1. MODBUS/TCP MAP

Introduction
MODBUS TCP is a protocol commonly used for the integration of a SCADA system. It is also a vendor-
neutral communication protocol used to monitor and control industrial automation equipment such as PLCs,
sensors, and meters. In order to be fully integrated into industrial systems, Moxas switches support
Modbus TCP/IP protocol for real-time monitoring in a SCADA system.

Data Format and Function Code

MODBUS TCP supports different types of data format for reading. The primary four types of them are:

Data Access Type Function Function Name Note

Code
Bit access Physical Discrete Inputs 2 Read Discrete Inputs
Internal Bits or Physical 1 Read Coils
Coils
Word access Physical Input Registers 4 Read Input Registers Moxa Support
(16-bit access) Physical Output 3 Read Holding Registers
Registers

Moxa switches support Function Code 4 with 16-bit (2-word) data access for read-only information.

Configuring MODBUS/TCP on Moxa Switches

Type 1

Select the checkbox and click Activate to enable the Modbus TCP.
Industrial Protocols MODBUS/TCP MAP

Type 2: New UI 2.0

Modbus TCP is enabled by default. To disable Modbus TCP, uncheck Enable Modbus TCP then click Apply.

MODBUS Data Map and Information

Interpretation of Moxa Switches
The data map addresses of Moxa switches shown in the following table start from MODBUS address
30001 for Function Code 4. For example, the address offset 0x0000 (hex) equals MODBUS address 30001,
and the address offset 0x0010 (hex) equals MODBUS address 30017. Note that all the information read
from Moxa switches are in hex mode. To interpret the information, refer to the ASCII table for the
translation (e.g. 0x4D = M, 0x6F = o).

2. EtherNet/IP

Introduction
EtherNet/IP is an Industrial Ethernet Protocol defined by the ODVA association. The protocol is open to the
public and vendors can implement EtherNet/IP into their industrial devices without incurring a license fee.
Many vendors have adopted this protocol as the standard communication protocol between devices. For
example, Rockwell Automation uses EtherNet/IP as the standard protocol for their Logix controllers over
Ethernet networks.

To allow complete integration with a Rockwell system, Moxa switches not only provide a full-functioning of
industrial network infrastructure, but also enable the SCADA system to monitor the status of the switches
as well as that of the PLCs, .making the switches part of a Rockwell system.

Messaging Types
EtherNet/IP supports two types of communication methods for EtherNet/IP devices: Explicit Messaging and
Implicit Messaging. Explicit Messaging is unscheduled and is used for a request/response communication
procedure (or client/server procedure). Explicit Messaging uses TCP/IP over Ethernet. Implicit Messaging is
scheduled and is used for a producer/consumer communication with UDP over Ethernet. Implicit Messaging
is also called I/O Messaging.

Configuring EtherNet/IP on Moxa Switches

Type 1:

Check the Enable checkbox to enable EtherNet/IP. With EtherNet/IP enabled, IGMP Snooping and IGMP
Query functions will be enabled automatically to be properly integrated in Rockwell systems for multicast
Implicit (I/O) Messaging.
Industrial Protocols EtherNet/IP

Type 2: New UI2.0

The default Modbus TCP support is enabled. To disable the Modebus TCP support, uncheck the Enable
Modbus TCP then click Apply to activate the setting.

CIP Objects of EtherNet/IP

Several communication objects are defined in CIP (Common Industrial Protocol). Moxa switches support the
following objects for PLCs and SCADA systems to monitor:

Identity Object
TCP/IP Interface Object
Ethernet Link Object
Assembly Object
Message Router Object
Connection Manager Object
Port Object
Moxa Networking Object (Vendor Specific)

The supported attributes and services of the above objects are introduced in the table below, including the
access rules for each attribute. To understand the details of each attribute of the standard objects, refer to
the official documents of CIP introduction (Vol. 1) and the EtherNet/IP Adaptation of CIP (Vol. 2).

Identity Object
The Class code of Identity object is 0x01 (Defined in CIP Vol1, 5-2).

There is one instance of this object in our product. It stores the information of the production and the

Rockwell RSLogix 5000 Add-On Instructions

(AOI)
The Rockwell RSLogix 5000 Add-On Instructions (AOI) encapsulates Moxa switch supported EtherNet/IP
functions in a common interface logic component. In RSLogix 5000 programming, users could use the AOI
to communicate with Moxa switches and need not know the internal logic.

Our AOI would provide logic of Moxa switch configuration and monitoring by using EtherNet/IP in explicit
messaging and implicit messaging. The AOI also provides some tags for RSLogix 5000/SCADA
programming.

AOI Installation
To install the AOI, you must use Rockwell RSLogix 5000 version 18 or later and Moxa managed Ethernet
switches with firmware version 3.0 or later.

The Five Major Stages of Installing the AOI

1. Add Moxa switch to the I/O configuration tree

2. Import the Add-On Instruction (AOI)
3. Add an instance of the AOI in your application
4. Create and configure tags for the AOI
5. Download the configured AOI to Rockwell PLC

Add Moxa switch to the I/O configuration tree

In order to import the AOI, the first step is to create a new Ethernet Module in RSLogix 5000.

Pre-configured Tags in the Moxa AOI

The Moxa AOI supports all the CIP tags listed in the tables above. But in the AOI, we only pre-configure
logic links between selected tags and Moxa switches. To monitor the non-configured tags, PLC
programmers need to create the links manually. Otherwise, in RSLogix 5000, the value column of these
tags will display as 0. If you experience problems creating new links, please contact Moxa technical
support for assistance.

NOTE For pre-configured tags, Moxa has already created the logic links between the CIP tags and Moxa Ethernet
switches so RSLogix 5000 can get/set the switch information correctly.

3. PROFINET I/O

Introduction
This section is supported only with EDS-400A-PN, EDS-510E, and EDS-G500E series devices.

PROFINET is a communication standard for automation of PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI). It is
100% Ethernet-compatible as defined in IEEE standards. With PROFINET, applications can be implemented
for production and process automation, safety applications, and the entire range of drive technology. With
its integrated Ethernet-based communication, PROFINET satisfies a wide range of requirements, from data-
intensive parameter assignment to extremely fast I/O data transmission.

PROFINET I/O is used for data exchange between I/O controllers (PLC, etc.) and I/O devices (field devices).
This specification defines a protocol and an application interface for exchanging I/O data, alarms, and
diagnostics. And its real-time (RT) solution allows response time in the range of 5 ms, which corresponds to
todays PROFIBUS DP applications.

PROFINET Environmental Introductions

PROFINET Networking Structure

PROFINET I/O follows the Provider/Consumer model for data exchange. PROFINET forms logical link
relationships between network character types. They are shown below.

There are 3 major character types defined by PROFINET I/O, including I/O controller, I/O supervisor, and
I/O devices. Switches are considered I/O devices.

I/O Controller

This is typically the programmable logic controller (PLC) on which the automation program runs. The I/O
controller provides output data to the configured I/O-devices in its role as provider and is the consumer of
input data of I/O devices.
Industrial Protocols PROFINET I/O

I/O Supervisor

This can be a programming device, personal computer (PC), or human machine interface (HMI) device for
commissioning or diagnostic purposes.

I/O Device

An I/O device is a distributed I/O field device that is connected to one or more I/O controllers via PROFINET
I/O. The I/O device is the provider of input data and the consumer of output data.

PROFINET I/O Devices

The MOXA switch is a PROFINET I/O device. A device model describes all field devices in terms of their
possible technical and functional features. It is specified by the DAP (Device Access Point) and the defined
modules for a particular device family. A DAP is the access point for communication with the Ethernet
interface and the processing program.

PROFINET Protocols

DCP

In PROFNET I/O, each field device has a symbolic name that uniquely identifies the field device within a
PROFINET I/O system. This name is used for assigning the IP address and the MAC address. The DCP
protocol (Dynamic Configuration Protocol) integrated in every I/O device is used for this purpose.

DHCP

Because DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is in widespread use internationally, PROFINET has
provided for optional address setting via DHCP or via manufacturer-specific mechanisms.

PROFINET Type LLDP

Automation systems can be configured flexibly in a line, star, or tree structure. To compare the specified
and actual topologies, to determine which field devices are connected to which switch port, and to identify
the respective port neighbor, LLDP according to IEEE 802.1AB was applied in PROFINET I/O.

PROFINET filed bus exchange existing addressing information with connected neighbour devices via each
switch port. The neighbor devices are thereby unambiguously identified and their physical location is
determined.

Device descriptions

GSD file

The GSD files (General Station Description) of the field devices to be configured are required for system
engineering. This XML-based GSD describes the properties and functions of the PROFINET I/O field devices. It
contains all data relevant for engineering as well as for data exchange with the device.
Find your field device GSD file in the CD or download the GSD file from the MOXA web site.

Configuring PROFINET I/O on Moxa Switches

Enable PROFINET I/O

Enable PROFINET in WEB UI

Type 1

Select the Enable option and click Activate to enable PROFINET I/O. With PROFINET I/O enabled, PROFINET
type LLDP will be enabled automatically.
Select the Disable option and click Activate to disable PROFINET I/O, the switch will disable PROFINET type
LLDP and use standard LLDP.
PROFINET special model is enabled by default on the EDS-400A-PN series switches.

Type 2: New UI 2.0

The default PROFINET I/O setting of EDS E series is disabled. To enable the PROFINET I/O support, check the
Enable PROFINET I/O and click Apply.

NOTE: Enabling PROFINET will prevent MXview (2.2 and earlier versions) from performing auto-detection of
network topology. Auto-detection of network topology is only supported by versions of MXview 2.3 and later.
To use auto-detection in earlier versions of MXview (2.2 and earlier), you should first disable PROFINET I/O,
perform MXview auto-detection of network topology, and then enable PROFINET I/O.

CLI

The CLI (command line interface) can be used to enable or disable PROFINET for the switch.

Command List:

profinetio to enable PROFINET I/O.

no profinetio to disable PROFINET I/O.

Addressing of I/O Data in PROFINET I/O

Based on Slot and Sub-Slots
The concept of the MOXA PROFINET switch with GSD version 2 is shown the table below. In this structure,
each switch port represents one sub-slot.

Manufacturer Information

Each PROFINET device is addressed based on a MAC address. This address is unique worldwide. The
company code (bits 47 to 24) can be obtained from the IEEE Standards Department free of charge. This
part is called the OUI (organizationally unique identifier).

Table. MOXA OUI

Bit Value 47..24 Bit Value 23..0

0 0 0 2 2 9 x x x x x x

Company Code (OUI) Consecutive Number

PROFINET Attributes
The PROFINET I/O connection can be configured for both cyclic I/O data and I/O parameters. I/O
parameters are acyclic I/O data. These are major setup and monitor attributes in PROFINET.

Cyclic I/O Data

Cyclic I/O data are always sent between the PLC and Switches at the specified periodic time. These data
are transmitted almost real time. For example, status information from the Switches, and variables to
be written to the Switch would typically be part of the cyclic data.
I/O Parameters
PROFINET I/O parameters are defined for device configuration and status monitoring. These data are
useful for infrequent data transfers, or for very large data transfers. Only transfer when needed
Alarm
Alarms are mainly PROFINET I/O transmitted high-priority events. Alarm data are exchanged between
an I/O device and an I/O controller. Once an event triggers it, the switch will send the alarm to the PLC
immediately. Enable or disable these alarms by setting I/O parameters.

PROFINET Cyclic I/O Data

The MOXA PROFINET switch provides PROFINET I/O cyclic data and includes the following items:

Industrial Protocols PROFINET I/O

NOTE: The default transfer frequency of PROFINET Cyclic I/O data is 128 ms. There are 3 options available
in SIMATIC STEP 7: 128/256/512 ms.
