netFIELD Device IO-Link Wireless Master - Business Model

Direct Selling - Preloaded communication module

The Device is sold as a product directly by Hilscher HQ, by the distributors and by the subsidiaries.

You can use netRAPID 90 as companion solution in the style of a communication module to be connected with a host CPU.

In this scenario, netRAPID 90 comes preloaded with a communication protocol and is ready to use.

For the companion solution, no netX licence or support contracts are required.

In the preloaded version, the pin assignment is fixed to certain functionality:

Real-Time Ethernet or Fieldbus Slave
SPI interface to the host CPU
LEDs (COM0, COM1, Link/Activity 0/1)
SYNC0/1
UART Diagnosis
+3.3V, GND

Standalone Solution - Programming platform like a netX90 chip

You can use netRAPID 90 in a stand-alone solution without any host.

This use case can be considered as nearly identical to the direct use of a netX 90 chip.

The pin assignment is flexible and can be adapted by the customer according to his or her needs by using the tool netX Studio CDT.

For this approach, a netX license and support agreement as well as the purchase of appropriate protocol stacks are required.

In this scenario, the netRAPID 90 is provided as a pure hardware-platform.

Option:

To reduce production costs at the OEM, Hilscher optionally offers the service to supply netRAPID 90 preloaded with customer specific content.

For further details about this service please contact the Hilscher sales team.

Getting Started

Step	Descrition
Requirements and preparation	Prepare the device installation and commissioning according to the requirements descriptions on hardware, system and software. Prepare the required mounting tools.
Safety	Read the mounting instructions and the safety instructions on connecting and commissioning the device. Disconnect the system to which the device will be mounted from the power supply.
Mounting	Mark the positions to fasten the device with screws and cut the M4 holes. Fasten the device with the screws. Ground the device. Mount all three SMA antennas.
Connecting and booting	Connect the Ethernet M12 cable to the NFD-3090-EIS-IOLM\W device and to the PLC (EtherNet/IP Scanner). Connect the +24 V DC SELV or PELV power supply to the NFD-3090-EIS-IOLM\W device. Connect the +24 V DC SELV or PELV power supply to the sensor/actuator. Switch on the power supply units of the device and of the sensors/actuators.
Commissioning PROFINET IO Device	Configure the PROFINET IO-Controller: Import the GSDML file: GSDML-V2.35-HILSCHER-NETFIELD-WIRELESS-20200624.xml This file is to be used if settings of the „Wireless Master Parameters“ are made using the configuration software of the PROFINET IO-Controller. GSDML-V2.35-HILSCHER-NETFIELD-WIRELESS-NOCONFIG-20200624.xml This file is to be used if settings of the „Wireless Master Parameters“ are made using the netFIELD Web Server. Create the configuration project with PROFINET IO-Controller and PROFINET IO-Device, select the modules and submodules and set the parameters. Configure the IO-Link Wireless Master NFD-3090-PNS-IOLM\W using the Web Server. Configure the port parameters via the PROFINET IO-Controller or using the Web Server. Configure the IO-Link sensors/actuators.
Commissioning EtherNet/IP Adapter	For the first commissioning, the NFD-3090-EIS-IOLM\W device requires a DHCP server. Configure the EtherNet/IP Scanner: Import the EDS file: HILSCHER_NETFIELD_V1.1_IOL_W.EDS Create the configuration project with EtherNet/IP Scanner and EtherNet/IP Adapter, select the connection and set the parameters. Configure the IO-Link Wireless Master NFD-3090-EIS-IOLM\W using the Web Server. Configure the port parameters via the EtherNet/IP Scanner or using the Web Server. Configure the IO-Link sensors/actuators.

Note:

Depending on the available memory size (Internal RAM / Flash and external SDRAM / SQI Flash) different firmware functionality can be used.

Firmware for small footprint, low cost and function optimized slave devices
Use Case A firmware for internal RAM / Flash only
Full featured firmware for highest function requirements
Use Case C firmware which needs external SDRAM / SQI Flash

Details about the avaialble functionality can be found in the Technology section.

Host interface channel structure of NRP 51-RE

Channel 0: Real-Time Ethernet or Fieldbus Slave (Cyclic & Acyclic I/O)

Channel 1: NDIS, TCP socket and Web Interace

Channel 2: IOT communication as future option

Note1: At netRAPID90 All 3 channel can be can only be accessed in SPM host interface mode.

Note2: netRAPID 90 owns 4 MAC addresses (MAC0 to MAC3), which will be provided per default from the Hilscher MAC address pool.

MAC0 will be used for RTE communication in channel 0. MAC1 and MAC2 are reserved for Real-Time Ethernet. MAC3 will be used for Raw Ethernet.

TCP socket in channel 1 and future IoT communication in channel 2 will use the same MAC0 and IP as the RTE communication.

Raw Ethernet in channel 1 will use MAC3. IP address will be provided from the host application.
