EtherNet/IP™ is the most commonly used industrial communication protocol managed by Open
DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA). EtherNet/IP is an application layer protocol that is
transferred inside a TCP/IP Packet. That means that EtherNet/IP is simply the way data is organized in
a TCP or UDP packet. EtherNet/IP is part of CIP, the Common Industrial Protocol. CIP defines the
Object structure and specifies the message transfer. CIP protocol over Ethernet is EtherNet/IP.
This document describes how to enable EtherNet/IP protocol support in Smart Wireless Gateway
(Gateway). This document also explains the procedure to import Order Options, enable protocol
support, and establish various types of connections with Rockwell ControlLogix
UCMM, and Class3 connections.
The document also explains about understanding different user interface pages within the Smart
Wireless Gateway. These pages include, EtherNet/IP statistics, the communication page, and how to
map device variables in the EtherNet/IP mapping page. It is assumed that there is general knowledge
of how to establish connections using the Rockwell ControlLogix PLC. Consult the manual for the
specific PLC. This document is just aimed at users looking to incorporate data values from the Smart
Wireless Gateway. For assistance, contact your local wireless specialist.

1.3Connecting to the ControlLogix PLC
This section assumes knowledge of Allen-Bradley software. The IO Module is configured with a
valid IP address on the same subnet as the Gateway and the PC.
A basic knowledge of the Emerson Smart Wireless Gateway is required. The Gateway will need
to be configured with a valid IP address on the same subnet as the Allen-Bradley control system
and the PC.
The Emerson 1420 device uses multiple Class 1 CIP connections within a Generic Profile. The
latest version of RSLogix5000 is required for you to use this capability. This requires V19 and
higher of RSLogix5000. V20 of RSLogix5000 includes features that automatically populate
parameters such as for input/output instances for the Generic CIP Module making some of the
steps in this manual unnecessary.
Note
The PLC processor has to be taken offline to be configured, then downloaded to accept
the EtherNet/IP setup. This means the protocol can't be implemented when the process
is running.
EtherNet/IP can only be implemented on ControlLogix processor firmware revision 17
and up.
Manual Supplement
00809-0500-4420, Rev BB
EtherNet/IP will only work on the Ethernet 1 connection on the Gateway.
When mapping data, only use one input “instance” and one output “instance”. An
Allen-Bradley Ethernet card can only handle one instance per setup in the PLC.
EtherNet/IP can only be implemented on redundant ControlLogix processors starting
with firmware revision 20 and above.
See “Other information” on page 36 for limitations with explicit messaging before
proceeding.
Section 1.3.2, 1.3.4, 1.3.5 and 1.3.6 detail connecting to the ControlLogix PLC using four
separate methods, Class 1 Connections: CIP BUS Module, UCMM Connection, Class 3
Connections and Generic Gateway Module respectively. The methods are defined below. Use
only one of these methods to connect to the PLC.
Class 1 Connections (I/O): CIP BUS Module - Establishes a periodic exchange of data between a
scanner and an adapter. Messages are sent as connected messages which utilize resources
within each node that are dedicated in advance to a particular purpose. The messaging is
implicit and is time-critical in nature. Implicit messaging (or I/O) is typically used for real-time
data exchange when speed and low latency is important. They include very little information
about their meaning so its transmission is more efficient, but less flexible than explicit.
UCMM Connection (explicit messaging - unconnected) - Commands or data requests sent
from the scanner to individual target nodes (Class 3 messages). Unconnected messaging is used
during connection establishment and for infrequent, low-priority messages. The Unconnected
Message Manager, or UCMM, refers to the unconnected resources in a device. Explicit
messaging connections in general are request-response transactions between two nodes
typically used for non-real time data, normally for information. They include a description of
their meaning so the transmission is very flexible but less efficient.
8
Allen-Bradley Integration
Manual Supplement
00809-0500-4420, Rev BB
Class 3 Connection - Similar to UCMM connection Class 3 connection is used for individual
request/response transactions. A request from a scanner always results in a response from the
adapter indicating the success or failure of the request. Messaging is explicit and connected
rather than unconnected.
Generic Gateway Module - Similar to CIP BUS Module the Generic Gateway Module is
established to move application specific I/O data at regular intervals. The Generic Gateway
Module however establishes class 1 connection to a single pair at a time whereas the Ethernet
CIP BUS Method allows connection to multiple pairs.
For status and output capability, the use of the CIP Bus method is recommended. It should be
noted that the CIP Bus method does require more memory than the generic Gateway method.
These are just examples of ways to bring in the data from the network. There are many possible
configurations.
Note
For instructions on how to first establish a connection to the Gateway, see either the Quick Start
Guide (document number 00825-0200-4420) or the Smart Wireless Gateway manual
(document number 00809-0200-4420).
Before doing connections with the controller, the user should import the EDS file of the Smart
Wireless Gateway in RSLogix. Navigate to Start>Programs>Rockwell Software>Version 2.56
>RSLinx>Too l s>EDS Hardware Installation Tool. The .eds file can be obtained by contacting
Specialist-Wireless.EPM-RTC@EmersonProcess.com with Allen-Bradley EDS file in the subject line.

Manual Supplement
00809-0500-4420, Rev BB
We consider that the machine on which rslinx is
installed is in the same subnet as the Gateway. We can
explicitly add the Gateway IP address by choosing the
AB_ETH-1 driver. See attached screenshots. Also
screenshots for EDS file Installation (Allen-Bradley
Integration Document are in the user manual already.
Unable to find where to allocate the
'reliability' float and the tools for 'online,'
'PV_healthy,' etc. How do I poll them? Is it a
different class instance? (The manual only
shows dint/int/real/sint).
Are the definitions for
SYSTEM_DIAG.ADDITIONAL_STATUS shown
anywhere for the predefined registers?
Do Predefined Registers hold last state if the
instrument goes offline like the data does?
1.6Other information
1.Only 124 members are allowed for mapping per pair.
In EtherNet/IP, Each Instance Pair can hold the data up to 496 bytes, but the user can
only map a maximum of 124 members per instance pair. (Whatever may be the data
type of mapped variables, for e.g. If user wants to map all Boolean variables in particular
instance, maximum 124 Boolean variables they can map in the selected instance pair.)
Some of the hosts support maximum 1500 bytes of data. Hence presently for device
variable mapping chosen 3 instance pairs of size 496 bytes each.
Float = real, Booleans also can be mapped. You can
map any variable which you can see on Explorer>Device Name>Published data web page and read in RsLogix
with the datatype mentioned on web page.
Navigate to Explorer>Device name(e.g.wihartgw)>See Additional status tab.Let us know if you are looking for
anything else by means of definition.
It will not hold the last state like other data, It will
change according to the particular parameter status i.e
good or bad. (Whatever Additional status is seen in the
webpage, the same will appear in the RSLogix).
36
2.32-bit error value, for the Point Name which does not exist or the Point Name which is
having bad status while first time mapping.
While mapping of a particular variable for the first time, if mapped variable status is
bad/offline, EtherNet/IP will treat that variable as 32 bit (Undefined Data). So as shown
in communication page, it will show the error as 32 bit value. (Whatever may be the
actual data type of mapped variable).
3.The user can map variables/Point Names of mix data types in any instance pair.
(100-101, 102-103, 104-105) In this case it’s user’s responsibility to find a particular
mapped variable value in RSLogix Class1 I/O Connection. Here depending on different
data types (8, 16, 32 bit) user need to see mapped variable values in Class 1
Connection.

Connections.
EtherNet/IP uses producer consumer model. So on every RPI EtherNet/IP scanner
and adapter produces its own data for each other.
In Rosemount 702 write case, whenever Class 1, Class3 connection
re-establishes, scanner will produce data with all zeros so Smart Wireless
Gateway adapter will consume this data.
In case of Class 1, Class 3 connection reestablishment, the previous written data
to Rosemount 702 devices will be zero (Here only those writable variable values
become zero, which mapped to that particular instance). The user needs to
record the Rosemount 702 written data before removing the particular
connection and rewrite again.
104-105 (decimal) can be read. The mapped values from 101, 103 & 105 (in case of
explicit messaging) can be read depending on the mapping done in webpage.
Size of assembly object is 496 bytes (fixed). When you are reading DINT or REAL (float
values) which are of 4 bytes you have to read it as an array. For example, float values
from the assembly object which is 496 bytes, so the size will be 124 or 496/4. If you
want to read values as INT (2 bytes), the size will be 248, 496/2.
Note
Retaining old values vs. using “all zeros” on a new connection is “scanner specific” functionality,
there are no rules in EtherNet/IP specs about this behavior.
