4 Quick Start Guide 4.1 Gateway Configuration Use an Ethernet cable to connect the GT200-EI-CA to the PC. Set DIP Switch to "2(ON) , 1(OFF)". In configuration mode, use SST-EC-CFG configuration software to set parameters such as IP address and...
5 Software Instructions 5.1 Precautions Please set the DIP Switch (2) to ON, (1) to OFF as the product is used for the first time, and configure the parameters in the static configuration. Noted the IP conflict will cause the start-up failure of the product. Users can upload/download configuration in the static configuration, the product cannot communicate with the devices in this process.
5.2.2 Search Device Click "Search Device" you can search all devices on the network. 5.2.3 IP Search "IP Search" can search specified device by IP address, thereby configure this device. At this time, it only lists the device using the IP address. www.SSTAutomation.com...
Click the "Configure" button or double-click the selected device, a window will pop up as follows: 5.2.5 Industrial Ethernet Configure Ethernet parameters including "Select Protocol", "Assign IP Mode", "IP Address", "Subnet Mask", "Gateway Address", "DNS1", "DNS2", and "VendCode". www.SSTAutomation.com...

The parameters that can be configured as follows: Assign IP Mode: Supports Manual Assign and DHCP. IP Address: Set the IP address of the device. Subnet Mask: Set the subnet mask of the device. Gateway Address: Set the gateway address of the device. DNS1: Primary Domain name server (may not be set in LAN ).
5.2.6 CAN CAN Protocol Type: Supports CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B. Baud Rate: 10K-1Mbps 5.2.7 Save/Open Configuration Load Config.file-Open and display the configuration data saved in the computer. www.SSTAutomation.com...

Save Config. File to PC: Save the configuration parameters to the computer (.chg) for later viewing, pay attention to save this file. Export Excel to PC: Save configuration parameters to computer (xls). Select the device in the list, click the "Save Config. File to PC" or "Export Excel to PC" button, and select the path to complete the operation.
5.2.8 New Click the "New" button.Open the configuration interface after the parameters was initialized: Note: The "New" function is mainly used for off-line configuration. Namely: Configuration interface can also be opened without device in initialization parameters. 5.2.9 Remote Reset Click the "Remote Reset" button, as shown in the pop-up interface as follows. www.SSTAutomation.com...

6 Working Principle 6.1 Data Exchange Mode The communication mode between CAN and EtherNet/IP is asynchronous, as shown in the figure below: "Data 1" shows the data transmission process from EtherNet/IP to CAN. "Data 2" shows the data transmission process from CAN to EtherNet/IP. An EtherNet/IP I/O output can carry 1 CAN frames.
Note: For AB PLC, when RSLogix 5000 configures I/O, input is 4 bytes more than output, and input is 20 bytes. 6.3 Instance 101 Data Byte Definition Data direction: EtherNet/IP -> CAN The corresponding meaning of 16 bytes is as follows: 16 bytes can only contain one CAN frame. Byte 8-15 Single/...
Number data control If GT200-EI-CA received CAN frame on CAN network, the sequence number of input frame will add 1. Users decide whether to use these CAN frame according to the needs. For example: Send a CAN frame, the sequence number is 10, the data frame in CAN2.0A working mode, ID=0x123, and the data is 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08.
