To Remove or Replace Factory Pullup Resistors…

Locate pullup resistor SIP’s installed in sockets of plug-in I/O board asshown above. You must remove the right side cover and separate the twoboards to remove or install these resistors. 5.6K resistor SIP’s are installedfrom the factory. Remove these resistors if I/O channels are pulled upexternally. Limit power in each SIP resistor to less than 0.5W.

When attaching the module to theT-type DIN rail, angle the top of theunit towards the rail and locate thetop groove of the adapter over theupper lip of the rail. Firmly push theunit towards the rail until it snaps intoplace. To remove, first separate theinput terminal block(s) from thebottom side of the module to create aclearance to the DIN mounting area.Next, while holding the module inplace from above, insert ascrewdriver into the lower arm of theDIN rail connector and use it as alever to force the connector downuntil the unit disengages from the rail(do not twist the screwdriver to avoiddamaging plastic).

I/O PULLUPRESISTORINSTALLATIONYou must connect excitationand/or install pull-ups forproper I/O operation. I/Oterminals must not be leftfloating.

5.6KΩ I/O pull-up resistors arealready installed from thefactory. You do not need torefer to this information unlessyou need to change or removethese resistors.

If your application deliverspower to the I/O terminalsrather than the excitationterminal, the internal pull-upsshould be removed to avoidcoupling current into adjacentport channels.

Acromag 983EN-6012Ethernet Module. The ethernet port of thismodule is not automaticMDI/MDI-X crossoverand is wired MDI.

CONNECTIONSNetworkFor 100Base-TX systems, at aminimum, use data gradeUnshielded Twisted-Pair(UTP) wiring that has a 100Ωcharacteristic impedance andmeets the EIA/TIA Category 5wire specifications.

It is recommended that youuse a crossover CAT-5 cableto connect this device to yourPC.

For 10Base-T systems, youmay use Category 3, Category4, or Category 5/5E UTP/STPcable.

In either case, you are limitedto 100 meters between anytwo devices.

A crossover cable simplyconnects the differentialtransmit pair on each end, tothe receive pair on theopposite end.

Use a standard (direct) cablewhen connecting to a hub orswitch port, which aregenerally wired MDI-X.

HOST PC

Acromag 9xxEN-4012or 9xxEN-6012Ethernet Modules. The ethernet port of thesemodules are not automaticMDI/MDI-X crossover, butthe use of an auto-crossingswitch eliminates the needto make a distinction betweenstraight-through and crossovercables.

Order Acromag Cable Model 5035-355


ETHERNETSWITCH

DIP SW S1/S2CFG OPTIONS






The ethernet port of the PC isgenerally not automatic MDI/MDI-Xcrossover and is wired MDI.

Because the Acromag ethernet switch900EN-S005 is automatic MDI/MDI-Xcrossover, use of a direct (straight-through)or crossover cable is permissible.

IMPORTANT: IF THE HOST PC CONNECTS DIRECTLY TO THE MODULE,YOU MUST USE A CROSS-CONNECT CABLE (MDI-X), AS BOTH THE PCAND THE 9XXEN MODULE ETHERNET PORTS ARE WIRED MDI. ETHERNET SWITCHES AND HUBS ARE WIRED MDI-X.THE ACROMAG ETHERNET SWITCH IS AUTOMATIC MDI/MDI-X ANDELIMINATES THE NEED FOR MAKING A DISTINCTION BETWEENTHE USE OF STRAIGHT-THROUGH (MDI) AND CROSSOVER (MDI-X)CABLE CONNECTIONS.

Acromag 900EN-S0055-Port Ethernet Switchor equivalent. The ethernet ports of thisswitch are automatic MDI/MDI-Xcrossing and do not requirecrossover cables.

USE OF AN ETHERNET SWITCH TO NETWORKA HOST PC TO MORE THAN ONE MODULE

Acromag offers a straight-through patch cable (Model 5035-355), or acrossover cable (Model 5035-360) for use with Series 9xxEN modules.

Refer to the Accessory Cables section at the back of this manual for moreinformation on accessory cables including patch and crossover cablesavailable from Acromag and other vendors.

TIP: You can significantly enhance the EMI/RFI performance of yournetwork connections by using Category 5E STP cable (Shielded TwistedPair) with shielded RJ45 plug connectors. This will also help to protect yourinstallation from damage due to ESD (Electro-Static Discharge). The use ofshielded cable is strongly recommended for installations in harsh industrialenvironments and/or in the presence of strong electrical fields.

You can use an Ethernet switch or switching hub to build a network ofEthernet modules, similar to that shown below. This drawing shows how tonetwork-connect these modules to a 5-port Ethernet switch (Acromag Model900EN-S005). Note the 900EN-S005 switch has automatic MDI/MDI-Xcrossover and straight-through or crossover cable(s) may be used, but it isgenerally not good practice to use crossover cables to connect to the switch.

Connect 15-36V DC to the power terminals labeled DC+ & DC-.Observe proper polarity. For supply connections, use No. 14 AWGwires rated for at least 75°C. CAUTION: Do not exceed 36VDC peak.

SOLID-STATE RELAY (SSR) OR LED DRIVER

IMPORTANT – Add Protection With Inductive Loads: Outputs alreadyinclude internal reverse-bias shunt diodes to help protect the output switchfrom damage due to the high reverse-bias voltages generated whenswitching inductive loads. You should add external protection near theinductive load to prevent these transients from being sent along theconnection wires. Place a diode (1N4006 or equivalent) across an inductiveload with the cathode to (+) and the anode to (-).

Refer to the examples below for other types of output connections.

Connect Earth Ground as shown in the connection drawings above.Additionally, connect the GND terminal (TB3-33) to earth ground.

The ground connections noted are recommended for best results. Ifsensors are already grounded, use caution and avoid making additionalground connections which could create ground loops.

The plastic module housing does not require earth ground.

PasswordConfiguration Page



12After setting your username and password, you can click the “NetworkConfiguration Page” button to set the network configuration parameters forthe module. You may have to consult your network administrator tocomplete the contents of this page.

Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll down the page as shown below:

An IP Address is a unique identification number for any host (this module)on any TCP/IP network (including the internet). The IP address is made upof four octets (8 bits), each octet having a value between 0-255 (00H-FFH).It is expressed here in decimal form, with a period placed between octets.

A Static IP Address is as the name implies—static, and represents a uniquefixed IP Address that is generally assigned by your service provider orsystem administrator. The Default Mode static IP address assigned to thismodule is 128.1.1.100 (refer to product side label).

NOTE: In order to network your PC with an Acromag module, you may haveto consult with your network administrator and either temporarily changeyour TCP/IP configuration (see TCP/IP Properties of Network Configurationin Windows), or create a separate private network using a second networkadapter installed in your PC (recommended). The necessary steps will varywith your operating system. Refer to Acromag Application Note 8500-734 tohelp accomplish this (located on the CDROM shipped with your module orvia download from our web site at www.acromag.com).

The DNS Server refers to the IP address of the Domain Name Server usedon this network. A DNS server relates symbolic names to actual numeric IPaddresses, while the DHCP server is responsible for dynamically passing outIP addresses.

Network Configuration

Note that Acromag Series9xxEN Ethernet I/O modulesmay take from 3 to 30 secondsto boot upon power-up,depending on your networkconfiguration and whether aDHCP server is present.

This module can be placedinto a default communicationmode via the DFT toggleswitch at the front of themodule.

Default Mode uses a static IPaddress of “128.1.1.100”, adefault subnet mask of“255.255.255.0”, a defaultusername “User”, and adefault password“password00”.



13A Subnet Mask is used to subdivide the host portion of the IP address intotwo or more subnets. The subnet mask will flag the bits of the IP addressthat belong to the network address, and the remaining bits correspond to thehost portion of the address. The unique subnet to which an IP addressrefers to is recovered by performing a bitwise AND operation between the IPaddress and the mask itself, with the result being the sub-network address.

Gateway refers to the IP Address of the gateway, if your local area networkhappens to be isolated by a gateway. Typically, it is assigned the first hostaddress in the subnet. If a gateway is not present, then this field shouldcontain an unused address within the host subnet address range.

The Host Name is the name to be assigned to this host if its addresshappens to be assigned dynamically using DHCP.

The Active IP Address refers to the current IP Address being used by thishost, as opposed to any new assignments being made via this page.

The MAC Address refers to the Media Access Control Address thatuniquely identifies the hardware of this device. This is a unique fixedaddress assigned to this module at the factory. In IEEE 802 networks, theData Link Control (DLC) layer of the OSI Reference Model is divided into twosublayers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer, and the Media AccessControl (MAC) layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the networkmedia (each different type of network media requires a different MAC layer).

By default, the module is setup to use Static IP Addressing and a Static IPAddress of 128.1.1.100. You can optionally choose to have the IP addressassigned dynamically via DHCP/BOOTP or DHCP/BOOTP w/Fallbacks.This will also require that you specify a valid Host Name. You can select“DHCP/BOOTP w/Fallback” and automatically revert to either a static IPaddress, or the last DHCP assigned IP address, if the DHCP or BOOTPserver cannot be found.

In general, BOOTP (BOOTstrap Protocol) refers to an internet protocol thatenables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP address, the address ofa BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to bootthe machine. This enables the workstation or device server to boot withoutrequiring a hard or floppy disk drive. BOOTP works similar to DHCP, but isusually found in older systems. This protocol is defined by RFC 951.

DHCP refers to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and is a method usedto dynamically assign temporary numeric IP addresses as required. Withdynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time itconnects to the network. In some systems, it can even change while it is stillconnected. In general, a DHCP server maintains a pool of shared IPaddresses which are dynamically assigned and recycled. When a DHCPdevice wants to use a TCP/IP application, it must request an IP addressfrom the DHCP server. The DHCP server will check the shared supply, andif all addresses are in use, the server will send a busy signal to the clientwhich tells it to try again later. Thus, although static IP addresses will ensurea connection every time, dynamic addresses will not.

WEB BROWSER




14DHCP also supports a combination of static and dynamic IP addresses. Youcan select “DHCP/BOOTP w/Fallback” and automatically revert to either astatic IP address, or the last DHCP assigned IP address, if the DHCP orBOOTP server cannot be found.

DNS refers to the Domain Name System or Domain Name Server and refersto the system used to associate an alphanumeric character string with anumeric IP address. The DNS is actually a distributed database of domainnames and corresponding IP addresses. These servers contain informationon some segment of the domain name space and make this informationavailable to clients called resolvers. For example, the DNS allows us to use“Acromag.com” as an IP address rather than a complicated number string.

The unit includes a default address toggle switch to cause the module toassume a fixed default static IP address (128.1.1.100). This switch is at thefront of the module and is used to toggle the module into, or out of DefaultMode. If you use the toggle switch at the front of the module to place themodule in default mode, then “Default Communications Mode” will beindicated at the bottom of this screen.

Click the Submit button to complete any changes made on this page.

Click the Wink On/Off button to toggle the module in/out of “wink” ID mode.In this mode, the module’s green RUN LED will blink to confirm identification.

You may refer to the following section to learn more about IP Addressingterms and concepts, or you can skip ahead to the Test Page.

A host is any device on any network. On TCP/IP networks, each host hasone or more unique IP addresses. This module connected to an Ethernetnetwork may be referred to as a host.

An IP Address is a unique identification number for any host (this module) onany TCP/IP network (including the internet). The IP address is made up offour octets (8 bits), each octet having a value between 0-255 (00H-FFH).

The IP address is comprised of two parts: the network address (first part)and the host address (last part). The number of octets of the four total thatbelong to the network address depend on the Class definition (see below).

A Static IP Address is as the name implies—static. That is, it is a unique IPAddress that is assigned by a service provider and never changes.

A Dynamic IP Address is an address that is temporarily assigned to a userby a service provider each time a user connects.

A Subnet is a contiguous string of IP addresses. The first IP address in asubnet is used to identify the subnet, while the last IP address in a subnet isalways used as a broadcast address. Anything sent to the last IP address ofa subnet is sent to every host on that subnet.

WEB BROWSER


The Default CommunicationMode uses a static IP addressof “128.1.1.100”, a defaultsubnet mask of“255.255.255.0”, a defaultusername of “User”, and adefault password of“password00”.

Discussion Topic –IP Addressing



15Subnets are further broken down into three size classes based on the 4octets that make up the IP address. A Class A subnet is any subnet thatshares the first octet of the IP address. The remaining 3 octets of a Class Asubnet will define up to 16,777,214 possible IP addresses (224 – 2). A ClassB subnet shares the first two octets of an IP address (providing 216 – 2, or65534 possible IP addresses). Class C subnets share the first 3 octets of anIP address, giving 254 possible IP addresses. Recall that the first and lastIP addresses are always used as a network number and broadcast addressrespectively, and this is why we subtract 2 from the total possible uniqueaddresses that are defined via the remaining octet(s).

For our example, the default IP address of this module is 128.1.1.100. If weassume that this is a Class C network address (based on the default ClassC subnet mask of 255.255.255.0), then the first three numbers represent thisClass C network at address 128.1.1.0, the last number identifies a uniquehost/node on this network (node 100) at address 128.1.1.100.

A Subnet Mask is used to determine which subnet an IP address belongs to.The use of a subnet mask allows the network administrator to further dividethe host part of this address into two or more subnets. The subnet maskflags the network address portion of the IP address, plus the bits of the hostpart that are used for identifying the sub-network. By convention, the bits ofthe mask that correspond to the sub-network address are all set to 1’s (itwould also work if the bits were set exactly as in the network address). It’scalled a mask because it can be used to identify the unique subnet to whichan IP address belongs to by performing a bitwise AND operation betweenthe mask itself, and the IP address, with the result being the subnetworkaddress, and the remaining bits the host or node address.

For our Example, if we wish to further divide this network into 14 subnets,then the first 4 bits of the host address will be required to identify thesubnetwork (0110), then we would use “11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000” as our subnet mask. This would effectively subdivide our ClassC network into 14 subnetworks of up to 14 possible nodes each.

With respect to the default settings of this module:Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000)IP Address: 128.1.1.100 (10000000.00000001.00000001.01100100)Subnet Address: 128.1.1.0 (1000000.00000001.00000001.00000000)

The subnetwork address of 128.1.1.0 has 254 possible unique nodeaddresses (we are using node 100 of 254 possible). Nodes 0 (first node)and 10 are typically reserved for servers and may yield poor results if used.Node 255 (last node in the subnet) is reserved as a broadcast address forthe subnet.

Discussion Topic –IP Addressing

TIP: The first node (0) andnode 10 are typically reservedfor servers and may yield poorresults if used. The last nodeis reserved as a broadcastaddress for the subnet.



16After completing username and password assignment, plus the networkconfiguration parameters, you can use the Test Page to operate yourmodule. The Test Page will allow you to read inputs, turn outputs on and off,configure the watchdog timer, and set watchdog timeout states.

Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll down the page as shown below:

Test Page



17Note that the 12 channels of this module are divided into 3 groups (ports) of4 channels each. Each port represents one pluggable I/O terminal block (6screws). Port Number 0 refers to I/O channels 0-3, port number 1 refers tochannels 4-7, and port number 3 to channels 8-11. The state of a channel isindicated by the color of the simulated LED’s and the text “ON” or “OFF”.These states also reflect the actual yellow I/O status LED’s of the module.

IMPORTANT: The input state indication only reflects the state of the inputsat the moment this screen is invoked and this does not continuously update.You can click your browser’s refresh button to get a new input update. Theoutput states are updated each time you click the channel’s On/Off button.

You can use the On/Off buttons adjacent to the channel number to turn theoutputs of 982EN and 983EN modules ON or OFF. The output stateindication is updated each time you click On/Off.

A watchdog timeout is triggered at the port if no channel read or write occursfor one or more channels of a port within the time period specified. You canuse the Port watchdog Timer Control to specify Time from 0001H to FFFEHseconds (1 to 65534s). A Time value of 0000H or FFFFH (0 or 65535) willdisable the timer for the port I/O. You can also define the state the outputsare to assume following a timeout via the lower 4 bits of the 16-bit valueentered into the State field for the port. Enter FFFFH into the State field toleave the port outputs unchanged following a timeout. Note that the lowerorder bit (bit 0) corresponds to the lowest channel number for the port, bit 1to the next channel number, and so on. Except for FFFFH, the first threehexadecimal digits of State are ignored (each port has only 4 channels andthe least significant nibble (4-bits) of the State value are all that’s required forcontrol. For example, Enter a state value of “0000” to turn OFF (open) allport outputs (failsafe state) upon watchdog timeout. You would enter “000F”to turn all port outputs ON upon watchdog timeout.

Upon power-up, the green “Run” LED should light. This indicates the unit isoperating normally. A continuous blinking Run LED indicates “wink” IDmode. If the Run LED remains OFF and correct power has been applied,then either the internal power supply has failed or a fatal processor error(firmware) has occurred.

19Please refer Acromag Application Note 8500-734 for help in setting upnetwork communication with your module (located on the CDROM shippedwith your module or via download from our web site at www.acromag.com).This document gives details for changing your PC’s TCP/IP configuration inorder to communicate with your module (see TCP/IP Properties of NetworkConfiguration in Windows).

If you have carefully followed this procedure and you still cannot browse yourmodule, you may have the web browser of your laptop or PC setup to use aproxy server when browsing the web. If you are using Internet Explorer,Refer to the “Tools” pulldown menu, select “Internet options…”, click the“Connections” tab, then click the “LAN Settings” button. Locate the Proxyserver information and uncheck the box next to the statement “Use a proxyserver for your LAN”. Then click [OK] to return to the “Connections” screen,and click [OK] again to save your settings.

You should now be able to use Internet Explorer to browse the module asrequired. However, to later restore your PC’s connection to your companynetwork, you may have to re-enable the use of a proxy server for your LAN.

There is no built-in error detection to prevent you from writing invalid valuesto a configuration register. As such, if you inadvertently write an invalidvalue to an internal register, you could cause the module to becomeinoperable under certain conditions. If this happens, in order to regaincontrol of the module, the module can either be re-downloaded at thefactory, or you can try restoring the module to its initial configuration byfollowing this procedure:

Procedure For Restoring any 9xxEN Module to its Initial Configuration

1. While module power is OFF, press and hold the front-panel toggleswitch in the default (DFT left) position.

2. While continuing to hold the toggle switch in the default position, applypower to the module.

3. After a few seconds, the Status LED will begin to blink quickly and youcan release the default switch at this point. The module will continue toboot itself as it normally does. That is, the green RUN LED will blink for1-10 seconds as the unit acquires its address, then remain ON fornormal operation.

4. If the STATUS LED fails to blink rapidly after a few seconds and theRUN LED just blinks for a few moments as it normally does, thenreinitializing the module has failed and you should try it again. Thistime, make sure that the DFT switch is completely depressed and heldwhile powering the unit. Also make sure that you are pressing the DFTtoggle in the DFT direction (left), rather than the RST direction (right).

HOW IT WORKS



22EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) is traditional Ethernet combinedwith an industrial application layer protocol targeted to industrial automation.This application layer protocol is the Control and Information Protocol(CIP™).

For more information on EtherNet/IP, please refer to our whitepaper“Introduction to EtherNet/IP”, 8500-747. This document is included on theCDROM that came with your module and may also be downloaded from ourweb site at www.acromag.com. You may also obtain a copy of theEtherNet/IP standard from the Open deviceNet Vendor association (ODVA)web site for EtherNet/IP at www.ethernet-ip.org.

All CIP™ devices are modeled as a collection of objects. An objectrepresents a particular component of a device. This collection of relateddata values and common elements of the device make up its object model.We use the term class to refer to a specific type or set of objects (same kindof system components), and instance to refer to one implementation of aclass. The term attribute refers to a characteristic of an instance, an object,or an object class. Attributes provide status information and govern theoperation of an object. Services are used to trigger the object/class toperform a task. And the object’s response is referred to as its behavior.Note that the term object and class are often used interchangeably, eventhough a class is really a specific type of object.

To illustrate, if our object is fruit, we can say that an apple is a class of fruit.A Macintosh apple is an instance of this class, and red skin is one attributeof this particular instance.

In general, there are three types of objects or classes defined by CIP™—required objects, application or device-specific objects, and vendor-specificobjects. Required objects must be included in every CIP™ device. Device-specific objects are the objects that define the data encapsulated by thedevice and are specific to the type of device and its function. Objects notfound in the profile for a device class are vendor-specific objects and thesevendor extensions are usually included as additional features of the device.

With CIP™, a class exists simply to combine data for I/O messaging amongcommon elements and the CIP™ library already contains many commonlydefined objects or classes. The confusion that surrounds this topic usuallyarises from the nesting of objects and classes that occurs in defining otherobjects and classes, and in linking together these various objects to buildlarger device profiles. This device’s object model makes use of the followingobjects (any object ID from 64H to C7H is a vendor-specific object type):

OBJECT (ID) TYPEIdentity (01H) RequiredMessage Router (02H) RequiredAssembly (04H) RequiredConnection Manager (06H) RequiredTCP (F5H) RequiredEthernet Link (F6H) RequiredPCCC Object (67H) Vendor-specificDiscrete Input Data (70H) Vendor-specificDiscrete Output Data (71H) Vendor-specific

32Although this module is designed primarily for EtherNet/IP operation, thismodel also supports one socket for Modbus TCP/IP. Its Modbus operationis identical to that of the 981/982/983EN-4012 models, but restricted to asingle socket. For complete coverage of Modbus TCP/IP, you may refer tothe information contained within User’s Manual 8500-717 for the ModbusTCP/IP version of this module (983EN-4012). The Modbus memory map isrepeated here for your convenience. All program parameters outlined in theModbus memory map are also available in the EtherNet/IP object model.

Modbus registers are organized into reference types identified by the leadingnumber of the reference address:

Reference Description0xxxx Read/Write Discrete Outputs or Coils. A 0x reference

address is used to drive output data to a digital outputchannel.

1xxxx Read Discrete Inputs. The ON/OFF status of a 1xreference address is controlled by the correspondingdigital input channel.

3xxxx Read Input Registers. A 3x reference register contains a16-bit number received from an external source—e.g. ananalog signal.

4xxxx Read/Write Output or Holding Registers. A 4x register isused to store 16-bits of numerical data (binary or decimal),or to send the data from the CPU to an output channel.

Note: The ON/OFF state of discrete inputs and outputs is represented by a1 or 0 value assigned to an individual bit in a 16-bit data word. This issixteen 0x or 1x references per data word. With respect to mapping,the LSB of the word maps to the lowest numbered channel of a groupand channel numbers increase sequentially as you move towards theMSB. Unused bit positions are set to zero.

All I/O values are accessed via the 16-bit Input Registers or 16-bit HoldingRegisters given in the Register Map. Input registers contain information thatis read-only. For example, the current input value read from a channel, orthe states of a group of digital inputs. Holding registers contain read/writeinformation that may be configuration data or output data. For example, thehigh limit value of an alarm function operating at an input, or an output valuefor an output channel.

Each module has a default factory configuration as noted in theSPECIFICATIONS section. Your application will likely differ from the defaultconfiguration and the module will need to be reconfigured. You mayreconfigure this module by issuing the appropriate Modbus functions toRegister Map registers, as required by your application. You may also use astandard web browser to access the built-in web pages of the module toperform basic operations.

Below is a subset of standard Modbus functions that are supported by thismodule along with the reference register address group that the functionoperates on. Use these functions to access these registers as outlined inthe Register Map for sending and retrieving data.

MODBUS TCP/IP

Modbus Registers

The “x” following the leadingcharacter represents a four-digit address location in userdata memory.

The leading character isgenerally implied by thefunction code and omitted fromthe address specifier for agiven function. The leadingcharacter also identifies theI/O data type.

Register Functions



33The following Modbus functions operate on register map registers tomonitor, configure, and control module I/O:

CODE FUNCTION REFERENCE01 (01H) Read Coil (Output) Status 0xxxx02 (02H) Read Input Status 1xxxx03 (03H) Read Holding Registers 4xxxx04 (04H) Read Input Registers 3xxxx05 (05H) Force Single Coil (Output) 0xxxx06 (06H) Preset Single Register 4xxxx15 (0FH) Force Multiple Coils (Outputs) 0xxxx16 (10H) Preset Multiple Registers 4xxxx17 (11H) Report Slave ID (See Below) Hidden

If an unsupported function code is sent to a module, exception code 01(Illegal Function) will be returned in the response. If a holding register iswritten with an invalid value, exception code 03 (Illegal Data Value) will bereturned in the response message. You may refer to the Modbusspecification for a complete list of possible error codes.

For detailed information on Modbus, feel free to download our technicalreference “Introduction To Modbus” at www.acromag.com.

For your convenience, this module mirrors the contents/operation ofregisters 0xxxx, 1xxxx, & 3xxxx (as applicable) into holding register spacefor systems and controllers that cannot directly access registers 0xxxx,1xxxx, & 3xxxx.

All Modbus registers of this model can now be written to, or read from, usingeither the standard methods described in the Modbus specification, orthrough mapping (mirroring) to the Holding Registers. The registers aremapped as follows and specifics follow the mapping:

0xxxx Coil Registers are mapped to 42xxx Holding Registers1xxxx Input Status Registers are mapped to 41xxx Holding Registers3xxxx Input Registers are mapped to 43xxx Holding Registers

Register Functions

Register Mirroring



34For 3xxxx Input Registers, the format of the registers are identical and youonly need to offset your address by 43000. For example: if you want to readInput Register 1 through the Holding Registers, you would use the “ReadHolding Registers” function with an address of 43001.

For the 1xxxx Input Status Registers, the return data is reformatted to matchthe Holding Register format. For example: if you request the Input Status for12 digital inputs, instead of getting 2 bytes returned with the first 12 bitsrepresenting the 12 digital inputs, you will get 12 separate words, each set toeither 0000H (OFF), or FFFFH (ON).

For the 0xxxx Coil Registers, reads are handled in the same way as the1xxxx Input Status Registers. You can also write to the coil registers byusing the “Preset Single Register” function with an address offset of 42000.Setting the data to 0000H will turn the coil OFF, while setting the data toFF00H will turn the coil ON. Writing to multiple coils is not supported viaregister mirroring, you must use the “Write Multple Coils” function for that.

Note that with respect to the Acromag 9xxMB Modbus RTU modules, onlythe 3xxxx Input Registers are mirrored into 4xxxx space, not Coil or InputStatus registers as noted here for 9xxEN models.

I/O values for Series 900EN modules are represented by the followingsimple data types for temperature, percentage, and discrete on/off.

Summary Of Data Types Used By 900MB/900EN ModulesData Types DescriptionCount Value A 16-bit signed integer in range of -32768 to +32767, or

unsigned integer in range of 0 to 65535, representing anA/D or DAC count, time value, or frequency.

Percentage A 16-bit signed integer value in range of -32768 to+32767. ±20000 is used to represent ±100%, yielding aresolution of 0.005%/lsb. For example, -100%, 0% and+100% are represented by decimal values –20000, 0,and 20000, respectively. The full range is –163.84%(-32768 decimal) to +163.835% (+32767 decimal).

Temperature A 16-bit signed integer value with resolution of 0.1°C/lsb.For example, a value of 12059 is equivalent to 1205.9°C,a value of –187 equals –18.7°C. The maximum possibletemperature range is –3276.8°C to +3276.7°C.

Discrete(This Model)

A discrete value is generally indicated by a single bit of a16-bit word. The bit number/position typicallycorresponds to the discrete channel number for thismodel. Unless otherwise defined for outputs, a 1 bitmeans the corresponding output is closed or ON, a 0 bitmeans the output is open or OFF. For active-low inputs,a value of 1 means the input is ON (active-low near 0V),while a value of 0 specifies the input is OFF or in its highstate (usually >> 0V).

Discrete Output Value. Addresses aspecific bit of a 16-bit word thatcontrols/monitors the ON/OFF status forthe output (the gate signal of the n-channel mosfet). 0=OFF; 1=ON.

Note: This signal correspondsto the gate signal of the n-channel output mosfet. Thus, aread of this register may notreflect the actual output level atthe drain of the mosfet if theopen-drain is not pulled up or isleft floating. Excitation must beprovided in order to operate theoutputs. On 983EN units, youcan read the Contact Registersto obtain the actual outputstate(s) via closed loopfeedback.

The bit position also corresponds to theoutput channel number (i.e. output 0uses bit 0 of the 16-bit word at address0, output 1 uses bit 1 of the 16-bit wordat address 1, etc.) Unused bits are setto 0. A set bit (1) means the output isturned ON (sinking current). A clear bit(0) means output is turned OFF (open).Bits 15-12: Not Used. Additionally,unused bits in range 11-0 are set to 0.After reset, these registers read 0(outputs OFF) and these registers arenot maintained in EEPROM.

38These DIN-rail mount, industrial ethernet, digital I/O modules include twelvedigital inputs (981EN), twelve digital outputs (982EN), or twelve combinationdigital input/output channels (983EN), and provide an isolated 10/100BaseTEthernet port for monitoring and control. Units are DC-powered and includereverse polarity protection. Outputs are open-drain, low-side switches, whileinputs are active-low. Channel I/O, network, and power circuits are isolated.Outputs have high voltage/current capacity for discrete on/off control ofexternal devices. Non-inverting, buffered inputs provide support for digitallevel sensing, or for simply reading back the tandem output (983EN only).I/O channels share common. Pull-up resistors to the port EXC supply (everyfour channels) are installed in sockets on the board. Non-volatilereprogrammable memory in the module stores configuration information.

The BusWorks model prefix “900” denotes the Series 900 network I/Ofamily. The “EN” suffix denotes EtherNet. Select 981EN for digital inputs,982EN for digital outputs, or 983EN for tandem digital inputs and outputs.The four digit suffix of this model number represents the following options,respectively: “6” = EtherNet/IP; “0” = Default; “12” = 12 Channels.

Twelve active-low, buffered inputs, with a common connection (RTN). ForDC voltage applications only. Inputs include transient suppression and haveseries connected 100KΩ resistors, plus diode over-voltage clamps to theinternal +5V supply. Sockets are provided at each port (group of fourchannels) for installation of SIP resistor networks that serve as pullups to theport EXC supply terminal. 5.6K pull-up resistor SIP’s are installed from thefactory. External excitation (pull-up supply) is required for proper operationand is connected between the port EXC and RTN terminals.

Input Signal Voltage Range: 0 to +35VDC.Input Current: 293uA, typical at 35VDC. This is computed as the applied

input voltage minus 5.7V, divided by the series 100KΩ input resistance.Input Signal Threshold: TTL compatible with 100mV of hysteresis, typical.

Low-to-High threshold is 1.7VDC typical, High-to-Low threshold is1.6VDC, typical. Limit logic transition to TTL levels of 0.8VDC (MaxLOW level) and 2.0VDC (Min HIGH level).

Input Resistance: 100KΩ, typical.Input Hysteresis: 100mVDC typical.Input Response Time: 800ns typical, measured from input step to logic

transfer. Actual input response will vary with interrupts.

Twelve open-drain, DMOS mosfet switches with a common sourceconnection at the port RTN terminal. For DC voltage and current-sinkingapplications only. Outputs have built-in transient protection. Sockets areprovided at each port (four channels) for quick replacement and installationof SIP resistor networks that serve as pullups to the port EXC supplyterminal. 5.6K pull-up resistor SIP’s are installed from the factory.

Output “OFF” Voltage Range: 0 to 35V DC. Limit voltage to 35V or lessor damage to the unit may result.

Output “OFF” Leakage Current: : 0.1uA typical, 50uA maximum (mosfetonly, 25°C, 35V). Does not include the tandem input bias current of983EN models (see below).

39Note (983EN): The 100KΩ series input buffer resistors in combinationwith the +5V voltage clamps at the input buffers will tend to increase theoff-state drain current with increased drain voltage (up to 0.3mA at35V). This is due to the fact that the input buffer circuitry and outputmosfet drain circuitry are connected in tandem to the same I/O pin forthe Model 983EN.

Output “ON” Current Range: 0 to 500mA DC, continuous (up to 6A totalfor all 12 channels combined). No deration required at elevatedambients. Group one RTN per each group of 4 outputs.

Output Rds ON Resistance: 0.13Ω typical, 0.28Ω Maximum.Output Response Time: 220us typical measured from output trigger at the

controller to corresponding input transition at the controller. Actualswitch time will vary with output load and interrupts.Note: Per UL, when the outputs are used to control interposing relaysfor switching AC and DC devices of higher voltage/current, the coilratings for the interposing relay shall not exceed 24VDC, 100mA.

I/O Pullups & Socket: I/O channels include sockets for installation of SIPresistor networks to act as pull-ups for the channel (see I/O PullupResistor Installation drawing of page 4). These resistors are located onthe plug-in I/O board (cover removal required). A SIP socket isincluded for each group of four channels (port) and a 5.6KΩ resistorSIP is installed from the factory. The even-numbered pins of thesesockets (common leads) connect to the port EXC+ terminal. Anexternal excitation supply is typically connected between the EXC+ andRTN terminals of the port. The recommended SIP resistor is a fourisolated resistor type (8 pins) and may be obtained from Acromag oranother vendor. These SIP resistors typically come rated for 0.2W,0.3W, 0.4W, or 0.5W per element. For example, refer to Bourns4308R-102, 4308M-102, or 4308H-102 parts. You may also refer toDale CSC08C03, MSP08C03, or MSM08C-03 parts. The 5.6KΩ SIPprovided is a high-power type from Bourns (part number 4308H-102-562) and is rated at 0.5W per resistor up to 70°C. See I/O PullupResistor Installation section for more information.IMPORTANT: When selecting a SIP resistor, be sure to limit theindividual resistor power dissipation to less than the rated power perelement. Further, do not exceed 500mA of drain current per output, or2A total per RTN terminal.

Excitation (External): External voltage is applied between the port EXCand RTN terminals and must be limited to 35V or less. The EXCterminal is tied to the even-numbered pins of the resistor SIP socketprovided for each port or group of 4 channels.

Ethernet Interface



42Communication Distance: The distance between two devices on an

Ethernet network is generally limited to 100 meters using recommendedcopper cable. Distances may be extended using hubs, switches, orfiber optic transmission. However, the total round trip delay time mustnot exceed 512 bit times for collision detection to work properly.

Port Status Indicators: Green LED indicates link status (ON if auto-negotiation has successfully established a connection), yellow LEDindicates activity (ethernet connection is busy/traffic is present).

Address: The module IP address can be preset by the user (static) andloaded from internal non-volatile memory, or it can be automaticallyacquired at startup via a network server using a BOOTP (BootstrapProtocol), or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). The unitalso includes a default mode toggle switch to cause the module toassume a “known” fixed static IP address of 128.1.1.100 fortroubleshooting purposes. The module may also use DHCP with afallback to the static IP address, or the last DHCP assigned address.

LED Indicators:RUN (Green) - Constant ON if power is on and unit is OK. Continuous

flashing ON/OFF indicates unit is in “wink” ID mode.ST (Yellow) – Slowly blinks ON/OFF in default mode, blinks rapidly if a

watchdog timeout has occurred.LINK (Green) – Indicates Ethernet link status (ON if auto-negotiation has

successfully established a connection).ACT (Yellow) – Indicates Ethernet activity (Ethernet connection is

busy/traffic is present).Output (Yellow, One Per Output) – ON if output relay is ON (closed) or

input is asserted low. Note: This LED is driven by the input buffer of981/983EN units and will reflect the actual input state. On 982ENunits (output only), this LED is driven by the output mosfet gate signaland may not reflect the actual open-drain output state (for example, ifthe outputs are floating or not pulled up).

Controls:Reset/Default Address Switch: This momentary toggle switch is

located on the front panel and is used to either reset the module(toggle right), or toggle the module into, or out of DefaultCommunication Mode (toggle left). In Default Mode, the moduleassumes the fixed static IP address “128.1.1.100”, a default subnetmask “255.255.255.0”, a default username of “User”, and a defaultpassword of “password00”. This switch can also be used to restorethe module to its initial factory configuration by holding this switch inits default position while powering up the unit (see “Getting Out OfTrouble” in the Troubleshooting section for more information).

Controls & Indicators



43The minimum cable required for full operation of this device is Category 5.The term “Category” refers to classifications of UTP (Unshielded TwistedPair) cables. There are 3 main categories of cable – Category 3, Category4, and Category 5. The differences in classification is found in their electricalperformance and this is documented in the TIA/EIA 568A standard.Category 5 cable includes four twisted wire pairs at eight twists per foot.

This device is designed for use in harsh industrial environments. Acromagrecommends the use of shielded cable when wiring to this device. SelectSTP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable rather than UTP (Unshielded TwistedPair). The use of shielded cable will help protect the data being transmittedfrom harmful EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio FrequencyInterference). It will also help to lower your radiated emissions by keepingthe cable from emitting EMI and RFI.

There are two types of cable: solid cable and stranded cable. Strandedcables are more flexible than solid cables. But since attenuation is higher forstranded cables than solid conductor cables, these are generally reservedfor short runs and patch applications less than 6 meters.

Currently there are two types of shielding employed in Category 5 STPcable: single-shielded cable and double-shielded cable. Both of thesecables have the same core and jacket as UTP cables, but also include a thinfoil outer shield that covers all four twisted-wire pairs. Some variations willalso include a drain wire that encircles the outer foil. The double-shieldedversion adds an outer wire screen that wraps around the foil shield and alsofunctions as a drain wire. The drain wire or wire screen typically makescontact at each end of the cable with the metal shield around special RJ45plug connectors. The metal shield of these connectors then makes contactwith the metal shield of shielded RJ45 sockets. The socket shield maymake direct contact with earth ground, or it may be capacitively coupled toearth ground. In the Acromag 9xxEN modules, this shield contacts earthground via a high voltage capacitor and transient voltage suppressor. Inaddition to minimizing radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, thisarrangement also has the added benefit of enhanced protection from ESD(Electro-Static Discharge).

Further, Acromag recommends the use of enhanced Category 5 cable(CAT-5e). This cable has all the characteristics of Category 5, but includesenhancements that help to minimize crosstalk. It is rated for frequencies upto 200MHz, double the rate of Category 5. Category 5e cable also has agreater number of turns-per-inch in its twisted pairs, making its performancemore suitable for applications that make use of all four wire pairs forsimultaneous bidirectional data transmission (full-duplex). This cable isdefined in TIA/EIA-568A-5 (Addendum 5).

ACCESSORYCABLES



44Acromag offers the following cable accessories for use with this module:

Cable Model 5035-355 – A yellow, 3 foot long, single-shielded Category 5eSTP patch cable with drain wire and an RJ45 plug at both ends. Use thiscable to connect an Acromag 9xxEN I/O module to the Acromag 900EN-S005 switch.Cable Model 5035-360 – A green, 5 foot long, single-shielded Category 5eSTP crossover cable with a drain wire and an RJ45 plug at both ends. Thiscable performs the Ethernet crossover function and is used to connect a PCdirectly to an Acromag Series 9xxEN I/O module.

Note that you do not need to use a crossover cable to connect your PC tothis module if the Acromag 900EN-S005 switch is used between the PC andmodule, as the switch is auto-crossing. However, you must use a crossovercable when directly connecting your PC to a Series 9xxEN I/O Modulewithout the use of an auto-crossing switch or hub.

You may obtain cable in other lengths and colors as required for yourapplication from other vendors. For example, shielded CAT-5e cable isavailable from the following vendors:
