Final assembly configuration of 1734-IB8
Configure 1734-OB8E
EtherNet/IP is a connection-oriented protocol, therefore the connection should always be specified first.
Open the EDS for 1734-OB8E and go to the section [Connection Manager], assuming that Connection9 (Exclusive Owner) will be used:
Configure connection settings
Please choose "Connection" in the Navigation Area of the Modular Generic Adapter. Select the Module “Slot<2> 1734-OB8E”.
Decode the field "trigger & transport" and "realtime format", which are defined in Connection9.
These parameters describe the connection variables, which have to be filled in the Connection configuration Window in Sycon.net.
The free Tool "EZ-EDS" from ODVA (https://www.odva.org/software/EZ-EDS-Download), can be used to make decoding of the parameters easier.
Therefore, open the EDS by selecting "File → Open…”. Select "Generic EDS" as EDS type and ignore the upcoming error messages.
When the file is successfully opened, select “Connection1” in the left tree view.
The name “Connection9” in EDS file is automatically converted to “Connection1”.
The following dialog window:
Based on these informations, now configure the Connection Area in Sycon.net:
Don't forget, to set the Connection name to "Connection9".
Configure assembly instance ID
Choose "Assembly" in the Navigation Area of the Modular Generic Adapter now. Select the Module “Slot<2> 1734-OB8E”.
Now the Connection Path has to be filled in. The Connection Path is described in the EDS here:
Switch back to EZ-EDS, select “Connection1” in the left tree view.
Click the Button "Decode Path". A new Window will pop up. Select decimal format in this dialog now the instance ID can be read out for Configuration in Sycon.net.
Based on the above information, the assembly Instance ID can be specified.
The instance "20 04 24 7B 2C 22 2C 2C" can also be decoded manually as follows:
| 20 04 | 24 67 | 2C 22 | 2C 2C |
|---|---|---|---|
Logical Segment, Class ID 0x04(4) | Configuration path, instance ID 0x7B (123) | O2T Connection Point, output Assembly instance ID 0xBE (34) | T2O Connection Point, input Assembly instance ID 0x04 (44). |
