Anybus EtherNet/IP to .NET Bridge

NET bridge serves as a bridge between the PLC function modules and the .NET solution in the PC.

Working Principle

The exchange of information between the Operational Technology (OT) side and the Information Technology (IT) side is accomplished through messaging.

Up to 65535 different message types, each with a maximum of 251 bytes, may be defined. Each message type has a unique ID number and these messages are sent in sequence to the same IO data, which provides a large amount of data communication.

These message types are defined in a spreadsheet template (Microsoft Excel), which is included in the configuration software, along with the function modules and product definition files (GSD, GSDML, EDS, ESI). Using the spreadsheet templates, Anybus .NET Bridge Code Generator creates C# files for .NET programmers and PLC files for PLC programmers.

Description

I. Features and Benefits

  • Create a bridge between PLC logic and PC's .
  • Synchronized communication through handshaking
  • Two-way communication
  • Very simple to configure and provides easy-to-use simulation tools.
  • Data configuration is separated into a separate spreadsheet.
  • Minimal or no hardware required - easy to replace
  • Transfers large amounts of data
  • DIN-rail or wall mounting options available
  • Up to 65,535 different unique message types
  • Up to 251 bytes per defined message type

 

二、EtherNet/IP網路特性

EtherNet/IP從站參數是在一個電子表格配置中定義的。配置生成器生成EDS文件和功能模塊。

  • 經過EtherNet/IP ODVA CT14一致性認證
  • Allocate up to 256 bytes of I/O data.
  • 100Mbit/s
  • 通過.EDS文件進行EtherNet/IP上行配置
  • 針對Studio 5000的功能模塊
  • Connection via 2x RJ45 connectors

 

For automation specialists - PLC program operators

PLC programmer

Function blocks simplify PLC integration!

  • NET Framework knowledge is not required - the logical interface is a function block in the PLC.
  • The generated configuration already provides Studio 5000-oriented function blocks.
  • Auto-Configuration - System Generates Fully Customized EDS Files
  • NET emulation for testing/developing PLC solutions without .
  • If a gateway needs to be replaced, the .NET application will automatically create the configuration

 

For IT specialists - .

.NET programmer

Significantly reduces integration complexity!

  • No need to understand the industrial network - data from the factory floor is sent in an intelligent mode
  • IT Form Interface: Customized name, receive events and publish structured data via C#/.NET interface
  • Auto-Configuration - System Generation of Fully Customized C# APIs
  • The name and data type are consistent with the PLC programmer according to the parameter list, and the configuration is saved in the C# program.
  • No PLC required, PLC emulation for testing/developing .
  • No configuration work on the bridge
