1.1. Congure the IP address of the gateway and the PC
1.1.1. The factory defaut IP address of the CMF500 s:192.168.250.250.
Page 5 7/28/2014
1.1.2. Check the programmng PCs network nterface card IP address and
subnet mask (Fgure 1). Change the IP address of the NIC to "xed
address" and enter 192.168.250.10 for the address of the PC. Change
the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Ths w put the PC on the same
oca network as the CMF500 (see Fgure 2). Leave the defaut gateway
settng bank. Cck OK.
1.1.3. Once the NIC IP address settngs are saved, open up a termna

When the homepage of the gateway comes back up (f t doesnt come back up
after about 20 seconds, then |ust enter the IP address of the devce back nto the

settngs by gong to the "Serial Deice Confguration" page and scrong down.
Ths s |ust to make sure that the ntended settngs were a saved to the
gateway propery. No other settngs need to be changed uness t s desred to
connect to the scanner va an EtherNet TCP/IP connection (for conguraton and
programmng of the barcode scanner wth a PC usng the CLV setup software
congured for TCP/IP communcatons).

2.1. Connect the 15 pn connector on the end of the scanner cabe to the
15 pn scanner port on the CDM420.
2.2. To congure the scanner through a sera communcatons
connecton, connect to the CLV430 scanner from the sera port of the PC
through the 9-pn D-sub Aux port provded on the CDM420 wth the sera
programmng cabe (p/n 7021851 straght-thru sera cabe). NOTE: must

2.9. For new scanners comng out of the box no changes need to be
made to the factory defaut settngs. NOTE: the defaut settng for
trggerng the scanner assumes that a photoeye wth a pnp output s
connected to pns 37,38,39 of the CDM420. If no photoeye s connected,
then go to the "Reading #rigger Para&eters" screen and seect "Serial

pushed. Turnng the aser oh by pushng <F8> ends the readng gate and
the data read by the scanner s sent out the host port of the scanner

For ths secton, you w need the RSLogx 5000 pro|ect e -
EtherNetIP_RxData.ACD. Ths e shoud be downoaded from the
SICKusa.com Web ste.
3.1. Cose a software that s runnng except for RSLogx 5000.
3.2. Create a new RSLogx 5000 pro|ect for the specc processor and
backpane that you are usng (from the Compact Logx or Contro Logx
famy of controers).
3.3. Congure the PLCs EtherNet /IP modue (e.g. 1756-ENBT) wth the IP
address assgned n step1.2.7.
3.4. Congure the PLC hardware to correspond to your physca setup n
the I/O conguraton of the new RSLogx 5000 pro|ect. Doube check for
agreement wth settngs speced n step 1.2.7.
3.5. Whe keepng the new RSLogx pro|ect you created open (dont
forget to save your work), aunch another nstance of RSLogx 5000 and
open the e EtherNetIP_RxData.ACD that you downoaded from the
SICK Web ste.
3.6. Dr nto the Controer Tag Database (Edt Tab). Cut and paste a of

testng purposes. So, ets move on and check to make sure that
everythng s workng propery. Downoad ths "skeeton" pro|ect nto the
PLC.
3.9. Once the pro|ect s downoaded to the controer put the controer
nto Run mode and be sure that the barcode scanner, CMF500, PLC, and
PC are a powered up and communcatng on the network. Png each of
the devces (CMF500 and the PLC) from the PC through the EtherNet hub
to be sure your network s congured, wred, and communcatng.
3.10. Next, trgger the scanner and check and see f data popuated the

conrm that new data has arrved. Bytes 2 and 3 specfy the data ength

Sometmes t s desrabe to congure/contro the scanner from the PLC. In order
to do ths, you must send contro and conguraton command strngs to the
scanner usng a MSG nstructon n the PLC. Ths coud be usefu, for exampe, to
congure the scanner to ook for a specc barcode or matchcode. For
demonstraton purposes we w deveop a sma PLC program that w send two
commands to the scanner Turn ON (code = "22" ASCII) and Turn OFF (code =
"23" ASCII). The process of sendng command strngs (strngs of structured
apha-numerc characters) to the scanner s smar for a command strngs. The
same MSG nstructon s used, but the content of the command strng changes
as necessary to execute dherent functons. A stng of the CLV command strngs
and ther data structure s avaabe on the Web.
4.1. Create another new RSLogx pro|ect, for your hardware patform. Gve t
a name. For the purposes of ths document we w use the name
"EtherNetIP_TxRxDataCopy." Keep ths pro|ect open. You w cut-and-
paste nto ths pro|ect from the e EtherNetIP_TxRxData.ACD.
4.2. Open up the RSLogx e EtherNetIP_TxRxData.ACD downoaded
from the SICKUSA Web ste. Dr nto the pro|ect tree and copy the User

nto the User Dened Data Type secton of the pro|ect tree for the newy
created pro|ect.
4.3. Go back to the pro|ect EtherNetIP_TxRxData.ACD. Dr nto the
Controer Tags database. Cck on the Edt Tags tab and seect a the tags.
Copy-and-paste a these tags nto the new pro|ect that you created -
