Section 1 Introduction
Overview
The Industrial Ethernet Protocol (EtherNet/IP) is the combination of traditional
Ethernet and an industrial application layer protocol, called the Common Industrial
Protocol (CIP). EtherNet/IP is used in industrial automation applications.
DeviceNet is a low-level industrial application layer protocol, based on Common
Industrial Protocol, for industrial automation applications. DeviceNet is built on the
standard Controller Area Network (CAN).
Both EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet have several features in common with CIP. Both
serve as communication networks between industrial controllers and I/O devices.
CI873 Communication Interface Module
EtherNet/IP device interfaces with the AC 800M controller, through the CI873
communication interface module. CI873 acts as an EtherNet/IP I/O scanner class
device. It originates connections to EtherNet/IP enabled devices and exchanges real
time I/O data with them.
The CI873 communication interface provides the following functionalities:
•
Configuration of EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices.
•
CI873 as EtherNet/IP I/O scanner.
•
I/O communication with EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices using Class 1
connection.
•
Status supervision of CI873, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, and Linking devices.
CI873 originate a Class 1 connection to Linking device (LD 800DN) for
DeviceNet device status.
•
Hot swap of CI873, LD 800DN, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP devices.

Linking Device LD 800DN
The linking device LD 800DN functions as an EtherNet/IP target on the EtherNet
network. It acts as a gateway device by forwarding the content of the messages from
EtherNet/IP networks to DeviceNet networks and vice-versa, without acting on the
content of the messages.
The LD 800DN Linking device acts as the DeviceNet Master in the DeviceNet
network, allowing connectivity to 63 DeviceNet slave devices.
Device Import Wizard
For configuring EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices using Control Builder, the
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file of the device is required. The EDS file is a
specially formatted ASCII file of the device, defining its characteristics. The device
vendor provides this file, to allow access to device configuration parameters. The
Device Import Wizard, an integrated component of the Control Builder, allows
importing of such EDS files into the hardware library.
20
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 1 Introduction
Device Import Wizard
The Device Import Wizard essentially converts the device description files (EDS
files) of EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices into hardware unit types. These unit
types are then instantiated in the Hardware tree of Control Builder.
The configuration of the CI873 communication interface, linking devices, EtherNet/IP
devices and DeviceNet devices are done through the Control Builder. Figure 1
illustrates a possible system configuration scenario.

EtherNet/IP Embedded Switch Technology Overview
EtherNet/IP Embedded Switch Technology Overview
The EtherNet/IP embedded switch technology offers alternative network topologies
for interconnecting EtherNet/IP devices by embedding switches into the end
devices.
EtherNet/IP Star Topology
The traditional EtherNet/IP network topology has been a star, where end devices are
connected and communicate with each other via a switch. The Figure 2 below
shows an EtherNet/IP star configuration.

Linear Network
Section 1 Introduction
Linear Network
Embedded switch technology is designed to enable end devices to form linear and
ring network topologies.
Products with EtherNet/IP embedded switch technology have two ports to
connect to a linear or DLR network in a single subnet.
You cannot use these ports as two Network Interface Cards (NICs) connected to
two different subnets.
A linear network is a collection of devices that are daisy-chained together. The
EtherNet/IP embedded switch technology lets you implement this topology at the
device level. No additional switches are required.
200-AENTR is a device that can be connected linear.

Section 1 Introduction
Linear Network
The following are advantages of a linear network:
•
Simple installation.
•
Reduced wiring and installation costs.
•
No special software configuration required.
•
Improved CIP Sync application performance on linear networks.
The primary disadvantage of a linear network is that any break of the cable
disconnects all devices downstream from the break from the rest of the network.

User Interface
Section 2 Functional Description
User Interface
This section describes the user interface for the protocol, such as hardware units and
their configuration parameters, status, alarms, and events.
Hardware Tree
The Hardware Tree is a hierarchical representation of information in the Control
Builder. The configuration of the controller, the Communication interfaces and the
devices and I/O modules under it is specified in the hardware tree. Configuration
information is provided at each level in the hardware tree.
Figure 4 shows the typical hardware tree for CI873, depicting the DeviceNet and
EtherNet/IP device unit types imported into hardware library using EDS files. The
CI873 represents an EtherNet/IP I/O scanner which originates the CIP connections.
All the devices configured under CI873 represent targets to which the I/O scanner
establishes the connections. Each device is represented with one hardware unit
which contains the configuration related parameters to be downloaded to the device.
The hardware unit also contains connection related parameters to establish
connections to the device, and I/O channels to view the I/O data.
The CI873EthernetIPHWLib contains the hardware units for CI873, CI873 Scanner
Diagnostics, LD 800DN linking device, and LD 800DN diagnostics.

CI873 Connections
Section 2 Functional Description
CI873 Connections
All connections between the CI873 EtherNet/IP I/O scanner and the EtherNet/IP
targets (like LD 800DN linking devices) can be categorized as I/O connections (also
called, implicit connections).
The following chart categorizes the message transport classes supported by
EtherNet/IP:
Explicit Messaging
Unscheduled TCP/IP
Implicit Data Transfer
Scheduled UDP/IP
Unconnected
UCMM
n/a
Connected
Class 3
Class 1
Implicit Messaging (Class1)
Implicit messaging connections are used for real time I/O data transfer and is
transmitted via UDP.
Class 1 can be either be tag based or connection point based.
30
•
Also known as I/O messaging. Implicit messages are exchanged across I/O
connections with an associated connection ID. The connection ID defines the
meaning of the data and establishes the regular or repeated transport rate and
the transport class. It can be point-to-point or multicast.
•
Used to transmit time critical I/O data as it is faster than Class 3.
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 2 Functional Description
CI873 Connections
Explicit Messaging (Class 3 or UCMM)
Unconnected explicit messaging is used for configuration. It is transmitted over a
TCP connection.
•
Explicit messages provide a one-time transport of data item. They can be sent
as connected or unconnected. These messages are typically point-to-point.
•
Explicit messages provide the typical request or response-oriented network
communications.
•
Predominantly used for device configuration and diagnostics.
For class 3, communication is tag based.
CIP Connection Time-out Calculation
The Requested Packet Interval (RPI) is the requested time interval between packets
in case of Implicit communication for I/O data transfer. In the T -> O RPI
parameter on the EtherNet/IP target, the time interval between packets received by
CI873 EtherNet/IP I/O scanner from target, can be configured.
T -> O RPI value should suit the requirement of the application. The lowest value
configurable to this parameter is 10ms, which results in the fastest possible
communication.
9ARD000014-600 A
31
CI873 Connections
Section 2 Functional Description
For example, in case of LD 800DN linking device, where T -> O RPI is set to 10ms.
The time out multiplier is preset at 2 (not configurable by user). The Time Out value
is derived from the following formula:
Time Out value = T -> O RPI * Time Out Multiplier = 40ms.
So, if the CI873 EtherNet/IP I/O scanner does not receive any packets from LD

CI873 Module Redundancy
In CI873 module redundancy functionality, there is primary and backup CI873
modules available in the network. When the Configuration is downloaded from
Control Builder, the primary and backup CI873 modules are configured with
primary and backup IP address respectively. Both primary and backup modules
receive the configuration data, and store them in their internal structures. During a
failure of primary CI873 module, the back up CI873 module takes over and all
connections are synchronized with the back up CI873 module. This leads to
continuous I/O communication with minimal downtime.
The module redundancy also works with the slave devices, irrespective if the slave
supports redundant connection from the master. This is because at any time there
shall only be single connection from the primary CI873 to the slave.
Hot Swap
This section describes the hot swap functionality for CI873, DeviceNet devices,
EtherNet/IP devices, and LD 800DN linking devices.
42
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 2 Functional Description
Hot Swap of CI873
Hot Swap of CI873
CI873 supports hot swap. The faulty unit can be replaced online, without disturbing
other units connected to the CEX bus.
After hot removal, the connected I/O channels are marked bad and IEC 1131
variables are set to last good value. Following the subsequent insertion, the new
CI873 gets configured automatically.
In case of redundant CI873, after hot removal of primary CI873, the back up CI873
will take over the EtherNet/IP network and establish the I/O connections.
When CI873 is hot swapped, there shall be a re-configuration of all devices
(EtherNet/IP as well as DeviceNet) under it.
The following conditions exists when the CI873 device is not responding or is not
available in the network:
•
The device configuration is skipped, if the CI873 device fails to connect for 3
times. The Unit Status of CI873 /alarm displays Waiting for Hardware
Initialization, until CI873 boots-up.
•
During this error status, the I/O value update to the application stops.
•
The error status continues to display Waiting for Hardware
Initialization on the CI873, when the cable connected to the CI873 is
removed followed by the hot swap of CI873. During this, the status of the
devices under CI873 is not updated in Control Builder. The error status is reset
on CI873 and the status of devices under CI873 is updated, when the cable is
connected back to the CI873.
The time taken for the CI873 to boot up after a hot insert depends on the hardware
tree, that is, the number of devices connected under the CI873.
The maximum time taken by CI873 for boot-up is 3 minutes. In addition to this
boot-up time, the CI873 takes some time to establish communication
(EtherNet/IP Communication) with the devices configured under it.
The time required for CI873 to boot up shall also depends on the configuration of
the devices after the hot insert. If an device is not physically available, the time
required for configuration increases as it would wait for time-out for the device.
9ARD000014-600 A
43
Hot Swap of LD 800DN
Section 2 Functional Description
Hot Swap of LD 800DN
LD 800DN devices supports hot swap. Faulty units can be replaced online and
status is communicated to the CI873. After the hot insertion of new linking device
unit, CI873 configures the linking device automatically.
The new linking device replacing the faulty unit should be configured with the
same IP address and MAC ID used previously.
Hot Swap of DeviceNet Devices
Hot swap of DeviceNet devices is supported through the Automatic Device
Recovery (ADR) feature of the LD 800DN linking device. Faulty units can be
replaced online without disturbing the communication with other DeviceNet slaves
in the network.
Automatic Device Recovery
Automatic Device Recovery (ADR) is a feature of the LD 800DN linking device.
This feature allows a DeviceNet slave node to be replaced with another device of the
same type.
In this feature, if a DeviceNet slave device drops off the network due to fault or
power loss, and is replaced with another device of the same type, then LD 800DN
automatically configures the new device (the replacement) to the MAC ID address
downloaded for the device in the Control Builder.
The ADR feature consists of Address Recovery and Configuration Recovery.
Address Recovery automatically sets the address of the new slave device to that of
the slave device which has lost communication, provided the new device is inserted
at MAC ID 63. Address Recovery is enabled by enabling the ADR parameter of the
LD 800DN.
Configuration Recovery automatically configures the new slave device to the
settings of the slave device it replaces. For enabling Configuration Recovery, both
the ADR parameter of the LD 800DN and the Config Recovery parameter of the
associated DeviceNet device should be enabled.
When a DeviceNet slave is replaced with a new one, the linking device LD 800DN
checks the identity of the new device before performing any operation. The extent of
44
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 2 Functional Description
Hot Swap of EtherNet/IP Device
check done depends on the Electronic Key parameters enabled. For more details on
the Electronic Key parameters, refer to Electronic Key Parameters on page 124.
When the DeviceNet IP device is removed and re-inserted, it shall be 
re-configured only if the address recovery for the LD800DN and the Config
recovery for the device are enabled.
For details on the ADR parameter, refer Configuring LD 800DN Linking Device
Unit on page 110.
For details on the parameter for Configuration Recovery, refer Configuring a
DeviceNet Slave Device Unit on page 122.
Address recovery will not work for DeviceNet device which has physical
switches/jumpers for setting MAC address. It works for DeviceNet devices whose
MAC address can be dynamically set, either from the LD 800DN Web interface,
or by any device specific configuration tools, for example, RSNetworks for
DeviceNet.
When wrong MAC ID is specified in the Control Builder configuration it is
detected through the MAC ID check and shown error on the linking device. But
the communication between linking device and DeviceNet devices happens at the
right MAC ID configured at the linking device level and the communication
between communication interface and linking device is using IP address so there
will not be any problem.
Hot Swap of EtherNet/IP Device
EtherNet/IP devices supports hot swap. Faulty units can be replaced online without
disturbing the communication with other EtherNet/IP slaves in the network.
When the EtherNet/IP device is removed and re-inserted, it shall be re-configured
again by the CI873.

Section 3 Device Import Wizard
Introduction
The Device Import Wizard is an integrated component of the Control Builder. It
converts the device description files (EDS files) of EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet
devices into hardware unit types. These unit types can be instantiated in the
Hardware tree of the Control Builder.
While converting the EDS files of EtherNet/IP into hardware unit types, it is
possible to add Class 3 and Class 1 connections with tag information. For more
information refer, Allen Bradley Logix 5000 Series PLCs on page 81.
EDS File Content
The EDS file should have specific contents to establish connection with the devices.
EDS file for an Ethernet/IP device
The Connection Manager section in EDS is required to establish connection and
communication to the device. And for configuration, Parameter section is required.
EDS file for an Allen Bradley Logix 5000 series PLC
Tag based Class 1 connection information should be available in EDS file of the
Logix 5000 Controllers for communication with CI873.
EDS file for a DeviceNet device
The IO_Info section in EDS is required to establish connection to the device.
The DIW uses the following rules in case there are vendor specific keywords in
DeviceNet EDS files for connections:
9ARD000014-600 A
47
EDS File Content
Section 3 Device Import Wizard
•
If the EDS file has both normal connections as well as vendor specific
connections, the DIW considers the normal connections while generating the
hardware file. The vendor specific connections are ignored. If the EDS file has
only vendor specific connections, then the vendor specific connections will be
considered while generating the hardware file.
•
DIW supports vendor specific connections provided the fields for these
connections in the EDS file are as per the CIP specification. Else the import is
aborted with a message mentioning that the vendor connection fields are not as
per the CIP specification.
If the EDS file does not have relevant sections as mentioned above related to
connection, the import process of that EDS file is aborted.

I/O Settings
The EDS file import - I/O Settings window is used to assign conversion rules for
the input and output area. Based on the conversion rule assigned for the input and
output area, the input and output channels are created.
In certain cases, the assembly definition in the respective EDS file(s), provides the
necessary information regarding creation of channels. In such cases the input and
output channels may get configured prior to entering the I/O Settings window.
The following I/O Settings window is for a DeviceNet device non-modular EDS

Under each product name/catalog number in the tree view, one or more of the
following trigger types is/are listed:

Section 3 Device Import Wizard
•
Strobe - Multi-cast message starts the scan cycle. Strobe-able slaves respond,
based on their latency.
•
Poll - The Master queries each sensor/actuator according to the polling list.
Polls are sent out even as strobe responses are being received, as much as
bandwidth allows.
•
COS - A device reports its data only when there is a change. This is considered
more efficient since only data changes are transmitted. It can be used along
with Poll or Strobe.
•
Cyclic - Devices report data on a user-configured, time-increment basis (input
or output). Cyclic data production is considered more efficient for applications
with slowly changing analog I/O.
For DeviceNet modules, avoid selecting COS and Cyclic modes simultaneously,
as this is not allowed on DeviceNet networks.
The tree view has check mark icons beside the product names/catalog numbers and
the trigger types. The color of a check mark icon indicates the following:
•
Green - Indicates that the complete I/O area of this specific connection has
already been assigned to I/O channels.
•
Orange - Indicates that some, but not all, of the I/O channels have been created.

is enabled. If the I/O connection has only output area, then only Customize
Output and View is enabled. If the I/O connection has both input and output
area, then both buttons are enabled.
If the number of bytes, chosen as per the rule are unavailable, then the wizard
does not create any channels of the chosen data type.

•
Input Only- A specific implementation may limit the number of input only
connections it accepts. In addition, the target may accept listen only
connections that use the same multicast T=>O data.
•
Listen Only- A target may accept multiple listen only connections which
specify the same T=>O path. Devices that wish to listen to multicast data
without providing configuration may use this application type. Is the last
connection on which a listen only connection depends is closed or times out,
the target device shall stop sending the T=>O data which will result in the
listen only connection being timed our by the originator device.
•
Redundant Owner- The redundant owner connection shall allow multiple
separate originator applications to each establish an independent, identical
connection to the transport of a target application.The target transport shall in
turn send events to the target application so that the redundant owner
connection appears as a single, exclusive owner connection to the target
application.

Scaling for DeviceNet Devices
Scaling is handled in the following ways for DeviceNet devices:
•
For each of the trigger type that is supported by the device, the assembly being
referenced in the input/output area is scanned for the presence of scaling
parameter.
•
The information of the scanned parameter is then used as the scaling parameter
for all the channels that are created from that particular assembly.
•
The scaling is done for both the input and output channels.

Scaling for EtherNet/IP Devices
Scaling is handled in the following ways for EtherNet/IP devices:
•
The assembly being referenced in the connection manager is for the O->T and
T->O is scanned for the presence of the scaling parameter.
•
The information of the scanned parameter is then used as the scaling parameter
for all the channels that are created from that particular assembly.
•
The scaling is done for both the input and output channels.
Specifying Status and Signal Range Parameters for Channels
The Status parameters and Signal Range parameters are set in the Advanced settings
with status window, while configuring input and output areas for analog and digital
channels.
For digital channels, only Status parameters can be defined. For analog channels
input area configuration, both Status and Signal Range parameters can be defined.
For analog channels output area configuration, only Signal Range parameters can be
defined.
Status Parameter
Status Parameter is set by defining a status bit for a channel. This status bit indicates
the status of the channel – whether the channel data is in correct or in corrupted
state. The status bit hence determines whether or not the channel data is fit to be
transferred from the controller to the application.
For a particular connection type, select the status bit for a parameter from the
available input/output bits only. Select the status bit for a particular channel
according to the instructions present in the Device manual. If a bit is selected as a
status bit for a particular channel, then the bit cannot be used again for channel data
in the same connection type. The bits selected as status bits cannot be assigned
again to other channels either. Refer the following example for better understanding.
Assume there is 1byte to indicate a connection. This means that there are only 8 bits
to both define the channels and specify the status of those channels. In such a case,
for 1Byte of data the status bits can be set as illustrated in Figure 45.
98
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 3 Device Import Wizard
I/O Settings
Figure 45. Sample allocation of Status bits and Data bits for a channel
Select any of the bits displayed as the status bit for any particular channel. As seen
in Figure 45, the 0th bit channel has the status parameter as 7th bit and 1st bit
channel has the status parameter as 6th bit and so on. This means that the 7th bit
determines the availability of the 0th bit, and the 1st bit determines the availability
of the 6th bit, and so on. Here the bits 4,5,6,7 cannot be used for channel data.
The example provided for setting up the Status parameters is generic and for
illustration only. Before setting up the Status parameters for a particular device,
refer the device's manual provided by the device vendor.
Signal Range Parameter
The Signal Range parameter is defined by selecting a suitable range from the Range
Parameter drop-down list box. The list contains possible signal ranges, each of
which have pre-defined minimum and maximum values specified in the
corresponding HWD file.

Section 4 Configuration
Introduction
The Configuration section contains the configurations to be made from Control
Builder when setting up EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet networks.
Hardware Libraries
Hardware libraries are required for configuring CI873 and the hardware types of
EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices.
Insert the hardware library CI873EthernetHwLib in the project and add it under
Connected Libraries in the Controller in Control Builder.
For more information about handling hardware libraries, refer to System 800xA
Control, AC 800M Configuration (3BSE035980*).
CI873 Hardware units
The CI873EthernetIPHWLib contains the hardware units for CI873, Linking Device
and their diagnostics.
The EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices need to be inserted in under CI873 in
hardware tree. Before importing the EDS files of EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, I/O
devices, user has to create new hardware library, if not exist, and then import the
EDS files into user created hardware library. Once the EDS file import is
successful then the hardware units for corresponding devices are created in the
user created library.

the hardware tree position.
If the IP address was already set using the BridgeWay Configuration tool, then the same value needs to be put in
here. If it's left blank, the LD 800DN needs to inserted at the position equal to the last byte of this IP address. If the
IP address updated into this parameter doesn't match the actual IP address set to the linking device, then no
communication happens. The unit status shows the error 'Device not found'.
(2) The MAC ID set for the LD 800DN using the BridgeWay Configuration tool needs to be entered here. If the MAC ID
entered here is different, then communication does not happen.
(3) For more details on the ADR feature, refer Automatic Device Recovery on page 210.
The LD 800DN may not detect hot insertion of a device at MAC ID 63, even
when Automatic Device Recovery is enabled. Consider a case, where two
identical DeviceNet devices configured at different MAC ID positions, for
example, 1 and 2 are removed and one of them is inserted back at MAC ID
position 63. Here, the LD 800DN may not detect the device. The status of the
inserted DeviceNet device will be seen as DeviceNotFound.

LD 800DN Timing Parameters
A direct correlation exists between the following LD 800DN timing parameters:
•
Foreground to Background Poll Ratio.
•
Inter Scan Delay and their corresponding Expected Packet Rate value.
The following conditions need to be satisfied for a successful communication in
DeviceNet devices:
•
If the Strobe connection is enabled or the Polled connection is enabled with
Poll Type set as Poll Every Scan Cycle, then
((Inter Scan Delay) <= (Expected Packet Rate))
•
If the Polled connection is enabled with Poll Type set as Poll At Background
Rate, then
((Foreground to Background Poll Ratio * Inter Scan

The Control Builder checks the above correlation between the parameters based on
the connections enabled on the DeviceNet devices. The download is aborted with an
error message if the conditions are not satisfied.

the DeviceNet device and the linking device LD 800DN. The communication
related parameters depend on the type of connection trigger types supported by the
slave device. The four possible connection types that can be supported by a device
are:
•
9ARD000014-600 A
Poll Connection (see Poll Connection on page 126)
125
Communication Related Parameters
Section 4 Configuration
•
Change Of State (COS) Connection (see COS Connection on page 127)
•
Strobe Connection (see Strobe Connection on page 128)
•
Cyclic Connection (see Cyclic Connection on page 129)
The communication between CI873 and LD800DN work properly when the
CI873 is flooded with
- Ethernet /ARP/IP/ICMP/TCP packets at the rate less than 9Mbps (13500
packets/sec).
- UDP packets @rate less than 4500 packets/sec.
Poll Connection
The Poll Connection parameters in the hardware editor are described in Table 19.
Upon modification of editable parameters, the connection between LD 800DN and
all DeviceNet slaves configured under it, stops momentarily.

Section 5 Run-Time Operation
This section describes the run-time behavior of DeviceNet device, LD 800DN
linking device, and EtherNet/IP device, and provides guidelines for operating these
devices during re-import and re-configuration.
Run-Time Behavior
The run-time behavior of DeviceNet device, LD 800DN linking device, and
EtherNet/IP device are:
•
When a DeviceNet device configured in Control Builder, does not match with
the DeviceNet device available in the network, the device status shown in
Control Builder is I/O Connection Error and not Wrong Device Type.
•
If the connection between LD 800DN and CI873 is lost or connection between
LD 800DN and configured DeviceNet slaves is lost, then IEC 1131 variables
connected to input channels of DeviceNet slaves get set to last good value.
•
Consider an LD 800DN, with either DeviceNet devices or Modular I/O devices
is configured under it. On checking the diagnostic information channel of the
LD 800DN in Control Builder, there may be increase in the value of Number of
lost EtherNet/IP messages on the LD 800DN. To reduce the number of lost
message packets, increase the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) value. The RPI
value can be increased from 10 (minimum) to 500 (maximum). By increasing
the RPI value, it helps in reducing/stopping the increase in the number of lost
packets.
•
Error is not set for EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet devices if the configuration is
cold downloaded or CI873 is hot swaped with its Ethernet cable removed.
However, if the cable is removed during run time, all the slave devices under
CI873 are updated with the connection related status.
9ARD000014-600 A
165
Run-Time Behavior
166
Section 5 Run-Time Operation
•
"Wrong MAC ID" Error status is not set in Unit Status for the LD 800DN in
Control Builder, if the user specifies a MAC ID for the LD 800DN, and this
MAC ID is already set for a physically available DeviceNet device on the
network but not available in the Control builder configuration that has been
downloaded to the LD 800DN.
•
When the communication of DeviceNet devices is working properly with 
LD 800DN, if the MAC ID is changed to a wrong MAC ID and configuration is
downloaded, then the Unit Status for the LD 800DN in Control Builder shows
error for Wrong MAC ID. However, the communication between LD 800DN
and DeviceNet devices continues as before the MAC ID was changed. The
communication between CI873 and LD 800DN is also not affected.
•
Some devices do not accept configuration of some parameters from CI873
when the connection to the device is already established. For such devices,
when there is power reset for the ethernet switch or CI873 ethernet cable
removal and insertion, connection is re-established to the device followed by
configuration of the parameters. Since some of the parameters for such a device
is not configured, the "Internal Config Error" warning is shown. 
To overcome this, perform the following:
–
Perform a hot swap of CI873, the configuration is downloaded before the
connection is established. Hence all device configuration parameters are
accepted by the device and the Unit status does not displays the "Internal
Config Error" warning.
–
Move that specific device to another position in Control Builder, and
download followed by changing it back to original position.
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 5 Run-Time Operation
Run-Time Behavior
•
Address recovery will not work for DeviceNet device which has physical
switches/jumpers for setting MAC address. It works for DeviceNet devices
whose MAC address can be dynamically set from either the LD 800DN Web
interface or by any device specific configuration tools, for example,
RSNetworks for DeviceNet.
•
For any errors for DeviceNet devices that is reported in Unit Status in Control
Builder, due to communication break between the LD 800DN and the device,
the user can still force a value into the output channel of the device from
Control Builder or from the 1131 application. This output channel value shall
be written into the LD 800DN. This value shall be written into the device once
the communication between the LD 800DN and the device is restored.
Some devices like Allen Bradley PLC do not support client CI873 going offline
without closing existing connection. Since, the existing connections of such
devices with CI873 are not closed when the latter is hot removed, this could lead
to connection starvation. The error/status that is displayed in the Unit Status of
such device is, No more consumer resources available in the
producing object.
Therefore, communication with such devices may fail during the hot swap of the
CI873 module.
The DeviceNet EDS file could have a configuration parameters related to Safer
State Value (or a 'Fault Action' parameter) that can be configured to 'Clear data' or
'Hold last value', in case the deviceNet device looses communication with LD
800DN.
User needs to configure the configuration parameters for the channels of the
device have desired result.
9ARD000014-600 A
167
Guidelines for Re-import and Re-configuration
Section 5 Run-Time Operation
The EDS file of some device may have a lot of configuration parameters and
connections. In rare scenarios this would exceed the maximum configuration size
per device in control builder of 65535 bytes. If this happens, a compilation error
would be displayed when the user tries to download such a hardware type to the
controller and the download would be aborted.
User would then need to re-import the EDS file of such a device and delete some
parameters/ connection that are not required so as to bring the configuration size
of the device to acceptable limits.
Guidelines for Re-import and Re-configuration
This section describes the guidelines to be followed during re-import and reconfiguration.
Re-import
There is a possibility of I/O modules duplication within the same hardware library
during re-import.
Consider a modular import scenario in which certain I/O modules are selected to be
imported under the adapter, the hardware types for all the I/O modules are created in
the hardware library.
So all the I/O modules imported are available to be inserted in the hardware tree
under the adapter.
1.
168
Considering a modular re-import scenario, where, certain I/O modules are 
de-selected and only a subset of the modules are imported, which are currently
available under the adapter. These de-selected modules still appears under the
hardware library as they have not been physically deleted from the hardware
library.
However de-selected I/O modules cannot be added in the hardware tree under
the adapter. Hence, only the I/O modules being included or selected in the most
recent import of the adapter will be available for configuration under the
adapter.
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 5 Run-Time Operation
2.
Re-import
If in the next re-import if the de-selected modules from point 1 above are
selected again and the import is proceeded, the hardware types for the newly
selected I/O modules are created with new hardware ID's. If such I/O module
were already available under adapter in the hardware tree, they to be deleted
and has to be added again under the adapter.
When re-importing an EDS file, the name and location of the EDS file should be
same as the previously imported EDS files. If these are the same, then the Device
Import Wizard considers this as a re-import. Else the Device Import Wizard
considers this as a fresh import.
Hence, re-importing of an EDS file is not possible if the EDS file is renamed and
then re-imported.
The user can choose for fresh import instead of a re-import, if the newly created
hardware type has to coexist with old hardware type.
In case the configuration imported for EDS file is not correct, the hardware type
should not be deleted from the hardware library, after it has been created by
importing an EDS file in Control Builder.
Instead, to correct the configuration, re-import the EDS file in the same hardware
library, or create a new hardware library and import the EDS file under it.
9ARD000014-600 A
169
Re-configuration
Section 5 Run-Time Operation
Re-configuration
Re-configuration of DeviceNet Devices and LD 800DN
The following are the re-configuration scenarios when the connection between
linking device and all connected DeviceNet devices times out for a while and are
then reconnected:
•
Re-configuration of Connection related parameters (Scan list parameters) of
DeviceNet/LD 800DN
– When a connection related parameter is modified for a device in the
Control Builder.
– When parameters like Inter Scan Delay, Expected Packet Rate,
Foreground to Background Poll Ratio, ADR are changed for LD 800DN
in the Control Builder. See Updation of Scan List on DeviceNet Device
Parameter Change.
•
Re-configuring DeviceNet Parameters on LD 800DN. See Re-configuring
DeviceNet Parameters on LD 800DN.
During re-configuration, the DeviceNet communication is stopped and restarted
as the LD 800DN is put to Idle mode before modifying any configuration data on
LD 800DN. During such time, the input data from the DeviceNet slave devices to
the CI873 is not affected. However, there is no output data from the linking
device to the DeviceNet slave devices.
If the connections related to some DeviceNet devices are changed (if some
existing connection as disabled and others are enabled) as part of a 
re-configuration, the communication does not start with a new connection. 
The LD 800DN needs to be reset so as to establish communication with such
devices.
•
Adding/deleting DeviceNet devices online
– When a new DeviceNet device is configured or added in Control Builder.
– When a DeviceNet device is deleted in the Control Builder.
–
170
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 5 Run-Time Operation
Re-configuration
Updation of Scan List on DeviceNet Device Parameter Change
While re-configuration of a DeviceNet device, do not change the scan list
parameters, which are not associated with the connection trigger type to which
the DeviceNet device is configured initially.
For example, assume that the Poll connection trigger type is selected during
fresh configuration of DeviceNet device. During re-configuration, the scan list
parameters associated with the COS connection trigger type is changed, such
as Inhibit time and Acknowledgement time. These changed scan list
parameters are not associated with the Poll connection trigger type to which the
device is configured. Since, the CI873 does not verify whether the changed
parameters have any effect on the trigger type selected, the communication is
considered changed. As a result the scan list configured on the LD 800DN gets
updated, leading to the stoppage of communication in the DeviceNet network.
The Control Builder displays a warning indicating the break down of
communication.
Re-configuring DeviceNet Parameters on LD 800DN
Re-configuring the DeviceNet parameters on an LD 800DN does not disrupt
the flow of input data from the DeviceNet slave devices to the CI873. However,
the linking device has to be in Idle mode before modifying any configuration
data on it. There is no output data from the linking device to the DeviceNet
slave devices while the linking device is in Idle mode
Re-configuring LD 800DN by changing Baud Rate
If the baud rate of the LD 800DN is changed, then a matching baud rate change
should be made in all the DeviceNet devices connected to that LD 800DN. A
power recycle is then needed for these changes to take effect. A matching baud
rate change is not possible in DeviceNet devices which do not have any baud
rate option in its configuration parameters. As a result, such devices may
become incompatible with the LD 800DN's baud rate configuration. In such a
case, the error displayed is CAN Bus Off or DeviceNet MAC ID
initialization in progress.
Re-configuration of EtherNet/IP devices
When an EtherNet/IP device or EtherNet/IP modular IO is added /removed online,
then the communication with other EtherNet/IP devices will not be affected.

Online Upgrade and Coexistence
Section 5 Run-Time Operation
Online Upgrade and Coexistence
In the SV 6.0, there are two CI873 hardware libraries available in the 800xA system.
The usage of the two hardware libraries in the control builder projects will be as
follows:
1.
CI873EtherenetIPHwlib 1.x.: Used only when a coexistence download is done
from a SV 6.0 Control Builder project to a controller of SV 5.1 and rollups.
2.
CI873EtherenetIPHwlib 2.x.: Used in all other scenarios in SV 6.0 that
includes:
a.
Co-existence download from SV 6.0 Control Builder project to a
controller having SV 5.1 FP4.
b.
Online upgrade is done from SV 5.1 FP4 to SV 6.0.
c.
Online upgrade is done from SV 5.1 and rollups to SV 6.0.
When an online upgrade is done from SV 5.1 and rollups to SV 6.0, at step 7 of
the online upgrade, the trainee controller that has been upgraded with new
firmware would have become primary. The communication of CI873 with the
devices under it would stop, as the CI873 is still having old firmware. At step 8,
the firmware upgrade of the non-redundant CI873 would be done. After the
CI873 is upgraded with latest firmware, it shall boot up and restart
communication with devices under it. This is observed as the there is a major
version change of the CI873 hardware library in SV 6.0 compared to that in SV
5.1 and rollups.

Configuration
Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN
Configuration
This section describes the configuration of the LD 800DN Ethernet to DeviceNet
linking device.
BridgeWay Configuration Tool
Before configuring the LD 800DN in the Control Builder and going online, it should
be configured with an IP Address and MAC ID. This is done by using the
BridgeWay Configuration tool.
The BridgeWay Configuration is a Microsoft Windows application that
communicates with the LD 800DN over a standard RS-232 serial link, using the PC
serial port or USB serial adapter.
The BridgeWay Configuration must be used only for setting the IP address, MAC
ID and upgrading the firmware. Making any other changes will cause a conflict
with the settings downloaded from CI873.
Installing BridgeWay Configuration Tool
To install BridgeWay Configuration from the System 800xA Media, run Setup.exe
available in the following directory of the System 800xA Media:
•
For Control Builder Professional:
\Engineering & Development\Control Builder M\Tools\
LD800DN\ConfigurationTool
•
For Compact Control Builder:
\Tools\ABB\LD800DN\ConfigurationTool.
Connecting to the LD 800DN Module
Connect the system, in which BridgeWay Configuration is run, to the LD 800DN
module by using a standard Null-Modem (pin 2 and pin 3) serial cable. This cable
should connect the PC serial port (or the USB serial adapter, if used) to the 9 pin DSub connector on the module.
BridgeWay Configuration scans for each available port, detects the connection and
automatically sets the baud rate.

4.
Click Download to Module from the Configuration menu, to initiate
download of the new configuration to the LD 800DN linking device. On
clicking Download to Module, a dialog box with the following message is
displayed:
Downloading the configuration may cause the device to
reset or active connections to be interrupted. Do you wish
to continue?
Click Yes if you wish to continue with the download.
5.
The LD 800DN is automatically reset after the IP Address and MAC ID
configuration is downloaded from the BridgeWay Configuration tool.
Apart from using the BridgeWay Configuration tool, other methods to set the IP
Address of the linking device are:
•
Setting IP Address using LD 800DN DIP Switch on page 179
•
Setting the IP Address through the Web Page on page 180
Setting IP Address using LD 800DN DIP Switch
There is an 8 position Dual In-line Package (DIP) switch on one end of the
LD 800DN module. This DIP switch can be used to select a portion of the default
IP Address.
The value of the switch is assigned as the last octet of the IP Address when the
module powers up.
9ARD000014-600 A
179
IP Address and MAC ID Configuration for LD 800DN
Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN
The DIP Switch value is the binary value of the last byte in the 4 byte IP address.
Considering it as n, then:
•
IP Address – 192.168.1.n
•
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
•
Gateway Address – 0.0.0.0 (No gateway set)
A non-zero DIP switch setting overrides any other IP Address setting done.
Hence, set the DIP switch value to zero if other methods are used to set the IP
address of the LD 800DN.
Refer to Figure 67, for a sample illustration of a DIP Switch.
Figure 67. DIP Switch Configuration
The switches are set to 00010100 (20 decimal) (The switch position is shown in
White in Figure 67). Hence, the IP address of the module is set to 192.168.1.20.
The numbers on the switches of DIP switch do not correspond to bit locations in
the address value. Instead, the numbers are reversed. That is, bit 0 is set by
switch 8.
Setting the IP Address through the Web Page
The IP address of the linking device can also be configured by using the LD 800DN
Status & Settings web page from the linking device.
To view the web page, use http://<IP Address> as the URL, where
<IP Address> is the current IP Address of the module. This URL brings up the
Status & Settings web page. For details on the Status & Settings web page and on
setting up the IP address, refer Status & Settings Web Page on page 196.

Scan Cycle
Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN
Scan Cycle
The Scan cycle of the linking device is used for its communication with DeviceNet
slaves. A scan cycle consists of the following:
•
A Strobed Message and associated Strobed responses.
•
Polled messages and responses.
•
Inter scan delay, which is the time delay between consecutive I/O scans.
Figure 69 shows a graphical illustration of the Scan cycles.
Figure 69. Scan Cycles
Inter Scan Delay is used for performing non-time-critical operations, like
configuration using explicit messages.
Setting Inter Scan Delay to a very low value increases the latency for non-timecritical operations. Setting this parameter to a very large value reduces the
newness of the I/O data being collected by the linking device and is not advisable.
182
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN
LD 800DN I/O Tables
LD 800DN I/O Tables
The LD 800DN maintains an I/O table accessible by both DeviceNet slaves and
CI873. The DeviceNet interface in the LD 800DN accesses the I/O tables, as slave
I/O connections are processed by the DeviceNet master. There is no buffering or
timed updates of the I/O within the module. Safeguards are in place to ensure data
integrity by prohibiting simultaneous access by the Ethernet and DeviceNet
interfaces. There is no synchronization between the two network interfaces.
When an output data is required on a I/O connection of a slave, the output data is
read from the Output table. This output data is written by the Ethernet interface.
When an input data is received on a I/O connection of a slave, it is copied to the
Input table. This data is available for reading by the Ethernet interface and sent to
the EtherNet/IP I/O scanner during the next data exchange.
Status and Diagnostics Indicators
LD 800DN has a group of LED indicators on its front side for displaying the current
status of the module and the network interfaces. The layout of the LEDs is shown in

Administrator Mode
In Administrator mode, the Admin user has full access to the file system through
FTP. This enables to access areas of the file system that are restricted or inaccessible
for Normal mode users.
The default password is DNmemmap. Replace this with a password that
conforms with your organization's security policy at the first possible
opportunity. Failure to replace the default password makes the system susceptible
to unauthorized access.Refer to the Password Security topic in System 800xA
Administration and Security (3BSE037410*) for recommendations on
establishing a password security scheme.
The account login details are:
•
User Name = Admin
•
Default Password = DNmemmap
The default password can be changed by changing the password files. The
Administrator can access the password files to add or remove users or change
passwords. Refer Password Files on page 207 for more details.
Normal Mode
The Normal mode is recommended for normal user operation. In this mode, the
Web pages and other settings are protected from unauthorized modification. In
normal mode the FTP services are only enabled if there is a subdirectory called
\user. When a normal user connects via FTP, this directory is the root directory.
Only the files and subdirectories in this directory can be accessed.

ip_accs.cfg — It is possible to configure which IP addresses and what protocols are
allowed for connecting to the module. This information is stored in the ip_accs.cfg
file.
The file contains one or several of these headers:
•
[Web]
•
[FTP]
•
[Ethernet/IP]
•
[All]
Under each header the allowed IP addresses are written. The wildcard '*' can be
used to allow series of IP addresses. If a protocol header is not given, then the
system uses the configuration set under the [All] header. If the [All] header is not
given, then the protocol does not accept any connections.

Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN
Run/Idle State
Run/Idle State
The linking device LD 800DN has two modes of operation — Run and Idle.
In Run mode, the LD 800DN sends output data to the slaves and receives input data.
During normal operation, it must be in Run Mode.
In Idle mode, the LD 800DN receives input data from the slaves but it does not send
output data to the DeviceNet slave devices. In Idle mode the LD 800DN’s
configuration can be changed.
The LD 800DN module powers up in Idle mode. CI873 sets it into Run mode after
configuration, before starting I/O communication. A re-configuration performed
from Control Builder, requires LD 800DN to be put in Idle mode. These state
changes are handled by CI873.
The LD 800DN linking device has to be in Idle mode before modifying any
configuration data on it. Re-configuring the DeviceNet parameters on an
LD 800DN does not disrupt the flow of input data from the DeviceNet slave
devices to the CI873. However, no output data is applied from the linking device
to the DeviceNet slave devices while the linking device is in Idle mode.

Automatic Device Recovery
Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN
Automatic Device Recovery
The Automatic Device Recovery (ADR) is introduced in Automatic Device
Recovery on page 44.
The ADR feature consists of Address Recovery and Configuration Recovery.
Address Recovery
The Address Recovery is enabled when the Automatic Device Recovery (ADR)
parameter of the Linking Device is enabled. By disabling ADR, it also disables
Address Recovery.
The LD 800DN executes the following steps to perform an address recovery:
1.
On detecting the loss of a slave, LD 800DN begins to monitor MAC ID 63 for
an identical device. Add an identical device to the network at MAC ID 63 as
required.
2.
The LD 800DN then verifies whether the newly added device is exactly the
same kind as the lost slave device. This depends on the electronic key setting of
the device.
3.
Upon successful verification, LD 800DN changes the MAC ID of the new
device from 63 to that of the lost slave device.
If a slave device has a switch to change its node address, then Address Recovery
may not work. In this case, ensure that the switch is set to that of the lost slave
device.
If two devices of the same type are replaced simultaneously, the LD 800DN
disables the Address Recovery feature. In this case, ensure that the new devices
have the same addresses as the corresponding earlier devices.
210
9ARD000014-600 A
Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN
Configuration Recovery
Configuration Recovery
Configuration Recovery can be enabled only if the ADR parameter is enabled.
Configuration Recovery is enabled by enabling the Config Recovery parameter of
the DeviceNet slave device. In Configuration Recovery, the DeviceNet device
configuration stored in LD 800DN is written into the slave device that replaces the
lost slave device.
When Configuration Recovery is disabled, newly inserted DeviceNet device will
not be configured with the existing configuration parameters.
Memory Space Limitations for Configuration Recovery
Every Config Recovery enabled slave device, which has user configurable
parameters, occupy some memory space in the linking device. The size of memory
available for this, in LD 800DN, is limited to 130560 bytes.
If the total size of the user configurable parameters of all Config Recovery enabled
devices exceed 130560 bytes, then Configuration Recovery will not work for the
DeviceNet devices. This is stated in a warning, shown during download, along with
the hardware tree positions of the devices. When this warning appears, perform
either of these:
•
Cancel the process and go online to disable the configuration recovery for some
slaves in Control Builder, so that other required devices can get this feature
enabled.
•
Ignore the warning. In this case, the Configuration Recovery will not be
enabled for some devices and they will have the warning in UnitStatus —
Keeper space exceeded. ADR not configured.
Configuring ADR from Control Builder
Consider the following factors when you configure the ADR feature from Control
Builder:
•
9ARD000014-600 A
For ADR feature to work, enable the parameter ADR in the hardware editor of
LD 800DN. By disabling this parameter, it disables Address Recovery and
Configuration Recovery for all DeviceNet devices.
211
Configuring ADR from Control Builder
212
Section 6 Linking Device LD 800DN
•
Address Recovery cannot be disabled individually for each configured
DeviceNet slave device. However, it can be disabled for all DeviceNet slave
devices by disabling the ADR parameter on LD 800DN.
•
Configuration Recovery can be individually enabled or disabled for each
DeviceNet slave through the Config Recovery parameter on the DeviceNet
device. For this, the ADR parameter on LD 800DN must be kept enabled.
