  • Page 2 USB Drive HMI RS232 The Montalvo Z4 Controller, with Ethernet Option, can provide communication capability within an industrial Ethernet network (e.g. Ethernet/IP). The module for this option is factory installed. Existing controllers without the option can be upgraded by replacing the HMI Module (or cover plate) with the Ethernet Module.
  • Page 3 The PLC can only write to parameters in the Z4 that are mapped to physical connections (analog and digital) if they are configured first in the Setup Menu/Com Menu/Remote Menu/ Enable Menu in the Z4. The individual parameters' remote access is set to NO if remote control is not allowed (default), YES if it is.

  • Page 5 Finding the Z4 on the Network Using IPConfig The first step to changing the Z4 settings is having the IP address of the Z4 controller set to the users’ intended subnet. There are a number of utilities available to do this, but a simple and effective one is a program called ‘IPConfig’...
  • Page 6 Figure 2: Selecting the Configuration menu option for the Z4 controller The Configuration menu for the Z4 will allow for Ethernet configuration, including changing the IP address and turning DHCP functionality on or off. After making a change to these settings, the Z4 controller needs to be power cycled in order for the changes to take effect.
  • Page 7: Ethernet (Option)

    Using the Z4 Controller’s Internal Website The Z4 controller with Ethernet has an internal website built into it that can be used both to interact with the controller as well as to configure the device’s Ethernet settings. The site can be accessed by typing the controller’s IP address 192.168.168.202 into a browser for any...
  • Page 8 The internal site can also be used in order to interact with the Z4 controller itself, serving as a basic HMI over Ethernet. In order to read or write values to the Z4 controller, click on the ‘Parameters’ button on the left side of the screen, which will load the Z4 parameters that can be accessed using the Ethernet interface.
  • Page 9: Changing Configuration Parameters

    Config Mode setting from ‘No’ to ‘Yes’. This operation can be performed using either the LCD screen on the face of the Z4 controller or the USB interface. Once done changing the parameters, the Z4 controller should be taken out of Config Mode.
  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

    Z4 is not Responding to Packets Sent to its IP Address • It is possible the Z4 has an IP Address that is shared with another device on the network. Try changing the IP Address of the module using the IPConfig software, and sending packets again.
  • Page 11 Different versions of RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 will require configuration steps in different orders, such as when to register the eds file. If you have any problems speak to the Montalvo controls engineer for assistance or contact your Rockwell Software representative, as this type of issue is due to a Rockwell environment change.
  • Page 12 5. Install the Z4Controller_v11.eds using RSLinx Classic tool EDS Hardware Installation Tool. 6. Access the Z4 EIP module via the network port just changed and set its network address to that of your controls network. To further access the Z4 EIP module you must set your network interface port to the new address subnet.
  • Page 13 'Z4_Template' (Unexpected attribute will be ignored.) Complete - 0 error(s), 1 warning(s) Place the Z4Controller_v11.eds and Z4-board.ico together in a folder on your computer. Run the RSLinx Classic tool EDS Hardware Installation Tool, select Add and either Register a single file or Regiser a directory of EDS files.

  • Page 15 Using the sample RSLogix program The Z4 EIP module v1.002 has implicit CIP direct I/O, 62 direct Input SINTs from the Z4 to the PLC and 12 direct Output SINTs from the PLC to the Z4. It also has many internal parameters accessible only by explicit CIP messaging.
  • Page 16 • All signed or unsigned integers READ are stored as DINT tags. • All BOOLEAN parameters are mapped within the Z4 as single integers, value 0 or 1. To make their logic use practical they are read into BOOLEAN tags by READing just bit 0.

  • Page 20 These parameters are buffered and will not necessarily show the currently active values. 1. Any WRITE command in the PLC will write the extended parameter data to the Z4 buffer. From the buffer the Z4 will check the data range validation before sending it to the active parameters.
  • Page 21 This chart shows the list of internal parameters accessible through the EIP interface. Each line item (parameter) has information useful for programming access to the direct I/O variables and the CIP Instance Assemblies. This chart is also contained in original MS Excel format and is available on the Montalvo web site along with this document.
