Safety Instructions for design process

 Please install a protection circuit on the exterior of PLC so that the whole system may

operate safely regardless of failures from external power or PLC. Any abnormal output or
operation from PLC may cause ser ious proble ms to safety in whole sy stem.

- Install protection units on the exterior of PLC like an interlock circuit that deals with opposite
operations such as emer g ency s top, pr otection circuit, and forward/rever s e rot ati on or install an
interlock circuit that deals wi th high/low limit under its position co ntrols.

- If any system error (watch-dog timer error, module installation error, etc.) is detected during
CPU operation in PLC, all output signals are designed to be turned off and stopped for safety.
However, there are cases when out put signals remai n active due t o device fail ures in Relay and
TR which can’t be det ected. Thus , y ou are recommended to install an addi tion ci rcui t to monitor
the output status for those cri tical outputs which may cause significant problems.

 Never overload more than rate d current of output modul e nor allow to have a short circuit.

Over current for a long period time m aycause a fire .

 Never let the external power of the output circuit to be on earlier t han PLC power, which may

cause accid ents from abnormal outp ut oroperation.

 Please install interlock circuits in the sequence program for safe operations in the system

when exchange data with PLC or modify operation modes using a computer or other
external equipments

Read specific instructions thoroughly when conducting control operations

with PLC.

The maximum segment distance of 100BASE-TX reaches 100m. (The distance between modules)
Straight cables and cross cables are used.
If a cross cable is used when connected between these communication modules, the time for connecting links can be
shortened.

This module doesn’t support a ring system.
When configuring a ring form, IP address switch of a module – front view must be set up at ’99.’
Then, a ring system is formed in external aspect, but the service for a ring system will not be supported.
If IP address switch is not set up at 99’after formed in a ring , data burst may happen and modules can not execu te

(1) For reliable transmission of 100Mbps signal using UTP cables, Patch Cord, Line Cord, Patch Panel, DVO(Data

Voice Outlet), etc must meet 5 spec (Category 5 Spec.- EIA/TIA-568A).

(2) Make sure the length of patch c ode will be over 7m in cross-connect, If the length exce eds 7m, the length

corresponding to 90m, as much as the allowable value in Horizont al Distri bution Sy stem, must be deducted.

(3) Make sure the length of line cord does not exceed 3m in line cord length. If the length exceeds 3m, as much as

the length corresponding to 90m, the allowable value in Horizontal Distribution System, must be deducted.

(4) Make sure the loose of paired pitch of U IP cable in cas e of disco nnection to patc h panel and D VD does not

exceed the following dimension.
(5) Maximum Paired Pitch – Loose : Category 5 : 13mm, Category 3 : 26mm
(6) Use jumper wires in DC cross-connect system. Then, also the loose of paired pitch must not exceed the above

standards. Es peci a ll y, in case of serio usl y b e nd in g c a bles , pay attention so t ha t d am ag e or s e parati on b etween

pairs does not happen.
(7) Maximum Curvature Diameter : 4 Pair Cable : 4 times the Diameter

Cable more than 25 Pair: 10 times the Diameter
(8) Make sure the maximum tensile force while using does not exceed 110N (11.3Kgf) based on 4 Pair
(9) Make sure jumper cabl es and patch cod es are loos ely disco nnected. W hen tig htly connect ed, the f eatures of

category 5 may low er. When using Tie-wrap, make sure cables are not stressed.

(10) Make sure proper distance is maintained between EMI source and UTP cable when installing cables.

The proper distance in each case is as follows.

3.6.1 Directions when Configuring Systems

1) To use P2P service including this module, make sure IP Addresses of all stations are different from IP addresses of

all other stations.

2) To use comm unication cables, select the on es in designated si zes. Using cables that have not been designate d

may cause serious communication obstacles.

3) Check out whether cables are disconnected or short-circuited before installing communication cables.

4) Completely tighten the connectors of communication cables so that cable connections can be fixed.

5) Incomplete cable connections may cause serious obstacles to communication.

6) In case of connecting comm unication c ables to a long distanc e, make sur e cables ar e not separated f rom po wer

lines or inductive noises.

7) Coaxial cables are low in f lex ib i li t y, so they must be re-branched lo wering down at least more than 30 cm f rom t he

connector in communication module, and if cables are bent on the square and forcibly transformed, it may cause the
destruction of the connector located in the communication module.

8) In case LED does not normally operate, refer to ‘Chapter 10 Troubleshooting’ and check out causes. If something

is wrong ev en if actions have been taken, contact Warranty Service Center.

6.1 EtherNet/IP Communication Method

The communica nt methods of EtherNet/IP are div ided into Implicit Communica tion Method and Explicit Comm unication
Method and each method is again divided into client and server function. In XGB EtherNet/IP IF module, Implicit
communication m ethod is prov ided by period ic client /period ic server and explicit commu nication metho d is provided b y
aperiodic client/aperiodic server.
The periodic client/server is similar to th e h ig h s pee d link of the existing XGT communication ser vic e, which is the service
used when data is tr ans mitted and recei ve d p er iodically. The aperiodic client/s er v er m eth od is t he communication m eth od
used when particul ar e vents ha pp en . I n XGB EtherNet/IP I/F module these two services ar e inc orporated into EIP ser vice
and provided.

6.1.1 EtherNet/IP Terms

1) Implicit Messaging: Suggestive message, the m essage where t he header information oth er than data has been

implicate d to the min imum (In XGB EtherN et/IP I/F module the m essage is provid ed via client /per iodic server
communication)

2) Explicit Messaging: Clear message, including all information that can translate frames besides data

(In XGB EtherNet/IP I/F module the message is provided via aperiodic client communication)

3) Client: The subject requiring information

4) Server: The subject that provides information at request

5) Producer: The entity that create producers, information

6) Consumer: The entity that receives consumer information and consumes it

7) Tag: Nameplate , Named Variable

8) EDS File: The abbre viation for Electric Data S heets. The file where the inf ormation on the device and on the

communication set –up is recorded

9) RPI: The abbreviation for Requested Packet Interval, meaning the period when Packet will be sent

(In XGB EtherNet/IP I/F module, pac ket is provided at transmission period)

6.1.2 EDS File

Electrical Description Script (EDS) File is a description on devices and it includes the information about a product type
and connect ion, as well as Vendor ID. In Et herN et/I P I/F module it is the b asic pr incip le t o s et up us ing EDS Fi le. To
install EDS Fie, EDS register menu of XG5000 should be set up.

Chapter 6 EIP Service

6-2

6.1.3 Periodic Communication (Implicit) System

Implicit Message provided in periodic communication in XGB EtherNet/IP I/F module means a suggestive and implied
message. As this m essage c ontai ns head er i nform ation to t he m inimum exc ept for t he data in f rame, it als o refer s to
the message which is im poss ible t o see what da ta means. In addit ion, if we trans la te it in differe nt way, this message
means that header information is small in quantity, so the process of translating the frame has been simplified and it is
possible to process data quickly. In EtherNet/IP, connection between client and server is set up with the parameter for
sending this da ta.
Client requires connect ion and it bec om es the object t ha t recei ves an d cons um es data, and s ev er com es to tr ansm it
the said data in tra nsmission period ( Re qu es t ed P acket Interval: RPI) and communication method (Unicast/Multicast)
like the way client wants Thus, client comes to set u p consumed tag and server w ill set up produced tag (XGT
EtherNet/IP IF: Input Only Type).

[Figure 6.1] Client and Server in XGT EtherNet/IP I/F - Module Periodic Communication

Notice

Implicit Server is created also in Implicit Client. Server can set up timeout in the period that client grants according to types.
Using data that client provides, it is possible to output to his own module .

6.1.4 Aperiodic Communication (Explicit) System

Explicit Messa ge provided in aperiod ic communication from XGB EtherNe t/IP I/F module means clear a nd explicit
message. This mess ag e a ls o m eans t h at all inf ormation which is poss i bl e to tr ans lat e da ta to dat e frame. Thus, even
though it takes some time to translate frame, if the message we want is sent without the process of setting parameter,
frame is translated from server and the response is made.
In general it is utilized as monitoring data to aperiodic data rather than control data.

6.2 EIP Service

EtherNet/IP is divided into a periodic message service (Implicit Service), and an aperiodic message service (Explicit
Service). In XBL-EIPT module these t wo services are incorporat ed to be prov ided as period ic/client server and a periodic
client.
In Periodic Client / Server Service, the tag for communication must be set up in parameter system. Thus, client and server
tag m ust be s hared with information for comm unication when parameter is ex changed. In XG B EhterNet/I P I/F module,
client and server must be set up with XG5000. Make sure client is set up in periodic client and sever is set up with periodic
server. For the detail contents, see CH 6.3.
Aperiodic client service must be communicated after you put the tag to be communicated and communication set-up. Thus,
when required from clie nt, server r eceives al information in fram e and trans lates, and r esponds. In other words , it is t he
service without setting up from server side.

In this part, EIP types and use methods provided to a user are described.
The flowing refers to the order for making up the program using EIP.

[Figure 7.4.1] Ethernet/IP network

A network is suppose d where RS-232C cable is c onnected bet ween PC in which XG5000 is installed and PLC #1
station, and PLC #1, PLC #2 and PLC #n are connected with each other via Ethernet in XG5000 of [Figure 7.4.1]. To
access the contents of PLC #1 station in the figure above, Local connection is needed in XG5000’s on-line menu. After
finishing acc essing the c ontents of PLC #1, disconnect the Local co nnection with ‘Disconnect’ menu. To access the
PLC #n station, select PLC #n by setting the IP address of PLC #n and Base and Slot No. where XBL-EIPT module is
installed in th e PLC #1 station i n the remote co nnection dialog box an d connect. The n logical connection bet ween
XG5000 and PLC #n will be established via RS-232C and Ethernet. This status is identical to the status that RS-232C
cable is connected bet ween PC and PLC #n station and it is availabl e to execute all functions of programming,
downloading, debugging and monitoring as in PLC #1.

Also, if Ether net/IP module (LAN Card) is insta lled on PC wher e XG5000 is instal led and connected to th e identic al
network to PLC, remote stage 1 connection with PLC is available via Ethernet without local connection via RS-232C.

With the rem ote connect ion service of XG5000, easy access to PLC is possible even if t he PLC is located at a far
place. And re-programming without repositioning the PLC is possible when PLC is located at a place hard to reach.
