PowerMonitor 500 EtherNet/IP Device Profile

Connections

The Assembly Object supports both scheduled (Class 1) and unscheduled

connections (Class 3 and UCMM). Both connections are used to access

instances 100d to 108d of the Assembly Object:

UDP - Nine Class 1 connections each to the nine assembly instances 100

to 108 at 100 ms RPI ran stable

TCP - Nine Class 3 connections each to the nine assembly instances 100

to 108 at 200 ms RPI ran stable

Both - UDP and TCP can run at the same time

Heartbeat Instances

In addition to the Assembly instances shown earlier, the communication module

also recognizes two heartbeat instances. A heartbeat instance is a virtual output

instance that can be specified by devices wishing to establish Input Only and

Listen Only Class 1 I/O connections to the communication module. Data

cannot be read from or written to a heartbeat instance. The heartbeat instance is

merely a programming construct that serves to keep the connection active.

The communication modules's heartbeat instances are Instance 98 for the Input

Only connection and Instance 99 for the Listen Only connection.

Behavior

The purpose of the Assembly Object is to act as a network interface to the

PowerMonitor 500 unit’s data. That data can be accessed by a variety of means:

Class 1 or Class 3 connections and also with UCMM messages.

Technical Notes

This section lists additional technical information about Ethernet network

communication.
