Connecting a communication cable

Connection and Configuration

 Usable cable

Wiring

The DL-EP1 uses the power supplied to sensor amplifiers, so there is no power cable wiring. This section describes the wiring of communication cables used by the DLEP1.

Use the following procedures to connect the DL-EP1 to the communication cable required for EtherNet/IP communication.

Usable cables depend on whether the system is configured with 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.

Structuring a 10BASE-T system

When the system is configured with 10BASE-T, use a Category 3 or higher shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable or an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.

Structuring a 100BASE-TX network

When the system (network) is configured with 100BASE-TX, use a Category 5 or higher STP or UTP cable. Do not use a Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.

2-8

• Use a STP/UTP straight cable when connecting the DL-EP1 to an Ethernet switch.

• Use a STP/UTP cross cable when directly connecting the DL-EP1 to a PC.

• Do not use the STP/UTP cross cable incorrectly because it is difficult to distinguish this cable from the STP/UTP straight cable in appearance.

• When the system (Ethernet) is configured with a type (e.g., 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-5) other than 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, use an Ethernet switch with an AUI (MAU) connector or a BNC connector or use a media converter (10BASE5 → 10BASE-T or 10BASE2 → 10BASE-T).

 DL-EP1 connector port

The DL-EP1 connector port accepts an RJ-45 8-pole modular connector (ISO8877 compliant) used with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX and complies with the IEEE802.3 Standards.

Precautions for connecting a STP/UTP cable to the DL-EP1 connector port

Take care not to apply a load to the DL-EP1 connector port when connecting the STP/UTP cable to the DL-EP1.

The cable may be bent and used when installed. Bending the cable at a sharp angle may cut the wires in the cable or the cable may be disconnected during use. Install or lay the cable to be used with attention to the recommended bending radius R of the cable.

 Connecting the DL-EP1 to EtherNet/IP

The following describes how to connect the DL-EP1 to the RJ-45 connector.

Turn off the power supply.

Connect one modular jack of the STP/UTP cable to the 10BASE-T/

100BASE port of the Ethernet switch to be used.

Insert the modular jack until a "click" is heard. The modular jack and connector will lock.

Connection and Configuration

・ Keep the length of the STP/UTP cable to be used 100 m or less. ・ Carefully check the state of connector (port) on the Ethernet

switch before connecting the DL-EP1. There are various Ethernet switches. Some Ethernet switches have a different shape connector (AUI connector or BNC connector, etc.) from the RJ-45, while some have connectors used to connect Ethernet switches together (cascade ports).

Connect the modular jack on the other end of the STP/UTP cable to the

DL-EP1 connector port.

Insert the jack until a "click" is heard. The modular jack and connector will lock.

What is BOOTP?

BOOTP is the abbreviation of BOOT strap Protocol. This protocol is used by the client device in the TCP/IP network to make the network settings assigned from the server. If there is a BOOTP server in the same network as the device running as the BOOTP client, an IP address is assigned to the device connected as the BOOTP client.

Reference

This section describes scanner side configuration for connecting the DL-EP1 to the EtherNet/IP system.

When communicating with an Allen-Bradley scanner, also refer to the "Procedures for Communicating with an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC" (Page 5-6).

Configuring Communication with the Scanner

Setting the scanner

Connecting the DL-EP1 to the EtherNet/IP scanner requires the following settings:

 Setting the IP address

Set the IP address of the scanner.

 Registering the device profile of the DL-EP1

Register the device profile of the adaptor (DL-EP1) to be connected using the scanner's setting software. You can register the device profile manually or by reading the EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) file. You can download the EDS file of the DL-EP1 from the Keyence web site (http://www.keyence.com).

 Configuring communication with the DL-EP1

The DL-EP1 uses EtherNet/IP cyclic communication or message communication to communicate with the scanner.

z Cyclic communication (Implicit messaging)

This function sends and receives data at a set RPI (Requested Packet Interval). Selecting the communication method called "connection" and assigning the devices to be sent and received on the scanner side enables the DL-EP1 to communicate with the scanner without creating a ladder program.

z Message communication (Explicit messaging)

This function is used to send and receive data which does not need to be timed. Use this function when changing the sensor amplifier settings or when performing EtherNet/IP communication with the scanner (e.g., Allen-Bradley SLC5/05 Series) that does not support cyclic communication. This function uses a ladder program to create a message on the scanner side for communication.

Connection and Configuration

For more information on setting each communication method, refer to the chapters

titling "Communicating with...." of each sensor amplifier as well as the manuals

enclosed with each scanner.

This manual explains only the EtherNet/IP scanner functions and settings required for communication with the DL-EP1. For details on the functions and settings between the EtherNet/IP scanner and CPU unit, refer to the manuals enclosed with the scanner and CPU unit.

What is EtherNet/IP?

EtherNet/IP is an industrial communication network with open specifications. The specifications are managed by ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association, Inc.). Industrial protocol has been combined with the Ethernet and standardized as EtherNet/IP (Industrial Protocol). Communication is realized by combining the protocols known as Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) with TCP/IP and Ethernet. This allows regular Ethernet to be used together with the network.

Communicating with the GT2 Series

Before starting EtherNet/IP communication, one of the devices must open a communication line called a "connection" with the other device. The side which opens the connection is called the "scanner", and the side to be opened is called the "adaptor". (The DL-EP1 is an adaptor.)

EtherNet/IP includes cyclic communication (Implicit messaging) which sends and receives data periodically. Message communication (Explicit messaging) which sends and receives commands and responses at a time specified by the user. Cyclic communication enables you to set RPI (Requested Packet Interval) according to the priority of the data to be exchanged, allowing the entire communication load to be adjusted for data exchange. Message communication enables you to exchange the required commands and responses at the required timing. Message communication is used for applications which do not require the punctuality of cyclic communication, such as reading and writing adaptor settings.

Communicating with the GT2 Series

Configurations such as RPI and data size for cyclic communication are set on the scanner side. In a network which has many connected devices, including EtherNet/IP devices, a delay or packet loss could occur if a large load is constantly or temporarily applied on the network. Verify the settings carefully before operation.

 Message communication

Message communication can be used for applications which do not require a punctuality like cyclic communication. In message communication, various parameters, including data which can be exchanged with cyclic communication, can be read and written. Functions specific to sensors such as the sensor amplifier preset function can also be executed.

Cyclic communication

This section describes the cyclic communication functions and how to use them.

 What is cyclic communication?

Cyclic communication is a function that exchanges data with the EtherNet/IP device in a cyclic manner (at a set cycle). In cyclic communication, data can be exchanged when one device successfully opens a logical communication line called a "connection" with the other device. The side which opens the connection is called the scanner, and the side to be opened is called the adaptor. (The DL-EP1 is an adaptor.)

Cyclic communication is started in the following procedures:

(1) The scanner requests the adaptor to open the connection. (2) The adapter side checks compatibility. (3) If no error occurs as a result the compatibility check, the adapter opens the

connection. (* If an error is found during the compatibility check, the adapter does not open the connection.)

"Checking the Device Compatibility" (Page 3-20)

Data is exchanged between the EtherNet/IP scanner, DL-EP1 and each sensor amplifier as follows:

Communicating with the GT2 Series

To carry out EtherNet/IP communication with a scanner which does not support cyclic communication (Allen-Bradley SLC5/05 Series, etc.), use

"Message Communication" (Page 3-21).

・ Each connection's trigger timing is executed cyclically. The connection

type supports both point-to-point and multicast.

・ The details of each application type are as follows:

Exclusive Owner:

This connection allows simultaneous setting of both data transmission from the scanner to the DL-EP1 and data transmission from the DL-EP1 to the scanner. This setting is made not only when the scanner monitors the adaptor (DL-EP1) data, but also when it issues external inputs and rewrites the settings, etc. Multiple "Exclusive Owner" connections cannot be opened to one adaptor (DL-EP1).

Input Only:

This connection allows only data transmission from the DL-EP1 to the scanner. This setting is made when the scanner only monitors adaptor (DL-EP1) data. Multiple scanners can open an "Input Only" connection simultaneously to one adaptor (DLEP1). (* To simultaneously open connections from multiple scanners, set the Connection Type to Multicast.

This example shows how to read the comparator values from the sensor amplifiers ID01, ID02, and ID03. (1)When the comparator value of a sensor amplifier is updated, the new comparator

value is entered into the IN area via cyclic communication. If the comparator value is correct, the parameter range is -199.9999 to 199.9999. If the current value is over range, under range, or invalid, the previous value is retained without updating the current value. Use the value with the comparator value property.

(2)The properties of the comparator value (Current Value n Over Range (each bit of

IN area [6]), Current Value n Under Range (each bit of IN area [8]), and Current Value n Invalid (each bit of IN area [10]) are entered. If the comparator value of a sensor amplifier is "over", "under," or "invalid," the bit corresponding to the ID number of that sensor amplifier is set to 1. *For the GT2 Series, the comparator value is stored in the current value 0.

 What is Message communication (Explicit messaging)?

Message communication is a function that performs communication by issuing commands using the objects and services (Service Codes) prepared for each EtherNet/IP device. Message communication is used for applications which do not require the punctuality of cyclic communication, such as reading and writing adaptor settings. The objects and service codes which can be used with message communication include those which are specified as a standard and those which are unique to the device. You can use the objects and services unique to the DL-EP1to monitor data, to read and write parameters, and to perform operations such as reset.

express a device. The device is handled as a group of objects. Objects abstractly express the configuration elements in the device. A class is a group of objects expressing the configuration elements of the same type. An instance actually expresses a specific object contained in a class. Each instance in the class has the same attribute group, but each uses a unique attribute value.

The DL-EP1 then returns the service execution results as a response. A command requires a service, class ID (Class ID), instance ID (Instance

ID), and attribute ID (Attribute ID)

. When a parameter is written, the

command also requires a setting (service data).

*6 If the sensor amplifier detection mode is other than peak-to-peak mode, a read

error occurs. Using this for discriminating the outer diameter of a cylinder makes it possible to read the peak and bottom values during the measurement period.

*7 If the calculation function is not used, a read error occurs. If this value is other

than standard difference display, a read error occurs in the expansion unit. If this value is standard difference display, a read error occurs in the main unit.

*8 If the key lock function is being used in the main unit when simultaneous input

is set, a write error occurs in the expansion unit. If GT2-100* is being used, a

write error occurs in other than ID01 (main unit). *9 If the key lock function is being used, a write error occurs. *10 If self-timing is selected, a write error occurs. If simultaneous input is set, a

write error occurs in the main unit. If a connection is established with the

Assembly instance 65H(101) during cyclic communication, a write error

occurs. *11 If the GT2-100* is being used, a write error occurs in other than ID01 (main

unit). *12 Read and write are enabled only for the main unit (ID01) *13 The main unit for which peak-to-peak mode, NG hold mode, or calculation-only

mode is set operates according to the external timing without reference to the

timing type setting. *14 If an unselectable setting is set, a write error occurs. Unselectable settings are

saved in EEPROM but not reflected in operation. *15 Available only for GT2-100 series. Not available for GT2-70 series.

This parameter can be read/written only when GT2-100* is used as a main unit

(ID:01) and cannot be read/written to units other than the main unit (ID:01).

For details on batch setting, refer to the GT2-100 series User's Manual. *16 If other than the GT2-71* is used, a read error occurs during reading and a

write error occurs during writing. *17 If the calculation function is not used, a read error occurs.

If a standard difference display is set for the main unit, a read error occurs. If a

standard difference display is set for the expansion unit, a read error occurs in

parameters for units other than the main unit (ID01) and the local unit. If other

than the standard difference display is set for the expansion unit, a read error

occurs.

If detection mode is peak-to-peak mode, a read error occurs. *18 If the calculation mode and calculation setting that cannot be set within the

current number of connected sensor amplifiers are written, a write error

occurs.

If the calculation function is used, the sensor amplifiers can hold only the calculated P.V. values. Reading this attribute ID makes it possible to read the R.V. values of each sensor amplifier on which the held calculation results were based. Therefore, the R.V. values of each sensor amplifiers on which the held calculation results were based can be read without being affected by communication response delay.

Reference

To carry out cyclic communication with multiple PLCs using the InputOnly connection, the DL-EP1 input data must be sent as a Multicast packet. With ControlLogix, the DL-EP1 transmission is fixed to Multicast packet. However, caution is required when using devices, such as KV or SYSMAC, for which the connection method can be selected from Multicast or Point to Point.

Procedures for Communication with an Allen-Bradley SLC5/05 PLC

The DL-EP1 is capable of the following communication when connected to an AllenBradley SLC5/05 PLC.

• Message communication function: Class3

The size of attribute ID used for SLC5/05 Series is 1 byte or smaller. The SLC5/05 Series does not support the parameter which contains 2 byte attribute ID.

• The SLC5/05 Series does not support the cyclic communication function, but by accessing the DL-EP1's Assembly Object with messages, control can be executed with the same data type and procedures as cyclic communication.

• Up to 248 bytes can be exchanged with the SLC5/05 series message communication.

Appendix

• Do not exceed this size when exchanging data with message

communication.

• The Assembly Object data size is the same as the cyclic

communication data size set in the DL-EP1 properties. When using the SLC5/05, confirm that this value is 248 bytes.
