Configurations

Wall Mounting

The Advance Network Gateway Unit (ANG_EN) should be:

• Installed in a location that is free from shock and vibration.

• Protected from direct sunlight and extremes of temperature.

• It is recommended that the ANG_EN be mounted within a shel-

ter. This prevents ANG_EN from being exposed to outside envi­ronmental conditions.

The ANG_EN is available in three models;

• Wall mount unit

• 19-inch rack unit

• Zone 1 wall mount.

The mounting wall must be capable of supporting the weight of the
ANG_EN; see Chapter 1., Specifications and Figures 1-2 through 1-4.

Wall Mount Unit: Use four, 5/16-inch (M8) or 3/8-inch (M10) lag bolts to
mount the ANG_EN to the wall. Mounting bolts must be secured to solid
wall construction members such as studs and into the wall only. Allow
adequate clearance on the left side to allow the door to swing open.

Zone 1 Wall Mount Unit: Use four, ¾ inch (M20) lag bolts to mount the
NAU to the wall. Mounting bolts must be secured to solid wall construc­tion members such as studs and into the wall only.

CE Installations

Description

CE Installation Kit

Instructions

Installation with Steel
Conduit

This section should be used for installation sites that must conform to CE
(Conformite Europeene) Certification. Typically, this does not apply to
installations outside the EC unless the equipment was purchased with
the explicit requirements and expectations that it shall conform to EC
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI) rejection
specifications.

Available from Siemens Applied Automation CE Installation Kit P/N
2020264-001. This kit has all the parts for all the installations referenced
in this section.

The following information pertains to CE Installation of General Purpose,
Zone 1 and Division 2 Equipment. For Zone 1 Installations all cabling is
terminated in the ANG_EN Zone 1 Enclosure.

The preferred method is to route the field wiring in steel conduit. If steel
conduit is used unshielded power and signal wires can be used. The
power and signal wires (Ethernet and Data Hiway) must be routed in
separate conduit.

Installation without Steel
Conduit

Using flexible conduit and/or armored cable is equivalent to using “steel
conduit”. Flexible conduit or armored cable must have its flexible conduit
and/or armoring conductivity 360-degree terminated at its entry to the
ANG_EN enclosure (or bulkhead).

If conduit is not used, the following installation practices must be used to
ensure that the CE certification remains valid:

1. A shielded power cord or cable must be used for the input power
wiring. The shield must be terminated at the ANG_EN in a 360­degree termination at the enclosure (bulkhead); use Siemens Ap­plied Automation P/N 2015729-001 contained in the CE Installation
Kit or an equivalent part. For Zone 1 Installation use Siemens Ap­plied Automation P/N 1311001-014 Installation Kit.

2. The Data Hiway cables shields must be terminated in a 360-degree
termination at the enclosure or bulkhead; use Siemens Applied
Automation P/N 2015729-001 contained CE Installation Kit or an
equivalent part. For Zone 1 Installation use Siemens Applied Auto­mation P/N 13111001-014 Installation Kit.

2000590-001 Installation •• 15

CE Installations, Continued

3. A split ferrite must be clamped to Data Hiway cables and fixed im-

4. Shielded Ethernet cable must be used for all Ethernet connections,

mediately to the outside of the ANG_EN; use Siemens Applied
Automation part number 1173000-013 ferrite contained in CE Instal­lation Kit. This is required to meet the Conducted Immunity require­ment for CE/EMC Heavy Industrial. All other CE/EMC Heavy Indus­trial requirements are met without the use of a ferrite clamp.

in and outside the GC, and coupled through the enclosure using a
shielded RJ-45 coupler; use Siemens Applied Automation part num­ber 1183200-003 contained in CE Installation Kit. A mounting plate
(Siemens part number 2020261-001) is also available to accomplish
this. If needed for Zone 1 installation Siemens Applied Automation
part numbers 2017984-001 and 2017985-001 is available to maintain
purge. If a PG gland is used to make the 360-degree termination of
the Ethernet shield at the enclosure, the Installation Kit and other
parts are not required.

Important Definitions

This section provides instructions to configure an Advance Network
Gateway (ANG_EN) with its own Network Address.

1. Open Windows Hyper Terminal program on your PC; reference Con-
figuring Your PC, page 26.

2. Connect and Log on to ANG_EN; reference Establishing a Con-
nection, page 26.

Familiarize yourself with the following definitions.

address ip:

subnetmask:

This is the 12-digit address that defines each
ANG_EN’s network ID and host ID. The IP ad­dress must be assigned before the ANG_EN is
placed on-line to the network. Typically the cus­tomer’s network administrator assigns this ad­dress. The address ip is entered in dotted decimal
notation. Ex: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Subnetting, dividing the host ID into a subnet and
host ID, helps hide the details of an internal net­work organization to external routers. The sub­netmask is used to reduce the size of routing ta­bles and restrict broadcast messages to the sub­network. The subnetmask is a 32-bit value con­taining one bits for the network and subnet ID and
zero bits for the host ID. Typically the same sub­net mask is used on all ANG_EN’s on a given
network. Ex: 255.255.000.000.

Assigning an IP Address

Overview

IP Address

How to Assign an IP
Address

Each Advance Network Gateway (ANG_EN) unit on a network must be
assigned an IP address. This 32-bit number defines each ANG_EN’s
network ID and host ID. The IP address is assigned by the user before
the Gateway is physically connected to a network.

See Setting Network Address & Loop and Unit Numbers, for instructions
on how to enter the IP address.

The IP Address consists of a 32-bit number divided into four 8-bit fields.
Each field is expressed as a decimal number from 1 to 255 with each
field separated by periods. This is referred to as “dotted decimal” nota­tion. For example, 192.16.9.52 is an IP address.

Ask your network administrator to assign you an IP Address, or if the
ANG_EN will be in a closed plant area and not connected to the Internet
(World Wide Web) you can select an address from Table 3-1.

See Setting Network Address & Loop and Unit Numbers, for instructions
on how to enter the IP address.

Editing the Address Translation Table

Overview

Table Description

Important

The Advance Network Gateway (ANG_EN) monitors the “local” ADH bus
for messages with a “remote” destination address. The ANG_EN
determines if the message destination is “remote” by searching it’s
Address Translation Table (ATT). If the destination address is located
remotely, the ANG_EN encapsulates the ADH message within the data
portion of an IP packet and sends the message out the Ethernet port.

The Address Translation Table (ATT) records all known units that reside
on the Advance Data Hiway (ADH). Each record within the ATT contains
an ADH Loop / Unit number and the IP address of the ANG_EN the unit
is directly connected to. The ATT records are automatically added or
updated each time an ADH broadcast is received. Each ANG_EN
broadcasts it’s ATT every 10 minutes. This insures the data intgerity of
all ATT tables. An uninitalized ATT is automatically updated after 10
minutes by receiving ADH broadcasts and ANG_EN ATT broadcasts.

Only Advance analyzer units broadcast on a periodic basis so it may be
necessary to add other type units when a new ANG_EN is added. An
alternate method of updating the ATT is to force all ADH units to send a
power-up broadcast by pressing the reset button or cycling the power.

Before You Begin

The following procedure assumes that the Windows Hyper Terminal pro­gram residing on your PC has been configured, the ANG_EN is opera­tional and the PC is connected to the ANG_EN.

Ethernet Troubleshooting Guide

Description

The most common problems associated with the Ethernet and how to
correct them are given in the table below.

Fault Probable Cause

Collisions Excessive collisions are most often caused by a

physical media problem such as:

1. missing or incorrect terminators (10Base2)

2. impedance discontinuities (such as defec­tive connectors, cable stubs, crushed ca­bles, incorrect cable types)

3. defective network interface cards (NIC)

4. too many network devices on a single colli­sion domain

Late Collisions Causes of Late Collisions are faulty NIC card or

a network that is physically too long. A network
is physically too long, if the end-to-end signal
propagation time is greater than the minimum
legal sized frame (about 57.6 microseconds or
~58 bit times)

1. cable lengths in excess of the maximum
permitted for the cable type

2. faulty connectors or improper cabling

3. excessive numbers of repeaters between
network devices

4. defective Ethernet transceivers or defective
network interface cards (NIC)

FCS Error A FCS error can be caused by a faulty NIC or

driver, cabling, hub or induced noise. A Late
Collision can result in a FCS error. Possible
causes (listed by highest probability):

1. Late Collision

2. Faulty Cable/Connectors

3. Induced noise

4. Faulty NIC or HUB

Guide to Network Health

Recommendations
for Network Health

There are no magic numbers for good, or bad, network parameters (such
as: utilization and collisions). The parameters that are acceptable for a
healthy network are determined by many variables.

1. Utilization should average less than 40%. If you have extended
peaks of greater than 70% you may want to investigate the
causes and consider configuration changes to lower the average
utilization. Generally, the greater the number of stations the
lower the acceptable utilization threshold.

2. The collision rate should be less than 5%. Be wary of large
bursts of collisions (greater than 20%); this can be an indicator of
severe cabling or component problem.

3. Bad FCS errors, late collisions, jabbers, and ghosts should be
rare occurrences and should be investigated when they become
repetitive. These error conditions are typically a result of some
kind of problem with the cabling and/or network configuration.

4. Excessive broadcast traffic adversely affects all stations on the
network. Investigate nodes that are transmitting many broad­casts for possible reconfiguration. The average broadcast frame
rate should be less than 5%.

Data Hiway Testing

How to Test the Data Hiway

Appendix

Post Installation Test

Test Equipment

Measuring Signal
Line Continuity

The following test procedure tests the Channel A and Channel B Data
Hiway cable connections. These test procedures insures that the signal
lines are correctly installed.

Referenced testing points are CH A and CH B (+) and negative (-) and
shield ground termination's.

The following test equipment is required to test continuity of installed
Data Hiway Channel A and Channel B signal lines:

• 9 Vdc battery, with connector leads and clips

• Digital Volt Ohm Meter (DVM) or equivalent

• 10K ohm resistor, with leads and clips

Data Hiway channel A and channel B + and - signal line continuity can
be checked by performing the following procedures. Devices can be op­erating on the Data Hiway when making continuity checks. Perform the
check for each device connected to the Data Hiway.

Do not skip testing any devices connected to the Data Hiway. Check at
the incoming termination's on the I/O chassis, the Termination Boards in
the Analyzer Electronics enclosures, LINC units, and any other Data
Hiway devices. Typical problems are reverse polarity; poor contacts on
wiring terminals, opens, and shorts and cross channel wiring. Every point
in the Data Hiway wiring should be carefully checked to ensure correct
wiring.

2000590-001 Data Hiway Testing •• 61

Step Procedure

1. Connect the positive lead of the 9-volt battery through the 10K
ohm resistor to Channel A (+) terminal and connect the negative
lead of the battery to the Channel A (-) terminal at any connec­tion point on the Data Hiway.

2. Using DVM measure for 9.0 Vdc across Channel A (+) and
Channel A (-).

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Channel B.

How to Test the Data Hiway, Continued

Measuring Shield
Continuity

Data Hiway shield lead continuity can be checked by performing the fol­lowing procedures:

Ground Data Hiway cable shields at only one end of each segment. This
practice reduces ground loop noise.

Step Procedure

1. With Data Hiway communicating with connected Nodes,
temporarily disconnect Channel A shield lead from ground.

2. Connect 10K ohm resistor to disconnected shield and con­nect battery positive (+) lead to resistor. Resistor should be
in series with the battery. Connect battery negative (-) lead
to unit ground.

3. Connect DVM positive (+) lead to channel A and connect
shield and negative (-) to unit ground. Measured voltage
potential should be 9 Vdc.

4. If 9 Vdc is not measured, the channel A shield line is
grounded at another point; correct problem.

5. Reconnect channel A and shield lead.

6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for Channel B.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each shield ground point on
the Data Hiway cable.

Ethernet

Collisions

CRC - Cyclic
Redundancy Check

This section defines important Terms.

The Advance Network Gateway Ethernet (ANG_EN) is a wall- (or rack-)
mounted unit that is self-contained with power supply and all electronics.
It provides internal field termination points to connect standard Advance
Data Hiway cable “on one side” and Ethernet 10BaseT cabling (Un­shielded Twisted Pair) “on the other side”. The Gateway unit requires
120 VAC power wired directly to it.

A data link level protocol comprising the OSI model’s bottom two layers.
Ethernet is a broadcast networking technology that uses several different
physical media, including twisted-pair cable and coaxial cable. Ethernet
usually used CSMA/CD. TCP/IP is commonly used with Ethernet net­works.

The result of two or more LAN stations attempting to use the same
transmission medium at the same time. Collisions are a normal occur­rence on Ethernet. A properly functioning Ethernet will experience a rela­tive small percentage of collisions. Typically the collision rate should be
less than 5% of the available bandwidth. Most collisions occur during the
preamble portion of the frame. Most Ethernet controllers automatically
retry, up to 15 times, any packet that has a collision during transmission.
(Except for Late Collisions)

CRC is a method to detect errors. A number is derived from the data that
will be transmitted. By recalculating the CRC at the remote end and
comparing it to the value originally transmitted, the receiving node can
detect errors.

DataNET

Data Hiway

2000590-001 Glossary •• 63

The name “DataNET” is used by Siemens Applied Automation to mean
the high-speed communication system inclusive of our application soft­ware.

The term “Data Hiway” refers to the Advance Optichrom Network. The
Advance Network Gateway and DataNET Gateway are used to bridge
the Advance Optichrom network and the Advance DataNET network.

Late Collision

FCS - Frame Check
Sequence Error

Ghosts

Jabber

A Late Collision is one that occurs after the first 64 bytes in a frame or
packet. Since the smallest Ethernet frame (packet) is 64 bytes in length,
late collisions will not be detected on small packets. Ethernet controllers
do not retransmit packets with late collisions resulting in lost packets.
Late Collisions usually appear as a bad FCS frame. The only time a late
collision can be detected on a 10BaseT network is when the detecting
device is transmitting at the same time.

The CRC (Cycle Redundancy Check) remainder transmitted at the end
of a frame. A FCS error is a legal sized Ethernet frame with a bad frame
check sequence.

Ghosts are energy on the cable that appears to be a frame, but does not
have a valid beginning of frame pattern (start delimiter 10101011).
Ground loops and other wiring problems cause some repeaters to be­lieve that a frame is being received. Since the repeater is only reacting to
an AC voltage riding on the cable, there is not a valid frame to pass
along. The repeater, however, transmits this energy along the network.
This may be a jam pattern or a very long preamble. Ghosts events con­sume bandwidth and can slow down a network. Ghosts are the result of
network elements reacting to noise. The effect of noise on network wiring
is indeterminate. Some network devices will react while others will not.
Ghosts cause random events and can be hard to correct.

The term Jabber refers to an Ethernet frame that is greater than the
maximum legal size (Greater than 1518 bytes). Many 10BaseT HUBS
will partition a port that is jabbering.
