I. Case background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nagel Precision's machine equipment is an EtherNet\/IP-based control system with Allen Bradley PLCs, often with Rockwell Kinetix 6000 multi-axis servo drives as the key core. However, since the honing machines are exported to factories all over the world, Nagel faced the problem of how to communicate with other networks-especially PROFINET, which is often used by automotive manufacturers Nagel Precision tried a third-party NIC as a solution, but found that not only was the NIC a good choice, but it was also a good choice.high cost<\/strong>\u3001Troublesome and Complicated Configuration<\/strong>Sometimes the corresponding specification model cannot be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    III. Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If the Honing Machine is to be installed in a factory running EtherNet\/IP, it can be directly connected and communicate with the network. However, if the factory is running another network (e.g. PROFINET), an Anybus X-Gateway is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Anybus X-Gateway gateway acts as a converter between EtherNet\/IP and the factory system and \"translates\" parameters such as positioning data, drive status, start\/stop commands, and so on. The communication flow between the two sides of the gateway is transparent and independent, so that the honing machine, as a separate node in the factory shop, is fully able to communicate with the entire factory network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
