6 Ethernet/IP Fieldbus Interface Card

Description
See Figure 1.

The Ethernet/IP field bus card is used in field bus systems to centrally
collect and process data. The cards operate through the master-slave
access method. When used in a field bus system, Nordson melters always
operate as slaves.

Although most melter functionality can be set/monitored using field bus

communications, some functionality is considered inconsistent with field bus
usage and is therefore not accessible. Non-supported melter functions are:

S Clock
S Password protection
S PID selection (DuraBlue melters only)
S pump-off delay (DuraBlue melters only)
S Hose 1 and 2 solenoid activation (DuraBlue melters only)

Figure 1 Typical field bus card

Intended Use
This manual is intended for use by experienced PLC engineers.

The Ethernet/IP field bus card is intended to be used only as described in

this manual. Any other use is considered to be unintended. Nordson is not
liable for personal injury or property damage resulting from unintended use.
Intended use includes the observance of Nordson safety regulations.

Set the Field Bus Device Addresses

IP address
The IP address is used to identify each node on the TCP/IP network.
Therefore, each node on the network must have a unique IP address. IP
addresses are written as four decimal integers (0--255) separated by
periods, where each integer represents the binary value of one byte in the
IP address. This is called dotted--decimal notation.

Example:
Address 10000000 00001010 00000010 00011110 is written as 128.10.2.30

Subnet Mask
The IP address is divided into three parts -- net ID, subnet ID and host ID.
To separate the net ID and the subnet ID from the host ID, a subnet mask is
used.

The subnet mask is a 32--bit binary pattern, where a set bit allocates a bit
for network/subnet ID, and a cleared bit allocates a bit for the host ID. Like
the IP address, the subnet mask is commonly written in dotted--decimal
notation.

Example:
To make the IP address 128.10.2.30 belong to subnet 128.10.2, the subnet
mask shall be set to 255.255.255.0.

Subnet Mask: 11111111 11111111 1111111 00000000 (255.255.255.0)

E 2007 Nordson Corporation Part 1054600A03

10 Ethernet/IP Fieldbus Interface Card

NOTE: To be able to establish communication between two devices both

devices must belong to the same subnet. If not, the communication must be
done through a gateway. It is therefore recommended to configure the
module to the same subnet as your PC.

Special case IP addresses

Devices on an Ethernet network are not allowed to be configured to the
following IP addresses; therefore do not configure the module to use any of
them.

0.x.x.x -- IP address where the first byte is zero

127.x.x.x -- IP address where the first byte is 127

x.x.x.0 -- IP address where the last byte is zero

x.x.x.255 -- IP address where the last byte is 255

Configuring the IP Address

The module offers several ways to configure the IP address:

S Configuration Switch
S DHCP/BootP
S Using a predefined IP address stored in the file ‘ethcfg.cfg’.
S ARP

Using the Configuration Switch

The configuration switch provides an easy way to configure the module for
intranet use. The switch represents the binary value of the last byte in the IP
address.

If the switch is set to a value between 1–255, the module will use the strings
described below.
S IP address: 192.168.0.n
S Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
S Gateway address: 0.0.0.0 (No gateway set)
The last byte (n) represents the binary value of the switches. Subnet mask
and Gateway address settings are fixed to the above values when using the
configuration switches.

Example:
The switches are set to 00010100 (20 decimal)

The IP address of the module will be set to 192.168.0.20

Part 1054600A03 E 2007 Nordson Corporation

 Ethernet/IP Fieldbus Interface Card 11

NOTE: These settings can only be used on an intranet. This is because the
IP address that is being set belongs to the private address set, refer to RFC
1918.

Using DHCP/BootP
If the configuration switch is set to 0, the module will use the configuration
stored in the file ‘ethcfg.cfg’.

If DHCP/BootP is enabled in the configuration file ‘ethcfg.cfg’ or if the

configuration file is missing, the module will attempt to retrieve the following
information via DHCP/BootP:
S IP address
S Subnet mask
S Gateway address
S SMTP server address
S Default Domain NameHost Name
S DNS server (Primary and secondary)
The retrieved information will be stored in the configuration file ‘ethcfg.cfg’¨

NOTE: The module supports DHCP Reboot, i.e. it will ask the DHCP/BootP
for the IP address stored in the configuration file. If the address is free to
use, it will be assigned to the module. If not, the module will be assigned a
new address.

Using a Predefined Configuration

If the configuration switch is set to 0, the module will use the configuration
stored in the file ‘ethcfg.cfg’.

If DHCP/BootP is disabled or a DHCP/BootP server cannot be found, the

module will try to use the configuration stored in the file ‘ethcfg.cfg’. If this
file is missing, the module will indicate an error on the Network Status LED.
In this state, the module will only run the ARP protocol.

Using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

The IP address can be changed during runtime using the ARP command
from a PC. The new IP address will be stored in the configuration file
‘ethcfg.cfg’.

Below is an example on how to change the IP address from a MS DOS

window:

arp --s <IP address> <MAC address>

ping <IP address>

arp --d <IP address>

E 2007 Nordson Corporation Part 1054600A03

12 Ethernet/IP Fieldbus Interface Card

The arp --s command will store the IP and MAC addresses in the PC’s ARP
table. When the ping command is executed, the PC sends this information
to the module using the MAC address. The module detects that it was
addressed with the correct MAC address and adopts the IP address sent by
the PC. (The arp --d command is optional, but it removes the static route
from the PC ARP table). The new IP address will be stored in the
configuration file ‘ethcfg.cfg’.

This method can be used to reconfigure modules that already have been
configured, or even to reconfigure modules outside the host’s subnet.
The MAC address is printed on a label on the bottom side of the module.

NOTE: As the Arp command automatically configures the subnet mask to

255.255.255.0, the first three bytes of the IP address must be the same as
for the PC executing the command.

Example:
PC -- 10.10.12.67

Module -- 10.10.12.x (Where x is a value between 1 and 254)

DNS Support

Introduction
DNS is a service that translates host names into IP addresses. Because
domain names are alphabetic, they’re much easier to remember. Every time
a host name is used, a DNS service must translate the name into the
corresponding IP address.

If a DNS server doesn’t know how to translate a particular domain name, it

will ask another one until the corresponding IP address is found.

The DNS configuration is specified in the configuration file ‘ethcfg.cfg’.

Primary and Secondary DNS (a.k.a DNS1 and DNS2)

It is possible to define two DNS servers in the module, a primary and a
secondary. When a domain name should be translated, the module will ask
the primary DNS server. If it for some reason fails to process the request,
the module will retry using the secondary DNS.

Part 1054600A03 E 2007 Nordson Corporation

 Ethernet/IP Fieldbus Interface Card 13

Host / Domain Names Conventions

Before a request is sent to a DNS server, the module will process the host
name as follows:
S If the hostname does not contain a dot, the module will automatically
append the default domain
S If the hostname ends with a dot, that dot will automatically be
removed.
S If the hostname contains a dot but isn’t ending with one, the module
will...
- send a request to the DNS server for the hostname
- if that request fails, append the default domain name and try
again

Example:
(In the examples below, the default domain name is ‘hms.com’)
S ‘test’ becomes ‘test.hms.com’
S ‘test.hms.com.’ becomes ‘test.hms.com’
S ‘test.a’ will if not found become ‘test.a.hms.com’

Obtain the Device Master File

Nordson Corporation provides a device master (.EDS) for the technical
description of the Ethernet/IP card described in this manual. The format is
based on the standard EN 50170. The .EDS file may be downloaded from
www.enordson.com/support.

Configure Files
The module uses these files for configuration purposes. The configuration
files are ASCII files and can be edited with any text editor. Depending on
security settings, the files may be inaccessible for normal users. Generally,
the module has to be restarted in order for any changes in these files to
have effect.

Note: It is very important to follow the exact syntax specifications for each
configuration file, otherwise the module might have problems interpreting it,
which can result in a faulty or non-expected behavior.

‘ethcfg.cfg’
This file contains the network configuration and is read by the module at
start up. The settings in this file may be affected by several mailbox-- and
SSI commands. For more information about network configuration refer to
Configuring the IP Address.

 Ethernet/IP Fieldbus Interface Card 15

ip_accs.cfg
It is possible to configure which IP addresses and what protocols that are
allowed to connect to the module. This information is stored in the file
‘\ip_accs.cfg’. The file contains one or several of the headers below.

[Web]
[FTP]
[Telnet]
[Modbus/TCP]
[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, the system will use the configuration set below the header ‘All’. If the
‘All’ header is not given, the protocol will not accept any connections.

Example:
[Web]
10.10.12.*
10.10.13.*
[FTP]
10.10.12.*
[Telnet]
10.10.12.*
[All]

The above example will allow all IP addresses beginning with 10.10.12 to
access all protocols in the module. Addresses beginning with 10.10.13 will
be able to access the web server, but not the FTP and Telnet servers. The
Modbus/TCP server will accept connections from any IP address.

The contents of this file can be redirected by placing the line ‘[File path]’ on
the first row, and a file path on the second.

Example:

Formatting the File System

If the module refuses to start up, this may be due to an error in the file
system. The steps below can be used to format and restore the file system
to its initial state.

1. Short jumper named ”J2”

2. Apply power to the module
3. Wait for the watchdog led to turn red
4. Disconnect the power
5. Remove jumper
6. Again, apply power to the module
7. Wait approximately 1 minute as the module is formatting the file system

The module should now be working properly, however all files and folders in
the file system have been erased.

Data Security
The file system features two security levels; Admin and Normal. Security
level is set at a per user basis.

S Admin Mode
Admin users has full access to the file system through FTP and Telnet.
This enables the user to access areas of the file system, that is
restricted or inaccessible in Normal mode.

The Admin user accounts are defined in the file ‘ad_pswd.cfg’.

S Normal Mode
This mode is recommended for normal operation, so that web pages
and other settings are protected from FTP and Telnet access.
The accounts for normal users are defined in the file ‘sys_pswd.cfg’.

Files within the file system can be protected from web access through
username/password authorization. Refer to Password Files.

Part 1054600A03 E 2007 Nordson Corporation

 Ethernet/IP Fieldbus Interface Card 19

Password Files

ad_pswd.cfg and sys_pswd.cfg

User/password information for FTP and Telnet is stored in the files
‘sys_pswd.cfg’ (Normal users) and ‘ad_pswd.cfg’ (Admin users). These files
must be placed in ‘\user\pswd’ and ‘\pswd\ respectively. These directories
are protected from web browser access.

The file format is the following:

User1:password1
User2:password2
...
User3:password3

Example:
User: Password

In this example, the username is ‘User’, and the password is ‘Password’.

If no ‘:’ is present, the password will be equal to the username.

Example:
Username

In this example, both username and password will be ‘Username’.

FTP Server
It is possible to upload/download files to/from the file system using a
standard FTP client. Depending on security settings, different parts of the
file system can be accessed by the user:

S Normal users
The root directory will be ‘\user’ unless the user has Admin access
rights, see below.
S Admin users
The user will have unrestricted access to the file system, i.e. the root
directory will be ‘\’.
S Global Admin Mode
Any username/password combination will be accepted. All users have
unrestricted access to the file system, i.e. the root directory will be ‘\’.

For more information about the security framework in the module, see See
Security.

Email Client
It is possible to send emails from the module. To send an email, the SMTP
server address must be configured. Without a valid SMTP address the
module will not be able to send any email messages.

Sending a predefined email on data event

It is possible to send predefined email messages, triggered by a value in the
Ethernet/IP Data List. It is possible to have up to 10 user defined, and 10
admin defined emails, triggered on different events. These shall be placed

Melter Operational Modes

Melters with a field bus card have two operational modes: local and remote.
The default is the remote mode. The mode may be selected through the
melter operator panel.

NOTE: For the remainder of this manual, the term “field bus” is used to
refer to the the Ethernet/IP system.

Local Mode
The local mode of operation is used mainly to view data for maintenance
and repair purposes. In this mode, the melter operates like a melter that
does not include a field bus card:

S Control access is only via the melter operator panel

S Parameter input is only via the melter operator panel
S Through the master, all parameters can be displayed but not
changed. The master can always read actual values.
To place the melter in the local mode, change Parameter 14 (External
Comm Lockout) to 1.

Remote Mode
When the melter is in the remote mode of operation, it can be operated from
both the master and the melter operator panel:

S Setpoints and system parameters can be entered through the

master or the melter operator panel.
S If control of the melter exclusively through the master is desired, you
can enable password protection (melter operating parameters 10
and 11), which locks-out operation of the melter using the operator
panel. Refer to the melter product manual for information on
enabling password protection.
NOTE: When a field bus card is installed in the melter, enabling
password protection will disable all melter operator panel input,
including the Heaters, Pump, and Standby keys.

To place the melter in the remote mode, change Parameter 14 (External

Comm Lockout) to 0. This is the default setting.

24 Ethernet/IP Fieldbus Interface Card

Indexed Data Interface

When data is transmitted from the Nordson melter to the master and vice
versa, the data is accessed via indexes. The data available via the Fieldbus
are shown in the Blue Ethernet Data List. The indexing method allows a
smaller data packet which prevents the field bus from being loaded with
unnecessary data.

Indexed Protocol Data Processing

S The master formulates a command by determining the transmission
data packet. The Nordson melter processes the command and
formulates the reply telegram.
S The master processes the data or repeats the command until a reply is
received from the Nordson melter. Only one command is processed at a
time. The Nordson melter keeps the reply available until the master
formulates a new command.
S When a Command can not be executed, the Nordson melter replies with
a fault signal in the Status. The master recognizes by this identification
whether the previously transmitted command was correctly processed
by the Nordson melter.
S The master has to check that the acknowledge data Data index and
Channel number from the Nordson melter are the same as the data in
the transmission data packet.

Transmit and Receive Packets

The master sends a transmission packet to the Nordson melter. This packet
contains a command that the Nordson melter is to process.

The following illustration shows an example of the reading out of

temperature actual values.

S Communication is done with two data packets: Receive and Transmit

(from the master’s viewpoint).
S The Receive and Transmit data packets are instances 100 and 150
respectively.
S The data packets always have the same length: 16 bytes, consistent.

Data Index
The indexes in the data index packet correspond to those in the Blue
Ethernet Data List at the end of this section.

The range of data indexes is 0 to 255. A data index set to 0 (zero) is

interpreted as “no data index.”

Channel Number
The master must select a channel number that is valid. Refer to Channel
Number List later in this section for the channel number descriptions (such
as for a temperature channel).

Beginning with the selected channel number as a start channel, the

command for reading data is processed for the six successive channels.

Protection. The Pump Startup Protection prevents all stopped pumps (such
as those stopped as a result of an RTD fault) from starting up automatically
after finishing the heat-up phase or after a fault has occurred.

To acknowledge the Pump Startup Protection, change the All Pumps

Read Data Value

In the read data value area, the master reads the data received from the
Nordson melter. The read data values of six successive channels are
transmitted with each packet (where applicable).

Example: Master reads actual temperature values; channel number is set

to 9.

Full Map Data Interface

The full map method allows access to all melter data in one packet. This
method causes the packets to be much larger than that of the Indexed
Protocol but requires less programming on the master side to create an
interface.

Full Map Packet Processing

NOTE: Full map data packets are available only with melter firmware
version 1.114 or higher.
S The master formulates a command by determining the transmission
data packet. The Nordson melter processes the command and
formulates the reply packets.
S The master processes the data or repeats the command until a reply is
received from the Nordson melter. Only one command is processed at a
time. The Nordson melter keeps the reply available until the master
formulates a new command.
S When a Transmit data packet contains an error, the Nordson melter
replies with a fault bit in the Status. The master recognizes by this signal
whether the previously transmitted command was correctly processed
by the Nordson melter.

Transmit and Receive Packets

The master sends a transmission packet to the Nordson melter. This packet
contains information that the Nordson melter is to process.

The following illustration shows an example of the reading of the full map.

Full Map Packet Data

NOTE: Full map data packets are available only with melter firmware
version 1.114 or higher.
S Communication is done with two data packets: Receive and Transmit
(from the master’s viewpoint).
S The Receive and Transmit data packets are instances 101 and 151
respectively.
S The data packets always have the same length: 248 words.
S The Melter Control byte is located at offset 0 of the Transmit instance
S The Status word is located at offset 0 of the Receive instance.
S All available melter data can be read and written (if writable) per the
Blue Ethernet Data List.
NOTE: The master may need to swap bytes in some or all of the packet
data if the data formats of the master and the Nordson melter do not
correspond.

Melter Control
The melter control data in the transmit packet is executed by the Nordson
melter with each packet.

NOTE: Unused or reserved bits must be set to 0 (zero).

S Data access not permitted.
Example: Write command in the Local
mode or commands for channels that are
not installed.
S At least one data value is invalid. The
data packet received may not be
evaluated by the master.
Example: A value is outside of the
permitted value range.
0 No communication faults in data values

NOTE: Nordson melters are equipped with automatic Pump Startup

Protection. The Pump Startup Protection prevents all stopped pumps (such
as those stopped as a result of an RTD fault) from starting up automatically
after finishing the heat-up phase or after a fault has occurred.

To acknowledge the Pump Startup Protection, change the All Pumps

ON/OFF parameter from OFF to ON. (For a rising transition-based reset,
refer to Melter Control. If bit1 = 0, then set to 1; if bit1 = 1, then set to 0 and
subsequently to 1 again.)
