Functional Description

IC200EBI001 is an Ethernet Network Interface Unit developed by GE. It is a high-performance Ethernet Network Interface Unit (ENIU) designed by GE for the VersaMax series. It operates as an Ethernet slave module and serves as a controller for a range of I/O modules. This module is also an Ethernet Global Data (EGD) station, facilitating seamless data exchange and diagnostics within an Ethernet network. Known for its efficiency and flexibility, it is widely used in industrial automation systems.

LED Indicators

  • PWR LED: Shows the presence of input power.
  • OK LED: Reflects the operational health of the ENIU.
  • FAULTS LED: Indicates system or module faults.
  • LAN LED: Displays the health of the Ethernet network.
  • STAT LED: Solid green indicates an active Modbus connection, while a flashing amber shows an invalid IP address.

These LEDs provide immediate visual feedback for efficient troubleshooting.

Installation and Setup

Installing the unit on a DIN rail is a simple process that involves clicking the unit into place. The power supply must be correctly aligned and securely latched for stable operation. Configuration can be managed in two ways:

  • Auto-Configuration: Upon the initial power-up, the ENIU automatically configures connected I/O modules until it encounters an empty or faulted slot.
  • Software Configuration: Users can set up the module using tools like VersaPro 2.0 or Remote I/O Manager 2.0.
  • If auto-configuration fails, existing settings must be cleared by disconnecting the power and separating the ENIU from the first I/O carrier.

Memory and Protocols

The module supports various memory allocations, ensuring sufficient capacity for data management:

  • Discrete Input/Output Data: 256 bytes each.
  • Analog Input/Output Data: 256 bytes each.
  • Fault Data: 128 bytes maximum.
  • Supports Modbus/TCP and Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocols, with up to 10 Modbus TCP connections in Modbus mode. This ensures compatibility and efficient data exchange in diverse industrial setups.

I/O Module Capacity and Scalability

  • Release 1.0: Up to 8 I/O modules without expansion racks.
  • Release 1.1 and Later: Up to 64 I/O modules with 7 expansion racks.
  • This scalability makes it suitable for both small and large industrial systems.

Features

  • Features an RJ-45 Ethernet port for network connections, supporting data rates of 10Base-T or 100Base-TX with auto-negotiation. The IP address can be configured using three rotary switches located beneath a transparent protective door, providing flexibility in network integration.
  • The module is compact and can be installed on a 35 x 7.5 mm conductive DIN rail or mounted on a panel. It includes connectors for expansion, power supply, and carriers. It has a power consumption rating of +5V at 175mA and +3.3V at 425mA, ensuring efficient energy usage.

�Installation

  • Install the NIU on the DIN Rail: To begin, install the NIU by positioning it over the 35mm x 7.5mm conductive DIN rail. Ensure the DIN rail has an unpainted, conductive finish to provide proper grounding for the NIU. Click the NIU securely into place on the rail. If you�re installing this in an area with high vibration, follow the Module Installation guidelines to maintain appropriate spacing and orientation. Additionally, make sure all connecting carriers are on the same DIN rail section to allow for consistent connectivity across modules.
  • Attach the Power Supply to the NIU:�To add the power supply, first, ensure the latch is in the unlocked position. Align the connectors with the NIU, and press the module down until the two tabs on the bottom of the power supply click securely into place. Lock the latch to keep the power supply firmly attached. Once mounted, complete the power supply wiring according to the specific instructions provided for the power supply module to ensure proper functionality.
  • Configure the IP Address:��Use a 2.44mm (3/32in) flat screwdriver to set the IP address by adjusting the rotary switches on the NIU�s front panel. The switches control the last field of the IP address, with A.B.C. fixed to 195.0.0 by default. Select any valid number between 1�254 for the last field and be sure to cycle the power after setting the switches to finalize the IP address.
  • Set a Temporary IP Address Using Telnet (Alternate Method): As an alternative to setting the IP manually, you can temporarily configure it via Telnet. Connect the ENIU to a computer via Ethernet. Then, open the DOS command prompt and use the arp command to specify the IP and MAC addresses, followed by the telnet command to establish a connection. Note that this address will reset upon a power cycle, so use this method only when temporary connectivity is needed. To make the IP permanent, store it using programmer software.
  • Connect the Communications Bus:��Attach the communications bus to the connector located on the ENIU�s front panel. This bus is essential for data flow between connected devices. For more detailed instructions, consult the Bus Installation Guidelines to ensure proper setup and function.
  • Prepare Connector Covers: On the ENIU�s right side, carefully remove the connector cover and set it aside, as you�ll need it later for the last carrier. Avoid removing the cover on the left side to protect the pins from potential damage or electrostatic discharge during handling and installation.
  • Install Additional Modules: Mount each additional module onto its carrier, then slide each module leftward along the DIN rail until it connects with the adjacent module or ENIU. Repeat these steps as you add more modules. Finally, install the previously retained connector cover on the last carrier to ensure all connectors are safely covered.
  • Perform Configuration: Upon first power-up, the ENIU will automatically detect and configure modules in the I/O station. Autoconfiguration will proceed through each slot until it encounters an empty or faulted slot. If a reset is necessary, power down the ENIU, disconnect it from the first I/O carrier, and power it back up to retry autoconfiguration.
  • Power Up the NIU: Once everything is set up, turn on the NIU, ensuring that any additional power supplies in the I/O station are also powered up simultaneously. This step is critical for a smooth and accurate autoconfiguration of each module in each rack. Autoconfiguration will halt if it encounters any faults or empty slots, then resume on the next rack.
  • LEDs: Check the module LEDs to confirm the system�s operational status. The PWR LED should display solid green, indicating power is applied, while the OK LED should also be green, signaling that firmware is operational. The FAULTS LED shows amber if a fault is detected, blinking if a serious fault occurs. The LAN LED indicates network activity, and the STAT LED color will vary based on mode�solid green for active connections or blinking amber if there�s an IP issue.
