HI 800 101 HIMatrix Engineering Manual
tem is running. With the use of switches transmission times can be clearly defined. In this
way Ethernet works in real-time.
The possible transfer speed up to 100 Mbit/s for safety-related data is higher then the speed
normally used. For example copper lines as well as fiber optic cables can be used as trans-
mission media.
The integration of firm intranets as well as connections to the Internet can be realized with
safeethernet technology. The terms for safety-related communication according to the
HIMatrix Safety Manual have to be considered. Therefore only one network for safety and
non-safety data transfer is necessary.
Safeethernet can be fitted to existing Ethernet networks with adjustable network profiles.
With safeethernet one can built-up flexible system structures for the decentral automation
with defined reaction times. According to the requirements the intelligence can be centralized
or distributed in a decentral way to the participants within the network. There is no limit in the
number of safe participants of the network and the amount of transferred safe data to get the
needed reaction times. A central controller and the built-up of parallel structures are there-
fore superfluous.
The transmission of safe data is integrated in the existing Ethernet network. A separate safe-
ty bus can be saved. The switches in the HIMatrix controllers overtake tasks for which nor-
mally network switches are needed.
The configuration of safeethernet is described in System Manual Compact Systems.
5.2.3 Ethernet/IP
Ethernet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) is an open industrial communication standard for
exchange of process data via Ethernet.
For further informations see also http://www.odva.org (ODVA = Open DeviceNet Vendor
Association).
Via Ethernet/IP
HIMatrix controllers can communicate with other Ethernet/IP devices (e.g.
PLC, sensors, actuators and industrial robots).
The physical connection of Ethernet/IP runs over Ethernet interfaces with 10/100 Mbit/s.
In Hardware Management of ELOP II Factory the Ethernet/IP protocol can be configured for
HIMatrix controllers (with layout 2, hardware revision 2).
A
HIMatrix controller can be configured as Ethernet/IP scanner and/or as Ethernet/IP target.
Further details about Ethernet/IP communication you will find in online help of ELOP II Fac-
tory.
5.2.4 TCP S/R (Send/Receive over TCP)
TCP S/R is a manufacturer-independent, non safety-related protocol for cyclic and acyclic
data exchange and does not require a specific protocol except for TCP/IP.
With the TCP S/R protocol the HIMatrix controllers support almost every third-party system
and also PCs with an available socket interface (e.g. winsock.dll) to TCP/IP.
Note
In the first place the non safety-related TCP S/R protocol is an
additional interface to communicate with systems from other
manufacturers.
For the communication between HIMatrix controllers via Ethernet
the safety-related HIMA peer-to-peer protocol should be used.
Further informations about the TCP S/R protocol you will find in the corresponding manual
and/or in the online help of ELOP II Factory.
