The following diagrams detail the jumper positions for each of the ports:

ProLinx 5000/6000 Series Module

1.4 Install the Antenna

All antennas for radios communicating directly with each other should be mounted so they are within line-of-sight and have the same antenna polarity.

Antennas with a reverse polarity SMA connector can be mounted directly on the radio. Screw the antenna onto the antenna port connector until snug.

Antennas that do not have a reverse polarity SMA connector must be mounted separately and connected to the radio using a ProSoft RadioLinx adaptor cable. Because the antenna cable attenuates the RF signal, use an antenna cable no longer than necessary to ensure optimum performance.

Note: It is illegal to use any antenna that is not on the ProSoft Technology approved antennas list.

2.5.1 [Radio Configuration]

The Radio Configuration section contains basic configuration parameters for the radio. The following settings configure the radio.

Signal LED 1, 2, 3, 4

SIGNAL LED 1: 20 SIGNAL LED 2: 25 SIGNAL LED 3: 30 SIGNAL LED 4: 35 The Signal LEDs on the front of the module indicate the current quality (signal

strength minus noise) of the radio signal. The parameter for each LED determines the signal strength level at which the LED will illuminate.

After the module powers up, all signal LEDs will be off. When the module establishes a connection to another module, the signal LEDs will display the strength of the radio signal.

If the radio communication is dropped when in ad-hoc mode (for example, if the other radio is turned off), the signal strength LEDs will flash periodically at a rate of approximately 10 seconds on and one second off.

Transmit Rate

This parameter defines the data rate(s) for transmission of directed messages. Possible values are outlined in the following table.

Value Definition

1 Fixed 1 Mbit (1) 2 Fixed 2 Mbit (2)

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 23 of 190 February 2, 2009

6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configure the Module Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

Value Definition

3 Auto fallback high (11, 5.5, 2, 1) 4 Fixed medium rate (5.5) 5 Fixed high rate (11) 6 Auto fallback standard (2, 1) 7 Auto fallback medium (5.5, 2, 1)

Important: For Multicast mode, use transmit rates of 1 or 2 Mbps for best results.

RTS Threshold

60 to 2347 RTS/CTS handshake threshold byte count. Less than 60 will interfere with control

packets.

WEP Key Rollover

Yes or No WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) is an encryption method that allows devices

on a wireless network to transmit data securely. This parameter interacts with the WATTCP parameter "Enable Encryption", and

the values for WEP Keys 1 through 4. When the WEP Key Rollover parameter is enabled, the module will randomly change the WEP key.

2.5.2 [Radio SNTP Client]

The [Radio SNTP Client] section specifies the parameters for the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client provided with the protocol driver. This client is required in order to keep the driver's internal clock set correctly. This version of the driver supports the unicast implementation of the SNTP Revision 3 and stratum between 1 and 14.

The module can be configured to periodically synchronize its clock with a remote SNTP server. Approximately every 6 minutes the module sends 10 consecutive requests to the remote SNTP client (at approximately 6 second intervals). You can check these requests and responses by looking at the SNTP Client Configuration Menu (press the N key at the Configuration/Debug Main Menu). If the module receives a valid response from the SNTP server, the computations value will be also be incremented. After 10 consecutive successful requests and responses, the module will synchronize its internal clock (an average is performed based on all 10 responses for better accuracy). The Time Set Cnt value is incremented every time the clock is synchronized.

After the synchronization is performed, the time valid register is set to Yes. If the module cannot connect to the remote SNTP server after 3 consecutive attempts, the time valid register is set to No. You can also configure the GMT settings to use, and the database address where the date and time information can be copied.

Configure the Module 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

The following parameters set up the SNTP client:

[RADIO SNTP CLIENT] NTP SERVER IP ADDRESS : 0.0.0.0 # IP address for NIST, Boulder, Colorado TIME ZONE : 8 # Number of hours from GMT (-11 to +11) USE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME : No # Yes or No DATABASE REGISTER : 3000 # database word location where to store # time (-1=ignore).

The database register parameter defines a database register where the SNTP time and date values are copied. It occupies 4 words as follows:

Word Offset Description

0 and 1 Date and time in Unix format (long integer) 2 and 3 Microseconds (long integer)

SNTP setup

This section describes how to set up the SNTP time sync with an Ethernet connection.

As long as a valid IP address is present, the SNTP feature is always enabled, but to function properly it must be configured correctly. The following drawing gives more detail:

Note: Radiolinx or any access point (peer to peer) will not time sync.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 25 of 190 February 2, 2009

6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configure the Module Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

Press [Z] to show the NTP menu. Your configuration data should look similar to the following if it was configured

correctly:

NTP Server IP Address

Enter in dotted notation This parameter sets the IP address of the NTP server to contact for time

acquisition. Select an NTP server with the greatest accuracy that is available all the time from your network. Set this IP address to 0.0.0.0 to disable SNTP server requests.

Time Zone

-11 to 11 This parameter sets the time zone offset from UTC. Positive values are for time

zones west of UTC, and negative values are for time zones east of UTC. Set this value to 0 to use UTC in the module.

Use Daylight Savings Time

Yes or No This parameter specifies if daylight savings time will be used in the time

computation.

Database Register

-1 or 0 to 3992 as an even value This parameter specifies if the NTP time computed by the driver is to be placed

into the module's database. If a value of -1 is specified, the time will not be placed into the database. If the value is between 0 and 3992, the time will be placed in the database. The first 4 bytes represent the seconds since 1/1/1970, and the second 4 bytes represent the number of microseconds. An even value should be used for the register value in order for the data to be stored correctly.

2.5.3 [RADIO PWP Exchanges]

In order to interface the module with PWP devices, you must construct an exchange list. The exchanges specify messages that will be produced or consumed at a user-defined frequency using the module's internal database. Messages can be broadcast to all nodes on the network, sent to a multicast group on the network or associated with a single node on the network. Up to 100 exchanges can be defined for the driver. Up to 680 word registers can be produced or consumed in a single exchange.

The [RADIO PWP Exchanges] section defines the messages that will be produced and consumed by the driver. The UDP protocol on the IP network is used to transport these over Ethernet between all the PWP devices.

For the exchanges to operate correctly, the other PWP devices must be configured and correctly set up. The primary reason for user problems with the module is failure to provide devices that are correctly configured. Before trying to connect the module to the network, the remote device must be able to communicate with ProSoft Configuration Builder. You must understand and document all parameters.

Exch Type

Producer: exchange will be producing data to other stations Consumer: exchange will be consuming data from another station

The Exchange Type field defines the type of exchange used in the exchange as either producer or consumer. Producer exchanges (P) are generated by the driver using the module's database. Consumer exchanges (C) are those received from other DFNT devices with the data in the message being placed in the module's database.

Cast Type

When the Exchange Type is Producer, the cast type field determines if the exchange is a unicast ('U' = point-to-point) exchange, multicast ('M'=multicast group) or a broadcast ('B' = all nodes) exchange.

 Producer Unicast - produce message to another station  Producer Multicast - produce message to a group of stations. In order to use

this option you need to configure the same Multicast IP address used in the exchange also at the [RADIO PWP MULTICAST GROUP LIST] section.

Important: For Multicast mode, use transmit rates (page 23) of 1 or 2 for best results.

 Producer Broadcast - produce message to all stations (set exchange IP

address to 255.255.255.255)

When the Exchange Type is Consumer, the cast type field determines how the local database area associated to this exchange will be updated in case an RF Error (timeout) occurs.

 Consumer No DB Change on RF Error  Consumer Set DB to -1 On RF Error

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 27 of 190 February 2, 2009

 Consumer Set DB to 0 On RF Error  Consumer Set DB to 1 On RF Error

DB Reg

The DB Register field defines the starting database register in the module where data sourced (produced data) or placed (consumed data) is determined by the value entered in the DB Reg column. This parameter can have a value of 0 to

3999. The validity of the entry is dependent on the number of registers (Reg Count) to be produced or consumed. The sum of the two values cannot exceed 4000, as this would be outside the range of the module's database.

Reg Count

Number of database registers to transfer/accept in message.

Swap Code

0, 1, 2 or 3 The Swap Code field sets byte and word swapping of data produced or

consumed. Swapping of words and/or bytes in the message may be required for different protocol and operating systems as their representation of multi-byte values may not be the same as that of the DFNT protocol.

Swap Code Description

0 None - No Change is made in the byte ordering (1234 = 1234) 1 Words - The words are swapped (1234=3412) 2

3 Bytes - The bytes in each word are swapped (1234=2143)

Words & Bytes - The words are swapped then the bytes in each word are swapped (1234=4321)

P/C Time

The P/C Time field defines the number of milliseconds between productions of the exchange data and for consumed exchanges. This value defines the number of milliseconds to wait for a produced exchanged before a timeout condition is present.

 For a producer exchange it defines the number of milliseconds between

consecutive producer exchanges.

 For a consumer exchange it defines the number of milliseconds to wait for a

produced message before a timeout error is set. It is suggested to use a value at least four times greater than the value used in the producer exchange.

For consumed messages, set this value to approximately 4 times the produced time of the exchange on the other device. This will prevent the exchange from constantly timing out on a busy network. If this parameter is set to zero, the message will not be produced.

Configure the Module 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

A zero value for a consumed message indicates that the exchange will never timeout. The zero value can be used for exchanges that will interface with the command service port (7937) to handle data read and write requests from another device.

IP Address

The IP Address field should be set to the IP address of destination device (produced data) or source device (consumed data).

Producer Exchange IP address: If the cast type is set to 'U' for a produced exchange, the address should be set to IP address of the specific node to receive (consume) the data. If the cast type is set to 'B' for produced data, set the IP to either a network (255.255.255.255) or subnet (192.168.0.255) broadcast address. If the cast type is set to 'M' for produced data, set the IP address to a valid multicast address.

Multicast Address Assignments Important: Use Multicast whenever the module produces data to at least two other modules. Using

Unicast for these applications can cause data transmission delay when at least one of the consumer modules is powered down.

Multicast group addresses 224.0.7.1 to 224.0.7.32 are reserved. The module does not place this limit for messages but the user should consider using the reserved group addresses. The following table shows the relationship between multicast group parameters and IP addresses. Refer to Underlying Protocol Requirements and Constraints for more detailed information on IP and UDP addresses.

Parameter IP Address

Group 1 224.0.7.1 Group 2 224.0.7.2 … … Group 32 224.0.7.32

Important: For Multicast mode, use transmit rates (page 23) of 1 or 2 for best results.

Consumer Exchange IP address: For consumed messages both Broadcast and Multicast type messages should be set to the IP address of the producer generating the specific exchange. The combination of the IP address and the exchange ID uniquely identify the exchange to the system.

Exch ID

1 to 16383 The Exch ID field defines the Exchange ID for this message, and must be unique

for each node. For produced exchanges, the module IP address and the entered exchange ID uniquely define the exchange to the network. Defined consumer exchanges use the IP address in the message along with this exchange ID to determine which exchange to associate with the message. The parameters defined in the exchange then determine how much data is present in the message and where to place it into the module's internal database.

CS Major, CS Minor

This is an optional functionality that can be used to prevent unexpected results when changes are performed to existing producer and consumer exchanges.

The Configuration Signature consists of two one-byte integer value (CS Major and CS Minor). The CS Major must be equal for both Producer and Consumer exchanges. The CS Minor reflects backward compatible modifications made to an exchange (for example: adding registers to the producer exchange count). Truncating data within an exchange is not backward compatible and requires a change in the major number.

The purpose of the Configuration Signature (CS) is to guarantee that the produced exchange will contain data in a format expected by a consumer module. Therefore it prevents the consumer module to process received data if it is not compatible because of later modifications.

Whenever a consumer module receives an exchange message, it will look for a configured consumer exchange that contains the same Exchange ID. If it finds a matching consumer exchange it will compare the Configuration Signature for validation.

If the exchange is not validated then the data will not be consumed. Because this functionality is optional, the modules will exchange data even if the

Configuration Signature validation is disabled. To disable this functionality, configure all exchanges with both CS Major and CS Minor values equal to zero.

The following rules are used by the consumer module to validate an exchange based on its Configuration Signature:

Rules for CS Validation

An exchange will be considered valid if at least one of the following conditions is true:

 Producer CS Major and CS Minor are both equal to 0  Consumer CS Major and CS Minor are both equal to 0  Producer CS Major is equal than Consumer CS Major AND Producer CS

Minor is greater or equal than Consumer CS Minor

The following table contains some examples that will help you to understand the consumer criteria to validate received exchanges based on the Configuration Signature:

Producer CS Major

0 0 0 0 Yes Same CS value of 0.0 (Major.Minor) validates the

0 0 1 2 Yes Producer CS value of 0.0 (Major.Minor) validates

1 2 0 0 Yes Consumer CS value of 0.0 (Major.Minor) validates

1 2 1 2 Yes Same CS value (1.2) validates the exchange

Radio PWP Exchange Command List Example

The following is an example section from the [PWP Exchanges] section:

2.5.4 [Radio PWP Multicast Group List]

This section contains the list of multicast group addresses the PWP server should process (consumer messages for this server produced on other units). This list may contain up to 16 IP addresses. The reserved group addresses for the PWP protocol are 224.0.7.1 to 224.0.7.32. The module will support other group addresses than this data set.

Important: Use Multicast whenever the module produces data to at least two other modules. Using

Unicast for these applications can cause data transmission delay when at least one of the consumer modules is powered down.

2.5.5 [Radio DFNT Server]

DFNT Server File Size

100 or 1000 Sets the maximum file size (100 or 1000) for the servers

2.5.6 [Radio DF1 Pass-Through Server]

Note: This section of the configuration file is applicable to third party port re-routing software that

can RSLinx a serial port driver to an IP address port. When such software is not neccesary, this section is ignored by the module.

Enabled

Yes or No This parameter determines if the server will be utilized by the module. If a value

of 'Yes' is entered, the server will be used. Any other value will disable the server.

Service Port Number

1 to 65535 This parameter sets the TCP/IP service port for this server. Each server can

have its own unique service port or can share the same number with other servers.

Busy Timeout

100 to 65535 milliseconds This parameter sets the number of milliseconds the server will wait for the pass-

through port to become available. Valid data range for this parameter is 100 to

65535.

2.5.7 [Radio DFNT Client 0]

This section is used to define the configuration for the master device simulated on network port

Configure the Module 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

Minimum Command Delay

0 to 65535 This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds to wait between the initial

issuance of a command. This parameter can be used to delay all commands sent to slaves to avoid "flooding" commands on the network. This parameter does not affect retries of a command as they will be issued when failure is recognized.

Response Timeout

0 to 65535 milliseconds This parameter represents the message response timeout period in 1 millisecond

increments. This is the time that a port configured as a master will wait before retransmitting a command if no response is received from the addressed slave. The value is set depending upon the communication network used and the expected response time of the slowest device on the network.

Retry Count

0 to 10 This parameter specifies the number of times a command will be retried if it fails.

2.5.8 [Radio DFNT Client 0 Commands]

Command List

In order to interface the virtual database with DF1 slave devices, you must construct a command list. The commands in the list specify the DF1 slave device to be utilized, the function to be performed (read or write), the data area in the device to interface with and the position in the virtual database to be associated with the device data. There is a separate command list for each DF1 master device emulated. The list is processed from top (command #0) to bottom. A poll interval parameter is associated with each command to specify a minimum delay time between the issuance of a command. If the user specifies a value of 10 for the parameter, the command will be executed no more frequently than every 10 seconds for the serial implementation and 1 second for the network implementation.

6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configure the Module Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

Write commands have a special feature, as they can be set to execute only if the data in the write command changes. If the data in the command has not changed since the command was last issued, the command will not be executed. If the data in the command has changed since the command was last issued, the command will be executed. Use of this feature can lighten the load on the DF1 network. In order to implement this feature; set the enable code for the command to a value of 2.

If the module is configured for the serial DF1 half-duplex protocol, the module can act as a master device routing messages between attached slave devices. This peer-to-peer communication is defined in the DF1 protocol specification. The master polls each DF1 slave device until no more data is available from the device. Response messages from the slaves that have a destination address that do not match the module are routed with a request message header back out onto the network. This facility offers communication between the slave devices for control and data monitoring. This feature is not available if the module is configured for DF1 full-duplex mode (point-to-point).

The module supports numerous commands. This permits the module to interface with a wide variety of DF1 protocol devices. This includes PLC2, PLC5, SLC-500 series, MicroLogix and ControlLogix processors. Additionally, other devices supplied by Rockwell Automation that use the DF1 protocol are supported.

The format of each command in the list is dependent on the function being executed. To simplify command construction, the module uses its own set of function codes to associate a command with a DF1 command/function type. The tables below list the functions supported by the module:

Configure the Module 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

Busy Timeout

0 to 65535 This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for the DF1 master

port to become available. If the DF1 master port is processing a command list request, the busy flag will be set. The flag will remain busy until the communication transaction is complete. If the port does not become available before the busy timeout expires, the message will be aborted. If the master port becomes available before this timeout expires, the request will be routed to the master port.

ACK Timeout

0 to 65535 This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for a DLE-ACK

character sequence after a response is issued.

Sample Parameters

To enable pass-through mode, configure Port 1 on the module as a DF1 master port using the DF1 full-duplex protocol. At least one command must be enabled in the DF1 Port 0 Commands section. It is recommended to have one or more seconds set for the Polling Rate.

Stop Bits

1 or 2 Stop bits signal the end of a character in the data stream. For most applications,

use one stop bit. For slower devices that require more time to resynchronize, use two stop bits.

All devices communicating through this port must use the same number of stop bits.

Minimum Response Delay

0 to 65535 This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to wait to respond to a request

on the port. This is required for slow reacting devices.

RTS On

0 to 65535 milliseconds This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after RTS is asserted

before the data will be transmitted.

RTS Off

0 to 65535 milliseconds This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after the last byte of

data is sent before the RTS modem signal will be set low.

Use CTS Line

Yes or No This parameter specifies if the CTS modem control line is to be used. If the

parameter is set to No, the CTS line will not be monitored. If the parameter is set to Yes, the CTS line will be monitored and must be high before the module will send data. Normally, this parameter is required when half-duplex modems are used for communication (2-wire).

Response Timeout

Number of milliseconds to wait for response to command. The value is set depending upon the communication network used and the expected response time of the slowest device on the network. Valid values are 0 to 5000 milliseconds.

Retry Count

0 to 10 This parameter specifies the number of times a command will be retried if it fails.

ENQ Delay

0 to 65535 This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds to wait after a DLE-ACK is

received from a slave using half-duplex mode before the DLE-ENQ request is made for data.

Minimum Command Delay

This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds to wait between issuing each command. This delay value is not applied to retries.

Error Delay Counter

0 to 65535 This parameter specifies the number of polls to be skipped on the slave before

trying to re-establish communications. After the slave fails to respond, the master will skip commands to be sent to the slave the number of times entered in this parameter.

Command Control Reg

0 to 3900 This parameter controls the execution of commands in the user list by setting a

value of 0, 1, or 2. If a user defines the list with a type code of zero for all commands, no commands will execute. If the value in the first control register is changed to one, command zero will execute continuously. The feature can be disabled by setting the parameter value to -1 or by omitting the item name from the configuration file. This feature requires 100 registers of the module's database.

First File

0 to 100 This parameter is used when a request for a file is received on the

communication port. This field is required when responding to PLC5 and SLC DF1 commands. Use this parameter to define the virtual file(s) to be simulated on the module.

File Size

Range 1 to 1000 This parameter specifies the size of each file to be simulated on the module. All

files simulated are defined to have the same assigned size.

File Offset

This parameter sets the database register location of the first element in the first file simulated in the module. All offsets in the first file and subsequent files will be computed using the address specified. Enter a value in the range of 0 to 4999.

2.5.11 [DF1 PORT x COMMANDS]

The [DF1 PORT 1 COMMANDS], [DF1 PORT 2 COMMANDS], and [DF1 PORT 3 COMMANDS] sections of the CFG file set the serial master port command lists. These lists poll slave devices attached to the master ports. The module supports numerous commands.

The command list is formatted differently than the other sections of the configuration file. Commands are present in a block between the labels START and END. These labels inform the program where the list resides. The module's program will parse all commands after the START label until it reaches the END label.

Command List Overview

In order to interface the ProLinx module with slave devices, you must construct a command list. The commands in the list specify the slave device to be addressed, the function to be performed (read or write), the data area in the device to interface with and the registers in the internal database to be associated with the device data. There is a separate command list for each master port, with up to 100 commands allowed per master port. The command list is processed from top (command #0) to bottom. A poll interval parameter is associated with each command to specify a minimum delay time in seconds between the issuance of a command. If the user specifies a value of 10 for the parameter, the command will be executed no more frequently than every 10 seconds.

Write commands have a special feature, as they can be set to execute only if the data in the write command changes. If the register data values in the command have not changed since the command was last issued, the command will not be executed. If the data in the command has changed since the command was last issued, the command will be executed. Use of this feature can lighten the load on the DF1 network. In order to implement this feature; set the enable code for the command to a value of 2.

If the module is configured for the DF1 half-duplex protocol, the module can act as a master device routing messages between attached slave devices. This peer-to-peer communication is defined in the DF1 protocol specification. The master polls each DF1 slave device until no more data is available from the device. Response messages from the slaves that have a destination address that do not match the module are routed with a request message header back out onto the network. This facility offers communication between the slave devices for control and data monitoring. This feature is not available if the module is configured for DF1 full-duplex mode (point-to-point).

This field specifies the internal database register to be associated with the command.

For Read functions, the data read from the slave device will be placed starting at the register value entered in this field.

For write functions, the data written to the slave device will be sourced from the address specified.

This parameter specifies the minimum interval to execute continuous commands (Enable code of 1). The parameter is entered in units of seconds. Therefore, if a value of 10 is entered for a command, the command will execute no more frequently than every 10 seconds.

This parameter specifies the number of registers or digital points to be associated with the command. Functions 5 and 6 ignore this field as they only apply to a single data point.

For Binary data functions, this parameter sets the number of digital points (inputs or coils) to be associated with the command.

For word or register functions, this parameter sets the number of registers to be associated with the command.

This parameter defines if the data received from the slave is to be ordered differently than received from the slave device. This parameter is helpful when dealing with floating-point or other multiregister values, as there is no standard method of storage of these data types in slave devices. This parameter can be set to order the register data received in an order useful by other applications. The following table defines the values and their associated operations:

2.5.12 [Data Map]

The [Data Map] section of the CFG file allows you to selectively copy data registers, one register up to 100 registers at a time, from one internal database area to another. Up to 200 entries can be made in the [Data Map] section, providing a wide and powerful range of functionality.

You can use the Data Map section of the configuration file to copy data from the device error or status table to the internal database register, or to copy data from one area to another. The bytes and/or words copied can be altered to preset the data (for example, floating-point data) in the correct format for a specific protocol.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 49 of 190 February 2, 2009

6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Configure the Module Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

You can also use the Data Map to build a specific block of data to be used by any of the protocol drivers. For example, you can use the data map to build the input and output data area for the PROFIBUS Slave driver.

Moving Data

The following is an example of the Data Map section of the configuration file. This section allows a user to move data to different addresses within the database in order to create simpler data requests and control.

# This section moves data within the database to concentrate # information for simpler data requests and control. The Form Address # specifies the start # database location to copy the number of registers set by Register Count # to the specified To Address (destination of data). When the data is # copied, the order # of the bytes can be altered using the Swap Code # field as follows:

3 Bytes: The bytes in each word are swapped (1234=2143)

Words & Bytes: The words are swapped then the bytes in each word are swapped (1234=4321)

Delay Preset

Copies one portion of the database or virtual database to a user specified location in the database. The Delay Preset represents the scan count of the program between each copy operation. The copy operations should not all happen at the same time, otherwise the process could delay the scan. For example, you should not set all values to a delay preset of 1001. Instead, use values such as 1000, 1001 and 1002, or you can use the preset values. This will keep the copies from happening concurrently.

Configuration/Debug port attached to a terminal emulator.

 LED status indicators on the front of the module provide information on the

module's status.

3.1 The Configuration/Debug Menu

The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree structure, with the Main Menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the module is the Main menu.

Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the command letter from your computer keyboard in the diagnostic window in ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). The module does not respond to mouse movements or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the command letter — you do not need to press [Enter]. When you type a command letter, a new screen will be displayed in your terminal application.

3.1.1 Required Hardware

You can connect directly from your computer's serial port to the serial port on the module to view configuration information, perform maintenance, and send (upload) or receive (download) configuration files.

ProSoft Technology recommends the following minimum hardware to connect your computer to the module:

 80486 based processor (Pentium preferred)  1 megabyte of memory

3 This action opens the Diagnostics dialog box. Press "?" to display the Main

Menu.

Important: The illustrations of configuration/debug menus in this section are intended as a general

guide, and may not exactly match the configuration/debug menus in your own module.

If there is no response from the module, follow these steps: 1 Verify that the null modem cable is connected properly between your

computer's serial port and the module. A regular serial cable will not work.

2 On computers with more than one serial port, verify that your communication

program is connected to the same port that is connected to the module.

If you are still not able to establish a connection, contact ProSoft Technology for assistance.

3.1.3 Navigation

All of the sub-menus for this module contain commands to redisplay the menu or return to the previous menu. You can always return from a sub-menu to the next higher menu by pressing [M] on your keyboard.

The organization of the menu structure is represented in simplified form in the following illustration:

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 59 of 190 February 2, 2009

6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

The remainder of this section shows you the menus available for this module, and briefly discusses the commands available to you.

Keystrokes

The keyboard commands on these menus are almost always non-case sensitive. You can enter most commands in lower case or capital letters.

The menus use a few special characters ([?], [-], [+], [@]) that must be entered exactly as shown. Some of these characters will require you to use the [Shift], [Ctrl] or [Alt] keys to enter them correctly. For example, on US English keyboards, enter the [?] command as [Shift][/].

Also, take care to distinguish capital letter [I] from lower case letter [l] (L) and number [1]; likewise for capital letter [O] and number [0]. Although these characters look nearly the same on the screen, they perform different actions on the module.

3.1.4 Main Menu

Features available through the use of the configuration/debug port on the 6202WA-DFNT-DFCM3 module are all reached using single keystrokes on your computer. There is a single main menu and several sub-menus presented on the port. To view the current selections available, press [?].

All facilities offered by the configuration/debugger are shown on the main menu. You make selections from this menu based on the type of information you want to view.

Redisplaying the Menu

Press [?] to display the current menu. Use this command when you are looking at a screen of data, and want to view the menu choices available to you.

3.1.6 Data Analyzer Tips

From the main menu, press [A] for the "Data Analyzer". You should see the following text appear on the screen:

After the "Data Analyzer" mode has been selected, press [?] to view the Data Analyzer menu. From this menu, you can select the "Port", the "format", and the "ticks" that you can display the data in.

For most applications, HEX is the best format to view the data, and this does include ASCII based messages (because some characters will not display on HyperTerminal and by capturing the data in HEX, we can figure out what the corresponding ASCII characters are supposed to be).

The Tick value is a timing mark. The module will print a _TT for every xx milliseconds of no data on the line. Usually 10milliseconds is the best value to start with.

To save a capture file of your Diagnostics session

1 After you have selected the Port, Format, and Tick, we are now ready to start

a capture of this data. Click the Log to File button at the bottom of the Diagnostics window.

2 When you have captured the data you want to save, click the Stop Logging

button.

You have now captured, and saved the file to your PC. This file can now be used in analyzing the communications traffic on the line, and assist in determining communication errors.

Now you have everything that shows up on the HyperTerminal screen being logged to a file called ProLinxLog.txt. This is the file that you will then be able to email to ProSoft Technical Support to assist with issues on the communications network.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 67 of 190 February 2, 2009

6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

To begin the display of the communications data, you will then want to press 'B' to tell the module to start printing the communications traffic out on the debug port of the module. After you have pressed 'B', you should see something like the following:

The <R+> means that the module is transitioning the communications line to a transmit state.

All characters shown in <> brackets are characters being sent out by the module. The <R-> shows when the module is done transmitting data, and is now ready to

receive information back. And finally, all characters shown in the [ ] brackets is information being received

from another device by the module. After taking a minute or two of traffic capture, you will now want to stop the "Data

Analyzer". To do so, press the 'S' key, and you will then see the scrolling of the data stop.

3.2 LED Indicators

Troubleshooting the operation of the DFNT ports can be performed using several methods.

The first and quickest is to scan the LEDs on the module to determine the existence and possibly the cause of a problem. This section provides insight into the operation of the Serial Port status LEDs. Information on other LEDs can be found in the ProLinx Reference Guide or in the product User Manual.

3.2.1 Ethernet LED Indicators

3.3 Client Error/Status Data

The second and most thorough troubleshooting method for debugging the operation of the DFNT driver (and the module in general) is the powerful Debug port on the module which provides much more complete access to the internal operation and status of the module. Accessing the Debug capabilities of the module is accomplished easily by connecting a PC to the Debug port and loading a terminal program such as ProSoft Configuration Builder or Hyperterminal.

The Client connection Error and Status Data areas are discussed in this section The error/status data table is located in virtual address assigned by ProLinx. If

the address is set to -1, the data will not be placed in the database. It will only be available through the Configuration/Debug Port. If a valid address value is assigned, the module will update the data area.

The data area is initialized with zeros whenever the module is initialized. This occurs during a cold-start (power-on), reset (reset push-button pressed) or a warm-boot operation (commanded or loading of new configuration).

Note: The ProLinx Reference Guide contains detailed information on accessing the contents of the

following registers.

Refer to Error Codes to interpret the status/error codes present in the data area.

3.4 EtherNet/IP Client Command List Error Data

Each command in the command list for each EtherNet/IP client has a reserved word value for a status/error code. This error data list can be read using the Debug/Config Port and can be placed in the module's internal database. Each network client has its own register location parameter.

The first word in the register location defined contains the status/error code for the first command in the client's command list. Each successive word in the command error list is associated with the next command in the list. Therefore, the size of the data area is dependent upon the number of commands defined. The structure of the data area is displayed in the following tables:

Note that the values in the Command List Error Status tables are initialized to zero(0) at power-up, cold boot and during warm boot. Refer to the following topic containing Error Codes to interpret the status/error codes present in the data area.

3.5 Error Codes

The module error codes are listed in this section. Error codes returned from the command list process are stored in the command list error memory region. A word is allocated for each command in the memory area. The error codes are formatted in the word as follows: The least-significant byte of the word contains the extended status code and the most-significant byte contains the status code.

Use the error codes returned for each command in the list to determine the success or failure of the command. If the command fails, use the error code to determine the cause of failure.

Note: The Module Specific error codes (not DF1 compliant) are returned from within the module

 ProSoft Wireless Protocol Functional Overview....................................94

4.1 DF1 Functional Overview

The DF1 Master/Slave Protocol driver can exist in a single port (DFCM) or a multiple port (DFCM3) implementation. In either case, the driver can be configured on an individual port basis to operate as either a DF1 Master or a Slave. Each port is independently configured for communication on a DF1 network and interfaces with the internal database in the module.

4.1.1 Master/Slave Serial Port(s)

The ProLinx module supports the DF1 protocol as a Master or Slave on up to four ports. Each of the ports is individually configurable.

The relationship between the port labeling on the front of the ProLinx module and the application is as follows:

Port Label Function

Debug Debug/Configuration

Following ports only exist on multiple port units

Port 1 DF1 Port 1 Port 2 DF1 Port 2 Port 3 DF1 Port 3

One or more DF1 protocol master ports can be configured on the module to continuously interface with DF1 slave devices over a serial communication interface (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485). Each port is configured independently. Support for half-duplex (master-slave) and full-duplex (point-to-point) DF1 links are provided on the ports. User defined commands determine the commands to be issued on each port. Up to 100 commands can be defined for each port. Data read from the devices are placed in the virtual database. Any write requests for the DF1 slave devices are sourced with data from the virtual database.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 89 of 190 February 2, 2009

6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Functional Overview Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

The module can be configured to place slave devices that are not responding to commands from the master ports at a lower priority. If the module recognizes that a slave device has failed to respond to a message after the user defined retry count, it will mark the slave as "in communication failure" and set the error delay counter to the specified value. Each time the module encounters this slave in the command list, the counter will be decremented. When the value reaches zero, the slave will be placed in an active status. This facility can improve communication throughput on the network.

If the DF1 master port is configured to support the DF1 half-duplex protocol, the master port can be used to route messages between slaves. Peer-to-peer communication is accomplished by the master constantly polling all the slaves on the network and relaying the messages received. The slaves must contain ladder logic with MSG commands to generate and accept messages. This routing can be used in conjunction with the normal command processing discussed above.

DF1 slave devices can be emulated on the module to interface with remote DF1 master devices. Each port is configured independently. Support for half-duplex (master-slave) and full-duplex (point-to-point) DF1 links are provided on the ports. Simulation of a selected set of functions from the basic, PLC5 and SLC command sets are supported. Virtual files are mapped to the internal database in the module to provide support of the PLC5 and SLC command sets.

4.1.2 Module Internal Database

Central to the functionality of the module is the internal database. This database is shared between all the ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from one device on one network to one or more devices on another network. This permits data from devices on one communication port to be viewed and controlled by devices on another port. In addition to data from the slave and master ports, status and error information generated by the module can also be mapped into the internal database.

DF1 Serial Port Driver Access to Database

The following diagram describes the flow of data between the serial port drivers and the internal database.

Page 90 of 190 ProSoft Technology, Inc.

February 2, 2009

Functional Overview 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

The Master driver uses the database in two ways: 1 A read command issued to a slave device by the master driver will return the

slave data into the internal database

2 A write command issued to a slave device by the master driver uses the data

in the internal database to write to the slave device

The slave driver accesses data from the internal database. External DF1 master devices can monitor and control data in this database through these slave port(s). Setup of the slave ports only requires the CFG file.

4.2 EtherNet/IP Functional Overview

The ProLinx EtherNet/IP (DFNT) driver can be used to interface many different protocols into the family of processors as well as other software-based solutions. The DFNT driver supports Client connections as well as Server connections. With the addition of the WEB hardware option, the module also provides HTTP, FTP and Email capability.

The Ethernet driver interfaces with a common internal database in the module. This permits the sharing of data across many different networks. processors supported on the TCP/IP network include ControlLogix, PLC5 Ethernet and SLC 5/05.

The following illustration shows the functionality of the DFNT driver.

4.2.2 WA-DFNT Server Access to Database

The following illustration shows the relationship of the DFNT module's functionality to devices on an Ethernet network:

Server functionality places all data transfer operations outside the module. There is no configuration required in the module other than setting up the network and database parameters in the configuration file. Ladder logic in attached processors use MSG instructions to perform read and write operations on the module's internal database.

When RSLinx links a user application to the module, the module's server functionality must be used. RSLinx exists on an Ethernet network only as a client application. It cannot act as a server. User applications can use the DDE/OPC capabilities built into RSLinx to interface with the data in the DFNT module. RSView can link directly to the module using drivers supplied by RSLinx.

The internal database of the DFNT module is used as the source (read requests) and destination (write requests) for requests from remote clients. Access to the database is dependent on the MSG command type executed to interface with the database. The following table defines the relationship of the module's internal database to the addresses required in the MSG instructions:

4.3 ProSoft Wireless Protocol Functional Overview

The ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) driver can be used to interface many different protocols with PWP devices. PWP allows one controller to produce or send an area of its memory onto a network at a specified rate. It also allows another controller to consume or receive this data. Each data message contains a data sample, or snapshot, of a specific portion of the producing node's memory. Data messages are uniquely identified so that consuming nodes can relate the incoming data with a specific configuration (known as an exchange) which describes key characteristics of the data sample. A node can contain a number of these exchanges, so that it may be both a consumer of some exchanges and a producer of others at the same time.

Periodic Data Services provide an efficient mechanism which allows the repeated transmission of a set of variables from a controller which produces data, to one or more controllers which consume the data. Significant features of the Periodic Data Service include:

 A single request for data from a consumer controller can cause data packets

to be sent repetitively from the producer.

 The set of data variables to be sent periodically can be pre-defined so that

the controller starts sending the data as soon as it is initialized.

 Data can be sent to the specific node that requested it, or simultaneously to a

group of nodes.

Functional Overview 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

Periodic Data Services utilize a low level protocol (UDP/IP) which requires less overhead than fully acknowledged stream oriented protocols.

4.3.1 Underlying Protocol Requirements and Constraints

PWP protocol messages are classified as data messages. PWP operates on a message based, connectionless network transport layer, such as the internet UDP/IP protocol. Each protocol message is sent to a specific network access point (UDP port) on one or more destination nodes. Data messages are individually configured to send a sample of data at a fixed periodic rate. Each data message that a node sends or receives is associated with a specific identifier, which uniquely defines the configuration of the data sample. This configuration is called an exchange. PWP allows the configuration of exchanges which are sent to:

 A single destination address (IP Unicast addressing)  A group of addresses (IP Multicast addressing)  All PWP nodes (IP Broadcast addressing).

An assigned set of 32 IP Multicast addresses has been defined for use by applications requiring the transmission of data exchanges to a group of nodes. The following tables show the defined network parameters for PWP.

Assigned UDP Network Ports

Parameter UDP Port

Command Port 7937. (1F01H) Data Port 18246. (4746H)

Multicast Address Assignments

Parameter IP Address

Group 1 224.0.7.1 Group 2 224.0.7.2 … … Group 32 224.0.7.32

The user defines the data to be produced and consumed in a configuration file downloaded to the module. The driver interfaces with a common internal database in the module. This permits the sharing of data across many different types of networks.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 95 of 190 February 2, 2009

6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Functional Overview Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

The following illustration shows the functionality of the PWP driver when interfaced with serial communication based and 802.11b wireless networks:

In order to use these functions, an exchange must first exist in the module's exchange list defining the database and register count. If the production/consumption time is set to zero, the exchange will never be produced or consumed and will only be valid for command processing. These functions should be used for data that is not time critical and does not require periodic updating. The maximum length of the message is limited to 1400 bytes.

4.3.2 Module Internal Database

Central to the functionality of the module is the internal database. This database is shared between all the drivers in the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from one device on one network to one or more devices on another network. This permits data from devices on one communication port to be viewed and controlled by devices on another port. The following topics discuss the relationship of the internal database to the PWP Producer and the PWP Consumer.

Functional Overview 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 ♦ ProLinx Gateway Wireless EtherNet/IP to DF1 Master/Slave-3 ports

PWP Producer

The PWP driver will generate produced data as defined in the user configuration exchange list. This data is derived from the module's internal database and is produced at the set frequency defined in the exchange list. This data can be broadcast to all nodes, sent to a specific multicast group or sent to a specific node on the network. Up to 680 database registers can be transferred in a single produced message. Therefore, to transfer the whole database would only require 6 messages (4000 word registers in the module's database).

The producer functionality provided in the PWP driver is used to transfer portions of the module's database to other PWP nodes on the network. The following diagram describes the flow of data between the Producer, the internal database and the remote Consumer device:

PWP Consumer

The PWP driver will consume data as defined in the user configuration exchange list. This data is derived from other nodes on the network and is placed in the module's internal database. If a consumer exchange is not received at the specified timeout, the driver will update the status of the exchange. When the driver again receives the exchange, the status will be updated. Exchanges received by the consumer driver that are not defined in the exchange list will be discarded. Up to 680 words of data can be consumed in a single message. Therefore, to fill the whole database with values would only require 6 exchanges (4000 word registers in the module's database).

The consumer functionality provided in the PWP driver is used to transfer data from other nodes on the network into the module's database. The following diagram describes the flow of data between the Consumer, the internal database and the remote Producer device:

Functional Specifications - ProSoft Wireless Protocol

ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) offers versatility where a mix of control devices requires cooperation with each other. This involves sharing of information across the applications regardless of device or network type, often at high speed, and with high reliability. Wireless bandwidth utilization is optimized by using efficient communication methods. The protocol supports Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast group messaging. Efficiency is based on the fact each device on the "wireless" network can produce these types of messages and each device determines which of these messages to consume.
