    Ethernet/IP communication option. It is critical to note that Ethernet/IP devices only communicate with other systems running the “Industrial Protocol” of Ethernet. You cannot plug a MetriNet into your office Ethernet and expect to have the instrument talk to your desktop computer.

    Association. It is readily available in lengths up to 100 ft. (30 m) with plugs on each end. To install an Ethernet cable in the MetriNet, pass the unterminated cable through the cable gland nearest the location of the RJ45 connector on the Ethernet/IP option board.

    ^Host Comms listing of the OPTIONS menu to enable Ethernet/IP functionality. Configuring fixed IP with BOOTP The next step in the use of the MetriNet is to sort out how an IP network address will be assigned to the instrument. The MetriNet acquires a dynamic network IP address from the network client/master through the BOOTP service, which is enabled by default for ODVA EIP-CIP conformance.

    192.168.0.X, as the subnet mask 255.255.255 locks in the first three variables. The default value for the MetriNet is 192.168.0.254, so it can now be reached by the Find the Rockwell BOOTP PC application and launch it.

  • Page 8: Figure 5 - Setting Ip/Mask Assignment In Bootp Server

    On next screen, you must create an assignment relationship to match a known MAC ID with a desired IP address. The MAC ID for your MetriNet is written on a label inside the enclosure. For this example, we will use the MAC ID - 00:80:A3:9B:BE:B6 and assign it an IP of 192.168.0.30.

  • Page 9: Figure 6 - Successful Detection Of Mac Id And Ip Address

    MetriNet will search for a BOOTP server on power up and won’t find the service because it is not used here now, and the MetriNet is also not connected to the PC. It will then revert to the stored default – the last successful BOOTP assignment.

  • Page 10: Figure 7 - Ping And Arp Command Tests For Ip Address Setting

    Note that the “arp -a” listing still shows this IP as a “dynamic” assignment, as this is the fall-back IP that has been stored in the MetriNet. On power up, the MetriNet will still try and find a BOOTP server for 30 seconds, and then default to this stored value as the fallback.

    Sensor dependent variable. The formatting of these variables are based on the specific data value from that sensor. See the M-Node sensor manual for details. There are no analog voltage outputs of the bussed MetriNet system. However, the scaled 0-2.5V value from the sensor can be used to simplify the creation of the scale value for other purposes.
