About the Book

At a Glance

Document Scope This Guide describes the hardware and software features of the Advantys

STB NIP 2212, which enables an island of Advantys STB modules to function as a node on an Ethernet LAN. The Ethernet LAN on which an island resides uses Transport Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol as its transport layer. The Modbus protocol runs over the TCP/IP layer. This way, an Ethernet host device can control an island with Modbus commands. The Modbus protocol allows devices that can connect only to the RS232 port on other Advantys STB NIMs to connect to the STB NIP 2212’s fieldbus port, too. The following information appears in this guide:

the role of the standard NIM as the gateway between Ethernet TCP/IP and the Advantys STB island

the NIM’s integrated power supply and its role in the distribution of logic power across the island bus

common external interfaces:

the two-pin connector to an external SELV-rated power supply

RS-232 interface to optional devices, including the Advantys configuration software and an HMI panel

the optional removable memory card

advanced configuration features, such as island fallback scenarios

STB NIP 2212 specific features, including its global connectivity capabilities

how to configure an STB NIP 2212 with IP parameters

how to connect the STB NIP 2212 to an Ethernet network

STB NIP 2212 web-based configuration and troubleshooting features

SNMP management services

Who Should Use This Manual?

This manual is intended to support the customer who has installed the Advantys STB island bus on an Ethernet LAN and needs to understand the STB NIP 2212’s local and remote communications capabilities. This manual assumes familiarity with the Modbus protocol.

Introduction

What Is a Network Interface Module?

Purpose Every island requires a network interface module (NIM) in the leftmost location of the

primary segment. Physically, the NIM is the first (leftmost) module on the island bus. Functionally, it is the gateway to the island bus—all communications to and from the island bus pass through the NIM. The NIM also has an integrated power supply that provides logic power to the island modules.

The Fieldbus Network

Communications Roles

An island bus is a node of distributed I/O on an open fieldbus network, and the NIM is the island’s interface to that network. The NIM supports data transfers over the fieldbus network between the island and the fieldbus master. The physical design of the NIM makes it compatible with both an Advantys STB island and your specific fieldbus master. Whereas the fieldbus connector on each NIM type may differ, the location on the module front panel is essentially the same. Other NIM connectors, such as the power supply interface and the CFG interface (See The CFG Interface, p. 33), are identical for all NIM types.

Communications capabilities provided on a standard NM include:

Function Role

data exchange The NIM manages the exchange of input and output data

between the island and the fieldbus master. Input data, stored in native island bus format, is converted to a fieldbus-specific format that can be read by the fieldbus master. Output data written to the NIM by the master is sent across the island bus to update the output modules and is automatically reformatted.

configuration services Custom services can be performed by the Advantys

configuration software. These services include changing the operating parameters of the I/O modules, fine-tuning island bus performance, and configuring reflex actions. The Advantys configuration software runs on a computer attached to the NIM’s CFG port.

human-machine interface (HMI) operations

An HMI panel can be configured as an input and/or output device on the island bus. As an input device, it can write data that can be received by the fieldbus master; as an output device, it can receive updated data from the fieldbus master. The HMI can also monitor island status, data, and diagnostic information. The HMI panel must be attached to the NIM’s CFG port.

Introduction

Integrated Power Supply

The NIM’s built-in 24-to-5 VDC power supply provides logic power to the I/O modules on the primary segment of the island bus. The power supply requires a 24 VDC external power source. It converts the 24 VDC to 5 V of logic power, providing 1.2 A of current to the island. Individual STB I/O modules in an island segment generally draw a current load of between 50 and 90 mA. (Consult the Advantys STB Hardware Components Reference Guide [890 USE 172] for a particular module’s specifications.) If the current drawn by the I/O modules totals more than 1.2 A, additional STB power supplies need to be installed to support the load. The NIM delivers the logic power signal to the primary segment only. Special STB XBE 1200 beginning-of-segment (BOS) modules, located in the first slot of each extension segment, have their own built-in power supplies, which will provide logic power to the STB I/O modules in the extension segments. Each BOS module that you install requires 24 VDC from an external power supply.

Introduction

What Is Advantys STB?

Introduction Advantys STB is an assembly of distributed I/O, power, and other modules that

function together as an island node on an open fieldbus network. Advantys STB delivers a highly modular and versatile slice I/O solution for the manufacturing industry, with a migration path to the process industry. Advantys STB lets you design an island of distributed I/O where the I/O modules can be installed as close as possible to the mechanical field devices that they control. This integrated concept is known as mechatronics.

Island Bus I/O An Advantys STB island can support as many as 32 I/O modules. These modules

may be Advantys STB I/O modules, preferred modules, and standard CANopen devices.

The Primary Segment

STB I/O modules on an island may be interconnected in groups called segments. Every island has at least one segment, called the primary segment—it is always the first segment on the island bus. The NIM is the first module in the primary segment. The primary segment must contain at least one Advantys STB I/O module and can support an I/O load of up to 1.2 A. The segment also contains one or more power distribution modules (PDMs), which distribute field power to the I/O modules.

Introduction

Extension Segments

When you are using a standard NIM, Advantys STB I/O modules that do not reside in the primary segment can be installed in extension segments. Extension segments are optional segments that enable an island to be a truly distributed I/O system. The island bus can support as many as six extension segments. Special extension modules and extension cables are used to connect segments in a series. The extension modules are:

the STB XBE 1000 EOS module, which is the last module in a segment if the island bus is extended

the STB XBE 1200 BOS module, which is the first module in an extension

segment The BOS module has a built-in 24-to-5 VDC power supply similar to the NIM. The BOS power supply also provides 1.2 A of logic power to the STB I/O modules in an extension segment. Extension modules are connected by lengths of STB XCA 100x cable that extend the island communication bus from the previous segment to the next BOS module:

Bus extension cables are available in various lengths, ranging from 0.3 m (1 ft) to

14.0m (45.9ft).

Introduction

Preferred Modules

An island bus can also support those auto-addressable modules referred to as preferred modules. Preferred modules do not mount in segments, but they do count as part of the 32-module maximum system limit.

Note: If you want to include preferred modules in your island, you need to configure the island using the Advantys configuration software.

A preferred module can connect to an island bus segment via an STB XBE 1000 EOS module and a length of STB XCA 100x bus extension cable. Each preferred module has two IEEE 1394-style cable connectors, one to receive the island bus signals and the other to transmit them to the next module in the series. Preferred modules are also equipped with termination, which must be enabled if a preferred module is the last device on the island bus and must be disabled if other modules follow the preferred device on the island bus. Preferred modules can be chained to one another in a series, or they can connect to Advantys STB segments. As shown in the following figure, a preferred module passes the island bus communications signal from the primary segment to an extension segment of Advantys STB I/O modules:

Introduction

Standard CANopen Devices

You may also install one or more standard CANopen devices on an island. These devices are not auto-addressable, and they must be installed at the end of the island bus. If you want to install standard CANopen devices on an island, you need to use an STB XBE 2100 CANopen extension module as the last module in the last segment.

Note: If you want to include standard CANopen devices in your island, you need to configure the island using the Advantys configuration software, and you need to configure the island to operate at 500 kbaud.

Because standard CANopen devices cannot be auto-addressed on the island bus, they must be addressed using physical addressing mechanisms on the devices. The standard CANopen devices together with the CANopen extension module form a sub -network on the island bus that needs to be separately terminated at the beginning and end. A terminator resistor is included in the STB XBE 2100 CANopen extension module for one end of the extension sub-network; the last device on the CANopen extension must also be terminated with 120 Ω. The rest of the island bus needs to be terminated after the CANopen extension module with an STB XMP 1100 termination plate:

7 standard CANopen device with 120 Ω termination

Length of the Island Bus

The maximum length of an island bus—the maximum distance between the NIM and the last device on the island—is 15 m (49.2 ft). This length must take into account the extension cables between segments, extension cables between preferred modules, and the space consumed by the devices themselves.

Introduction

STB NIP 2212 Product Overview

Introduction An Advantys STB island bus configured with an STB NIP 2212 standard NIM can

function transparently as a node on an Ethernet local area network (LAN), or on the Internet. It can function, indirectly, as a node on a wide area network (WAN). The STB NIP 2212 can be a slave device to an Ethernet host manager.

Ethernet and Internet Connectivity

TCP/IP is the transport layer for the Ethernet LAN on which the STB NIP 2212 Advantys STB island resides. This network architecture enables communications with a wide range of Ethernet TCP/IP control products, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), industrial computers, motion controllers, host computers, and operator control stations. The STB NIP 2212 NIM has a Transparent Ready implementation classification of B20.

Embedded Web Server

The STB NIP 2212 includes an embedded web server (See STB NIP 2212 Web Server, p. 65), which is a web browser-enabled application. It allows authorized

users worldwide to view configuration and diagnostic data for the STB NIP 2212 (See Web Access Password Protection, p. 86). (Users with additional authorization (See Configuration Password Protection, p. 89) can write data to the STB NIP 2212.)

Internet Applications

The STB NIP 2212 is configured for the following Internet applications:

HTTP embedded web server –Port 80 service access point (SAP) –browser based IP configuration and troubleshooting

SNMP—allows remote network management of the STB NIP 2212 –Port 161 SAP –enables remote network management (NMT) of the STB NIP 2212

Open Modbus An open implementation of the proprietary Modbus protocol runs over TCP/IP on the

Ethernet LAN on which the STB NIP 2212 resides. The fieldbus (Ethernet) port (See STB NIP 2212 Network Interface, p. 26) on the STB NIP 2212 is configured for Port 502 SAP functionality. Port 502 is the well-known port for Modbus over TCP that was assigned to Schneider Electric by the Internet Authority (IANA).

Introduction

Conformance to NIM Standards

The STB NIP 2212 is designed to support all of the standard Advantys STB NIM features and functions (See What Is a Network Interface Module?, p. 12). Because an STB NIP 2212 runs Modbus as its fieldbus protocol, a device running the Advantys configuration software or a human-machine interface (HMI) can attach to either its fieldbus (Ethernet) port) (See STB NIP 2212 Network Interface, p. 26) or its CFG port (See The CFG Interface, p. 33).

Ethernet Host PLCs and personal computers (PCs) configured with the Modbus protocol are

suitable upstream Ethernet hosts to islands using the STB NIP 2212 as their gateway. The Ethernet host can be local or remote.

Introduction

Ethernet Communications and Connectivity

Introduction The STB NIP 2212 allows the Advantys STB island to function as a node on an

Ethernet local area network (LAN). Ethernet is an open local (communications) network that enables the interconnectivity of all levels of manufacturing operations from the plant’s office to the sensors and actuators on its floor.

Conformance The STB NIP 2212 is located on a 10Base-T LAN. The 10Base-T standard is

defined by the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specification. Contention for 10Base-T networks is resolved by using Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detect (CSMA/ CD).

Transmission Rate

An STB NIP 2212 island node resides on a baseband network with a transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s.

Frame Format The STB NIP 2212 supports both Ethernet II and IEEE 802.3 frame formats;

Ethernet II is the default frame type.

Modbus over TCP/IP Connection

The STB NIP 2212 limits the number of Modbus client connections to 32. If a request for a new connection is received and the number of existing connections is at the limit, the oldest unused connection is closed.

STB NIP 2212 Network Interface

Introduction The fieldbus interface on the STB NIP 2212 is the point of connection between an

Advantys STB island and the Ethernet LAN on which the island resides. This fieldbus interface is also called the Ethernet port. The fieldbus interface is a 10Base-T port with an RJ-45 female connector. Category 5 (CAT5) twisted pair electrical wiring, either shielded or unshielded (STP/UTP), is used to connect the STB NIP 2212 to the Ethernet baseband.

Note: Because the Ethernet port is configured for Modbus over TCP/IP services (SAP 502), the Advantys configuration software can run over the fieldbus interface on the STB NIP 2212.

Fieldbus (Ethernet) Port

The interface for 10Base-T connections is located on the front of the STB NIP 2212 NIM toward the top:

eight-pin connector

The RJ-45 connector is an eight-pin female connector. The eight pins connect horizontally along the top. Pin 8 has the leftmost position, and pin 1 is the rightmost. The pin-out for the RJ-45 complies with the information in the following table:

Rotary Switches

Introduction The STB NIP 2212 is a single node on an Ethernet LAN and, in turn, the Internet.

An STB NIP 2212 must have a unique IP address. The two rotary switches on the NIM provide a simple, easy way to assign an IP address to the STB NIP 2212.

Physical Description

The two rotary switches are positioned one above the other on the front of the STB NIP 2212. The upper switch represents the tens digit, and the lower switch represents the ones digit:

890USE17700 April 2004

Page 29

The STB NIP 2212 NIM

Summary of Valid IP Address Settings

Each rotary switch position that you can use to set a valid IP address is marked on the STB NIP 2212 housing (See Physical Description, p. 28). The following information summarizes the valid address settings:

For a switch-set role name, select a numeric value from 00 to 159. You can use both switches:

On the upper switch (tens digit), the available settings are 0 to 15.

On the lower switch (ones digit), the available settings are 0 to 9. The numeric setting is appended to the STB NIP 2212 part number, e.g., STBNIP2212_123, and a DHCP server assigns it an IP address.

For a BootP-served IP address (See Server-Assigned IP Addresses, p. 62), select either of the two BOOTP positions on the bottom switch.

If you set the bottom switch to either of the two INTERNAL positions, the IP address will be assigned by one of the following methods:

if the STB NIP 2212 is direct from the factory, it has no software set

IP parameters and will use a MAC-based IP address (See Deriving an

IP Address from a Media Access Control (MAC) Address, p. 61).

a fixed IP address using the STB NIP 2212 web configuration pages (See

Web-Based Configuration Options, p. 71)

a web-configured role name (See Configuring a Role Name, p. 82) in

association with a DHCP server

Note: For information about how the STB NIP 2212 prioritizes IP addressing options, refer to the IP parameterization flow chart (See Determining the IP Address, p. 63).

Note: The STB NIP 2212 requires a valid IP address to communicate on the Ethernet network and with a host. You must power cycle the STB NIP 2212 to configure the STB NIP 2212 with an IP address set with these rotary switches.

The CFG Interface

Purpose The CFG port is the connection point to the island bus for either a computer running

the Advantys configuration software or an HMI panel.

Physical Description

The CFG interface is a front-accessible RS-232 interface located behind a hinged flap on the bottom front of the NIM:

The port uses a male eight-pin HE-13 connector.

Port Parameters The CFG port supports the set of communication parameters listed in the following

table. If you want to apply any settings other than the factory default values, you must use the Advantys configuration software:

Parameter Valid Values Factory Default Settings

bit rate (baud) 2400 / 4800 / 9600 / 19200 /

38400/ 57600

data bits 7/8 8

stop bits 1/2 1

parity none/odd/even even

Modbus communications mode RTU/ASCII RTU

9600

Note: To restore all of the CFG port’s communication parameters to their factory default settings, push the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) on the NIM. Be aware, however, that this action will overwrite all of the island’s current configuration values with factory default values. You can also password protect a configuration, thereby putting the island in protected mode (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 164). If you do this, however, the RST button will be disabled and you will not be able to use it to reset the port parameters.

The Power Supply Interface

Introduction The NIM’s built-in power supply requires 24 VDC from an external SELV-rated

power source. The connection between the 24 VDC source and the island is the male two-pin connector illustrated below.

Physical Description

Power from the external 24 VDC supply comes in to the NIM via a two-pin connector located at the bottom left of the module:

1 connector 1–24 VDC

2 connector 2–common voltage

890USE17700 April 2004 35

Page 36

The STB NIP 2212 NIM

Connectors Use either:

a screw type power connector, available in a kit of 10 (model STB XTS 1120)

a spring clamp power connector, available in a kit of 10 (model STB XTS 2120) The following illustrations show two views of each power connector type. A front and back view of the STB XTS 1120 screw type connector is shown on the left, and a front and back view of the STB XTS 2120 spring clamp connector is shown on the right:

The STB NIP 2212 NIM

Logic Power

Introduction Logic power is a 5 VDC power signal on the island bus that the I/O modules require

for internal processing. The NIM has a built-in power supply that provides logic power. The NIM sends the 5 V logic power signal across the island bus to support the modules in the primary segment.

External Source Power

Input from an external 24 VDC power supply (See Characteristics of the External Power Supply, p. 39) is needed as the source power for the NIM’s built-in power

supply. The NIM’s built-in power supply converts the incoming 24 V to 5 V of logic power. The external supply must be rated safety extra low voltage (SELV-rated).

CAUTION

IMPROPER GALVANIC ISOLATION

The power components are not galvanically isolated. They are intended for use only in systems designed to provide SELV isolation between the supply inputs or outputs and the load devices or system power bus. You must use SELV-rated supplies to provide 24 VDC source power to the NIM.

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

890USE17700 April 2004 37

Logic Power Flow

The figure below shows how the NIM’s integrated power supply generates logic power and sends it across the primary segment:

The figure below shows how the 24 VDC signal is distributed to an extension segment across the island:

24 V

24 VDC

24 V

The logic power signal is terminated in the STB XBE 1000 module at the end of the segment (EOS).

Island Bus Loads The built-in power supply produces 1.2 A of current for the island bus. Individual

STB I/O modules generally draw a current load of between 50 and 90 mA. (Consult the Advantys STB Hardware Components Reference Guide (890 USE 172 00) for a particular module’s specifications.) If the current drawn by the I/O modules totals more than 1.2 A, additional STB power supplies need to be installed to support the load.

The STB NIP 2212 NIM

Selecting a Source Power Supply for the Island’s Logic Power Bus

Logic Power Requirements

Characteristics of the External Power Supply

An external 24 VDC power supply is needed as the source for logic power to the island bus. The external power supply connects to the island’s NIM. This external supply provides the 24 V input to the built-in 5 V power supply in the NIM. The NIM delivers the logic power signal to the primary segment only. Special STB XBE 1200 beginning-of-segment (BOS) modules, located in the first slot of each extension segment, have their own built-in power supplies, which will provide logic power to the STB I/O modules in the extension segments. Each BOS module that you install requires 24 VDC from an external power supply.

The external power supply needs to deliver 24 VDC source power to the island. The supply that you select can have a low range limit of 19.2 VDC and a high range limit of 30 VDC. The external supply must be rated safety extra low voltage (SELV-rated). The SELV-rating means that SELV isolation is provided between the power supply’s inputs and outputs, the power bus, and the devices connected to the island bus. Under normal or single-fault conditions the voltage between any two accessible parts, or between an accessible part and the protective earth (PE) terminal for Class 1 equipment, will not exceed a safe value (60 VDC max.).

CAUTION

IMPROPER GALVANIC ISOLATION

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

890USE17700 April 2004 39

Page 40

The STB NIP 2212 NIM

Calculating the Wattage Requirement

The amount of power (See Logic Power Flow, p. 38) that the external power supply must deliver is a function of the number of modules and the number of built-in power supplies installed on the island. The external supply needs to provide 13 W of power for the NIM and 13 W for each additional STB power supply (like an STB XBE 1200 BOS module). For example, a system with one NIM in the primary segment and one BOS module in an extension segment would require 26 W of power. For example, the figure below shows an extended island:

1 24 VDC source power supply

2 NIM

3 PDM

4 primary segment I/O modules

5 BOS module

6 first extension segment I/O modules

7 second extension segment I/O modules

8 island bus terminator plate

890USE17700 April 2004

Page 41

The STB NIP 2212 NIM

The extended island bus contains three built-in power supplies:

the supply built into the NIM, which resides in the leftmost location of the primary segment

a power supply built into each of the STB XBE 1200 BOS extension modules,

which reside in the leftmost location of the two extension segments In the figure, the external supply would provide 13 W of power for the NIM plus 13 W for each of the two BOS modules in the extension segments (for a total of 39 W).

Note: If the 24 VDC source power supply also supplies field voltage to a power distribution module (PDM), you must add the field load to your wattage calculation. For 24 VDC loads, the calculation is simply amps x volts = watts.

Suggested Devices

The external power supply is generally enclosed in the same cabinet as the island. Usually the external power supply is a DIN rail-mountable unit. For installations that require 72 W or less from a 24 VDC source power supply, we recommend a device such as the ABL7 RE2403 Phaseo power supply from Telemecanique, distributed in the United States by Square D. This supply is DIN railmountable and has a form factor similar to that of the island modules. If you have room in your cabinet and your 24 VDC power requirements are greater than 72 W, summable power supply options such as Schneider’s Premium TSX SUP 1011 (26 W), TSX SUP 1021 (53 W), TSX SUP 1051 (120 W), or TSX SUP 1101 (240 W) can be considered. These modules are also available from Telemecanique and, in the United States, from Square D.

Configuring the Island Bus

At a Glance

Introduction The information in this chapter describes the auto-addressing and auto-

configuration processes. An Advantys STB system has an auto-configuration capability in which the current, actual assembly of I/O modules on the island bus is read every time that the island bus is either powered up or reset. This configuration data is saved to Flash memory automatically. The removable memory card is discussed in this chapter. The card is an Advantys STB option for storing configuration data offline. Factory default settings can be restored to the island bus I/O modules and the CFG port by engaging the RST button. The NIM is the physical and logical location of all island bus configuration data and functionality.

Auto-Addressing

Introduction Each time that the island is powered up or reset, the NIM automatically assigns a

unique island bus address to each module on the island that will engage in data exchange. All Advantys STB I/O modules and preferred devices engage in data exchange and require island bus addresses.

About the Island Bus Address

Addressable Modules

An island bus address is a unique integer value in the range 0 through 127 that identifies the physical location of each addressable module on the island. Addresses 0, 124, 125 and 126 are reserved. Address 127 is always the NIM’s address. Addresses 1 through 123 are available for I/O modules and other island devices. During initialization, the NIM detects the order in which modules are installed and addresses them sequentially from left to right, starting with the first addressable module after the NIM. No user action is required to address these modules.

The following module types require island bus addresses:

Advantys STB I/O modules

preferred devices

standard CANopen devices Because they do not exchange data on the island bus, the following are not addressed:

bus extension modules

PDMs such as the STB PDT 3100 and STB PDT 2100

empty bases

termination plate

Configuring the Island Bus

An Example For example, if you have an island bus with eight I/O modules:

1 NIM

2 STB PDT 3100 24 VDC power distribution module

3 STB DDI 3230 24 VDC two-channel digital input module

4 STB DDO 3200 24 VDC two-channel digital output module

5 STB DDI 3420 24 VDC four-channel digital input module

6 STB DDO 3410 24 VDC four-channel digital output module

7 STB DDI 3610 24 VDC six-channel digital input module

8 STB DDO 3600 24 VDC six-channel digital output module

9 STB AVI 1270 +/-10 VDC two-channel analog input module

10 STB AVO 1250 +/-10 VDC two-channel analog output module

11 STB XMP 1100 island bus termination plate

The NIM would auto-address it as follows. Note that the PDM and the termination plate do not consume island bus addresses:

Module Physical Location Island Bus Address

NIM 1 127

STB PDT 3100 PDM 2 not addressed—does not exchange data

STB DDI 3230 input 3 1

STB DDO 3200 output 4 2

Configuring the Island Bus

Associating the Module Type with the Island Bus Location

As a result of the configuration process, the NIM automatically identifies physical locations on the island bus with specific I/O module types. This feature enables you to hot swap a failed module with a new module of the same type.

890USE17700 April 2004

Page 49

Configuring the Island Bus

Auto-Configuration

Introduction All Advantys STB I/O modules are shipped with a set of predefined parameters that

allow an island to be operational as soon as it is initialized. This ability of island modules to operate with default parameters is known as auto-configuration. Once an island bus has been installed, assembled, and successfully parameterized and configured for your fieldbus network, you can begin using it as a node on that network.

Note: A valid island configuration does not require the intervention of the optional Advantys configuration software.

About AutoConfiguration

Customizing a Configuration

Auto-configuration occurs when:

You power up an island for the first time.

You push the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55). As part of the auto-configuration process, the NIM checks each module and confirms that it has been properly connected to the island bus. The NIM stores the default operating parameters for each module in Flash memory.

You can customize the operating parameters of the I/O modules, create reflex actions, add preferred modules and/or CANopen standard devices to the island bus, and customize other island capabilities.

Installing the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card

Introduction The STB XMP 4440 removable memory card is a 32-kbyte subscriber identification

module (SIM) that lets you store (See Saving Configuration Data, p. 163), distribute, and reuse custom island bus configurations. If the island is in unprotected (edit) mode (See Protection Feature, p. 164) and a removable memory card containing a valid island bus configuration is inserted in the NIM, the configuration data on the card overwrites the configuration data in Flash memory, and is adopted when the island starts up. If the island is in protected mode, the island ignores the presence of a removable memory card. The removable memory card is an optional Advantys STB feature.

Note: Network configuration data, such as the fieldbus baud setting cannot be

saved to the card.

Physical Description

The card measures 25.1 mm (0.99 in) wide x 15 mm (0.59 in) high x 0.76 mm (0.30 in) thick. It is shipped as a punch-out on a credit-card-sized plastic card, which measures 85.6 mm (3.37 in) wide x 53.98 mm (2.13 in) high.

Note: Keep the card free of contaminants and dirt.

CAUTION

LOSS OF CONFIGURATION—MEMORY CARD DAMAGE OR CONTAMINATION

The card’s performance can be degraded by dirt or grease on its circuitry. Contamination or damage may create an invalid configuration.

Use care when handling the card.

Inspect for contamination, physical damage, and scratches before installing the card in the NIM drawer.

If the card does get dirty, clean it with a soft dry cloth.

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

Installing the Card

Use the following procedure to install the card:

Step Action

1 Punch out the removable memory card from the plastic card on which it is

shipped.

removable memory card

Make sure that the edges of the card are smooth after you punch it out.

2 Open the card drawer on the front of the NIM. If it makes it easier for you to work,

you may pull the drawer completely out from the NIM housing.

3 Align the chamfered edge (the 45° corner) of the removable memory card with

the one in the mounting slot in the card drawer. Hold the card so that the chamfer is in the upper left corner.

4 Seat the card in the mounting slot, applying slight pressure to the card until it

snaps into place. The back edge of the card must be flush with the back of the drawer.

5 Close the drawer.

Removing the Card

Use the following procedure to remove the card from the card drawer. As a handling precaution, avoid touching the circuitry on the removable memory card during its removal.

Step Action

1 Open the card drawer.

2 Push the removable memory card out of the drawer through the round opening

at the back. Use a soft but firm object like a pencil eraser.

Configuring the Island Bus

Using the STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card to Configure the Island Bus

Introduction A removable memory card is read when an island is powered on. If the configuration

data on the card is valid, the current configuration data in Flash memory is overwritten. A removable memory card can be active only if an island is in edit mode. If an island is in protected mode (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 164), the card and its data are ignored.

Configuration Scenarios

The following discussion describes several island configuration scenarios that use the removable memory card. The scenarios assume that a removable memory card is already installed in the NIM:

initial island bus configuration

replace the current configuration data in Flash memory in order to:

apply custom configuration data to your island

temporarily implement an alternative configuration; for example, to replace an island configuration used daily with one used to fulfill a special order

copying configuration data from one NIM to another, including from a failed NIM

to its replacement; the NIMs must run the same fieldbus protocol

configuring multiple islands with the same configuration data

Note: Whereas writing configuration data from the removable memory card to the NIM does not require use of the optional Advantys configuration software, you must use this software to save (write) configuration data to the removable memory card in the first place.

Edit Mode Your island bus must be in edit mode to be configured. In edit mode, the island bus

can be written to as well as monitored. Edit mode is the default operational mode for the Advantys STB island:

A new island is in edit mode.

Edit mode is the default mode for a configuration downloaded from the Advantys

configuration software to the configuration memory area in the NIM.

890USE17700 April 2004 53

Page 54

Configuring the Island Bus

Initial Configuration and Reconfiguration Scenarios

Use the following procedure to set up an island bus with configuration data that was previously saved (See Saving Configuration Data, p. 163) to a removable memory card. You can use this procedure to configure a new island or to overwrite an existing configuration. Note: Using this procedure will destroy your existing

configuration data.

Step Action Result

1 Install (See Installing the

STB XMP 4440 Optional Removable Memory Card, p. 50) the removable

memory card in its drawer in the NIM.

2 Power on the new island

bus.

The configuration data on the card is checked. If the data is valid, it is written to Flash memory. The system restarts automatically, and the island is configured with this data. If the configuration data is invalid, it is not used and the island bus will stop. If the configuration data was unprotected, the island bus remains in edit mode. If the configuration data on the card was password-protected (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 164), your island bus enters protected mode at the end of the configuration process. Note: If you are using this procedure to reconfigure an island bus and your island is in protected mode, you can use the configuration software to change the island’s operational mode to edit.

Configuring Multiple Island Buses with the Same Data

You can use a removable memory card to make a copy of your configuration data; then use the card to configure multiple island buses. This capability is particularly advantageous in a distributed manufacturing environment or for an OEM (original equipment manufacturer).

Note: The island buses may be either new or previously configured, but the NIMs

must all run the same fieldbus protocol.

Configuring the Island Bus

The RST Button

Summary The RST function is basically a Flash memory overwriting operation. This means

that RST is functional only after the island has been successfully configured at least once. All RST functionality is performed with the RST button, which is enabled only in edit mode.

Physical Description

Engaging the RST Button

The RST button is located immediately above the CFG port (See Physical Description, p. 33), and behind the same hinged cover:

RST button

Holding down the RST button for two seconds or longer causes Flash memory to be overwritten, resulting in a new configuration for the island.

CAUTION

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/CONFIGURATION OVERWRITTEN—RST BUTTON

Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. Pushing the RST button will cause the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory default operating parameters.

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

To engage the RST button, it is recommended that you use a small screwdriver with a flat blade no wider than 2.5 mm (.10 in). Do not use a sharp object that might damage the RST button, nor a soft item like a pencil that might break off and jam the button.

890USE17700 April 2004 55

Configuring the Island Bus

RST Functionality

Introduction The RST function allows you to reconfigure the operating parameters and values of

an island by overwriting the current configuration in Flash memory. RST functionality affects the configuration values associated with the I/O modules on the island, the operational mode of the island, and the CFG port parameters. The RST function is performed by holding down the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) for at least two seconds. The RST button is enabled only in edit mode. In protected mode (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 164), the RST button is disabled; pressing it has no effect.

Note: Network settings, such as the fieldbus baud and the fieldbus node ID, remain

unaffected.

CAUTION

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION/CONFIGURATION DATA OVERWRITTEN—RST BUTTON

Do not attempt to restart the island by pushing the RST button. Pushing the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) causes the island bus to reconfigure itself with factory default operating parameters.

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

RST Configuration Scenarios

The following scenarios describe some of the ways that you can use the RST function to configure your island:

Restore factory-default parameters and values to an island, including to the I/O modules and the CFG port (See Port Parameters, p. 33).

Add a new I/O module to a previously auto-configured (See Auto-Configuration, p. 49) island.

If a new I/O module is added to the island, pressing the RST button will force the auto-configuration process. The updated island configuration data is automatically written to Flash memory.

890USE17700 April 2004

Page 57

Configuring the Island Bus

Overwriting Flash Memory with Factory Default Values

The Role of the NIM in this Process

The following procedure describes how to use the RST function to write default configuration data to Flash memory. Follow this procedure if you want to restore default settings to an island. This is also the procedure to use to update the configuration data in Flash memory after you add an I/O module to a previously auto-configured island bus. Because this procedure will overwrite the configuration

data, you may want to save your existing island configuration data to a removable memory card before pushing the RST button.

Step Action

1 If you have a removable memory card installed, remove it (See Removing the

Card, p. 52).

2 Ensure that your island is in edit mode.

3 Hold the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) down for at least two seconds.

The NIM reconfigures the island bus with default parameters as follows:

Stage Description

1 The NIM auto-addresses (See Auto-Addressing, p. 46) the I/O modules on the

island and derives their factory-default configuration values.

2 The NIM overwrites the current configuration in Flash memory with configuration

data that uses the factory-default values for the I/O modules.

3 It resets the communication parameters on its CFG port to their factory-default

values (See Port Parameters, p. 33).

4 It re-initializes the island bus and brings it into operational mode.

How the STB NIP 2212 Obtains IP Parameters

Summary As a node on a TCP/IP network, the STB NIP 2212 requires a valid 32-bit IP

address. The IP address can be:

the MAC-based default IP address

assigned by an Internet server

customer-configured using the STB NIP 2212 web pages (See About the Embedded Web Server, p. 67)

Note: Refer to the IP parameters flow chart (See The IP Address Assignment

Process, p. 63) for information about how the STB NIP 2212 prioritizes IP address

assignment options.

Page 61

IP Parameters

Deriving an IP Address from a Media Access Control (MAC) Address

The 32-bit default IP address for the STB NIP 2212 is composed of the last four octets of its 48-bit Media Access Control (MAC) address. The MAC address, or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) global address is assigned at the factory. The MAC address for an STB NIP 2212 is located on the front bezel under the Ethernet port (See External Features of the STB NIP 2212, p. 24). A MAC address is stored in hexadecimal format. The numbers in the MAC address must be converted from hexadecimal to decimal notation to derive the default IP address. Use the following steps:

Step Action

1 A MAC address comprises six pairs of hex values, e.g., 00 00 54 10 01 02.

Ignore the first two pairs: 00 00.

2 Identify a pair, e.g., 54.

3 Multiply the first number, 5 by 16. (5 x 16 = 80).

4 Add the second number, 4 (80 + 4 = 84).

Note: There are many resources for converting hex numbers to decimal numbers. We recommend using the Windows calculator in scientific mode.

Note: If you set the lower rotary switch to either INTERNAL position (See Rotary Switches, p. 28) and no IP parameters have been assigned from the

STB NIP 2212 web site, the STB NIP 2212 is configured with its derived default address when it is powered on.

890USE17700 April 2004 61

Page 62

IP Parameters

MAC-Based IP Address Example

In the following example, the hex pairs in the example IEEE global address (MAC address) 54.10.2D.11 are converted into a decimal number in the derived IP address. The derived IP address is 84.16.45.17, so this becomes the default IP address for the example STB NIP 2212:

Hex Pair Decimal Conversion

5 x 16 = 80 + 4= 84

10 1 x 16 = 16 + 0 = 16

2D 2 x 16 = 32 + 13 = 45 D = 13 in hex

11 1 x 16 = 16 + 1 = 17

Server-Assigned IP Addresses

Role Name A role name is a combination of the Ethernet NIM part number STBNIP2212 and a

A server-assigned IP address may be obtained from either a BootP or a DHCP server. A BootP server must be invoked using either BOOTP position on the lower rotary switch (See Physical Description, p. 28). A DHCP-served IP address is associated with a role name.

numeric value, e.g., STBNIP2212_123. A role name may be assigned in one of two ways:

using the numeric settings (00 to 159) on the rotary switches (See Physical Description, p. 28)

setting the lower rotary switch to an INTERNAL position, powering on the STB NIP 2212, and completing the Role Name web page (See Sample Role Name Web Page, p. 82).

CustomerConfigured IP Address

If your STB NIP 2212 does not have a role name, you can configure an IP address directly on the Configured IP web page (See Sample Configured IP Web Page, p. 72). Set the lower rotary switch to an INTERNAL position, power on the STB NIP 2212, and complete the web page.

The STB NIP 2212 supports communications in the Ethernet II and 802.3 frame formats. Ethernet II is the default. When communicating with a BootP server, the STB NIP 2212 first makes three requests using the Ethernet II frame format; then it makes three requests using the

802.3 frame format. The interval between each request is one second. When communicating with a DHCP server, the STB NIP 2212 makes eight requests using the Ethernet II frame format; then it makes eight requests using the 802.3 frame format.

Configuring an IP Address for the STB NIP 2212

Introduction To communicate as a node on the Internet, the fieldbus (Ethernet) port on the

STB NIP 2212 must be configured with a valid IP address. The IP address must be unique on the Ethernet LAN on which the STB NIP 2212 resides. One of the available IP address assignment methods (See How the STB NIP 2212 Obtains IP Parameters, p. 60) is to configure an IP address yourself. A customer configured IP address is set up on the Configured IP web page.

contiguous 1’s of the mask are used to separate the network portion from the host portion of the address. When the subnet mask is applied to the source and destination addresses, it determines if the target host is on the local subnet or on a remote network.

gateway The default gateway, typically a router, is where the host sends frames that

are bound for remote networks after the subnet mask compare.

frame type Data format used by a protocol. For example, the STB NIP 2212 can use

either the Ethernet II or the IEEE 802.3 frame format. Ethernet II is the default.

Note: The IP address for the STB NIP 2212 is written in dotted decimal format.

Configuring Master Controllers

Introduction Any controller on the Ethernet network has the potential to become the master of an

island on that network. Mastery can be obtained on a first-come/first-serve basis. The STB NIP 2212 allows you to pre-assign mastery to as many as three specific controllers on the network. If one of these assigned controllers is connected, it will take mastery over any unassigned controllers, even if an unassigned controller has connected to the island first. To assign one or more master controllers, use the Master Controller web page.

Understanding Processing Mastery

Fields on the Master Controller Web Page

A controller that has mastery over an island has the ability to write to the island’s output process image and to change operating parameters on the island nodes.. Typically, the first controller to request write access is granted mastery. If another master attempts to write to the island while the first controller has mastery, the NIM sends an error message and access is denied. If a master controller has been configured on the Master Controller web page (See Sample Master Controller Web Page, p. 78), a write request from it will pre-empt processing mastery from any other device during its reservation time.

To pre-assign one or more (up to three) master controllers for the STB NIP 2212, identify them by their IP addresses:

Field Name Description

Master x ID* The unique IP address (See How the STB NIP 2212 Obtains IP Parameters,

p. 60) for a master controller.

reservation time

holdup time The amount of time in ms that output modules will hold their current state

* If you do not enter an IP address, then write access to the NIM will be obtained by the first master that writes to it.

The amount of time in ms allocated to a master controller for writing to the STB NIP 2212. Other controllers attempting to write to the STB NIP 2212 while the master is connected will receive an error message. The default reservation time is 60,000 (1 min). Each time the master writes to the NIM, the reservation time is reset to 60,000.

without an update by a Modbus write command (See List of Supported Commands, p. 135). When the module hold-up time out expires, the outputs will be driven to their defined fallback states (See Island Fallback Scenarios, p. 161). Note: The holdup time must be defined via the Master Controller web page. Holdup time out parameters and values are stored in nonvolatile Flash memory.

What Is a Master Configurator?

The master configurator of an Advantys STB island controls the configuration data for all of the I/O modules during its reservation time (See Fields on the Master Configurator Web Page, p. 80). The configuration master must run the Advantys configuration software. The configuration master can connect to either the fieldbus (Ethernet) interface (See Fieldbus (Ethernet) Port, p. 26) or the CFG port (See The CFG Interface, p. 33) on the STB NIP 2212.

Note: The master configurator of an Advantys STB island must be set up on the Master Configurator web page.

The configuration master of an Advantys STB island can be a:

local host that resides on the same Ethernet LAN as the island

remote host that communicates with the Ethernet LAN on which the island resides

device connecting to the STB NIP 2212, serially, via the CFG port The master configurator is identified on the Master Configurator web page as follows:

A master configurator running over the network is identified by its IP address.

A configuration master connecting to the CFG port is specified as serial (See

Fields on the Master Configurator Web Page, p. 80). A master configurator will pre-empt configuration mastery for the Advantys STB island from any other configurator during its reservation time.
