Use of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)

For a complete ControlLogix compatibility matrix, see publication IA-AT003
The 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR uses the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). CIP is the application layer protocol specified for EtherNet/IP, the Ethernet Industrial Protocol, as well as for ControlNet and DeviceNet. It is a message-based protocol that implements a relative path to send a message from the “producing” device in a system to the “consuming” devices.
The producing device contains the path information that steers the message along the proper route to reach its consumers. Because the producing device holds this information, other devices along the path simply pass this information; they do not need to store it.
This has two significant benefits:
You do not need to configure routing tables in the bridging modules,
which greatly simplifies maintenance and module replacement.
You maintain full control over the route taken by each message, which
enables you to select alternative paths for the same end device.
.

Understand the Producer/Consumer Model

Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
The CIP “producer/consumer” networking model replaces the old source/destination (“master/slave”) model. The producer/consumer model reduces network traffic and increases speed of transmission. In traditional I/O systems, controllers poll input modules to obtain their input status. In the CIP system, input modules are not polled by a controller. Instead, they produce their data either upon a change of state (COS) or periodically. The frequency of update depends upon the options chosen during configuration and where on the network the input module resides. The input module, therefore, is a producer of input data and the controller is a consumer of the data.
The controller can also produce data for other controllers to consume. The produced and consumed data is accessible by multiple controllers and other devices over the EtherNet/IP network. This data exchange conforms to the producer/consumer model.
About 1732E ArmorBlock Modules 3

Specify the Requested Packet Interval (RPI)

Chapter Summary and What’s Next

The Requested Packet Interval (RPI) is the update rate specified for a particular piece of data on the network. This value specifies how often to produce the data for that device. For example, if you specify an RPI of 50 ms, it means that every 50 ms the device sends its data to the controller or the controller sends its data to the device.
RPIs are only used for devices that exchange data. For example, a ControlLogix EtherNet/IP bridge module in the same chassis as the controller does not require an RPI because it is not a data-producing member of the system; it is used only as a bridge to remote modules.
In this chapter you were given an overview of the 1732E ArmorBlock family of modules. The next chapter is an overview of the 1732E EtherNet/IP ArmorBlock Supporting Sequence of Events module.

Introduction to CIP Sync

If the ring topology is used, the ArmorBlock Supporting Sequence of Events) must be designated in the system, and it will determine the beacon rate and the timeout period. For more information on topologies, refer to publication ENET-AP005 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR module is a CIP Sync slave only device. There must be another module on the network that will function as a master clock.
Each input connector's Sensor Source Voltage (SSV) is protected from short circuits to ground as well as open wire conditions due to missing sensor or cable disconnection. These conditions are indicated in the modules input tags and by its input LEDs flashing red for open wire or being solid red for short circuit.
CIP is the Common Industrial Protocol that we use to let all Rockwell products communicate with each other whether it be on a DeviceNet, ControlNet, and/or an EtherNet network. Since it is an ODVA standard, other industrial product manufactures develop products to communicate via the CIP protocol.
CIP Sync is a CIP implementation of the IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) in which devices can bridge the PTP time across backplanes and on to other networks via EtherNet/IP ports.

What is IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol)?
The IEEE 1588 standard specifies a protocol to synchronize independent clocks running on separate nodes of a distributed measurement and control system to a high degree of accuracy and precision. The clocks communicate with each other over a communication network. In its basic form, the protocol is intended to be administration free. The protocol generates a master slave relationship among the clocks in the system. Within a given subnet of a network there will be a single master clock. All clocks ultimately derive their time from a clock known as the grandmaster clock. This is called Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
The PTP is a time-transfer protocol defined in the IEEE 1588-2008 standard that allows precise synchronization of networks, for example, Ethernet. Accuracy within the nanosecond range can be achieved with this protocol when using hardware generated synchronization.
IEEE 1588 is designed for local systems requiring very high accuracies beyond those attainable using Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a GPS.

CIP Sync Support
CIP Sync supports the IEEE 1588-2008 synchronization standard. In this architecture, a grandmaster clock provides a master time reference for the system time. The 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR module is a CIP Sync slave only device. There must be another module on the network that will function as a master clock. The grandmaster could be:
a 1756 ControlLogix L6 or L7controller when using RSLogix 5000
software V18 or later.
an Ethernet switch that supports IEEE 1588 V2, or
a Symmetricom Grand Master GPS or equivalent.
What is CIP Sync?
CIP Sync is a CIP implementation of the IEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol). CIP Sync provides accurate real-time (Real-World Time) or Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) synchronization of controllers and devices connected over CIP networks. This technology supports highly distributed applications that require time stamping, sequence of events recording, distributed motion control, and increased control coordination.
What is Time Stamping?
Each input has its own individual timestamp recorded for both ON and OFF transitions. The offset from the timestamp to the local clock is also recorded so that steps in time can be detected and resolved. Diagnostic events such as short circuit, open wire and open load are not time stamped.
Time stamping uses the 64-bit System Time whose time base is determined by the modules master clock resolved in microseconds. Each timestamp is updated as soon as an input transition is detected, before input filtering occurs. When filtering is enabled, the transition is only recorded if the transition passes the filter.
The module starts time stamping as soon as it powers up, even if it is not synchronized to a master clock. If it is synchronized to a master clock and then becomes unsynchronized it will continue to time stamp. All time stamps and offsets have a value of zero at power-up.

8 Module Overview

Introduction to Sequence of Events modules

The 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR is an input module that offers sub-millisecond timestamping on a per point basis in addition to providing the basic ON/OFF detection.
All input point event times are recorded and returned in a single buffer. The module returns two 64-bit timestamps for each input point, thus allowing:
Filtering allows all inputs on the module to be filtered for both ON to OFF and OFF to ON transitions. The timestamp for a filtered input will be the time of the initial transition to the new state and not the time that the filter validates the event as real.
Selective Event Capturing allows particular events to be disabled per input and per transition, ON to OFF or OFF to ON.
ON and OFF events for each point to be displayed simultaneously in
the input data.
ladder logic not being explicitly required to see events, although needed
to archive events.
events to be kept in the controller memory during remote power loss
thus eliminating data loss.
Event latching ensures that events are not overwritten. A single transition in each direction is recorded per point. Any new event, which occurs after the point has captured a time stamp, is dropped until the stored events have been acknowledged.
If latching is not enabled, new events overwrite old events immediately. Thus, if inputs are changing rapidly it may be possible that events will be lost either in the module or the controller prior to an event being operated on by ladder logic.
When events are lost, either old ones being overwritten or new ones being ignored due to latching, an EventOverflow bit will be set for each point that loses an event. The EventOverflow bit will clear when the blocking events for that point are acknowledged.
Timestamping is a feature that registers a time reference to a change in input data. For the 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR, the time mechanism used for timestamping is (PTP) system time. The 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR module is a PTP slave only device. There must be another module module on the network that will function as a master clock.

High Performance Sequence of Events Applications in the Logix Architecture
Sequence of Events (SOE) applications span a wide range of industry applications. Typically any event that needs to be compared against a second event can be classified as SOE.
Used on discrete machines to identify failure points
Used in Power Substations or power plants to indicate first fault
conditions
Used in SCADA applications to indicate pump failures or other discrete
events
Used in motion control applications to increase control coordination.
Used in high speed applications
Used in Global Position Registration
In today's environment, specifications for SOE applications typically require 1 ms or better resolution on time stamps. There are two types of SOE applications.
First Fault
First Fault measures the time between events with no correlation to events outside of that system.
Real Time
Real Time captures the time of an event occurrence as it relates to some master clock. Typically this is a GPS, NTP server or some other very accurate clock source. This method allows distributed systems to capture events and build a history of these events. These events are almost always digital, however some are analog for which lower performance requirements can be configured.
First Fault Detection
An example of first fault detection would be intermittent failure from a sensor on a safety system faults a machine and halts production cascading a flood of other interrelated machine faults. Traditional fault detection or alarms may not appear in the correct timed order of actual failure making root cause of the down time difficult or impossible.
Time Stamped I/O
High precision time stamps on I/O allows very accurate first fault detection making it easy to identify the initial fault that caused machine down time.
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
10 Module Overview
Common Time base for Alarming System logs user interaction as well as alarm events using common time reference.
The power industry requires sub 1 ms accuracy on first fault across geographically dispersed architecture.
High Speed Applications
Packaging machines or sorters that have fast part cycles are often bottlenecked by controller scan times. By switching to a time based solution, you can remove many scan time critical components of the system. This programming technique allows you to do predictive events and schedule outputs to run things like diverters without having a scan time to match the part cycle time.
Motion Control
CIP Sync also provides a common time reference for distributed VFD drives, servo’s, and controllers throughout the system. This allows controllers to request axes reach a pre-defined position at a known time reference or run at a set speed using the same reference. Since all drives and controllers in the system have the same reference to time, the controller can issue simple requests for axes to reach target positions in a synchronized fashion.
Global Position Registration
Registration refers to a function usually performed by the drive where a physical input is triggered causing the drive to precisely capture the actual axis position when the input event occurred. Rather than wiring inputs to the registration input on all of the drives, this time based system lets you wire an input to only one time based SOE input module. The time stamp returned for that input, can be used by the motion planner to calculate the actual axis position at the time the input triggered. This simplifies system installation, reduces wiring costs, and provides a global machine registration for all the axes in the system thru one SOE input.

Configure the Module for Your EtherNet/IP Network

Introduction

Before using the 1732E EtherNet/IP ArmorBlock Supporting Sequence of Events in an EtherNet/IP network, configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This chapter describes these configuration requirements and the procedures for providing them. Here are the ways you can do this:
Use the Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or greater, that ships
with RSLogix 5000 or RSLinx software. You can also use this utility to reconfigure a device whose IP address must be changed.
Use a third party DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
Use the Network Address switches.
Have your network administrator configure the module via the network
server.
See the table for a list of where to find specific information in this chapter.

Configuration Requirements

17 Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
Before you can use your module, you must configure its IP address, its subnet mask, and optionally, gateway address. You have the option to use the Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or greater, to perform the configuration. You also have the option to use a DHCP server or the network address switches to configure these parameters.
18 Configure the Module for Your EtherNet/IP Network
If the module needs to be reset to factory defaults, set the switches on the module to the value 888 and then cycle power to the module.
IMPORTANT
If using the BootP/DHCP utility, you will need to know the Ethernet hardware address of your module. Rockwell assigns each module a unique 48-bit hardware address at the factory. The address is printed on a label on the side of your module. It consists of six hexadecimal digits separated by colons. This address is fixed by the hardware and cannot be changed.
If you change or replace the module, you must enter the new Ethernet hardware address of the module when you configure the new module.
IP Address
The IP address identifies each node on the IP network (or system of connected networks). Each TCP/IP node on a network (including your module) must have a unique IP address.
The IP address is 32 bits long and has a net ID part and a Host ID part. Networks are classified A, B, C, (or other). The class of the network determines how an IP address is formatted.
Class A
Class B

Net ID
You can distinguish the class of the IP address from the first integer in its dotted-decimal IP address as follows:
Classes of IP Addresses
Range of first integer Class Range of first integer Class
0…127 A 192…223 C
128...191 B 224…255 other
Each node on the same logical network must have an IP address of the same class and must have the same net ID. Each node on the same network must have a different Host ID thus giving it a unique IP address.
31
31
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
Configure the Module for Your EtherNet/IP Network 19
IP addresses are written as four decimal integers (0...255) separated by periods where each integer gives the value of one byte of the IP address.
EXAMPLE
For example, the 32-bit IP address:
10000000 00000001 00000000 00000001 is written as
128.1.0.1.
Gateway Address
This section applies to multi-network systems. If you have a single network system, skip to the next section.
The gateway address is the default address of a network. It provides a single domain name and point of entry to the site. Gateways connect individual networks into a system of networks. When a node needs to communicate with a node on another network, a gateway transfers the data between the two networks. The following figure shows gateway G connecting Network 1 with Network 2.
A
128.1.0.1
B
128.2.0.1
Network 1
C
128.2.0.2
Network 2
128.1.0.2
G
128.2.0.3
When host B with IP address 128.2.0.1 communicates with host C, it knows from C’s IP address that C is on the same network. In an Ethernet environment, B then resolves C’s IP address into a hardware address (MAC address) and communicates with C directly.
When host B communicates with host A, it knows from A’s IP address that A is on another network (the net IDs are different). In order to send data to A, B must have the IP address of the gateway connecting the two networks. In this example, the gateway’s IP address on Network 2 is 128.2.0.3.
The gateway has two IP addresses (128.1.0.2 and 128.2.0.3). The first must be used by hosts on Network 1 and the second must be used by hosts on Network 2. To be usable, a host’s gateway must be addressed using a net ID matching its own.
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
20 Configure the Module for Your EtherNet/IP Network
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used for splitting IP networks into a series of subgroups, or subnets. The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the Host ID address field into a field for subnets.
EXAMPLE
Take Network 2 (a Class B network) in the previous example and add another network. Selecting the following subnet mask would add two additional net ID bits, allowing for four logical networks:
11111111 11111111 11000000 00000001 = 255.255.192.0
These two bits of the host ID used to extend the net ID
Two bits of the Class B host ID have been used to extend the net ID. Each unique combination of bits in the part of the Host ID where subnet mask bits are 1 specifies a different logical network.
The new configuration is:
A
128.1.0.1
Network 1
128.1.0.2
G
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
B
128.2.64.1
D
128.2.128.1
C
Network 2.1
E
128.2.128.2
Network 2.2
128.2.64.3
G2
128.2.128.3
A second network with Hosts D and E was added. Gateway G2 connects Network 2.1 with Network 2.2. Hosts D and E use Gateway G2 to communicate with hosts not on Network 2.2. Hosts B and C use Gateway G to communicate with hosts not on Network 2.1. When B is communicating with D, G (the configured gateway for B) routes the data from B to D through G2.
Configure the Module for Your EtherNet/IP Network 21

Set the Network Address

The I/O block ships with the rotary switches set to 999 and DHCP enabled. To change the network address, you can do one of the following:
1. Adjust the switches on the front of the module.
2. Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as
Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP.
3. Retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory.
The I/O block reads the switches first to determine if the switches are set to a valid number. Set the network address by adjusting the 3 switches on the front of the module. Use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the switches. Line up the small notch on the switch with the number setting you wish to use. Valid settings range from 001…254.
Network Address Example
This example shows the network address set at 163

Use the Rockwell BootP/DHCP Utility

44233
When the switches are set to a valid number, the I/O block’s IP address is
192.168.1.xxx (where xxx represents the number set on the switches). The I/O block’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. When the I/O block uses the network address set on the switches, the I/O block does not have a host name assigned to it or use any Domain Name Server.
If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater than 254, excluding 888), the I/O block checks to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the I/O block asks for an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server also assigns other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
If DHCP is not enabled, and the switches are set to an invalid number, the I/O block uses the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory.
The Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility is a stand alone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BootP/DHCP software with a user-friendly graphical interface. It is located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix 5000

To configure your module using the BootP/DHCP utility, perform the following steps:
1. Run the BootP/DHCP software.
The BOOTP/DHCP Request History dialog appears showing the hardware addresses of devices issuing BootP/DHCP requests.
2. Double-click the hardware address of the device you want to configure.
The New Entry dialog appears showing the device’s Ethernet Address (MAC).
3. Enter the IP Address you want to assign to the device and click OK.

The device is added to the Relation List, displaying the Ethernet Address (MAC) and corresponding IP Address, Hostname and Description (if applicable).
When the IP address assignment is made, the address displays in the IP Address column in the Request History section.
4. To assign this configuration to the device, highlight the device in the Relation List panel and click Disable BOOTP/DHCP. When power is cycled to the device, it uses the configuration you assigned and not does not issue a DHCP request.
TIP
To enable DHCP for a device that has had DHCP disabled, highlight the device in the Relation List and click Enable DHCP. You must have an entry for the device in the Relation List panel to re-enable DHCP.

You can save the Relation List to use later. To save the Relation List do the following:
1. Select Save As... from the File menu.

Use DHCP Software to Configure Your Module

The Save As dialog box appears.
2. Select the folder you want to save the list to.
3. Enter a file name for the Relation List (for example, control system

If you want to see your saved file names in the Open dialog box, save your files using the default file type (*.bpc).
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) software automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on BootP and maintains some backward compatibility. The main difference is that BootP was designed for manual configuration, while DHCP

allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached devices.
Be aware that a DHCP server typically assigns a finite lease time to the offered IP address. When 50 percent of the leased time has expired, the module will attempt to renew its IP address with the DHCP server. The module could be assigned a different IP address, which would cause communicating with the ControlLogix controller to cease.

Chapter Summary and What’s Next

ATTENTION
In this chapter, you learned how to configure the module to communicate on your EtherNet/IP network by providing an IP address, gateway address, and Subnet mask. The next chapter describes an example application in which you configure discrete I/O.
To avoid unintentional control, the module must be assigned a fixed IP address. The IP address of this module should not be dynamically provided. If a DHCP server is used, it must be configured to assign a fixed IP address for your module.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended machine motion or loss of process control.

Configure Your I/O Module

Overview of the Configuration Process

You must configure your module upon installation. The module will not work until it has been configured with at least the default configuration.
RSLogix 5000 Configuration Software
You must use RSLogix 5000, version 17 or later to set configuration for your module. You have the option of accepting default configuration for your module or writing point level configuration specific to your application.
Both options are explained in detail, including views of software screens, in this chapter.
When you use the RSLogix 5000 software to configure a module, you must perform the following steps:
1. Add the Local EtherNet/IP Bridge (1756-EN2T or 1756-EN2TR) to your project’s I/O Configuration.
2. Add the 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR as a child of the 1756-EN2T module.

Add a New Bridge and Module to Your RSLogix 5000 Project

3. Accept the default configuration or change it to specific configuration for the module.
4. Edit configuration for a module when changes are needed.
After you have started RSLogix 5000 and created a controller, you must add a new bridge and a new module to your project. The bridge allows your module to communicate with the controller.
The wizard allows you to create a new module and write configuration. You can use default configuration or write specific configuration for your application.

42 Module Features

Determine Module Compatibility

Primarily, this module is used to interface to sensing devices and detect whether they are ON or OFF and to timestamp ON and OFF transitions. The module converts ON/OFF signals from user devices to appropriate logic level for use in the processor. Typical input devices include:
auxiliary contacts
limit switches
When designing a system using these modules, you must consider:
the voltage necessary for your application
whether you need a solid state device
current leakage
if your application should use sinking or sourcing wiring.
For more information on compatibility of other Rockwell Automation products to modules, see the I/O Systems Overview, publication CIG-SO001
There are two types of features available on the module:
Module Features That Can Be Configured - Features that can be
adjusted to make sure the module operates as efficiently as possible in your application (for example., input filter times)
Other Inherent Module Features - Features that cannot be changed but
are still crucial to module functionality (for example, producer/consumer model).
.

Module Features That Can Be Configured

Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
The following features on the module can be configured
This feature is described on
Timestamp Capture 43 Timestamp Latching 44 Input Diagnostics 45 Software Configurable Input Filters 46
Module Features 43
Operational Mode
The module operates only in Per Point Mode:
Per Point Mode
The module produces timestamps for up to 2 input transitions per input, one for OFF to ON transitions and another for ON to OFF transitions; these timestamps can occur simultaneously on separate inputs.
Timestamp Capture
Timestamp Capture instructs the module to timestamp specific input point transitions. You can use this feature to instruct the module to capture the timestamp when the inputs transition from:
OFF to ON only
ON to OFF only or
both OFF to ON and ON to OFF
When Timestamp Capture is enabled for specific points and transitions occur for those points, the module not only captures the timestamp at the transition occurrence but also sends input data to the controller.
IMPORTANT
All points on the module have Enable Timestamp Capture enabled by default for both ON to OFF and OFF to ON transitions.
Additionally, you must specify an RPI regardless of whether you use Timestamp Capture on any input points. If a change does not occur within the RPI timeframes, the module will still produce data at the rate specified by the RPI.
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
44 Module Features
Click the Configuration tab.
Click on the individual boxes for
each input point to Timestamp Capture for that point.
Clear the individual boxes for
each input point to disable Timestamp Capture for that point.
You can also use these boxes to enable or disable all points simultaneously.
Use the Configuration tab in RSLogix 5000 to set Timestamp Capture, as shown in the example.
Timestamp Latching
Timestamp Latching can be used to prevent the module from overwriting input data once it is timestamped.
If Timestamp Latching is enabled, the module timestamps an input in a
given direction and ignores future input transitions in that direction until the controller acknowledges the timestamp data already received.
If Timestamp Latching is disabled, the module timestamps every input
transition and may overwrite previously recorded timestamp data if the controller does not acknowledge the data quickly enough.
This feature is set on a modulewide basis and is enabled by default.
Use the Configuration tab in RSLogix 5000 to enable Timestamp Latching, as shown in the example.
Select this box to enable the Timestamp Latching feature.
Unselect the box to disable the feature.
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
Module Features 45
Input Diagnostics
As with other modules with diagnostics, the input connector’s Sensor Source Voltage (SSV), on Pin 1 of the input connectors, is protected from short circuits to ground as well as open wire conditions due to a missing sensor or to a cable disconnection.
Short Circuit Protection
Each connector with inputs is protected against short circuits to ground. The circuit automatically resets each connector individually and the SSV energizes once the short circuit is removed.
When a short circuit condition is detected, the module issues a diagnostic for a short circuit in the module’s input tag and solid red input LEDs are illuminated for the inputs associated with that connector. For more information on interpreting Status Indicators, see page 69
.
Short circuit detection cannot be disabled.
Open Wire Detection
Open Wire Detection can be used to monitor each input connector for cable disconnection conditions.
If Open Wire Detection is enabled, the module monitors the enabled
input connectors for cable disconnections. If an open wire condition is detected, the module issues a diagnostic for an open wire in the module’s input tag and blinks the red diagnostic LEDs for the inputs associated with that connector. For more information on interpreting Status Indicators indicators, see page 69
If Open Wire Detection is disabled, the module will not signal a fault for
the disabled input connectors.
Disabling Open Wire Detection on unused inputs prevents the module from signaling a fault even though nothing is connected to it. This feature is set on an input connector basis and is disabled for all inputs by default.
.
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
46 Module Features
Click on the individual boxes for
each input point to enable Open Wire Detection for that point.
Clear the individual boxes for
each input point to disable Open Wire Detection for that point.
You can also select this box to enable or disable all points simultaneously.
Use the Configuration tab in RSLogix 5000 to enable Open Wire Detection, as shown in the example.
Software Configurable Input Filters
To account for hard contact “bounce”, you can configure ON to OFF and OFF to ON input filter times in RSLogix 5000 for your module. These filters define how long an input transition must remain in the new state before the module considers the transition valid.
IMPORTANT
Input filters are applied to all inputs on the module. You cannot apply input filters to individual inputs on the module.
When an input transition occurs, the module timestamps the transition on the initial edge of the transition and stores data for the transition on-board; the module then scans the input where the transition occurred every millisecond for the length of the filter time setting to verify that the input remains in the new state (remained OFF or ON).
If the input remains in the new state for a time period equal to the filter
time setting, the module sends data for the transition to the controller.
When an input transition is detected the module counts the number of 1 ms intervals the input is in the new state until the count reaches the filter value.
If the input changes state again (returns to the original state) before the
length of time of the filter setting has elapsed, the module starts decrementing the number of 1 ms intervals counted until it reaches zero. At this point the module stops filtering the input and discards the timestamp. During this continued scan period, one of the following events occurs:
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
Module Features 47
– At some point while still filtering the input, the input returns to the
transitioned state and remains there until the module counts the number of 1 ms intervals equal to the filter setting. In this case, the module sends data from the transition to the controller.
– The input does not remain in the transitioned state for a time period
equal to the filter setting and the 1 ms counter decrements to zero. In this case, the module does not consider the original transition valid and drops the timestamp.
The following example illustrates how the module’s input filters operate.
In the example, a module:
is Timestamp Capture-enabled for all of its points
uses a 2 ms input filter setting for OFF to ON transitions
Three possible scenarios can result after an input transitioning from OFF to ON in the given circumstances.
Input turns ON; timestamp recorded
Scenario #1 (no bounce) – The input turns ON and remains for the full
2 ms. In this case, the module considers the transition valid and sends the data recorded at the transition to the controller. Note the input was sampled as being on three different times: 0 ms, 1ms and 2ms.
Input remains ON for at least 2 ms; transition is considered valid and the timestamp is sent to the controller

Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
48 Module Features
Scenario #2 – The input turns ON but turns OFF before 2 ms (length
of the input filter setting) elapses. In this case, the module continues to scan the input every millisecond. At some point, less than 2 ms later, the input turns ON again and remains for 1 to 2 ms, the third ON sampled 1 ms interval (in this case at 6 ms). In this case, the module considers the transition valid and sends the data timestamped at the original transition to the controller.
Input turns ON; timestamp recorded
Input turns OFF before 2 ms have elapsed.
012345678
Scenario #3 – The input turns ON but turns OFF before 2 ms (length
of the input filter setting) elapses. In this case, the module continues to scan the input every millisecond until the 1 ms counter decrements to zero. The input never remains ON for at least 2 consecutive ms intervals, the third ON sampled 1 ms interval. In this case, the module considers the transition invalid and drops the data timestamped at the original transition.
Input turns OFF before 2 ms have elapsed.
Time in milliseconds
In none of these time periods is the input ON for at least 2 consecutive ms intervals.
Input turns ON and remains ON for 1…2 ms.
The module sends the timestamp recorded at the original transition point to the controller.

Input turns ON; timestamp #1 recorded
012345678
43671
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
Time in milliseconds
After 7 ms, the module drops the data recorded at the original transition. If an RPI occurs during this 7 ms, the module sends the controller its current valid input data; the data that’s sent does not include data from the transition describes in this graphic because the timestamp has not been validated.
The next time the input turns ON, the module records the transition as timestamp #1, with the timestamp of the new input transition.
Type the filter times or use the drop down menu to select the Input Filter Time.
The Input Filter Time range is 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 ms.
Module Features 49
Use the Configuration tab in RSLogix 5000 software to configure Input Filters, as shown in the example below.
Communications Format
The communications format determines what operational mode your module uses and, consequently, what tags RSLogix 5000 generates when configuration is complete. Once a module is created, you cannot change the communications format unless you delete and recreate the module.
The 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR module can only use Per Point mode as the communication format.
Electronic Keying
Electronic keying allows the ControlLogix system to control what modules belong in the configured system.
During module configuration, you must choose one of the following keying options for your module:
Exact Match
Compatible Module
Disable Keying
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
50 Module Features
When the controller attempts to connect to and configure a module (for example, after program download), the module compares the following parameters before allowing the connection and configuration to be accepted:
Vendo r
Product Type
Product Code
Major Revision - Change that affects the module’s function or
RSLogix 5000 interface
Minor Revision - Change that does not affect the module’s intended
function or RSLogix 5000 interface
The comparison is made between the keying information present in the module and the keying information in the controller’s program, preventing the inadvertent operation of a system with the wrong module. For example, if you select Exact Match and a module with revision 1.2 is placed in a location configured for a module with revision 1.4, the controller does not make a connection to the new module because of the mismatched revisions.
The following table describes the keying options available with your module.
Keying option: Definition: Exact Match All of the parameters listed above must match or the inserted module will reject a connection to the controller. Compatible Module The Compatible Module mode allows the module to determine whether it can emulate the module defined in
the configuration sent from the controller. Some modules can emulate older revisions. The module will accept the configuration if the configuration’s major.minor revision is less than or equal to the physical module’s revision.
For example, if the configuration contains a major.minor revision of 1.7, the module must have a firmware revision of 1.7 or higher for a connection to be made. When a module is inserted with a major.minor revision that is less than the revision configured (that is., the module has a revision of 1.6 and the slot is configured for a module with revision 1.8), no connection is made between the controller and the I/O module.
TIP
We recommend using Compatible Module whenever possible. Remember, though, with major revision changes, the module only works to the level of the configuration.
At the time of this printing, the module uses a major.minor revision of 1.6 if a new major revision for the module is released, consider this example. If a module is configured for major.minor revision of 1.7 and you insert a module with a major.minor revision of 2.3, the module works at the 1.7 level, with respect to module functions that are related to RSLogix 5000 software such as interface changes. Anomaly updates that are affected by the module’s firmware, though, would work at the 2.3 revision level.
(1)
However,
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
If possible, we recommend that you make sure configuration is updated to match the revision levels of all I/O modules, including your module. Failure to do so may not prevent the application from working but may defeat the purpose of upgrading your modules’ revision levels.
Keying option: Definition: Disable Keying The inserted module attempts to accept a connection to the controller regardless of its type.
ATTENTION
If keying is disabled, a controller makes a connection with most modules of the same type as that used in the configuration.
A controller will NOT establish a connection if any of the following conditions exist, even if keying is disabled:
The module is configured for one module type (for example, input module) and a module of another type (for
example, output module) is used.
The module cannot accept some portion of the configuration. For example, if a non-diagnostic input module
is configured for a diagnostic input module, the controller cannot make a connection because the module will not accept/process the diagnostic configuration.
(1)
Minor revisions are incremented by single counts such that minor level 10 (major.minor revision level = 1.10) follows minor revision level 9 (1.9).
Be extremely cautious when using the disable keying option; if used incorrectly, this option can lead to personal injury or death, property damage or economic loss.
Module Features 51
Module Inhibiting
With module inhibiting, you can indefinitely suspend a connection between an owner-controller and a module. This process can occur in the following way:
You write configuration for a module but inhibit the module to prevent
it from communicating with the owner-controller. In this case, the owner-controller does not establish a connection and configuration is not sent to the module until the connection is uninhibited.
The following examples are instances where you may need to use module inhibiting:
You want to FLASH upgrade your module. We recommend you:
a. Inhibit the module.
b. Perfor m the upgrade.
c. Uninhibit the module.
You are using a program that includes a module that you do not
physically possess yet, but you do not want the controller to continually look for a module that does not exist yet. In this case, you can inhibit the module in your program until it physically resides on the network.

52 Module Features
Click on this box to inhibit or uninhibit the module
You can inhibit your module on the Connection tab in RSLogix 5000, as shown in the example.
The following table lists features on the module that cannot be configured.
This feature: is described on:
Module Fault Reporting 52 Fully Software Configurable 52 Producer/Consumer Model 53 Status Indicator Information 53
Module Fault Reporting
Your module provides both a hardware and software indication when a module fault occurs. The module’s status indicators and RSLogix 5000 display each fault and include a fault message describing the nature of the fault.
This feature allows you to determine how the fault affects your module and what action you should take to resume normal operation. For more information on how to use hardware and software indicators when a module fault occurs, see Interpret Status Indicators on page 69 Module on page 69.
and Troubleshoot the
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
Fully Software Configurable
RSLogix 5000 uses a custom, easily understood interface to write configuration. All module features are enabled or disabled through the I/O configuration portion of the software.
Module Features 53
You can also use the software to interrogate your module to retrieve:
serial number
revision information
product code
vendor identification
error/fault information
diagnostic counters.
By eliminating such tasks as setting hardware switches and jumpers, the software makes module configuration easier and more reliable.
Producer/Consumer Model
By using the Producer/Consumer model, modules can produce data without having been polled by a controller first. The module produces the data and the owner-controller device consumes it.

Chapter Summary and What’s Next

The module can be configured to timestamp two transitions per input, one in each direction (OFF to ON and ON to OFF).
When specific points that are Timestamp Capture-enabled transition (for example., input 1 is configured so that Timestamp Capture is enabled for OFF to ON transitions and the input turns ON), the module timestamps the transition with the current system time value on the network. The module produces data for the owner-controller the RPI after the input filter criteria have been met and at subsequent RPIs.

56 Using the Module

How Does the Module Store Timestamp Data?

The module is installed, wired to input devices and ready to begin operation. All inputs are configured to timestamp any transition that occurs.
At this point, timestamp data for each input is 0 because no input transitions have occurred.
Note that only 8 bits of the 64-bit timestamp are shown.
Input 1 transitions from OFF to ON.
The module timestamps the transition; the module sends the data to the owner-controller (not shown) and also stores it locally.
With each timestamped transition, the module stores data for that point. An overview of how the module stores timestamp data is shown in the following figure.

Input 2 transitions from ON to OFF.
The module timestamps the transition; the module sends the data to the owner-controller (not shown) and also stores it locally.
Note that the module continues to store the timestamp for the OFF to ON transition on input 1.
Generally the following occurs:
1. The module timestamps each transition for inputs that are Timestamp
Capture-enabled. The module can timestamp each transition with a unique system time.
2. The module sends all of its input data, including the new data from the
most recent transition, to the controller the RPI after timestamping the transition and passing the input filter to make sure the transition was valid.

3. You copy new data from the controller tags to a separate data structure for later sorting.
4. Acknowledge the timestamp, using output tags, so that the module can capture another timestamp on that input without losing any data.
5. Once the data is copied to a separate data structure, you may sort the data in the controller to determine the order of events.
Some of these typical events are described in greater detail in the rest of this chapter. For typical applications for Sequence of Events modules, refer to High Performance Sequence of Events Applications in the Logix Architecture on page 9
.
Using Timestamp Latching
When enabled, Timestamp Latching prevents the module from overwriting recorded timestamp data once a transition occurs. This feature is set on a modulewide basis and is enabled by default. The following table describes how Timestamp Latching affects the module.
If Timestamp Latching is:
Enabled The module timestamps two transitions for each input–one for OFF to ON
Disabled The module timestamps each transition for each input as it occurs. In this
(1)
This table assumes the transition occurs on inputs that have Timestamp Capture enabled. If Timestamp Capture is disabled, the module does not timestamp transitions on that input and, therefore, Timestamp Latching does not affect module behavior.
the following occurs
and one for ON to OFF. If similar transitions occur on inputs where a transition has already been timestamped and the data was not yet acknowledged (for more information on Acknowledge Timestamp Latching Timestamp Data, see page 64 the new transition.
When transitions occur that the module does not timestamp, the module sets the I.EventOverflow tag for that point to inform the controller that an input transitioned but a timestamp was not produced for the transition.
By default, Timestamp Latching is enabled.
case, when multiple transitions occur in the same direction on the same input, the module records the new timestamp data, overwriting any previously-recorded data which had yet to be acknowledged (for more information on Acknowledge Timestamp Latching Timestamp Data, see
page 64
).
When the module overwrites data, it sets the I.EventOverflow tag for that point to inform the controller that events have been overwritten.

IMPORTANT
We suggest you monitor the I.EventOverflow bits to make sure you are aware of when transitions were either not timestamped or when timestamp data was overwritten.
Use the Configuration tab in RSLogix 5000 to enable Timestamp Latching, as shown in the example.
Using Timestamp Capture
Timestamp Capture causes the module to timestamp specific input transitions (Off to On and On to Off). However, keep the following in mind when using this feature:
Typically, Timestamp Latching is enabled. The configuration of this feature (described on page 57 first transition on an input until the timestamp is acknowledged, or every transition on an input while overwriting timestamps that have not yet been acknowledged.
If Timestamp Capture is enabled, the module timestamps only the enabled transitions (OFF to ON and ON to OFF) for each input.
Whenever an input transition is timestamped as a valid transition, the module sends updated input data for all inputs to the controller at the next RPI and at every subsequent RPI.
Use the Configuration tab in RSLogix 5000 to set Timestamp Capture, as shown in the example below.

60 Using the Module

Manage the Data

The module sends all of its input data to the controller the next RPI after an input transition has been timestamped and at each subsequent RPI. You must manage the data coming from the module.
The following occurs in the process of the managing data coming from the module:
1. The module sends data to the controller.
2. The controller copies the relevant portions of the input data to separate
array.
3. At the user’s discretion, the controller clears latched timestamp data from the module via the O.EventAck and O.NewData tags, preparing the module to timestamp the next transition.
This process is described in the rest of this section.
Module Sends Data to the Controller
The following figure shows an example of the module sending data to the controller. In the example, the following occurs:
1. Input 1 transitions
from OFF to ON.
1. Input 1 transitions from OFF to ON. (The input has Timestamp Capture enabled).
2. The module timestamps the transition.
3. The module sends its input data, including the transition timestamp
from input 1, to the controller.

Using the Module 61
The following table describes the data that is sent for each input. These tags are sent to the controller the next RPI after the module timestamps a transition on any input as well as all other RPIs. For detailed descriptions of the tags, refer to Appendix B
.
Tag Name Set on a Per Point or
Modulewide Basis
I.Fault Modulewide Indicates if a communication fault has occurred.
I.Data Per point Status of the input point. This data is filtered if the Input Filter feature is used on the
I.OpenWire Per input connector 0 = no fault
I.ShortCircuit Per input connector 0 = no fault
I.NewData Per point Flag indicating if new timestamp data was detected on the input.
Description
0 = no fault 1 = fault – Communication fault - The controller sets this tag to 1 for all 32 bits if a communication fault occurs on the module.
This tag clears when the fault that causes the condition no longer exists.
module. Thus, an input change must pass through the filter before it is seen in this tag.
0 = input is OFF 1 = input is ON
For example, if input 3 is ON, I.Data.3 = 1.
1 = Open Wire
For more information on Open Wire Detection, see page 45
1 = Short Circuit
For more information on Short Circuit Protection, see page 45
.
.
0 = no new timestamp data on the input 1 = new timestamp data on the input (since last acknowledged)
Because input data for all inputs is sent the RPI after each timestamped transition and at each subsequent RPI, this tag is useful to quickly determine on which input the transition occurred. For example, if the module sends new input data to the owner-controller and I.NewData.5 = 1, you know that at least one of the timestamps for input 5 (I.Timestamp[5].OffOn or I.Timestamp[5].OnOff) has new data.
This tag only clears when the controller acknowledges the new data or all events on the module are reset. For more information on clearing timestamp data, see page 67
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
.
62 Using the Module
Tag Name Set on a Per Point or
Description
Modulewide Basis
I.EventOverflow Per point Set for an input when the module either:
Does not timestamp a transition on the input – The module has Timestamp
Latching enabled and a similar transition has already been timestamped on this input but has not been cleared via the O.EventAck and O.NewDataAck output tags (see page 82
).
or
Overwrites previously-recorded timestamp data for the input – The module
has Timestamp Latching disabled and multiple transitions occur on the input. In this case, timestamp data from new transitions are recorded before previously-recorded transitions were cleared from the input via the O.EventAck and O.NewDataAck output tags (see page 82
).
This tag only clears when the controller acknowledges the new data or all events on the module are reset. For more information on clearing timestamp data, see page 64
I.EventNumber.x Modulewide Running count of the timestamped transitions; this tag increments by one with each
new transition that the module timestamps.
This value is cleared if the power is cycled and rolls over 1 instead of 0.
I.LocalClockOffset Modulewide The offset from the local clock to the system time. This value is useful for detecting
steps in time.
.
This value updates when a PTP update is received.
I.OffsetTimeStamp Modulewide The time when the PTP message was received to cause the Local Clock Offset to
update.
This value is initially zero. The first timestamp occurs when the module synchronizes
with the Grandmaster clock. I.GrandMasterClockID Modulewide The I.D. number of the Grandmaster clock that the module is synchronized to. I.Timestamp[16].OffOn[2] Per point Timestamp value for an input’s OFF to ON transition. This tag is a 16 x 2 32-bit array.
There is a 64-bit timestamp per point.
This value is cleared after the data has been acknowledged via the O.EventAck and
O.NewData tags. For more information on clearing timestamp data, see page 64
.
I.Timestamp[16].OnOff[2] Per point Timestamp value for an input’s ON to OFF transition. This tag is a 16 x 2 32-bit array.
There is a 64-bit timestamp per point.
This value is cleared after the data has been acknowledged via the O.EventAck and
O.NewData tags. For more information on clearing timestamp data, see page 64
.
I.SyncedToMaster Modulewide Indicates if the module is synchronized with a master clock.
1 = Synchronized
0 = Not synchronized

Using the Module 63
Copy Relevant Input Data to a Separate Data Structure
When the module sends input data to the controller, the data is stored in the controller tags. We recommend you use a COP or CPS instruction to programmatically copy new timestamp data from the controller tags to a separate array in the controller’s memory. Later, you can combine timestamp data from multiple modules and use a Sort routine to determine the order of events, with relative time reference, that occurred in a specific time period.
1. Input 1 transitions
from OFF to ON.
IMPORTANT
When you copy relevant timestamp data from the controller tags to a separate data structure, make sure you copy enough information for each timestamp that you can differentiate between timestamps for different inputs.
The following figure shows when to use the COP instruction. In this example, the module timestamped a transition on input 1 and is sending input data to the controller at each RPI. The controller copies input data from the controller tags to a separate data structure.

Separate array
Your application determines what input data should be copied from the controller tags to a separate data structure. Although you can copy all the input data to another array, typically, only the data from specific tags is copied.
The following figure shows an example of ladder logic in which the controller only moves OFF to ON timestamp data for inputs 0…3 from the controller tags to a separate data structure named myarray. The data in the myarray
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
64 Using the Module
structure is then moved to another array used to sort the data. In this example, 32 bits of each 64-bit timestamp are moved to the new array.
Acknowledge Timestamp Latching Timestamp Data
In most cases, Timestamp Latching is enabled. This means that once the module timestamps an input transition, the module will not timestamp another transition in the same direction on the same input until you acknowledge the data from the first timestamped transition; when you acknowledge data, you clear it from the module.
To clear data from the module, you must acknowledge them via the module’s output tags. You can clear data in the following ways:
Clear latched timestamp data for specific inputs – As data is
acknowledged, it is cleared from the module, and the module will once again timestamp the first new transition for the input in the cleared direction(s).
To clear timestamp data for specific inputs, you must complete the following steps:
a. Write to the EventAck output tag (
which edge you will clear (acknowledge).
0 = clear only the falling edge timestamp (I.Timestamp[x].OnOff)
1 = clear only the rising edge timestamp (I.Timestamp[x].OffOn)
2 = clear both the falling and rising edge timestamps
O.Even tAck
). This tag determines
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
Using the Module 65
b. Change the NewDataAck output tag (
O.NewDataAck.x
) to a rising edge (set the tag =1). This tag determines which inputs will be cleared (acknowledged). There are 16 bits (x = 0…15) that can be transitioned; each corresponding to an input. More than one bit can be transitioned at the same time.
If the bit = 0, change the bit to 1.
If the bit = 1, change the bit to 0, wait for at least one RPI, and
change the bit to 1.
The corresponding I.EventOverflow and I.NewData tags are also cleared.
Clear all latched data for the module – This transition erases all
timestamp data from the module, clearing data from all inputs simultaneously. Once the data is cleared, the module timestamps the first transition in each direction for each input and sends the data to the controller (assuming those inputs are configured with Timestamp Capture enabled in each direction).
To clear all data for the module, transition the O.ResetEvents tag to 1.
If the bit = 0, change the bit to 1.
If the bit = 1, change the bit to 0, wait for at least one RPI, and
change the bit to 1.
The following figure shows when to clear data from the module. In this example, the module sent input data to the controller, and the controller copied the relevant input data to a separate structure. Now, the controller must clear the data from the module.
In this example, to clear data from the module, the controller writes the following to the Sequence of Events output word:
O.EventAck = 1

If Timestamp Latch is disabled, the module sends new data, from subsequent transitions, to the controller as soon as they occur. The controller overwrites timestamp data from the last transition, regardless of whether it saved the data or not.

Sort the Data

Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
If the controller does not acknowledge the timestamp data then the NewData bits in the input tags remains set and the EventOverflow bit is set as well.
If you need to determine the order of events that occurred in a cascade, you must use a Sort routine to determine the order of events. Rockwell Automation offers a sample sort routine that you can use to determine the order of events in an event cascade.

Using the Module 67

Clear All Data From the Module’s Buffer At Once

Propagate a Signal From Input Pin to EtherNet

If necessary, you can reset the events in the module, in effect clearing all data from previously timestamped transitions. In other words, when all data is cleared from the module’s buffers, all of the module’s input tags return to 0.
To reset events in the module’s buffer, transition the O.ResetEvents tag to 1 as described below:
If the bit = 0, change the bit to 1.
If the bit = 1, change the bit to 0, wait for at least one RPI, and change
the bit to 1.
Once the data is cleared, the module begins timestamping input transitions again and storing them in its on-board buffer.
The module receives a signal at its input pin and processes it internally before sending the input and time stamp data to the controller at the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) via EtherNet.
When you operate the module, you must account for signal propagation delays that exist during internal processing. Some of these delays are inherent to the module and others are controlled by temperature and input voltage.
During processing, the following delays exist:
hardware delay – The time it takes an input signal to propagate from the
module’s input pin to its microprocessor. This time varies according to input transition type (OFF to ON/ON to OFF), input voltage and temperature.
firmware delay time – The time is takes the module to acquire a time
stamp once its microprocessor receives the input signal.
input filter delay – user-configurable number from 0…16 ms. The input
filter does not affect when the timestamp is acquired. It is acquired the "firmware delay time" after the input changes state at the module's microprocessor. The input filter simply delay's the amount of time the input must be in a certain state before input is considered valid and the timestamp data will be sent to the controller.
RPI – Once the timestamp is acquired by the microprocessor and the
input is filtered, the input and timestamp data is sent to the controller at the next RPI.

Maximum input frequency (for each input) = 250 Hz 50% duty cycle. The module can provide unique timestamps for input transitions on separate inputs as long as they occur 25 µs apart. An input that changes state less than 25 µs after another input may receive the timestamp of the first input.

Chapter Summary and What’s Next

EXAMPLE
For example, if you are turning ON a 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR module’s input at 24V DC in 25 ºC conditions, the signal propagation delay is 19 µs. If you want to calculate the actual time the signal reaches the module’s input pin, subtract 19 µs from the timestamp.
If you are turning OFF an input at 30V DC in 60 ºC conditions, the signal propagation delay is 94 µs. If you want to calculate the actual time the signal reaches the module’s input pin, subtract 94 µs from the timestamp.
The timestamps acquired are accurate to +/- 40 µs as noted earlier.
The Timestamp data being produced on EtherNet is also delayed by the input filter setting and the RPI setting.
In this chapter, you learned how to use the module. The next chapter describes interpreting the Status Indicators.

Fault and Status Reporting Between the Module and Controllers

Module Fault Word
Module Tag Names and
The 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR sends fault/status data to the owner-controller. The module maintains a Module Fault Word, the highest level of fault reporting.
The following table describes the tag that can be examined in ladder logic to indicate when a fault has occurred for your module:
Tag Description
Module Fault Word This word provides fault summary reporting. It’s tag name is Fault.
If a communication fault occurs on the module, all 32 bits in the Module
Fault Word are set to 1.
Bit 31 Bit 0
A communications fault sets all bits in the Module Fault Word.

Configuration Tags
The following table describes the configuration tags generated in RSLogix 5000 when you use your module.
Configuration Tags
Tag Name Type Description
C.FilterOffOn INT Sets the OFF to ON filter time for all 16 inputs. Times are set in μs increments of 0,
1000 (default), 2000, 4000, 8000 and 16000 μs.
0 = no filtering
For more information on Software Configurable Input Filters, see page 46
C.FilterOnOff INT Sets the ON to OFF filter time for all 16 inputs. Times are set in μs increments of 0, 1000
(default), 2000, 4000, 8000 and 16000 μs.
0 = no filtering
For more information on Software Configurable Input Filters, see page 46
C.PointXX_YYOpenWireEn BOOL XX = even numbered input 0…14
YY = odd numbered input 1…15
OpenWire is enabled or disabled per I/O connector. For example, 00_01 or 14_15
0 = Off (default) 1 = Enable Open Wire
C.LatchEvents BOOL Latches events so that an event will not be overwritten until acknowledged.
0 = SOE not latched 1 = SOE latched (default)
Latched means that a sequence of events of LO to HI and HI to LO then LO to HI will cause the first LO to HI transition to be recorded and the final LO to HI to be ignored. All subsequent transitions on that point will be ignored until acknowledged/reset. If the bit is not set, the new LO to HI will overwrite the first LO to HI event immediately, even if the controller has yet to extract that data.
C.MasterSyncEn BOOL PTP enabled bit indicates if the module is expected to sync to a master clock.
.
.
Publication 1732E-UM002A-EN-P - March 2010
0 = Synchronization indication disabled (default) 1 = Synchronization indication enabled
If not enabled (0) then the Module Status Indicators will not flash green if we are not sync'd to a master clock. Disabling the bit does not prevent the module from synchronizing to a master clock.
Module Tags 79
Configuration Tags
Tag Name Type Description
C.CaptureOffOn.x INT Enables capturing OFF to ON events on a per point basis. If disabled (0), that point will not
record timestamp data for OFF to ON input transitions.
0 = Capture disabled for OFF to ON input transitions 1 = Capture enabled (default) for OFF to ON input transitions
This option is useful if you want to avoid reporting data on the module for events in which you have no interest.
C.CaptureOnOff.x INT Enables capturing ON to OFF events on a per point basis. If disabled (0), that point will not
record timestamp data for ON to OFF input transitions.
0 = Capture disabled for ON to OFF input transitions 1 = Capture enabled (default) for ON to OFF input transitions
This option is useful if you want to avoid reporting data on the module for events in which you have no interest.

on the module. Thus, an input change must pass through the filter before it is seen in this tag.
0 = input is OFF 1 = input is ON
For example, if input 3 is ON, I.Data.3 = 1.
YY = odd numbered input 1…15
An OpenWire condition exists per I/O connector. For example, 00_01 or 14_15
0 = no fault 1 = Open Wire

Input Tags
Tag Name Type Set on Per
Description Point or Modulewide basis
I.PtXX_YYShortCircuit BOOL Per point XX = even numbered input 0…14
YY = odd numbered input 1…15
A Short Circuit condition exists per I/O connector. For example, 00_01 or 14_15
0 = no fault
1 = short circuit
For more information on Short Circuit Protection, see page 45
I.NewData INT
Per point
(1)
Flag indicating if new timestamp data was detected on the input.
0 = no new timestamp data on the input
1 = new timestamp data on the input (since last acknowledged)
Because input data for all inputs is sent the next RPI after each timestamped
transition, this tag is useful to quickly determine on which input the transition
occurred. For example, if the module sends new input data to the
owner-controller and I.NewData.5 = 1, you know that at least one of the
timestamps for input 5 (I.Timestamp[5].OffOn or I.Timestamp[5].OnOff) has new
data.
This tag only clears when the controller acknowledges the new data or all
events on the module are reset. For more information, see page 64
I.EventOverflow INT Per point Set for an input when the module either:
.
.
Does not timestamp a transition on the input – The module has
Timestamp Latch enabled and a similar transition has already been timestamped on this input but has not been cleared via the O.EventAck and O.NewDataAck output tags (see page 64).
or
Overwrites previously-recorded timestamp data for the input – The
module has Timestamp Latch disabled and multiple transitions occur on the input. In this case, timestamp data from new transitions are recorded before previously-recorded transitions were cleared from the input via the O.EventAck and O.NewDataAck output tags (see page 64
This value is cleared if the module is reset.
I.EventNumber.x DINT Modulewide Running count of the timestamped transitions; this tag increments by one with
each new transition that the module timestamps and rolls over to 1, not 0.
This value is cleared if the module is reset.
I.LocalClockOffset DINT[2] Modulewide The offset from the local clock to the system time. This value is useful for
detecting steps in time.
This value updates when a PTP update is received.

Tag Name Type Set on Per
Description Point or Modulewide basis
I.OffsetTimeStamp DINT[2] Modulewide The time when the PTP message was received to cause the Local Clock Offset
to update.
This value is initially zero. The first timestamp occurs when the module
synchronizes with the Grandmaster clock.
I.GrandMasterClockID DINT[2] Modulewide The I.D. number of the Grandmaster clock that the module is synchronized to. I.Timestamp[16].OffOn[2] DINT[2] Per point Timestamp value with an input’s OFF to ON transition. This tag is a 16 x 2 32-bit
array.
This value is cleared after the data has been acknowledged via the O.EventAck
and O.NewData tags. For more information on clearing timestamp data, see
see page 64
.
I.Timestamp[16].OnOff[2] DINT[2] Per point Timestamp value with an input’s ON to OFF transition. This tag is a 16 x 2 32-bit
array.
This value is cleared after the data has been acknowledged via the O.EventAck
and O.NewData tags. For more information on clearing timestamp data, see
page 64
.
I.SyncedToMaster BOOL Modulewide Indicates if the module is synchronized with a master clock.
1 = Synchronized
0 = Not synchronized
(1)
With the Per point tags, there is one bit per input. For example, bit 0 represents input 0, bit 7 represents input 7 and so on.

82 Module Tags
Output Tags
The following table describes the output tags generated in RSLogix 5000.
Output Tags
Tag Name Type Description
O.EventAck DINT For the bits selected in the O.NewDataAck tag, this tag selects which edge to acknowledge,
On to Off, Off to On or both.
0 = acknowledging an ON to OFF event 1 = acknowledging an OFF to ON event 2 = acknowledging both ON to OFF and OFF to ON events
The O.NewDataAck tag must also be used to acknowledge the event(s).
O.NewDataAck.x INT Allows I.NewData bits and I.Timestamp data updates in the Input tag to function as
intended. I.NewData bits are set and I.Timestamp data updates when a transition occurs and clear only after they are acknowledged via the O.NewDataAck bit. Typically, the following events occur:
An event occurs on an input.
The module sets the I.NewData bit and I.Timestamp data for the input where the
event occurred.
The controller records the new data.
The controller acknowledges the new data by causing a 0 to 1 transition on the
corresponding O.NewDataAck bit.
The I.NewData bit and I.Timestamp data clears.
When another event occurs on the input, the sequence begins at the top bullet in
this list.
The controller must cause a 0 to 1 transition in this bit to acknowledge new data for an input; in other words, if the NewDataAck bit is 0 when new data is received, the controller must change this bit to 1 to acknowledge the data. If NewDataAck bit is 1 when new data is received, the controller must change this bit to 0 and then at least one RPI later to 1 to
acknowledge the new data. O.PointToRetrieve SINT Not used in this mode. O.ResetEvents BOOL Erases all recorded events when transitioned from 0 to 1. O.RetrieveByPoint BOOL Not used in this mode.

Enable IN OW x = Enable Input Open Wire x 1 = Enable; 0 = Off
LatchEvents: When set, latches events which means that an event will not be overwritten until acknowledged. For example, this means that an input’s sequence of events of Off, On, Off, On will cause the first Off to On transition to be recorded, and the final Off to On transition to be ignored. All subsequent transitions on that point will be ignored until acknowledged/reset. If the bit is not set, the new Off to On transition will overwrite the first Off to On transition event immediately, even if the controller has yet to extract that data.
MasterSyncEnable: This is a PTP enable bit which will indicate if the module is expected to sync to a master clock. If not enabled (0), then the module Status Indicator does not flash green if it is not synchronized to a master clock. Disabling the bit does not prevent the module from synchronizing to a master clock.
CaptureOffOn: Enables capturing Off to On events on a per point basis. If cleared, that point will not record Off to On events. This is useful for not reporting events that are not necessary.
CaptureOnOff: Enables capturing On to Off events on a per point basis. If cleared, that point will not record On to Off events. This is useful for not reporting events that are not necessary.

ArmorBlock Module and Ethernet Communication

ArmorBlock module and PC Connections to the Ethernet Network

Ethernet is a local area network that provides communication between various devices at 10 or 100 Mbps. The physical communication media options for the ArmorBlock module are:
See the following page for more information on Ethernet physical media.
The ArmorBlock module utilizes 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX media. Connections are made directly from the ArmorBlock module to an Ethernet hub or switch. Since the ArmorBlock module incorporates embedded switch technology, it can also be connected to other modules in a Star, Tree, Daisy Chain or Linear, and Ring network topologies. The network setup is simple and cost effective. Typical network topology is pictured below.

to PC Ethernet Card to ArmorBlock module
IMPORTANT
The ArmorBlock module contains two 10/100Base-T,
RJ45 cable with D-coded M12 connector
M12-D (4-pin) Ethernet connectors which connect to standard Ethernet hubs or switches via RJ-45 (8-pin) twisted-pair straight-through cable. It can also connect to another ArmorBlock module via a four wire twisted pair straight-through or cross-over cable. To access other Ethernet mediums, use 10/100Base-T media converters or Ethernet hubs or switches that can be connected together via fiber, thin-wire, or thick-wire coaxial cables, or any other physical media commercially available with Ethernet hubs or switches.
Connecting to an Ethernet Network
The ArmorBlock module supports the following Ethernet settings:
10 Mbps half duplex or full duplex
100 Mbps half duplex or full duplex
Mode selection can be automatic, based on the IEEE 802.3 auto negotiation
protocol. In most cases, using the auto negotiation function results in proper
operation between a switch port and the ArmorBlock module.
With RSLogix5000 programming software version 17 or later, you can
manually set the communication rate and duplex mode of an Ethernet port
you have connected to the switch port. The settings of the Ethernet port and
the switch port must match.
Cables
Shielded and non-shielded twisted-pair 10/100Base-T cables with D-coded
M12 connectors are supported. The maximum cable length (without repeaters
or fiber) is 100 m (323 ft). However, in an industrial application, cable length
should be kept to a minimum.

TCP/IP is the mechanism used to transport Ethernet messages. On top of TCP, the Ethernet/IP protocol is required to establish sessions and to send MSG commands. Connections can be initiated by either a client program (RSLinx application) or a processor.
The client program or processor must first establish a connection to the ArmorBlock module to enable the ArmorBlock module to receive solicited messages from a client program or processor.
In order to exchange I/O data with another device on Ethernet, that device must first originate a connection with the ArmorBlock via TCP/IP. Once an IO connection is established via TCP/IP the IO data is exchanged via UDP/IP.
The ArmorBlock module firmware supports duplicate IP address detection.
When you change the IP address or connect one of the modules to an EtherNet/IP network, the module checks to make sure that the IP address assigned to this device does not match the address of any other network device. The module will periodically check for a duplicate IP address on the network. If the module determines that there is a conflict (another device on the network with a matching IP address), the Network Status Indicator becomes solid red.

Configure Ethernet Communications on the ArmorBlock module

To correct this conflict, the IP address of one of the modules will need to changed. If you decide to change the IP address of the ArmorBlock then, assign a unique IP address to the module then cycle power to the module.
If you decide to change the IP address of the other module, remove the device with the incorrect IP address or correct its conflict. To get the ArmorBlock out of conflict mode, cycle power to the module or disconnect its Ethernet cables and reconnect the cables. If you choose to disconnect the Ethernet cables to correct this conflict you will need to disconnect both Ethernet cables from two port Ethernet modules at the same time.
There are five ways to configure ArmorBlock module Ethernet communications.
via a DHCP request at module powerup
manually setting the configuration parameters using RSLogix 5000
software
manually setting the configuration parameters using RSLinx software
manually configuring the network settings using the embedded web

DHCP Enable When DHCP is enabled, a DHCP server automatically assigns network related parameters
to the ArmorBlock module when it logs into a TCP/IP network. There must be a DHCP server on the network capable of allocating network addresses and configuring parameters to newly attached device. When DHCP is disabled, the ArmorBlock module uses the locally configured network related parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, etc.).
Auto Negotiate and Port Setting
Configure Using
When Auto Negotiate is disabled (unchecked), the Ethernet speed/duplex is forced to either 10 Mbps/Half-duplex, 10 Mbps/Full-duplex, 100 Mbps/Half-duplex, or 100 Mbps/Full-duplex, as selected in the Port Setting field.
When Auto Negotiate is enabled (checked), the ArmorBlock module will automatically negotiate the link speed and duplex with the module it is connected to.
