3-3 6. Once the new IP address is set, it is very likely (depending on what IP address and Network mask were assigned to the ENBT module) that the Configuration PC will no longer be able to communicate with the ENBT module. The IP address of the Configuration PC will need to be changed to be in the ...

3-4 2. Click the “Auto Connect” button, and the ETH-1000 module will be connected, and the screen will be populated with the current information: The proper device type is shown with a green LED lit showing the connection has been established. The firmware type, version, and Database type are also s...

3-5 5. After the download, the system will need to be reset for the changes to take effect. Click “Yes” to the pop-up message and the ETH-1000 will go through the reset sequence 6. After the ETH-1000 system reboot, the screen should show the new IP address. In this example, the IP address was change...

3-6 3.3 Changing the IP Addresses of the iQ PLC Built-in Ethernet Port The following are steps to change the IP address of the iQ PLC Built-in Ethernet Port: 1. Open the GX Works2 on the Configuration PC and create a new project for the appropriate CPU Module (e.g. Q13UDEH in this example). 2. Selec...

3-7 c. Click the Open Setting box and enter the first channel as MC Protocol with a proper Host Station Port number (In this example, the Port Number is set at Hex 5001) 3. Download the parameter settings to the PLC. 1 In tr o d u c ti o n 2 S y s te m O v e rv ie w 3 D e v ic e s t o t h e N e tw o...

3-8 3.4 Configuring the External Ethernet Module in the iQ System When application requires, an external Ethernet module can be added to the system and communicating to the iQ CPU. This section describes the configuration of a QJ71E71-100 module to be used in the communication with a CLX through the...

3-10 3. At the Network Parameter Setting window, click “Open Setting” and open the window below and enter the parameters as shown: a. Configure the Host Station Port Number to match the Connection Object port number configured in the ICC ETH-1000.

4-3 5. Then select the Major Revision level of the ENBT firmware. In the Verification System, the major revision level of the ENBT module is 2. 6. Enter the proper Name, Slot Location, Revision Level and IP Address of the ENBT module. In the Verification System, the module name is set at CSC_EIP, th...

4-4 7. Click “OK” to accept the configuration and make no additional configuration changes to the “Connection” tab. Simply click “OK” again to accept the configuration. 4.2 Adding the ICC Module The following steps are used to add the ICC module for communication using I/O Messaging (or Implicit Mes...

These are the tag locations where ICC will transfer the data to the ControlLogix using Implicit Message protocol every RPI. b. 248 integer tags were created for CSC_ICC_ETH1000_INT:O. These are the tag locations where data will be sent ...

5-1 Chapter 5 ETH-1000 Configuration The steps to configure the ETH-1000 module to work with the ControlLogix PLC using EtherNet/IP Implicit Messaging and Mitsubishi controllers using MC Protocol are documented. Configuring the Validation System as shown in Figure 2 is used as the example. Some para...

5-2 2. Select the EtherNet/IP tab of the ICC Configuration screen and define the ICC Database locations where data items will be exchanged between the ControlLogix PLC and the ICC module through the Implicit Messaging protocol. In this example, the “Produce Data Start Address” of the ICC module is s...

5-3 The database addresses in the ICC are used to address “byte” data locations. Thus, 248 words will take up 496 database addresses. 3. Select the “Monitor” tab and check the “Display Usage” checkbox to show the DB memory locations that are configured for use by both the Produced and Consumed data....

5-7 c. Define the Service Object to read 10 words of Link Relay to ICC 1 In tr o d u c ti o n 2 S y s te m O v e rv ie w 3 D e v ic e s t o t h e N e tw o rk 4 C o n tr o lL o g ix P L C P ro je c t C o n fi g u ra ti o n 5 E T H -1 0 0 0 C o n fi g u ra ti o n 6 U s in g E th e rN e t/ IP E x p li ...

6-1 Chapter 6 Using EtherNet/IP Explicit Messaging The ControlLogix PLC can communicate with the Mitsubishi iQ PLC using EIP Explicit Messaging format through the ICC ETH-1000 gateway. The communication is accomplished through the use of MSG instructions in RSLogix5000. Refer to Sections 11.1.4.5, 1...

7-1 Chapter 7 Terminology Implicit (I/O Data) Messaging Connections are established to move application-specific I/O data at regular intervals. These connections often are set up as one-to-many relationships in order to take full advantage of the producer-consumer multicast model. Implicit messaging...
