General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation or adjustment of the optional parameters of the equipment or from mismatching the
variable speed drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of commitment
to a policy of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the
specification of the product or its performance, or the content of the guide without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electrical or mechanical including, photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system,
without permission in writing from the publisher.
Environmental Statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management
System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS,
our Environment Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at
www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save
energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap
throughout their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far
outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded
but should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the
products easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap
together and can be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional
fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates,
while smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high-recycled fibre
content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags
from wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy prefers
easily recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for
improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and
best practice.
Firmware Statement
This product is supplied with the latest firmware version. When retro-fitting to an existing system, all
firmware versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as products of the same type already
present. This also applies to products returned from a Control Techniques Service Centre or Repair Centre.
If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of the product.
The firmware version of the product can be identified by looking at Pr MM.002 where MM is the relevant
menu number for the module slot being used.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory
authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products,
please approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position statement can be

Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid

Protocols
hazards, either in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System
design, installation, start up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who
have the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety information and
this User Guide carefully.
PC Applications
The STOP and SAFE TORQUE OFF functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous
voltages from the output of the drive or from any external option unit. The supply must
be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to the
electrical connections.
Security

With the sole exception of the SAFE TORQUE OFF function, none of the drive
functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used
for safety-related functions.
Diagnostics

The SAFE TORQUE OFF function may be used in a safety-related application. The
system designer is responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and
designed correctly according to the relevant safety standards.
Glossary of

1.4 Environmental limits

SI-Ethernet User Guide 5

Issue: 1
1.5 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national
wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of
conductors, the selection of fuses or other protection, and protective earth (ground)
connections.
For instructions in achieving compliance with specific EMC standards, please refer to
the relevant drive user guide.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used, must comply
with the directives stated in the relevant drive user guide.

1.6 Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed operation. If it is
intended to use the capability of the drive to run a motor at speeds above its designed
maximum, it is strongly recommended that the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less
effective. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric forced vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor.
The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in the motor rated current parameter
Pr 00.046, as this affects the thermal protection of the motor.

1.7 Adjusting parameters

Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not
be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system.
Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering
especially if a remote user can access the drive over Ethernet.

1.8 General safety considerations for remote operation

The Ethernet interface enables the possibility of remotely controlling a machine from a
distance. It is vital that when connecting to a machine remotely, adequate safety
procedures are implemented to prevent damage to the machine or injury to personnel.
Any connection to a “live” system has the possibility of altering the state of the machine,
adequate procedures must be implemented to cover this situation.
It is the responsibility of the machine builder to ensure that such a system is safe
and complies with current legislation.

NOTE On the onboard Ethernet interface, pin1 is located on the left but on the SI-Ethernet
module pin 1 is located on the right (as shown).

4.2 Cabling considerations

To ensure long-term reliability it is recommended that any cables used to connect a
system together are tested using a suitable Ethernet cable tester, this is of particular
importance when cables are constructed on site.
Any isolated signal circuit has the capability to become live through accidental contact
with other conductors; as such they should always be double-insulated from live parts.
The routing of network and signal wires should be done so as to avoid close proximity to
mains voltage cabling.

4.3 Module grounding

SI-Ethernet is supplied with a grounding tag on the module that should be connected to
the closest possible grounding point using the minimum length of cable. This will greatly
improve the noise immunity of the module.

5.2 Addressing
The addressing system used on Ethernet uses two essential numbers for making

Getting started
connection, these are the IP address and the subnet mask. The address allows a
specific device to be located and the subnet mask defines how many bits represent the
subnet part of the address and how many bits represent the node address (see section
5.6.1 The IP address on page 17). Generally devices on different subnets can only
communicate by using a gateway (typically a router or firewall).
5.3 Where do IP addresses come from?

Parameters
Every address on a network must be unique. If you do not connect your network to any
other networks the assignment of IP addresses is not critical (although using a standard
system is recommended), as you have full control of the addresses used. The issue of
addressing becomes important when connecting multiple networks together or

5.4 Addressing etiquette
PC Applications
The following list details some points that should be considered when selecting
addresses:
• Reserve address space: Ensure you have enough reserve address space on your
chosen addressing scheme to allow for future expansion.
• Uniqueness: Ensure your addresses are unique, every device on a subnet must
Security

have a unique address.

• Avoid reserved addresses: For example the address 127.0.0.1 is reserved as the
loop back address.
Diagnostics

• Broadcast and system addresses: The highest and lowest host address on a
subnet are reserved addresses.
• Use a system: Have a scheme for assigning your addresses, for example typically
servers may have a low IP address and routers a high IP address. It is not

5.5 Class types
IP addresses are grouped into ranges called classes, each class has a specific set of
addresses and has a typical situation where it is used.
When selecting the class of IP address required, consideration must be given to how
many subnets you need, how many hosts are required and if you will need a public
(worldwide) or a private (local) addressing scheme. Table 5.1 shows an overview of how
the class types are defined and Table 5.2 shows how each class separates the subnet
and host ID.

Table 5.1 Subnets and hosts supported by class type

Address Class First Octet Decimal Number of Number of Hosts
Range Subnets
A 1-126.x.y.z 126 16,777,214
B 128-191.x.y.z 16,382 65,534
C 192-223.x.y.z 2,097,150 254

Table 5.2 Address components

Address Class IP Address Subnet Component Host Component
A w.x.y.z w x.y.z
B w.x.y.z w.x y.z
C w.x.y.z w.x.y z

NOTE Using the subnet mask it is possible to modify the IP addressing such that the ratio of
subnets and host addresses may be changed. This gives you the facility to “adjust”
standard classes to suit your specific requirements.
5.5.1 Class A addresses
A class A address only uses the first octet to represent the subnet, the remaining octets
are used to represent the host id. These addresses are intended for large organisations
such as universities and the military. These addresses must be requested from the
governing body (InterNIC) when using them publicly (on the Internet) to avoid
duplication.
5.5.2 Class B addresses
A class B address uses the first two octets to represent the subnet, the remaining octets
are used to represent the host id. These addresses are intended for medium to large
size networks. These addresses must be requested from the governing body (InterNIC)
when using them publicly (on the Internet) to avoid duplication. Class B addresses are
generally used on public or private networks.

5.5.3 Class C addresses

Class C addresses use the first 3 octets as the subnet address and the remaining octet
as the host id. A class C address is normally used on a private network only, due to the
restriction on the number of hosts on the network. Class C addresses will not be routed
onto the Internet.

5.5.4 Class D & E addresses

These addresses are reserved for multicasting and experimental use.

5.6 Generating the complete address

information
A complete IP address consists of an IP address and a subnet mask, these two

Safety
numbers are required to allow communication on Ethernet using TCP/IP.

5.6.1 The IP address

Introduction
The IP address is made up from four 8 bit decimal numbers (octets) and is written as
follows:
w.x.y.z for example192.168.0.1 (class c)

5.6.2 The subnet mask

Mechanical
installation
The subnet mask defines what part of the address constitutes the subnet within the IP
address and what part of the address constitutes the host address. The subnet mask is
bit-wise ANDed with the address to give the subnet to which the host belongs. A typical
class C subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0, this may alternatively be written as ‘/24’

Electrical
as in the example below, showing an IP address of 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of

subnet part of the address, starting from the most significant bit.

Getting started
Alternative subnet mask notation: 192.168.0.1 /24

5.6.3 Completing the address

To determine which part of the address constitutes the network address and which part
constitutes the node address, the IP address is bit-wise ANDed with the subnet mask.

5.7 DHCP considerations
5.7.1 Using fixed IP addressing
Using fixed IP addresses (manually configured) means that if a module fails, the IP
address can be restored to a replacement module without the need to reconfigure the
DHCP server. Using fixed addresses also prevents the DHCP server from changing the
address. When using fixed IP addresses, it is vital that the IP address is reserved on the
DHCP server to prevent duplicate addressing.

NOTE If using manual IP address configuration please note that the IP address subnet mask
and the default gateway must also be set manually. For more information on manual
configuration see section 7.2.6 Network on page 22.

5.7.2 Using DHCP

If DHCP is used, it is recommended that the allocated IP address is bound to the MAC
address of the Ethernet interface, this strategy prevents the IP address changing on the
Ethernet interface. Any leased addresses should be leased permanently to prevent IP
address changes.

NOTE If the SI-Ethernet module is configured to use DHCP and the module requires
exchanging, the new SI-Ethernet module will have a different MAC address and hence
the DHCP server will issue the new module with a different IP address.

5.8 Basic principles of routing

Routing is required to get TCP/IP packets from one subnet to another. In an IP network,
nodes from one subnet cannot communicate directly with nodes on a different subnet.
To allow nodes to communicate, a router (or similar device) is required to allow the two
subnets to exchange data. This means that any node wishing to communicate with a
node that is not on its own subnet, must know the address of a router that is on its own
subnet. This is sometimes called a gateway or default gateway.

6 Parameters
The Ethernet interface holds two parameter databases; the Ethernet interface internal
parameter database and the host drive's parameter database.
The Ethernet interface internal parameters can be accessed from the drive's keypad, a
user program in a MCi200/MCi210 option module, PC Tools applications software or a
module in another slot of the drive. The notation S.mm.ppp is used to access these
parameters where S is the slot number, mm is the menu number and ppp is the
parameter number. For example, to access Pr 03.010 of a MCi210 installed in slot 2 of a
drive from a module in slot 3, it will be accessed using Pr 2.03.010.
The Ethernet interface will also hold a copy of the host drive's database. At power up, if
the stored drive database is different to that of the drive, the Ethernet interface will
upload the drive's database and overwrite the stored database. If the two databases
match, the drive's database will not be uploaded.
A module that is powered up for the first time will not contain a drive database and
therefore will perform a drive database upload.

Coding RW
This parameter allows for enabling and disabling output assembly object consistency.
Writing of data can be controlled using consistency by enabling this parameter and
setting a trigger parameter (Output assembly object consistency trigger parameter
(S.20.029)).

Consistency enabled
When the output consistency is enabled, the value in Output assembly object
consistency trigger parameter (S.20.029) is checked at the beginning of the writing
routine. If it is zero then the PLC or EtherNet/IP master output values are written to the
cyclic data destination parameters and the trigger parameter is set to one. If the output
trigger parameter value is non-zero then the output values are not written to the
destination parameters.

NOTE If write consistency is enabled, then at reset or at power-up, the value in the trigger
parameter is set to one.

Consistency disabled
When the output consistency is disabled, the output values are written to the cyclic data
destination parameters at the background task rate after it has been received.

7 Key features and Protocols

information
Safety
This section details the key features and protocols supported by the onboard Ethernet
interface and the SI-Ethernet option module.

7.1 PC/PLC considerations

Introduction
If the subnet of the host PC/PLC is different to the subnet of the Ethernet interface, then
both the Ethernet interface and the PC/PLC, must be configured with the address of a
gateway that allows communication between the two devices.

Mechanical
installation
7.2 Modbus TCP/IP
Modbus TCP/IP is one of the most widely supported industrial Ethernet based protocols
offering the functionality and simplicity of the Modbus protocol, with the flexibility of
Ethernet. Table 7.1 shows the supported Modbus function codes.

installation
Electrical
Modbus TCP/IP uses the standard Protocol Data Unit (PDU) but without the CRC bytes
and encapsulates it within a Modbus TCP/IP Application Data Unit (ADU) for
transmission. This means that the Modbus PDU is the same for both standard (RTU)
and Ethernet based transmission.

Getting started

 7.2.2 Data structure
Communication between devices is based upon Modbus Application Data Units
(ADUs), the ADU consists of 2 parts, the Modbus Application Protocol (MBAP) header
and the Modbus Protocol Data Unit (PDU).

Transaction Identifier 2 Uniquely identifies the transaction (0 to 65535)
Protocol Identifier 2 Identifies the protocol (0 = Modbus)
Length 2 Number of following bytes in the message
Unit Identifier 1 Uniquely identifies the destination node (0 to 255)

The unit identifier within the MBAP header is used to identify whether the destination
node is the host drive or an option module (not available on the onboard Ethernet
interface with firmware versions prior to V01.02.01.10).

 7.2.3 Data access

information
Data access using Modbus TCP/IP takes the form of a request for data by the master,

Safety
followed by a response from the slave indicating success or failure. If no response is
received this indicates that the message has not been received or the message is
invalid or the node is unable to reply.

Introduction
Each drive or option module parameter is internally mapped to a single 16-bit Modbus
register, all Modbus function codes access 16-bit registers only. To access a 32-bit
parameter, two contiguous Modbus registers must be specified in the request and the
32-bit data access scheme must be used.

Mechanical
installation
7.2.4 32-bit data access
Standard Modbus registers are 16 bits in size and reference a single drive/option
module parameter. To access a 32-bit data value the multiple read/write services must
be used to transfer a contiguous array of 16-bit registers. To instruct the client to select

installation
Electrical
either 16-bit or 32-bit access bit 14 of the register address is used.

NOTE Bit b15 of the register address is reserved for future use.

Getting started
Figure 7-2 Data type selection

Parameters
and Protocols
Key features
PC Applications
If 32-bit data type is selected then this effectively adds 16384 (0x4000) to the start
register address.
e.g. For drive parameter Pr 01.021 in standard addressing mode, the start register
value is 16384 + 120 = 16504 (0x4078)

 7.2.6 Register addressing
The Modbus register address is 16 bits in size, of which the upper two bits are used for
data type selection leaving 14 bits to represent the parameter address, taking into
account the slave increments the address value by 1, this results in a theoretical
maximum parameter address of 163.84 (limited to 162.99 in software) when the default
standard addressing mode (see Modbus Register Addressing Mode (S.15.013)) is
used.
To access a parameter number above 99 then the modified addressing mode must be
used (see Modbus Register Addressing Mode (S.15.013)), this will allow access to
parameter numbers up to 255 but also limit the maximum menu number to 63.

NOTE A reset is not required to activate the change, the addressing mode is effectively made
active immediately on changing.

The Modbus slave device increments the register address by 1 before processing the
command, this effectively prevents access to parameter Pr 00.000 in the drive or option
module.
The table below shows how the start register address is calculated for both addressing
modes.

 By choosing the most appropriate transmission type an efficient and reliable network
can be designed.
For example:
• Three drives must use an ELS (Electronic Line Shaft) to follow a Smart Drive.
In this case a multicast message should be used to transmit the reference
position from the Smart Drive.
• Three drives need to return general status information to the Smart Drive.
In this case, each drive should send a unicast message to the Smart Drive.
• The Smart Drive needs to command all other drives to stop/start.
The Smart Drive should use a broadcast message to transmit the command to
all the other drives.

NOTE Broadcast messages should be used with care, bottlenecks in the network can be
easily created by using broadcast messages, this will reduce the performance of the
network and, in extreme situations, seriously impair the system operation.

Unicast
A unicast link will only be processed by the specified destination address, the
transmitting device specifies the destination address in S.10.015, S.10.025 or S.10.035
(Tx1, Tx2 or Tx3 respectively) and the receiving link in the relevant device must be set
to “Direct” in S.10.044, S.10.054 or S.10.064 (Rx1, Rx2 or Rx3 respectively).

Multicast
A multicast link can be processed by more than one destination address, the
transmitting device configures the multicast address group (Multicast1, Multicast2,
Multicast3 or Multicast4) in S.10.014, S.10.024 or S.10.034 (Tx1, Tx2 or Tx3
respectively), the appropriate multicast destination address is automatically set in
S.10.015, S.10.025 or S.10.035 (Tx1, Tx2 or Tx3 respectively), a receiving link on the
same network must be configured to use the same multicast address group as specified
in S.10.014, S.10.024 or S.10.034 (Tx1, Tx2 or Tx3 respectively) in S.10.044, S.10.054
or S.10.064 (Rx1, Rx2 or Rx3 respectively).
Any device on the same network as the transmitting device may be configured to
receive a multicast message.
Each cyclic link can be configured for one of four multicast addresses, this means that
on any given network, there may be up to four groups of multicast addresses.
The multicast addresses used are in the local scope addresses ranging from
239.255.0.1 to 239.255.0.4.

Broadcast
A broadcast link can be processed by any device on the network, the transmitting
device sets the message type as “Broadcast” in S.10.014, S.10.024 or S.10.034 (Tx1,
Tx2 or Tx3 respectively), the broadcast IP address (255.255.255.255) will be
automatically set in S.10.015, S.10.025 or S.10.035 (Tx1, Tx2 or Tx3 respectively), a
receiving link on the same network must be configured to “Direct” in S.10.044, S.10.054
or S.10.064 (Rx1, Rx2 or Rx3 respectively).
Any device on the same network as the transmitting device may be configured to
receive a broadcast message.

 7.3.3 Checking for bottlenecks

information
There are three main reasons why a bottleneck occurs:

Safety
1. A drive is receiving more Ethernet messages than it can handle.
(8000 frames per second)
2. A drive is being asked to access more parameters than it can handle.

Introduction
(6000 parameters per second for M600, M700 and M800, 500 parameters per
second for M200, M300 and M400)
3. A segment of the network has reached it’s bandwidth limit.
For a full duplex 100Mbit/sec Ethernet network, assuming all Ethernet messages

Mechanical
installation
are the maximum 1500 bytes in length, the bandwidth is 8000 frames/sec in each
direction.

NOTE • It is unrealistic to assume that all messages will be full frames

installation
• In reality the maximum number of frames/sec will be higher

Electrical
• A more detailed frame analysis may be performed if necessary but the values
stated can be used to quickly determine whether bottlenecks could be a problem

Getting started
7.3.4 RTMoE Message synchronization
Cyclic messages can be synchronized or non-synchronized.
Only one synchronized cyclic link in each direction (one transmit and one receive) is
possible so these should only be used for high precision applications where the motion
of multiple drives must be closely coupled (e.g. printing applications). All other

Parameters
messages should be sent using a non-synchronized cyclic link.
By default, all cyclic links are non-synchronous, if a synchronous link is required then
the relevant link number profile for both the transmit link and receive link must be set to
“Sync”.

and Protocols
Key features
Synchronized cyclic data links utilise the IEEE1588 clock time distributed across the
network. The IEEE1588 clock can synchronize the drive's control loops to within a 1µs
accuracy, Pr 0.11.002 Option Synchronisation Active displays the active option slot
providing synchronization. With synchronized control loops the Ethernet interface can
PC Applications
be used to transfer drive parameters containing motion information, including those
from the AMC.
Synchronous links work by including the time of when the data should be used along
with the data values. This time allows enough time for the cyclic link to reach all
destination devices, the time allowed for can be set in Easy Mode Maximum Network
Security

Delay (S.11.030). The receiving interface will wait for its current time to match the
timestamp in the cyclic link before processing the message.
With normal Ethernet there are a number of variables that can impact upon the
Diagnostics

performance of the network. These include:

• Delays through switches - Ethernet is a switched network and messages are
typically copied completely into a switch before being forwarded on. This is
Glossary of

fundamental to modern Ethernet and cannot be influenced by system design.

terms

• Message length – the longer a message, the longer it will take to transmit and copy
into a switch before forwarding it on. For a synchronous cyclic link frame this delay
is 12µs, for a full Ethernet frame it is 120 µs.
Message length can be controlled, but to maximise compatibility with other Ethernet
Index

traffic, it is sensible to allow for full frame Ethernet messages where possible.

SI-Ethernet User Guide 133

Issue: 1
 • Length of daisy chain - A daisy chain with Ethernet is really a chain of three port
switches.
This can be controlled through physical network design e.g. using a tree structure to
limit the length of daisy chains.
The above delays (Latency) are managed in software, in conjunction with PTP, to
ensure that all device use synchronous data at the same time, but the length of the
daisy chain must be controlled by careful network design.

7.3.5 General guidelines for synchronous cyclic data

The following guidelines provide a simple way of specifying a network supporting
synchronous cyclic data that offers accurate synchronization and guaranteed
determinism, whilst maintaining compatibility with standard Ethernet traffic.
• Limit daisy chains to 10 drives
• Where more than 10 drives are used, create a tree structure using a switch
• Any Ethernet switches must support IEEE1588 V2
• Segregate the network using VLANs and gateways
• Assign one device to be the synchronization master for each segregated network

7.3.6 Segregating the network

If synchronous cyclic links are used, for best reliability it is sensible to segregate the
network. This means:
• Assign one (or more) drive(s) to be a gateway, which ensures messages entering
the segregated section are stripped of any existing prioritisation information. (See
Gateway Mode (S.02.025)
• Ensure that VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is enabled on all devices so that
synchronous data can be prioritised as it is passed between switches. (See VLAN
Enable (S.04.030) and Drive VLAN ID (S.04.031))
• Use multiple Master Clock Domains. (See Master Clock Domain (S.11.002))

7.3.7 Synchronization master

If a synchronous cyclic link is used then one device must be a synchronous master, if
this is an existing 3rd party device then, to minimize the initialization time, all other
devices/drives on the network should not be allowed to become the synchronous
master. To disable the drive from becoming the synchronous master then set the value
in Preferred Sync Master (S.11.001) to 0, this ensures the drive does not become the
synchronous master.
If there is no existing synchronous master then a suitable drive should be chosen (see
Preferred Sync Master (S.11.001)), in choosing which drive to be the synchronous
master, the physical position of the drives and network layout should be considered so
as to minimize the number of switches each message has to pass through.
A typical segregated network using VLANs and gateways consisting of three separate
sections of a machine controlled by one master PLC is shown in the following diagram.

 7.3.8 Parameter Mapping Configuration
Each cyclic link (transmit and receive) must have a unique link number (from 1 to 255)
to identify it, this link number must be specified in both the transmitting device and
receiving device.
For each cyclic link a start parameter and number of consecutive parameters must be
defined along with the message type, for a transmit link the destination address (if not a
broadcast) and message rate must also be configured. A typical requirement is to
transmit and receive parameter values from non-consecutive parameters. This can be
performed by configuring a suitable drive menu 0 parameter as the start parameter and
the required number of parameters as the count. Drive menu 22 of the drive can be
used to configure what parameters the selected drive menu 0 parameters point to.
For example to configure a synchronized cyclic link with control word and speed
reference the following parameters would be required:

7.4 Non-cyclic data access
Unidrive M supports the use of non-cyclic data access by user programs.
By simply enabling non-cyclic data (Non-cyclic mode enabled (S.02.035)) and
specifying a base parameter (Non-cyclic base parameter (S.02.036)), a user program
can be used to read or write a parameter either locally in the host drive or option
module, or in another drive or option module on the network.

Table 7.7 Non-cyclic data parameter functions

Parameter Function Bits

0 = No command
1 = Check / Abort
Command 0 to 7 (LSB)
2 = Read one parameter
3 = Write one parameter
Base address
(S.02.036) 0 = Idle
1 = Ready
Status 2 = Processing 8 to 15 (MSB)
3 = OK
4 = Error
Base address + 1 Destination IP address wwwxxx 0 to 15
Base address + 2 Destination IP address yyyzzz 0 to 15
Base address + 3 Parameter address SMM 0 to 15
Base address + 4 Parameter address PPP 0 to 15
Base address + 5 Parameter value LSW or error code 0 to 15
Base address + 6 Parameter value MSW 0 to 15

The base address specifies the first parameter in a group of seven consecutive
parameters that will be used to read from or write to a parameter in the drive or option
module at the specified IP address by a user program.
The non-cyclic data access feature operates on a “state machine” principle, this means
that the commands must be sent in the correct sequence otherwise the parameter
access will fail.
The following diagram illustrates the operation of the non-cyclic parameter access state
machine.

 7.4.1 Setting the destination node IP address
When setting the destination node IP address parameters, each parameter contains two
octets of the IP address. i.e. the most significant two octets (www.xxx) of the IP address
is written to the base address + 1 parameter and the least significant two octets
(yyy.zzz) of the IP address is written to the base address + 2 parameter.
Because each octet is an unsigned byte and the parameter used to store the combined
value is a signed 16-bit parameter, the following sequence must be used:
Base address + 1 (www.xxx)
1. “www” – bit shift left 8 times, clear upper 16 bits and lower 8 bits
2. “xxx” – clear upper 24 bits
3. Bitwise OR the two values
4. Correct the result for negative value

Base address + 2 (yyy.zzz)

1. “yyy” – bit shift left 8 times, clear upper 16 bits and lower 8 bits
2. “zzz” – clear upper 24 bits
3. Bitwise OR the two values
4. Correct the result for negative value

As an example, the following code may be used in the user program:

// Set the IP address

WWWXXX% = ((www% << 8) & 0x0000FF00) | (xxx% & 0x000000FF)
YYYZZZ% = ((yyy% << 8) & 0x0000FF00) | (zzz% & 0x000000FF)
// Handle the casting from 32bit variable to 16bit parameter
IF WWWXXX% > 32767 THEN
// Subtract 65536
WWWXXX% = WWWXXX% - 65536

7.4.5 Reading the parameter value

The required parameter value is read from two signed 16-bit values, these two values
must then be correctly merged to form the correct 32-bit value.
Base address + 5 (LSW)
The least significant word of the parameter value is read and converted from a signed
16-bit value and stored in a 32-bit variable, this value is then bitwise ANDed with the
hexadecimal value 0x0000FFFF.
If an error is indicated in the status value then this value will identify the cause of the
error.
Base address + 6 (MSW)
The most significant word of the parameter value is read and converted from a signed
16-bit value and stored in a 32-bit variable by bitwise shifting it 16 places left and
bitwise ANDing the result with the hexadecimal value 0x0000FFFF.
The actual value is then calculated by bitwise ORing the two words together.
If the source parameter was a 16-bit parameter and the most significant bit (b15) was
set to 1 (indicating a negative number) then the decimal value 65536 is subtracted.

7.5.1 Requested Packet Interval (RPI) timeout
This timeout is defined by the EtherNet/IP protocol and is configured in the PLC master.
If enabled, the Ethernet interface will monitor the data traffic once the cyclic data has
been established, and if data is not received within the specified time, it will perform the
requested action as defined by Pr S.20.011 RPI timeout action. This indicates that the
interface has detected that the cyclic data communication has been interrupted.

NOTE The RPI timeout action will only occur on a loss of cyclic data message, i.e. after cyclic
data has been established and subsequently lost. No action will be taken if no cyclic data
has been detected.
7.5.2 Read consistency
Under normal conditions, cyclic data is sampled and transmitted at the Requested
Packet Interval (RPI). However, if an option module was in the process of modifying the
mapped parameters while these parameters were being sampled, then the data
transmitted across the network may not be consistent across the entire assembly
object. If read consistency is enabled (S.20.026 Input assembly object consistency
enable) and a trigger parameter specified in Input assembly object consistency trigger
parameter (S.20.027) then data will only be sampled and transmitted when the trigger
parameter Input assembly object consistency trigger parameter (S.20.027) contains a
non-zero value. This trigger parameter will then be set to zero after the data has been
sampled.
It is therefore possible, by controlling the trigger parameters, that a user program in the
drive or option module can ensure that the values in the cyclic data parameters are not
sampled until all values are updated.
Whether consistency is enabled or not, data will always be consistent for an individual
parameter, i.e. all 4 bytes of a 32-bit value will be consistent.

but is transmitted automatically at the determined rate once configuration is complete.
EtherNet/IP transfers cyclic data using assembly objects, “cyclic data” is sometimes
referred to as “Polled data” or “implicit data”.
The terms “input” and “output” refer to data from the perspective of the PLC, an “output”
assembly object transfers data from the PLC to the drive, an “input” assembly object

transfers data from the drive to the PLC.

NOTE Some PLCs provide the option of transmitting a configuration assembly object. The
Diagnostics

Ethernet interface does not use a configuration object; if one is required by the PLC then
instance 1 should be specified with a length of 0 bytes.

7.5.6 Configuring EtherNet/IP cyclic parameters

Glossary of
terms

In order to use cyclic data over EtherNet/IP, the EtherNet/IP interface must be
configured to map the required parameter data to the assembly object.
For drive parameter access, object 100 (0x64) is used for reading parameters and
object 101 (0x65) is used for writing parameters. The pre-defined assembly objects as
Index

listed in Table 7.8 Supported drive assembly objects can also be configured as cyclic
data.

 7.5.7 Configuring the PLC
Due to the many different makes of PLCs available, the information in this section may
not be relevant to all types of PLCs. The information supplied in this section relates to
the “ControlLogix” family of controllers supplied by “Allen Bradley”.

NOTE Although the Allen Bradley PLCs are mentioned in this document, this does not repre-
sent an endorsement of any particular PLC type or PLC manufacturer.

When configuring the PLC for cyclic communication with Unidrive M, the length of each
parameter data word and the number of parameters must be specified correctly, Figure
7-5, shows the PLC configuration for 20 input parameters and 20 output parameters, as
each parameter consists of 32 bits (4 bytes), the length of each data word should be set
to 32 bits (DINT - double integer word).
The length of each data word must normally be configured when the Ethernet module is
created within the PLC and can not be changed. If a different length is required then a
new Ethernet module must be created.
In order to communicate with the Unidrive M, the PLC must have the Ethernet IP
address set correctly as illustrated in Figure 7-5.
Figure 7-5 PLC configuration

7.5.8 Assembly objects

An assembly object is an object which contains a group of attributes to control or
monitor the drive operation. These attributes can be members of EtherNet/IP objects or
drive parameters. The Ethernet interface supports a series of standard assembly
objects and two Control Techniques objects (100 and 101) to access the drive
parameters (see Table 7.8 Supported drive assembly objects on page 149).
NOTE Conformance with the pre-defined assembly objects specification can only be guaran-
teed if the speed reference configuration of the drive has not been changed from the de-
fault settings. For information on setting default values, refer to the appropriate drive user
guide.

 7.5.22 Control Techniques objects
The Control Techniques objects (classes 0x64 to 0x69) allow access to all drive and
option module parameters. The class instance number is used to reference the drive or
option module menu number (except menu 0) and the class attribute number
references the parameter within that menu.
For example, the drive parameter Percentage Load (0.04.020) would be accessed as
class 0x64, instance 0x04 and attribute 0x14.
An instance value of 0 is invalid therefore to allow access to menu 0 parameters, the
instance value 200 (0xC8) must be used.
The number of instances and therefore the number of menus for each class depends
on the destination device. If the drive is the destination then the number of menus will
depend on the drive operating mode. If the destination is one of the option slots (or
onboard Ethernet interface) then the number of menus depends on the type of option
module fitted (or the onboard Ethernet interface).
Six individual classes are provided, the following table shows the classes used when
accessing the drive or option module parameters.

9 Security
9.1 Introduction
On open networked systems it is important that security is considered. Security covers
aspects such as access to devices using passwords, network infrastructure, company
procedures and backup procedures.
The physical system security should be enforced with acceptable user policies and
appropriate employee guidelines.

9.2 General site security issues

9.2.1 Connecting your computer
It is important to remember that when connecting your computer to an existing network
you will have an impact on the data and services on that network. Particular care should
be taken not to interrupt the flow of data by disconnecting cables, powering down
switches/routers, or interrupting data flow by sending large amounts of data over the
network.

9.2.2 Virus considerations

Connecting your computer to a network carries the risk of transferring computer viruses
to other computers on that network. It is vital that when connecting to a network you
ensure that your anti-virus software is up to date and activated. Many operating system
vendors offer regular product updates to increase stability and reduce the risk of
malicious programs causing damage to your corporate infrastructure.

NOTE The use of a quality anti-virus solution on any networked system is recommended. The
overall network security policy resides with the network administrators and any connec-
tions to a network should be approved by the network administrators.

9.2.3 Firewall issues

When a high level of security is required between the automation network and the
business network a firewall should be used. This helps prevent unwanted traffic passing
between the networks and can be used to restrict access to certain machines or users.

NOTE Some managed switches provide control methods for network traffic, however a firewall
offers significantly more features. Configuration of a switch or firewall is beyond the
scope of this document.

9.3 Default restrictions

By default, all supported protocols are available. This can be changed using the
relevant protocol menu.
