RAPID-UG V3803

EtherNet/IP RapID™ Platform Universal Gateway Connectivity Solution for 2-Port Adapters The RapID Platform Universal Gateway combines all analog and digital signals for the EtherNet/IP Industrial Ethernet interface on a 45 x 25 mm form factor The gateway contains everything needed including the communications controller, protocol stacks, Flash, RAM, and analog driver so the user does not need to know anything about the EtherNet/IP protocol. All EtherNet/IP capabilities are encapsulated on this small, DIL-32 form factor device, and can be integrated into any type of automation equipment from complex control to a simple sensor or actuator. The RapID Universal Gateway connects to a “Host” processor via a UART interface or it can be operated stand-alone. In either type of operation, the EtherNet/IP communication has been certified by ODVA, passed several ODVAsponsored Plugfests, and tested on the bus with numerous applications to provide problem-free operation with virtually any EtherNet/IP controller. Easy Hardware and Software Integration The RapID Universal Gateway drops into a board using a standard DIL-32 form factor. Both the hardware and software interfaces are standardized and functionally identical. As a result, different RapID Universal Gateway versions are exchangeable, and by socketing the board to accept the module allows for easy configuration of other protocols. When designing-in RapID Universal Gateway, hardware integration is as easy as connecting Power/Ground/Reset, interfacing the Host processor to the UART, and hooking up to the network-side physical interface components. For stand-alone operation there is a Synchronous Serial Interface for connecting switches, analog-to-digital converters, or shift registers. Software integration with a Host processor is also easy since no re-programming is required on the Host processor and the Host firmware is never touched. The RapID Universal Gateway conforms to the Host messages passed over the UART by using a “script”. This script transforms the UART messages into the appropriate EtherNet/IP messages. Simply write a script to interpret the UART messages and the field device is ready to talk on the network. www.innovasic.com EtherNet/IP RapID™ Platform Universal Gateway Connectivity Solution for 2-Port Adapters Easy Network Integration The EtherNet/IP RapID Universal Gateway comes with PriorityChannel™ technology to ensure reliable, real-time network performance. Also included are the latest features for the EtherNet/IP protocol specification including Address Conflict Detection (ACD). This feature is useful so devices can be easily added or removed from the network. When a device is added to a network, it is sometimes useful to retrieve information directly from the device. A Web Server is provided for this purpose. The server can be customized to show device and company-specific information. An ESD file is required for EtherNet/IP. This file describes a device’s capabilities to the controller. The example ESD file provided can be tailored to describe the exact features of the final product. Easy Evaluation, Fast Product Development The Evaluation Kit available for RapID Universal Gateway provides quick assessment for interfacing a Host processor to the module. Simply connect the Host processor development board to the RapID Universal Gateway evaluation board via the UART interface. The free Protocol Developer tool is used to write a script that describes the Host processor UART messages. Once Host-side UART communication is established using the script, EtherNet/IP communication can be Parameter Details rd evaluated using 3 -Party, PC-based Tools.
