Chapter 1 Initial Setup
Introduction
This chapter provides information about how to perform initial setup of the EA3600 adapter. It also includes
information on how to use the Zebra Industrial Ethernet Configuration Utility to verify functionality and configure the
EA3600. The latest version of this software can be downloaded from the Zebra support website at:
http://www.zebra.com/support.
Hardware/Software Prerequisites
The following list of components is required for initial setup, testing, and development of Industrial Ethernet
applications that use the EA3600.
•
EA3600 Network Connect Adapter
•
A compatible Zebra corded or cordless scanner (such as a DS3608 or DS3678).
•
For a cordless scanner setup, an appropriate cradle (such as an STB3678 or FLB3678) is also required.
•
Zebra Industrial Ethernet Configuration Utility software.
•
A PC running Windows 7, or higher, to run the Zebra Industrial Ethernet Configuration Utility.
•
An Industrial Ethernet PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) that supports one of the support protocols
(EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus TCP).
•
Ethernet switch or router (if not connecting EA3600 directly to a PLC) and Ethernet cables.
•
Industrial Ethernet Developer Files zip file (CAAEAS00-001-RXXD0.ZIP) that includes the following
components:
• EDS files and Logix Designer Sample application and exported Scanner Routine.
• GSDML files and Step 7/TIA Sample applications and function blocks.
IMPORTANT The EA3600 was tested with the following scanner versions:
- DS3608 HP/SR - CAACJS00-003-R00
- DS3678 HP/SR - CAACKS00-003-R00
- DS3608 DP - CAADJS00-002-R00
IMPORTANT Industrial Ethernet testing was performed with the following PLCs and software:
- Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC (6ES7 215-1AG40-0XB0) and TIA v15.1 SP1 Software
- Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 PLC (6ES7 317-2EK14-0AB0) - and Step 7 v5.5 SP4 Software
- Rockwell Automation Compact Logix L24ER (QB1B) and Logix Studio 5000 v24 Software
