AB7957-F

The Anybus X-gateway EtherNet/IP Master to CC-Link IE Field Slave connects any EtherNet/IP device or equipment to the CC-Link IE Field control system. The Anybus gateway ensures reliable, secure and fast data transfer between different industrial networks.

Anybus X-gateway – CC-Link IE Field™ Slave Interface

The CC-Link IE field slave interface can be top-mounted or bottom-mounted. The CC-Link IE Field Slave Interface for X-gateway implements an electrically isolated CC-Link IE Field Interface. This interface acts as a slave device and can be accessed by the CC-Link IE Field Master, but does not initiate communication itself.The bottom-mount type is used in this article.

DIP Switch

Switch 1-7

Switches 1 through 7 can be configured with node numbers in binary notation, and changes take effect after the gateway is restarted.

Switch 8

Switch 8 determines the function of the last two LEDs in each row (upper or lower interface). Changes are reflected immediately; ON=LED indicates LINK status.

Data Exchange

Data is exchanged via input/output buffers or via the CC-Link IE Field protocol.

Input Buffer
This buffer holds data transferred from other networks.That is, it is data that can be read by the CC-Link IE Field Master.
Output Buffer
This buffer is transferred to other networks and becomes data writable by the CC-Link IE Field Master.

I/O data is transferred as cyclic data (RWx, RY, RX points).

Data representation

The cyclic data I/O data on the CC-Link IE field network is divided into bit information and word information.To allow for predictable data distribution, the I/O size is divided into a portion containing 16-bit blocks of bit information and a portion containing 64-bit blocks of word information. Please check the instruction manual for detailed Mapping.

Anybus X-gateway – EtherNet/IP™ Scanner Interface

The EtherNet/IP scanner interface can only be installed in the top slot of the Anybus X-gateway.The EtherNet/IP scanner interface provides EtherNet/IP scanner functionality for the Anybus X-gateway platform and allows data exchange with up to 64 EtherNet/IP nodes (adapters).

Additional IT features include built-in FTP, web server, and e-mail client functionality.

In addition, the dynamic content feature allows data from input/output buffers to be monitored on Web pages or included in E-mail messages.

DIP Switch

Use the DIP switch to set the binary value of the last byte of the IP address in subnet 192.168.0.1-254 (netmask 255.255.255.0).To use a different subnet, set all switches to OFF and configure with Anybus IPconfig.

Function

The following features are implemented in the Ethernet/IP Scanner interface of HMS.

EtherNet/IP Scanners
FTP Servers
Web servers
SMTP client
10/100 Mbit operation, full or half duplex
Onboard IP configuration switch
Shielded or unshielded cables

Mels Side

The next step is to build the Mitsubishi IQ-R side.

Module Configuration

Start GXWORKS3 and add the RJ71GF11-T2 used in this article to the Module Configuration.

Configure RJ71GF11-T2

Set Parameter>Module Information>RJ71GF11-T2.

Station Type

Station Type is set to Master Station.

Network No.

The Network No. is set so that the number is not covered by other CC-Link IE Field networks.

Network Setting

Next click on Network ConfigurationSettings>Detailed Settings.

This is the CC-Link IE Field network settings screen.

From the Module List, add the General CC IE Field Module>Gen. Intelligent Device Station to the network.

Done!

STA#

The STA# will be the node number of the CC-Link IE Field Slave; let’s match it to the node number we set for the Anybus AB7957-F device.

RX/RY Setting

Next, set the number of points for RX/RY (Bit data) Switch the display to Assignment Method>Point/Start.

Station2 automatically determines the RX/RY range based on the current number of input points.In this article, 50 Bytes of data will be exchanged, so Points/Bit = 80 points.

RWw/RWr Setting

As before, Station2 automatically determines the RWw/RWr range based on the current number of input points.In this article, 50 Bytes of data will be exchanged, so Word = 20.

Save

When you have finished setting up CC-Link IE Field, save the settings under CC IE Field Configuration>Close with Reflecting the Setting.

Reflesh Setting

The next step is to set up Reflesh.This is to set the data to be exchanged via CC-Link IE Field and the register inside the PLC to be ringed.

This is the Reflesh Setting screen.

In this article, we will set up the following

Input data of 80 points from RX0000 is transferred from B00 to B04F.
80 output data points from RY0000 are overwritten from B100 to B14F.
20 input data from RWr0000 are transferred from D0 to D19.
20 output data from RWw0000 will be overwritten from D100 to D119.

In this article, we have already completed building the Scan List, but we will still explain how to add an Ethernet/IP Adapter.

This is the Ethernet/IP Adapter configuration screen.

CC100 Side

First, let’s configure the Ethernet/IP Adapter launched on the WAGO CC100 side.

IP Address

The IP address should be set according to the WAGO CC100.

Transport Type

Set the data communication type for O→T and T→O.This time, set both to Point To Point.

Data O->T

Sets the data size for O→T.This should match the size of the Ethernet/IP Adapter you want to connect from here. 20 Bytes of data was set for the CC100, so enter 20 here as well.

Offset Word means to set the first memory OFFSET of the Word to be occupied by this connection in the Total 50Byes this time.First, CC100 is set at 0.

Data T->O

Set the data size for T→O.This should match the size of the Ethernet/IP Adapter you want to connect from here. 20 Bytes of data was set for the CC100, so enter 20 here as well.

Offset Word means to set the first memory OFFSET of the Word to be occupied by this connection in the Total 50Byes this time.First, CC100 is set at 0.

Data Rate(ms)

The Ethernet/IP data update cycle should be adjusted to match the application and network load.

Connection Point O->T

This one sets the Instance number to be connected to the O→T Connection.

On the CC100 side, we set 16#64, so let’s set it to Instance number 100 (decimal) in O→T.

Connection T->O

This one hits T→O Connection and sets the Instance number to be connected.

On the CC100 side, we set 16#65, so let’s set it to Instance number 101 (decimal) in O→T.

Connection Config

Finally, set the Config Instance number.

If the Connection Path in Codesys is 66, it will be set to Default, so set the Instance number to 102 (decimal).

Save

The last step is to save the settings.

WAGO PFC200 Side

The same operation is performed for the WAGO PFC200 side.

IP Address

The IP address should be set according to the WAGO PFC200.

Data O->T/Data T->O

The data size is set to 10 Bytes input/output to match the WAGO PFC200 side.

And Offset is set to 10.That is, CC100 has 20 Bytes input/output data and Offset is set to 0.So, the Word=10 occupied by the Ethernet/IP connection of CC100 = Word0 to Word9. the second connection should be set Offset=10 (next unused memory area) at the minimum.

Monitor

This is the Monitor screen.You can check IO data on this screen.

About

The last page is the About page.On this page, you will find information about the various components of the gateway, including software version numbers and serial numbers.

Configure EIP Scanner Side

We will build on the Ethernet/IP Scanner side.Basically, it is OK to set the number of Bytes of Input I/O Data and Output I/O Data to be more than all connected Ethernet/IP Adapters.In this example, the number is set to 50.

Configure CC-Link IE Field Side

We will build on the CC-Link IE Field side.Basically, the number of bytes of Input I/O Data and Output I/O Data should be larger than that of all connected Ethernet/IP Adapters, and should be the same as that of GXWORKS3.In this example, we set it to 50.
