  1. Introducing Ethernet/IP(IP stands for Industrial Protocol) Nick Jones and William H. (Bill) Moss 6th ODVA Annual Meeting Tampa, FL March 8, 2000

  2. I need Ethernet – Why? • Customers Asking for it • Other Vendors are doing it • I think it will be faster, easier and cheaper • I want to use existing wire • I think it will give me better connectivity • I think Ethernet is going to be the Fieldbus winner

  3. Customers & Other Vendors • Pressure to add Ethernet • Large companies have used Ethernet at the controller level • Smaller companies are using at the I/O level • Now users are asking for its use at all levels

  4. Some Customer Requirements • Absolutely no changes shall be required to any existing node on DeviceNet to allow accessibility from Ethernet!!! • Should be able to route messages from Ethernet to DeviceNet without making any DeviceNet product changes • Where it make sense, reuse the application layer architecture that already exists in the DeviceNet spec • Reuse the same Application Objects and same Device Profiles • Expand as required to support any new requirements • Need to use Commercial Off The Shelf technology • Use standard Ethernet chip sets • Use standard TCP/ UDP / IP protocol • Allow for operation of other standard TCP/ IP applications like: FTP, HTTP, SNMP, DHCP, BOOTP, DNS, etc.

  5. Device Access Requirements • Require “temporary” access to all devices (“unconnected”) • Access to device resources can’t be permanently “blocked” or held by any one device • Always allow access to devices for intermittent “one-time” services • Devices should always support a non-reserved access point for non-time critical applications • Example: “who”, get attribute, set attribute • Example: The Hotel has a reservation phone line (that is not always busy) to allow room reservations to be made or cancelled • Optionally support “persistent” access to devices (“connected”) • This allows customers to make sure that device resources can be “reserved” or “guaranteed” for important / time critical applications • Example: You can make a “guaranteed” hotel reservation before you board a plane

  6. Encapsulation Requirements • Encapsulation=> To put one protocol inside of another • Typically a higher layer protocol in the data portion of a lower layer • Example: encapsulate a DeviceNet message inside of a TCP/IP packet • Shall be general enough to support delivering both DeviceNet and non-DeviceNet messages over TCP/IP to the appropriate network • Allows connectivity to other “open” networks (e.g.,Modbus) • Allows connectivity to “legacy”, proprietary or other vendor specific networks • Support a set of “common” protocol independent services • Standard way to do a WHO, ping, request/response, etc. • Be able to determine what protocol(s) a device supports • Support vendor specific services • Support both unsolicited and solicited services • Support “common” method for the first hop • Ability to deliver any encapsulated frame to the correct router

  7. Explicit Message Requirements • Need temporary and persistent access to all devices • Need to be able to do upload and download of programming information to devices • Need access to individual parameters within a device • Need to be able to do configuration of HMI, DeviceNet scanners, robots, PLCs, weld controllers, etc • Need to be able to collect data from end devices • Collect status and maintenance information from a drive, valve controller, motion controller, etc. • Needs to support multiple outstanding requests to a device • Needs to support multiple requests to the same device in a single TCP/IP packet

  8. I/O Message Requirements • Need to be able to exchange I/O data between devices using connected / “reserved” resources • In addition, be able to; • Support several different I/O data trigger methods: COS, Cyclic, etc • Support rapid I/O timeouts • Guarantee freshest data is used • Verify device identity before exchanging data • Support an Open scanlist configuration method • Need to allow for multicast data services for maximum efficiency and synchronism • Need to allow scanners to support I/O connections across multiple routers

  9. Routing Diagram I/O (PC) Programming SW (PC) Data Collection ENet to ENet Ethernet DNet to ENet to DNet ENET Router ENET • ENet to DNet • DNet to ENet Router I/O DNET DNET DeviceNet Router DNET DeviceNet DeviceNet DNET P L C D N E T I/O I/O I/O I/O DNet to DNet

  10. Routing Requirements • Need to support data “routing” between networks with the application layer • Enet subnet to ENet subnet • ENet to DNet • DNet to ENet • DNet to DNet • DNet to ENet to DNet • Other multi-hop combinations • I/O and Explicit Messaging available with routing • Routing support for alternate protocols • Support “generic” single hop routing for any protocol

  11. Level 1 (Explicit Message - Server / Target only) • Used for explicit messaging applications only • Acts as a target for connected and unconnected explicit messages • Example: Program upload / download, data collection, status monitoring, etc • Level 2 (I/O Message - Server / Target only) • Adds I/O messaging support to Level 1 • Acts as a “target” for both explicit andI/O messages • Example: Simple I/O devices, Pneumatic Valve, AC Drive • Level 3 (Explicit Message - Client / Originator + Server / Target) • Adds Client support to Level 1 explicit messaging applications only • Acts as a target and an originator for messaging applications • Example: Computer interface cards, HMI and MMI devices Layered ENet Product Model “Only implement the functionality you need ” Level 4 I/O Client Level 2 I/O Server • Level 4 (I/O Message - Client / Originator + Server / Target) • Adds I/O message origination support to Level 1,2 and 3 • Acts as a target and an originator for explicit andI/O messages • Example: PLCs, I/O Scanners, Logic Controllers Level 3 Message Client Level 1 Message Server

  12. TCP/IP Protocol Suite “”The DeviceNet Application Protocol Process Layer BOOTP DHCP FTP HTTP DNS “The Application Layer ” SNMP Host - to - Host Layer TCP UDP OSPF IGMP ICMP IGRP Internet Layer ARP IP RARP Any IP based network (i.e., Ethernet) Network Access Layer

  19. Level 1 (Explicit Message - Server / Target only) • Used for explicit messaging applications only • Acts as a target for connected and unconnected explicit messages • Example: Program upload / download, data collection, status monitoring, etc • Level 2 (I/O Message - Server / Target only) • Adds I/O messaging support to Level 1 • Acts as a “responder” for both explicit andI/O messages • Example: Simple I/O devices, simple router (ENet side) • Level 3 (Explicit Message - Client / Originator + Server / Target) • Adds Client support to Level 1 explicit messaging applications only • Acts as a target and an originator for messaging applications • Example: Computer interface cards, HMI and MMI devices Layered Product Model • “Layered Product Model” approach • “Only implement the functionality you need on Ethernet” Level 4 I/O Client Level 2 I/O Server • Level 4 (I/O Message - Client / Originator + Server / Target) • Adds I/O origination support to Level 1,2 and 3 • Acts as a target and an originator for explicit andI/O messages • Example: PLCs, I/O scanners, logic controllers, high end routers Level 3 Message Client Level 1 Message Server

  20. Free Technology • Level 1 (Explicit Message - Server / Target only) • Used for explicit messaging applications only • Acts as a target for connected and unconnected explicit messages • Example: Program upload / download, data collection, status monitoring, etc • Level 2 (I/O Message - Server / Target only) • Adds I/O messaging support to Level 1 • Acts as a “responder” for both explicit andI/O messages • Example: Simple I/O server devices • In an effort to give vendors a “jump start” on an EtherNet/IP product development, ODVA will make the “Level 2” technology available free of charge! • Provide free example code for “Level 2” functionality • Provide a free copy of the Ethernet/IP Specification Level 2 I/O Server Level 1 Message Server

  21. What Is Example Code? • The example code is the ‘C’ source code (or “stack”) that is provided to product developers to allow them to embed the application layer within their TCP/IP Ethernet product • The Example code contains the ‘C’ source code required to implement the application layer on top of a TCP/IP Ethernet stack • This includes support for “Level 2” required objects • Also include support for a general purpose “assembly object” • The developer needs to provide the following commercially available items; • The appropriate Ethernet hardware platform • Any optional product or vendor specific application objects • TCP/IP stack with a “Berkley Sockets” (BSD) interface • A multitasking real time operating system (RTOS) • The Example code is currently being developed with; • VxWorks RTOS from WindRiver Systems • TCP/IP stack also from WindRiver Systems • The example code will also be tested on a Microsoft PC platform (NT4.0)
