-bit value is stored in the database, the most
significant byte will start at the lowest address) or little-endian style (meaning that
if a 16-bit or 32-bit value is stored in the database, the least significant byte will
start at the lowest address).
The other fundamental aspect of the Millennium Series is the concept of a
configurable “service object”. A service object is used for any master/client
protocol to describe what service (read or write) is to be requested on the
network. The gateway will cycle through the defined service objects in a roundrobin fashion; however, the gateway does implement a “write first” approach.
This means that the gateway will perform any outstanding write services before
resuming its round-robin, read request cycle.
Additionally, the database and service objects provide the added benefit of “data
mirroring”, whereby current copies of data values (populated by a service object)
are maintained locally within the gateway itself. This greatly reduces the requestto-response latency times on the various networks, as requests (read or write)
can be entirely serviced locally, thereby eliminating the time required to execute
a secondary transaction on a different network.
In order to facilitate the free scaling and conversion of native data values, a userconfigurable “multiplier” and “data type” exist for some network configurations. All
network values are scaled by a multiplier prior to being stored into the database
or after being retrieved from the database. The data type is used to determine
how many bytes are allocated for the value in the database, whether the value
should be treated as signed or unsigned, and whether the value should be
interpreted as an integer or a floating point number upon retrieval from the
database.
A typical use of the multiplier feature is to preserve the fractional components of
a network value for insertion into the database. For example, if the floating-point
value “3.19” is read by the gateway from a remote BACnet device, then we could
use a multiplier value of 0.01 to preserve all of the significant digits of this value:
the network representation (3.19) will be divided by the multiplier value (0.01) to
in the protocol driver manuals.
Size

ICC
obtain a resultant value of 319, which will then be inserted into the database.
Similarly, when a value in the database corresponding to a specific service object
is changed (which therefore requires that this updated value be written to the
associated remote device on the network), the service object’s multiplier value
will first be multiplied by the database value in order to obtain the resultant
network value. For example, if 3000 is written to the database at a location
corresponding to a certain service object on the other port, and that service
object’s multiplier value is 0.1, then the database value (3000) will be multiplied
by the multiplier value (0.1) to obtain the resultant network value of 300.0, which
will then be written to the network as a native floating point value.
An appropriate data type should be selected based on the range of the network
data values. For example, if the value of an Analog Output on a remote BACnet
device can vary from –500 to 500, a 16-bit signed data type should be used. If
the value can only vary from 0 to 150, for example, an 8-bit unsigned data type
may be used. Care must be taken so that a signed data type is selected if
network data values can be negative. For example, if 0xFF is written to the
database at a location corresponding to a service object with an 8-bit unsigned
data type, the resultant network value will be 255
However, if 0xFF is written to the database at a location corresponding to a
service object with an 8-bit signed data type, the resultant network value will be
(again, assuming a multiplier of 1). It is also important to select a data type
−1
10
large enough to represent the network data values. For example, if a value of
257 is read by the gateway from a remote device and the data type
corresponding to that service object is 8-bit unsigned, the value that actually will
be stored is 1 (assuming a multiplier of 1). This is because the maximum value
that can be stored in 8-bits is 255. Any value higher than this therefore results in
overflow.
The Millennium Series gateways also provide a powerful data-monitoring feature
that allows the user to view and edit the database in real time, as well as view the
status of ser vice objects via the ICC Configuration Studio’s Database panel when
connected via USB to a PC. The ability to interact with the database is also
available via the embedded web server.
When properly configured, the gateway will become essentially “transparent” on
the networks, and the various network devices can engage in seamless dialogs
with each other.

ICC
5.1 Power Supply Electrical Interface
When the gateway is not plugged into a PC via the USB cable, it must be
powered by an external power source or via Power over Ethernet (PoE: refer to
section 5.2). When using an external power source connected to the gateway’s
power and ground terminals, ensure that the power supply adheres to the
following specifications:
Voltage rating ........................ 7 - 24VDC
Minimum Current rating.......... 150m A (@24VDC)
• ICC offers an optional 120VAC/12V DC power supply (ICC part number
10755) that can be used to power the gateway from a standard wall outlet.
• The power supply must be connected to the gateway’s terminal block at
terminals TB:5 (POWER) and TB:6 (GND) as highlighted in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Terminal Block P ow e r Supply Connections
5.2 Ethernet Port
The gateway supports an IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port.
The Ethernet port accepts standard CAT5-type 8-conductor unshielded twistedpair (UTP) patch cables. The single Ethernet port supports multiple simultaneous
protocols. The port is set for auto-negotiation to automatically select the network
speed and duplex.
14
ICC
5.3 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The gateway supports the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard as
a mode A or mode B powered device (PD). In mode A, the Ethernet jack pins 12 (pair #2 in T568B wiring) form one side of the DC supply and pins 3-6 (pair #3
in T568B) form the other side. These are the same two pairs used for data
transmission in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, allowing the provision of both power
and data over only two pairs in such networks.
In mode B, the Ethernet jack pins 4-5 (pair #1 in both T568A and T568B cabling
standards) form one side of the DC supply and pins 7-8 (pair #4 in both T568A
and T568B) provide the return; these are the "spare" pairs in 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX. Mode B power transmission, therefore, requires the use of a full
4-pair Ethernet cable.
The gateway enumerates itself as a power level class 0 device (12.95W max.
indicated consumption). T h e use of PoE endspan (“PoE switch”) or midspan
(“power injector”) power sourcing equipment (PSE) provides for the ability to
power the gateway without the necessity of connecting a dedicated power supply
to the power supply terminal block.
5.4 RS-485 Port Electrical Interface
In order to ensure appropriate network conditions (signal voltage levels, etc.)
when using the gateway’s RS-485 port, some knowledge of the network interface
circuitry is required. Refer to Figure 2 for a simplified network schematic of the
RS-485 interface circuitry. The port has 4 terminals for four-wire communication.
For two-wire communication, connect a jumper wire between TB:1 (A / RXD+)
and TB:3 (Y / TXD+) and a wire between TB:2 (B / RXD-) and TB:4 (Z / TXD-).

6. Installation
The gateway’s installation procedure will vary slightly depending on the mounting
method used. Before mounting the gateway, install the 4 black rubber feet
(Figure 4) onto the bottom of the enclosure.
Figure 4: R ubber Feet
6.1 Mounting the Gateway
The gateway may be mounted on a panel, a wall or a DIN rail. In all cases, the
gateway is mounted using the two keyhole-shaped screw holes on the bottom of
the enclosure. A DIN rail adapter with two pre-mounted screws is provided for
mounting the gateway on a DIN rail. The user must choose the appropriate
hardware for mounting the gateway on a panel or wall. When choosing screws
for panel or wall mounting, ensure the head size matches the keyhole screw
holes on the back of the enclosure. The following describes the method for the
two mounting options.
6.1.1 Panel / Wall Mounting
To mount the gateway on a panel or wall, drill two holes 25mm apart vertically.
Screw two screws into the holes and mount the gateway on the screws.
Figure 5: Pa nel / Wa ll Mounting Dia gram

ICC
6.1.2 DIN Rail Mounting
The DIN rail adapter (Figure 6) can clip onto 35mm and G-type rails. To mount
the gateway to a DIN rail, clip the DIN rail adapter onto the DIN rail and mount
the gateway on the screws (the screws should already be seated into the adapter
at the proper height). Refer to Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9.

6.2 Wiring Connections
Note that in order to power the unit, a power supply must also be installed. Refer
to sections 5.1 and 5.2 for more information.
1. Mount the unit via the desired method (refer to section 6.1).
2. Connect the various networks to their respective plugs/terminal blocks.
Ensure that any wires are fully seated into their respective terminal blocks,
and route the network cables such that they are located well away from any
electrical noise sources, such as adjustable-speed drive input power or
motor wiring. Also take care to route all cables away f rom any sharp edges
or positions where they may be pinched.
3. Take a moment to verify that the gateway and all network cables have
sufficient clearance from electrical noise sources such as drives, motors, or
power-carrying electrical wiring.
4. If not using PoE, connect an external power supply to the gateway’s RS-485
terminal block on the terminals labeled POWER and GND. Pay particular
attention to the proper polarity.
6.3 Grounding
Grounding is of particular importance for reliable, stable operation.
Communication system characteristics may vary from system to system,
depending on the system environment and grounding method used.
The gateway has one logic ground located on the RS-485 terminal block, which
serves as the ground reference for both power and RS-485 communication
signals.
CAUTION:
Note that there is a single chassis ground terminal adjacent to the RS-485
terminal block. This chassis ground terminal is NOT internally connected to the
“GND” terminal on the RS-485 terminal block. Do not make any logic grounding
connections to the chassis ground terminal.
Please be sure to consider the following general points for making proper ground
connections:
Grounding method c he c kpoints
1. Make all ground connections such that no ground current flows through the
case or heatsink of a connected electrical device.
2. Do not connect the gateway’s GND terminal to a power ground or any other
potential noise-producing ground connection (such as an adjustable-speed
drive’s “E” terminal).
3. Do not make connections to unstable grounds (paint-coated screw heads,
grounds that are subjected to inductive noise, etc.)

The gateway has two dichromatic, stacked LEDs to indicate the status of the
module (MS) and the status of the Ethernet/IP network server driver (NS). On
startup, the LEDs blink a startup sequence: green-red-green-red. Always confirm
this sequence upon powering the gateway to ensure the device is functioning
properly. Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for further details.

7.2 RS-485 Network Status
The gateway has one red and one green LED to indicate the status of the RS485 network.
Green (TX) LED ..... Lights when the gateway is transmitting data on the RS-485
port.
Red (RX) LED........ Lights when the gateway is receiving data on the RS-485
port. Note that this does not indicate the validity of the data
with respect to a particular protocol: only that data exists and
is being detected. Also note that if a 2-wire RS-485 network
is in use, that the gateway’s RX LED will light in conjunction
with the TX LED (as transmitting devices on 2-wire RS-485
networks also receive their own transmissions).
7.3 Ethernet Status
The Ethernet jack contains two embedded LEDs which indicate the status of the
Ethernet physical layer
Amber LED ............ Et herne t link: lit whenever a viable Ethernet network is
connected to the port. The LED must be lit for any Ethernet
communication to occur.
Green LED ............ Et he rnet Activity: blinks briefly when Ethernet packets are
sent or received. The LED may appear solid green if there is
a large amount of network traffic.

8. Configuration Concepts
8.1 ICC Configuration Studio
The gateway can be configured by a PC via a USB mini type-B cable. This
connection provides power to the device, so there is no need for any ext ernal
power supply while the gateway is attached to the PC.
The gateway is configured by the ICC Configuration Studio PC application, and
this section will provide only a brief introduction to the configuration concepts. For
more detailed information on how to install and use the Configuration Studio,
refer to the separately-available training resources.
Offline Device Configuration
A device can be added to the Project panel for offline configuration by first
selecting the Offline Dev ic e s list heading and then:
• Double-c lic king on it in the Availa ble De vices panel.
• Right-clicking on it in the Available Devices panel a nd c hoos ing Add from
the context-sensitive menu.
• Hi tting the <ENTER> key on the keyboard when the device is selected in the
Available Devices panel.
• Dragging it from the Available Devic e s panel into the Project panel.
The device will then be added to the list of Offline Devic es. A valid offline
configuration can be downloaded to a compatible online device at any time.
Online Device Configurati on
All connected devices are automatically loaded and added to the list of Online
Devices. When a device is disconnected, its configuration is moved to the list o f
Offline Devices.
Removing an Offline Device from a Project
An offline device can be removed from a project by:
• Selecting the device in the Project panel and dragging it. A trash can icon
will appear at the bottom of the Project panel, and dragging the device to
the trash will then delete it from the project.
• Hit t ing t he <DELETE> key on the keyboard when the device is selected in
the Project panel.
• Right-clicking on the device in the Project panel and choos in g Remove from
