Ethernet Protocols

On the most basic level, Ethernet is a wire or cable that connects computers and peripheral devices so that they can communicate. The actual wire used for the network is referred to as the network

“medium.” Beyond the physical medium, all Ethernet networks support protocols that provide sophisticated data transfer and network management functionality.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a transport-layer protocol (TCP) and a network-layer protocol (IP) commonly used in business environments for communication within networks and across internetworks. The 1756-ENET/B module uses

TCP/IP for “explicit” messaging, that is, messages in which time is not a critical factor, such as uploading or downloading programs.

AB PLCs

Publication 1756-UM051B-EN-P - November 2000

3-2 Before You Configure Your Module

User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

UDP is a much simpler transport protocol. It is connectionless and provides a very simple capability to send datagrams between two devices. UDP is used by applications that implement their own handshaking between devices and only want a minimal transport service. UDP is smaller, simpler, and faster than TCP and can operate in unicast, multicast, or broadcast mode. The 1756-ENET/B module employs UDP for real time I/O messaging.

Ethernet/IP

Ethernet/IP applies a common application layer over Ethernet by encapsulating messages in TCP/UDP/IP. This common application

layer is the control and information protocol (CIP, see chapter 1),

which provides interoperability and interchangeability of industrial automation and control devices on Ethernet. Ethernet/IP supports both real-time I/O (“implicit” messaging) and explicit messaging.

Refer to the Ethernet/IP Performance and Application Guide, publication number ENET-AP001A-EN-P, for more information on the

Ethernet/IP protocol.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard for network management within TCP/IP environments. This lets client applications monitor and manage network information on host computers and gateways.

SNMP uses a distributed architecture consisting of management systems and agents. Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (switch, router, bridge, etc.) to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agents return information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled (turned off, on, etc.).

The ENET/B module is an agent, and its primary function is to process the operations requested by the management system. The Ethernet module supports the SNMP protocol at the MIB II level.

Publication 1756-UM051B-EN-P - November 2000

Configuration

Requirements

Before You Configure Your Module 3-3

Before you can use your Ethernet module, you must configure its IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask. The module ships with the Rockwell BootP utility, which you can use to perform the configuration. You can also use RSLinx software, generic BootP software, or, within some limitations, a DHCP server. These methods

are described in chapter 4.

IP Address

The IP address identifies each node on the IP network (or system of connected networks). Each TCP/IP node on a network (including the

Ethernet module) must have a unique IP address.

The IP address is 32 bits long and has a net ID part and a host ID part.

Each network is a Class A, Class B, or Class C network. The class of a network determines how an IP address is formatted.

Class A

Class B

Class C

0 1

1 0

0 1

1 1 0 net ID net ID

8 net ID

16 host ID

24 host ID

EXAMPLE

Each node on the same physical network must have an IP address of the same class and must have the same net ID. Each node on the same network must have a different host ID thus giving it a unique IP address.

IP addresses are written as four decimal integers (0-255) separated by periods where each integer gives the value of one byte of the IP address.

For example, the 32-bit IP address:

10000010 00000000 00000000 00000001 is written as 130.0.0.1.

You can distinguish the class of an IP address from the first integer in its dotted-decimal IP address as follows:

Range of first integer

0 -127

Class

128 -191 B

AB PLCs

Range of first integer

192 - 223

Publication 1756-UM051B-EN-P - November 2000

TIP

Contact your network administrator or the Network

Information Center for a unique fixed IP address to assign to your module.

Tip

For more information on Internet addressing, see Comer, Douglas E;

Internetworking with TCP-IP, Volume 1: Protocols and Architecture;

Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1990.

Gateways

A gateway connects individual physical networks into a system of networks. When a node needs to communicate with a node on another network, a gateway transfers the data between the two networks. The following figure shows gateway G connecting Network

1 with Network 2.

128.1.0.1

Network 1

128.1.0.2

128.2.0.3

128.2.0.1

128.2.0.2

Network 2

When host B with IP address 128.2.0.1 communicates with host C, it knows from C’s IP address that C is on the same network. In an

Ethernet environment, B can then resolve C’s IP address to a MAC address and communicate with C directly.

When host B communicates with host A, it knows from A’s IP address that A is on another network (the net IDs are different). In order to send data to A, B must have the IP address of the gateway connecting the two networks. In this example, the gateway’s IP address on

Network 2 is 128.2.0.3.

The gateway has two IP addresses (128.1.0.2 and 128.2.0.3). The first must be used by hosts on Network 1 and the second must be used by hosts on Network 2. To be usable, a host’s gateway must be addressed using a net ID matching its own.

Before You Configure Your Module 3-5

Subnet Mask

EXAMPLE

Subnet addressing is an extension of the IP address scheme that allows a site to use a single net ID for multiple physical networks.

Routing outside of the site continues by dividing the IP address into a net ID and a host ID via the class. Inside a site, the subnet mask is used to redivide the IP address into a custom net ID portion and host

ID portion.

Take Network 2 (a Class B network) in the previous example and add another physical network. Selecting the following subnet mask would add two additional net ID bits allowing for four physical networks:

11111111 11111111 11000000 00000000 = 255.255.192.0

Two bits of the Class B host ID have been used to extend the net ID.

Each unique combination of bits in the part of the host ID where subnet mask bits are 1 specifies a different physical network.

The new configuration is:

128.1.0.1

Network 1

128.1.0.2

128.2.64.3

128.2.64.1

128.2.64.2

Network 2.1

128.2.128.1

128.2.128.2

Network 2.2

128.2.128.3

A second network with Hosts D and E has been added. Gateway G2 connects Network 2.1 with Network 2.2. Hosts D and E will use

Gateway G2 to communicate with hosts not on Network 2.2. Hosts B and C will use Gateway G to communicate with hosts not on Network

2.1. When B is communicating with D, G (the configured Gateway for

B) will route the data from B to D through G2.

Configuring the Ethernet Module

What This Chapter Contains

Before you can use your Ethernet module in a network you must configure it by providing an IP address, Gateway address, and Subnet mask. There are several way you can do this:

Using the Rockwell BootP utility that ships with RSLogix 5000 software

Using RSLinx

Using a standard BootP server

Having your network administrator configure the module via the network server

This chapter describes these procedures for configuring the

1756-ENET/B Ethernet module. The following table describes where to find specific information.

Using the Rockwell

BootP Utility

BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a low-level protocol that provides configurations to the nodes on a TCP/IP network. The Rockwell

BootP utility is a stand alone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BootP software with a user friendly graphical interface. It is located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix 5000 installation CD. Refer to the Readme file that accompanies the utility and to the utility’s Help menu for directions on how to use this software. The Ethernet module must have BootP enabled (factory default) to use the utility.

AB PLCs

Publication 1756-UM051B-EN-P - November 2000

4-2 Configuring the Ethernet Module

Using RSLinx Software

You can use RSLinx software, version 2.2 or higher, to configure the

Ethernet module via a ControlNet or Data Highway Plus network, or via the serial port on a Logix 5550 processor, if you insert the Ethernet module into a ControlLogix chassis containing:

• a 1756-CNB module connected to your workstation via

ControlNet, or

• a 1756-DHRIO module connected to your workstation via DH+, or

• a Logix 5550 processor connected to your workstation via its serial port.

You must have an appropriate communication driver configured in

RSLinx. After configuring the Ethernet module, you can move it to the chassis where you want to use it.

To configure the Ethernet module using RSLinx, perform the following steps:

Insert the ENET/B module in the ControlLogix chassis with the communications module you will be using.

Start RSLinx. The RSWho window will open.

Publication 1756-UM051B-EN-P - November 2000

Select the appropriate driver (e.g., AB_KT-1 for Data Highway Plus,

AB_KTC-1 for ControlNet, or AB_DF1-1 for the Logix 5550’s serial port).

Configuring the Ethernet Module 4-3

The following example uses the Data Highway Plus driver. You can perform the same steps using one of the other drivers.

Expand the driver tree through the backplane of the chassis containing the 1756-ENET/B module.

Right click on the module. The following pop-up menu will appear.

Select Module Configuration .

Configuring the Ethernet Module 4-5

Using a BootP Server

The Ethernet module factory default is BootP enabled. The following is an example BootP tab file that can be used with a BootP server:

EXAMPLE

# Example /etc./bootptab: database for bootp server (/etc./bootpd).

# Format: nodename:tag=value:tag=value: . . . .:tag=value

# first field – – nodename (hostname) of terminal followed by colon

(should be full domain name)

# Blank lines and lines beginning with ’#’ are ignored.

# Make sure you include a colon and a backslash to continue a line.

# Don’t put any spaces in the tag–value string.

# The ht tag MUST precede the ha tag.

# The options below are specified as tag=value and delimited by colons

# These are the options used by the 1756-ENET/B module: gw – – gateway IP address ha – – hardware address (link level address) (hex) ht – – hardware type (either) (must precede the ha tag) ip – – IP address sm – – network subnet mask tc – – template for common defaults (should be the first option listed)

After you have entered all the configuration data, save the file in a directory where the BootP server can access it.

Publication 1756-UM051B-EN-P - November 2000

Configuring the Ethernet Module 4-7

Using DHCP Software to

Configure Your Module

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.

DHCP is based on BootP and maintains some backward compatibility.

The main difference is that BootP was designed for manual configuration, while DHCP allows for dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached devices.

Be cautious about using DHCP software to configure your module. A

BootP client, such as the 1756-ENET/B module, can boot from a

DHCP server only if the DHCP server is specifically written to also handle BootP queries. This is specific to the DHCP software package you use. Check with your system administrator to see if your DHCP package supports BootP commands and manual IP allocation.

ATTENTION

The 1756-ENET/B module must be assigned a fixed network address. The IP address of this module must not be dynamically provided.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended machine motion or loss of process control.

Analog I/O with Direct Connection

About the Example

Application

In this example you add an analog output module to the remote chassis containing the 1756-ENET/B module and the two digital I/O modules configured in the previous chapter. Analog modules default to direct connection. Note that you will open a direct connection to the analog module while still using a single rack optimized connection for the two digital I/O modules.

To test the connection the RSLogix 5000 project of the previous chapter is modified to produce a varying signal at one of the analog output channels.
