Using the WAGO 750-841 as Remote I/O with a ControlLogix Ethernet/IP Bridge Module

OVERVIEW
The purpose of this document is to provide a step-by-step example of interfacing the WAGO 750-841 Ethernet Programmable Fieldbus Controller (PFC) with an Allen Bradley 1756-ENBT ControlLogix Ethernet Bridge using Ethernet/IP protocol. In this example, the 1756-ENBT module functions as an Ethernet/IP scanner and uses Control and Information Protocol (CIP) to manage the inputs and outputs (I/O) of the WAGO node (also known as implicit messaging).

HARDWARE SETUP
This procedure has been tested with, but is not limited to, the following hardware and software: Allen Bradleys 1756-A4 Chassis and 1756-PA72/B Power Supply Allen Bradleys 1756-L55A Logix5555 Controller Allen Bradleys 1756-ENBT ControlLogix Ethernet/IP Bridge Allen Bradleys RSLogix5000 Programming Software Allen Bradleys RSLinx Lite Communications Software, Version 2.41 Allen Bradleys Bootp/DHCP Software, Version 2.3 WAGO Ethernet Node 750-841 Ethernet Programmable Fieldbus Controller 750-402 4-point 24VDC Digital Input Module 750-504 4-point 24VDC Digital Output Module 750-467 2-point 0-10VDC Analog Input Module 750-550 2-point 0-10VDC Analog Output Module 750-600 End Module

NOTE: This procedure assumes that the WAGO 750-841 contains a valid IP address and it is installed on a working network, along with the Allen Bradley 1756-ENBT and the RSLogix5000 programming terminal. If necessary, refer to WAGOs Application Note A202900 for assigning a static IP address to the WAGO 750-841.

The figure below illustrates the hardware of the WAGO node in this example. The process image table (I/O map) is displayed in byte format below the figure. In order to properly configure the 1756-ENBT Ethernet Bridge, the process image must be determined. When the controller is powered up, it automatically addresses the I/O modules of the node. The data for complex modules (modules occupying 1 or more bytes) is mapped first in the process image. They are mapped in the order of their physical position after the controller. As such, they start with byte address 0. Following this, the digital modules are grouped into bytes (8-bits per byte). The bits are arranged in the order of the modules location. When the number of digital points exceeds 8 (8-bits), the controller automatically starts the next byte.

Input Process Image Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 - 750-467 Channel 1 Analog Input, Low Byte - 750-467 Channel 1 Analog Input, High Byte - 750-467 Channel 2 Analog Input, Low Byte - 750-467 Channel 2 Analog Input, High Byte - 750-402 4-Channel 24VDC Digital Input (bits 1 through 4)

Output Process Image Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 - 750-550 Channel 1 Analog Output, Low Byte - 750-550 Channel 1 Analog Output, High Byte - 750-550 Channel 2 Analog Output, Low Byte - 750-550 Channel 2 Analog Output, High Byte - 750-504 4-Channel 24VDC Digital Output (bits 1 through 4)

Note: This example has 5-bytes of data in both the Input and Output Process Image.

There are two main steps in setting up this system: 1) Configuring WAGOs 750-841 I/O modules for Ethernet/IP 2) Configuring Allen Bradleys 1756-ENBT as an Ethernet/IP Scanner

CONFIGURING WAGOS 750-841 I/O MODULES FOR ETHERNET/IP

There are two ways to configure the I/O of the WAGO node for Ethernet/IP: 1) edit the I/O configuration file (EA-config.XML) that is located on the PFCs built-in file server; 2) configure the I/O in WAGO-I/OPRO-CAA programming software and download. This document covers the first method. The second method is described in section 3.1.7 of the WAGO 750-841 manual. To edit the I/O configuration file EA-config.XML, an FTP utility program is required to access the file. This example uses a program called LeechFTP, which is a shareware program that can be found on the Internet. Different FTP utilities may also be used, but the steps will vary slightly from this procedure.

Editing EA-config.XML with LeechFTP 1) Launch LeechFTP. The LeechFTP main window in displayed. 2) Connect to the WAGO 750-841 PFC using the File...Connect menu item.

The LeechFTP Connect to dialog window is display:

3) Enter the following parameters: Host or URL: Username: Password 10.5.140.50 admin wago (IP address of the WAGO 750-841 in this example). (displayed as **** in the dialog window)

4) Click the Connection Settings tab.

5) Uncheck Use proxy server for the connection and click OK.

The following screen is displayed. The center window shows a directory on your local hard drive. The right window shows the root directory of the 750-841 PFC file system. Note that the PFC file system has three sub-folders (i.e., webserv, PLC, and etc).

6) Double click on the etc folder, in the right window.

The contents of the etc folder is displayed.

7) Right click on the file EA-config.xml and select the Download Selected menu item.

The file will be copied to your hard drive. It will appear in the center window.

8) Right click on the EA-config.xml in the center window, and select the Edit in Notepad menu item.

Notepad will open the file EA-config.xml.

9) Edit the file so it looks like the file above.

NOTE: Each I/O module in the node that has process data must have a <Module ... configuration line. In this example, lines 4 through 7 map all four I/O modules to FB2. FB2 means Fieldbus 2, which is Ethernet IP. Other options include: PLC the PFC controls the I/O module locally with an IEC61131 program; or FB1 - a Modbus TCP Fieldbus Master controls the I/O module. Each module is mapped to one device, but the node may have modules mapped from multiple devices.

10) Save the file and close Notepad. Select the program menu item FileSave, then FileExit.

The LeechFTP window will regain focus.

11) Right click on the EA-config.xml file in the center window, and select the Upload Files menu item.

12) Exit LeechFTP. Select the program menu item FileExit

At this point, the four I/O modules in the WAGO node are configured for the Ethernet/IP fieldbus. In the next section, the 1756-ENBT will be configured as the Ethernet/IP Scanner.

CONFIGURING ALLEN BRADLEYS 1756-ENBT AS A ETHERNET/IP SCANNER

This section assumes that you have an overall understanding of Allen Bradleys hardware and software. It focuses only on configuring the Logix5555 controller with RSLogix5000, so the WAGO PFC is accessible as a remote I/O node via Ethernet/IP.

1) Start RSLogix5000. The RSLogix5000 main window is displayed.

5) Before adding the WAGO I/O to the Logix5555 I/O configuration, you must first add the local 1756ENBT module. To do this, open the I/O Configuration folder in the project window. Right click on I/O Configuration and select the New Module menu item.

The Select Module Type dialog window is displayed.

6) Select 1756-ENBT/A from the list and click OK.

12) The program/configuration can now be downloaded to the Logix5555 controller. Select the CommunicationsDownload program menu item.

After downloading, if everything was setup correctly, the I/O OK indicator should be green. Additionally, when the cursor is placed on the ETHERNET-MODULE WAGO_IO, the Module Fault box at the bottom of the figure below should be blank, indicating no error.

If an error does occur, the screen will look similar to the one below. This error is indicating an improper connection size was entered for either the input or output parameters.

13) To view the process data from the WAGO 750-841, click on the Controller Tags tree item.

The Controller Tags dialog window opens. In this example only data from the WAGO 750-841 is displayed. In a real world application, more data would be included in the project.

14) Click the + button to expand the Controller Tags view.

After completing these steps, the configuration of the WAGO 750-841 PFC and the1756-ENBT Ethernet/IP Scanner are complete. The WAGO input and output data is now accessible to the Logix5555 controller as defined in the tables below:

Input Data RSLogix Variable WAGO_IO:I.Data[0] WAGO_IO:I.Data[1] WAGO_IO:I.Data[2] WAGO_IO:I.Data[3] WAGO_IO:I.Data[4].0 WAGO_IO:I.Data[4].1 WAGO_IO:I.Data[4].2 WAGO_IO:I.Data[4].3 WAGO_IO:I.Data[5] WAGO Module/Parameter 750-467 Channel 1 Analog Input, Low Byte 750-467 Channel 1 Analog Input, High Byte 750-467 Channel 2 Analog Input, Low Byte 750-467 Channel 2 Analog Input, High Byte 750-402 4-Channel 24VDC Digital Input 1 750-402 4-Channel 24VDC Digital Input 2 750-402 4-Channel 24VDC Digital Input 3 750-402 4-Channel 24VDC Digital Input 4 Status Byte

Configuration Data The configuration data (e.g., WAGO_IO:C.Data[0]) is automatically assigned by RSLogix when a Generic Ethernet/IP module is added as I/O. Since the WAGO 750-841 does not use this data, it should be ignored.
