4.4.2 Communication Stop during Firmware Update or Configuration


Download
If you want to perform either a firmware update (as a download) or a
configuration download, both via the corresponding Master DTM in
SYCON.net, be aware of the following:
• Together with the firmware download, an automated reset to the device
is performed that will interrupt all network communication and all
established connections will drop.
• If you download the configuration during bus operation, the
communication between master and slaves is stopped.

Possible faulty System Operation


• An unpredictable and unexpected behavior of machines and plant
components may cause personal injury and property damage.
 Stop the application program, before starting the firmware update or
before downloading the configuration.
 Make sure that your equipment operates under conditions that prevent
personal injury or property damage. All network devices should be
placed in a fail-safe mode, before starting the firmware update or before
downloading a configuration.

Loss of Device Parameters, Overwriting of Firmware


• Both the firmware download and the configuration download erase the
configuration data base. The firmware download overwrites the existing
firmware in the network device.
 To complete the firmware update and to make the device operable
again, re-load the configuration after the firmware update has been
finished.
For devices with Ethernet technology
• Device parameters that have been saved volatile, e. g. as the
temporarily set IP address parameters, are getting lost during the reset.
 In order to prevent loss of configuration data, make sure that your
project configuration data are saved non-volatile, before you initiate a
firmware update or download the configuration.

4.4.3 Mismatching System Configuration


Mismatching system configuration loaded into the device could result in
faulty data mapping in the application program and thus unexpected
equipment operation may cause personal injury or damage of equipment.
 In the device use only a configuration suitable for the system.

4.5.4 Power Disconnect while downloading Firmware or


Configuration
If during the process of downloading a firmware or configuration
• the power supply to a PC with the software application is interrupted,
• or the power supply to the PC card cifX is interrupted,
• or a reset to the PC card cifX is performed,
this may lead to the following consequences:

Loss of Device Parameters, Firmware Corruption


• The firmware download or the configuration download will be interrupted
and remains incomplete.
• The firmware or the configuration database will be corrupted and device
parameters will be lost.
• Device damage may occur as the PC card cifX cannot be rebooted.
Whether these consequences occur depends on when the power
disconnect occurs during the download.
 During configuration download process, do not interrupt the power
supply to the PC, or to the PC card cifX and do not perform a reset!
Otherwise you might be forced to return your PC card cifX for repair.

Power Drop during Write and Delete Accesses in the File System
The FAT file system in the netX firmware is subject to certain limitations in
its operation. Write and delete accesses in the file system (firmware
update, configuration download etc.) can destroy the FAT (File Allocation
Table) if the accesses cannot be completed if the power drops. Without a
proper FAT, a firmware may not be found and cannot be started.
Make sure that the power supply to the device is not interrupted during
write and delete accesses in the file system (firmware update, configuration
download, etc.).

4.5.5 Exceeding the maximum Number of allowed Write/Delete


Accesses
This device uses a serial Flash chip for storing remanent data, such as
firmware, configuration, etc. This chip allows a maximum of 100 000
write/delete accesses which is sufficient for a standard device operation.
Writing/deleting the chip excessively (e.g. in order to change configuration
or name of station) will exceed the maximum number of allowed
write/delete accesses and, thus, result in damage to the device. If, e.g., the
configuration is changed every hour, the maximum number will be reached
after 11.5 years. If, e.g., it is changed every minute, the maximum number
will already be reached after approx. 69 days.
Avoid exceeding the maximum number of allowed write/delete accesses by
excessive writing.

parameters are: Vendor ID, Product Code, Serial Number, Revision Number, Output and Input
Data Bytes.
If the XML file Hilscher CIFX RE ECS V2.2.X.xml is use/updated, the firmware with the version
2.2.x must be use/updated.
The loadable firmware supports for the number of cyclic input data and for cyclic output data in
total up to 400 bytes. If more than 200 bytes for input data or for output data should be
exchanged via EtharCAT, then a customer specific XML file is necessary. Additionally the
following formular applies: (number of input bytes + 3)/4 + (number of output bytes + 3)/4 must
be less or equal to 100.
EtherNet/IP To configure the Scanner/Master, an EDS file (device description file) is required. The settings
Adapter in the used Scanner/Master must comply with the settings in the Adapter/Slave to establish
communication. Important parameters are: Input, Output Data Bytes, Vendor ID, Product Type,

6.7 Instructions for Problem Solving


In case of any error, follow the instructions for problem solving given here:

General
 Check the PC card cifX operating requirements according to the
requirements given in the section Requirements for Operation on page
51.

SYS and COM Status LEDs


Troubleshooting of the system is done by examining the LEDs behaviour.
The PC cards cifX have depending by card type two or three bicolor status
LEDs, which inform the user about the communication state of the device.
• The SYS LED shows the common system status of the device. It can be
yellow or green ON or it can blink green/yellow.
• The COM LEDs display the status of the Real-Time Ethernet or fieldbus
communication. Depending by protocol and state, the LEDs can be ON
or flash cyclic or acyclic in green or red (or orange).
If the LED SYS lights statically green and the LED COM (or COM0) lights
statically green (or possibly is “off”), the PC card cifX is in operational state,
the Master is in data exchange with the connected Slaves and the
communication is running without fault. The meaning of the LEDs is
described in chapter Diagnosis with LEDs beginning from page 70.

LINK-LED (for PC cards cifX Real-Time Ethernet)


 Check using the LINK LED’s status whether a connection to the
Ethernet is established. Therefore use the description on the LINK LED
in the chapter Diagnosis with LEDs beginning from page 70.

Cable
 Check that the pin assignment of the cable is correct. This means, the
cable by which you connect the PC card cifX to the PC card Master or
Slave.

Configuration
 Check the configuration in the Master device and the Slave device. The
configuration has to match.

Diagnosis
Via Online > Diagnosis (for SYCON.net) or netX Configuration Tool >
Diagnostics (for netX Configuration Tool) the diagnostic information of the
device is shown. The shown diagnostic information depends on the used
protocol.
Further information about the device diagnosis and its functions you find
in the operating instruction manual of the corresponding Real-Time
Ethernet or fieldbus system.

Important: Avoid dual-port memory access errors


It is mandatory that the host CPU always uses the IOCHNRDY (pin A10)
signal, otherwise these results in wrong data read from the dual-port
memory or dual-port memory write accesses are being ignored.
- The maximum value for accesses can not be specified.
- For maximum performance, the IOCHNRDY signal must always be
evaluated by the host CPU.
- If you use a host CPU that can not use the IOCHNRDY (A10) signal,
then contact our technical support.

10.1 Tolerances of the shown Card Dimensions


The manufacturing tolerance of the printed circuit boards of the PC card
cifX is ± 0.1 mm per milled PCB edge. For all dimensions of the PCB
indicated on the drawings (in the section Dimensioning PC Cards cifX PC-
104 from page 165) thus results for the length L and the width W, a
tolerance of ± 0.1 mm (per milled edge) x 2 = ± 0.2 mm.
W = [width of the board in mm] ± 0.2 mm
L = [length of the board in mm] ± 0.2 mm
The depth T of the PCB depends on the highest part used or the circuit
board plus the descenders. The thickness of the PCB is = 1.6 mm ± 10%.

Note: The dimensions (L x W x H) specified in section Technical Data PC


Cards cifX on page 122 (and also the identical values in the data sheet
cifX and on the ‘Hilscher Site’) are rounded and unified for the type of
card.

Annex 184/200

11.6.1 EtherCAT Summary over Vendor ID, Conformance test,


Membership and Network Logo
11.6.1.1 Vendor ID
The communication interface product is shipped with Hilscher’s secondary vendor ID, which
has to be replaced by the Vendor ID of the company shipping end products with the
integrated communication interface. End Users or Integrators may use the communication
interface product without further modification if they re-distribute the interface product (e.g.
PCI Interface card products) only as part of a machine or machine line or as spare part for
such a machine. In case of questions, contact Hilscher and/or your nearest ETG
representative. The ETG Vendor-ID policies apply.

11.6.1.2 Conformance
EtherCAT Devices have to conform to the EtherCAT specifications. The EtherCAT
Conformance Test Policies apply, which can be obtained from the EtherCAT Technology
Group (ETG, www.ethercat.org).

Hilscher range of embedded network interface products are conformance tested for network
compliance. This simplifies conformance testing of the end product and can be used as a
reference for the end product as a statement of network conformance (when used with
standard operational settings). It must however be clearly stated in the product
documentation that this applies to the network interface and not to the complete product.

Conformance Certificates can be obtained by passing the conformance test in an official


EtherCAT Conformance Test lab. Conformance Certificates are not mandatory, but may be
required by the end user.

11.6.1.3 Certified Product vs. Certified Network Interface


The EtherCAT implementation may in certain cases allow one to modify the behavior of the
EtherCAT network interface device in ways which are not in line with EtherCAT
conformance requirements. For example, certain communication parameters are set by a
software stack, in which case the actual software implementation in the device application
determines whether or not the network interface can pass the EtherCAT conformance test.
In such cases, conformance test of the end product must be passed to ensure that the
implementation does not affect network compliance.

Generally, implementations of this kind require in-depth knowledge in the operating


fundamentals of EtherCAT. To find out whether or not a certain type of implementation can
pass conformance testing and requires such testing, contact EtherCAT Technology Group
(“ETG”, www.ethercat.org) and/or your nearest EtherCAT conformance test centre.
EtherCAT may allow the combination of an untested end product with a conformant network
interface. Although this may in some cases make it possible to sell the end product without
having to perform network conformance tests, this approach is generally not endorsed by
Hilscher. In case of questions, contact Hilscher and/or your nearest ETG representative.

11.6.1.4 Membership and Network Logo


Generally, membership in the network organization and a valid Vendor-ID are prerequisites
in order to be able to test the end product for conformance. This also applies to the use of
the EtherCAT name and logo, which is covered by the ETG marking rules.

11.7 Notes on earlier Hardeware Revisions


11.7.1 Failure in 10 MBit/s Half Duplex Mode and Workaround
The note is only valid for the PC cards cifX up to serial numbers indicated:
PC Cars cifX Part No up to Serial Number
CIFX 104-RE\F 1278.101 20003

Failure of the Network Communication


 Do not operate hardware with the communication controllers netX 50,
netX100 or netX 500 with the protocols Ethernet TCP/UDP/IP,
EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP at 10 MBit/s in half-duplex mode, otherwise
failure of the network communication can occur.
 Use only switches or 10/100 MBit/s dual-speed hubs and ensure that
the network operates at 100 MBit/s and in full-duplex mode.

Affected Hardware
Hardware with the communication controller netX 50, netX 100 or
netX 500; netX/Internal PHYs.
When can this Failure occur?
When using standard Ethernet communication with 10 MBit/s half duplex
mode, the PHY gets stuck in case of network collisions. Then no further
network communication is possible. Only device power cycling allows
Ethernet communication again.
This problem can only occur with Ethernet TCP/UDP IP, EtherNet/IP or
Modbus TCP protocols when using hubs at 10 MBit/s. The issue described
above is not applicable for protocols which use 100 MBit/s or full duplex
mode.
Solution / Workaround:
Do not use 10 MBit/s-only hubs. Use either switches or 10/100 MBit/s Dual
Speed hubs, to make sure the netX Ethernet ports are connected with 100
MBit/s or in full duplex mode.
This erratum is fixed with all components of the ‘Y’ charge (9 digit charge
number shows ‘Y’ at position 5 (nnnnYnnnn).

each other. A hub does not provide own intelligence, thus it does not
analyze the data traffic and sends received data to all connected
communication partners. A hub can be used for setting up a star topology.
Industrial Ethernet
See Real-Time Ethernet
IP
Internet Protocol.
IP belongs to the TCP/IP family of protocols and is defined in RFC791. It is
based on layer 3 of the ISO/OSI 7 layer model of networking.
It is a connectionless protocol, i.e. you do not need to open a connection to
a computer before sending an IP data packet to it. Therefore IP is not able
to guarantee that the IP data packets really arrive at the recipient. On IP
level neither the correctness of data nor the consistence and completeness
are checked.
IP defines special addressing mechanisms, see IP Address.
IP Address
Address within IP (the Internet Protocol, part of TCP/IP).
An IP address is an address identifying a device or a computer within a
network using the IP protocol. IP addresses are defined as a 32 bit number.
Usually, for ease of notation the IP address is divided into four 8 bit
numbers which are represented in decimal notation and separated by
points:
a.b.c.d

PC Cards cifX PC/104 | Installation, Operation and Hardware Description


DOC120206UM54EN | Revision 54 | English | 2022-03 | Released | Public © Hilscher, 2008-2022
Annex 195/200
where a.b.c.d are each integer values between 0 and 255.
Example: 192.168.30.15
However, not all combinations are allowed, some are reserved for special
purposes.
The IP address 0.0.0.0 is defined as invalid.
MAC-ID
MAC = Media Access Control
Definition for Ethernet:
A MAC-ID is on delivery a unique (physical) Ethernet address of the device.
MAC-IDs are defined as a 48 bit number. Usually, for ease of notation the
MAC-ID address is divided into six 8 bit numbers which are represented in
hexadecimal notation and separated by “minus”-signs (-):
A-B-C-D-E-F
where A-B-C-D-E-F are each integer values between 0 and 255.
Example: 00-02-A2-20-91-18
Definition for DeviceNet: The MAC-ID is the network address of the device.
The network address of a device serves to distinguish itself on a DeviceNet
fieldbus system from any other device or Slave on this network. This should
be a unique number for each device. A valid MAC-ID address is within a
range of 0 to 63 and can be re-entered and changed in the MAC-ID box in
the Device Configuration Dialog.
Master
Type of device that initiates and controls the communication on the bus
Modbus Data Model
The data model distinguishes four basic types of data areas:
• Discrete Inputs (inputs) = FC 2 (Read)
• coils (outputs) = FC 1, 5, 15 (Write and Read back)
• Input register (input data) = FC 4 (Read)
• Holding register (output data) = FC 3, 6, 16, 23 (Write and Read back).
It should be noted, however, that depending on the device manufacturer
and device type:
• the data area in the device may be present or not,
• and two data areas can be combined into one data region. For example,
discrete inputs and input registers can be a common data area, which can
be accessed with read-FC 2 and FC 4.
• Further FC 1 and FC 3 are used instead of reading back the inputs to read
the outputs.
MPI
Multi Point Interface
The MPI is a proprietary interface of the SIMATIC® S7® series of PLCs. It is
compatible to PROFIBUS and based on RS-485. It usually works with a
transmission rate of 187.5 kBaud.
