Introduction

This Application note explanes, how to configure a generic modular adapter, when the entry for "ProxyConnect" is not described in the Ethernet/IP Slave Device Description (EDS).

...

It can be decoded as follows:

O → T

,0,,

Since the field “O->T size” is not empty, it can directly be read – 0 Byte.

...

The Assemblys Member informations can be read as follows:

The field of the first Member indicated, that it has a data length of 16 bit. It also has a Reference to Param101.

...

Go back the definition of Assem124, the Second Member has a length of 16 and has no Reference entry. This means, all data are defined with value 0.

	Member Size	Member Reference	Data (Hex)	Swap
First Member	16	Param101	01 00

Configure cfg. #2 data segment

The cfg #1 data segment is defined field "$ config part 12" of Connection23:

Here Assem124 Assem103 is used to define the format. Go to the definition of Assem124:

In this case, both Values ("Member Size" and "Member Reference" have to be evaluated.

The Assemblys Member informations can be read as follows:

...

Assem103:

This Assembly has a few more Members.

Please repeate the procedure mentioned in the first data segment for each Member.

For example the first Member:

The Size of this Member is definded with 16Bit and has a Reference to Param9:

The Size is defined witzh 2 Bytes, the Default Value is 1000 (Hex 03E8):

When analyzing all Members ans Parameters, the following table can be created:

Therefore the cfg #2 data segment results in:

E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803 E803
