Connection Parameters Needed for HMI/cMT Products to Communicate with ODVA EtherNet/IP (Explicit Messaging) using EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro)

Introduction

All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with ODVA EtherNet/IP (Explicit Messaging). Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.

Supported Series: Crevis EtherNet/IP NA-9188

Please click [Tag Editor] when adding this driver to initiate tag information. To edit address tag, please see the factory manual.

Tag Editor dialog showing the Assembly_Object selected under Struct-Defined, with five members listed including Input_Produced and Output_Consumed with BYTE[255] data types.

Tag Editor Setup

  1. Create a New Data Type

    In Tag Editor, right-click Object-Defined and select New data type. Enter a name for the new data type (e.g., Tags) in the Name field.
    Tag Editor dialog with Object-Defined selected and a context menu showing the New data type option for creating a custom data type named Tags.

  2. Add an Address

    Click Add to open the Add Data Member dialog. In the EIP Data section, enter the member name, set the Class, Instance, and Attribute values in hex, then select the appropriate Data Type and click OK.
    Add Data Member dialog overlaid on Tag Editor, showing EIP Data fields with Name set to Input_Produced, Class 4 (Assembly), Instance 1, and Attribute 3 in hex.

Adding Vendor ID: Example

The following is an example of how to add Vendor ID in Tag Editor. See 3.2.3 Identity Object in the factory manual for the detail of this ID.

Factory manual page showing Identity Object class code 01HEX with Instance Attributes table listing Vendor ID 741 (Crevis Co., Ltd), Device Type, Product Code 512 (NA-9188), and Revision fields.

Under Struct-Defined select Identity to add Vendor_ID. {1,1,1} represents {Class code, Instance ID, Attribute ID}. Enter UINT in the Data Type field according to the factory manual. When finished, this data member can be found in Identity Object.

Tag Editor tree view showing the Struct-Defined group with Identity selected among other objects including Assembly_Object, Ethernet_Link_Object, and CREVIS_DEVICE under Object-Defined.
Edit data member dialog with Name set to Vendor_ID{1,1,1} and Data Type UINT, showing the available data types list including Assembly_Object, BOOL, BYTE, and Identity.

Wiring Diagram

NOTE: Connect the HMI to the PLC using a standard Ethernet cable (straight-through).

The diagram below shows the Ethernet cable wiring.
