The XPosition gateway provides connectivity between high precision GPS

and inertial navigation devices to Rockwell Automation’s Logix

(ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™) family of controllers.

The gateway operates in a Logix “owned” mode. With a Logix connection

the input and output assemblies will provide additional diagnostics

information which will be available in the Logix controller environment.

The gateway uses an external GPS receiver to provide accurate position

information. The external GPS or inertial navigation device provides

various accuracy estimates allowing the user to make informed decisions

for high precision position and velocity applications.

The XPosition gateway supports dual antenna receivers, allowing users to

access Yaw, Tilt and Heading data.

The integrated webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system

configuration and operation, including the display of GPS time, position,

and velocity without the need for any additional software.

Features

• EtherNet/IP interface to high precision Positioning equipment:

 • GPS devices

 • Inertial Navigation

 • Supports NMEA over Ethernet

• Positioning and Velocity information in Logix image

• Positioning and Velocity information for Modbus TCP/IP (as a Server)

• Positioning Accuracy and Status information

Configuration

• The Slate Configuration Utility software is used for configuration and

troubleshooting of the gateway. The stand alone configuration utility

allows users to define the setup and configuration of the XPosition

gateway, connections with controllers and devices.

Features

• Direct link from PROFIBUS PA to EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP

• Exchange up to 2 kilobytes of PROFIBUS PA device and status data

• Support for up to 32 PROFIBUS PA slave devices

• Embedded 2 port Ethernet switch – DLR capable

Configuration

• The Slate Configuration Utility software is used for configuration and

troubleshooting of the module. The stand-alone configuration utility allows

users to define the setup and configuration of the PROFIBUS PA module,

connections with controllers and devices.

The PROFIBUS PA gateway allows the user to interface PROFIBUS

PA DPV0/DPV1 to either EtherNet/IP™ or Modbus® devices.

When configured as a Master, the PA Link can exchange up to 2

kilobytes of PROFIBUS PA device and status data.

The PA Link has two Ethernet ports for a Linear or Ring (Device Level

Ring – DLR) Ethernet topology. The Ethernet ports can also be

configured for port mirroring, allowing for better fault analysis.

The PA Link can synchronize to an NTP Server allowing for automatic

time synchronization. It also supports an onboard non-volatile event log

for improved fault finding. The PA Link has a built-in Power Conditioner

which can supply up to 420 mA. The power conditioner is protected

against a configurable overcurrent limit. The module also has a

configurable built-in Fieldbus terminator.

The PA Link provides a range of statistics and tools to provide a

detailed diagnostic overview of each PA Link, which speeds-up fault

finding. The Slate Configuration Utility allows the user to perform a

PROFIBUS PA packet capture of the running Fieldbus which can be

used to analyze the bus behavior and packets received. The PA Link

also provides global and device specific statistics.

The Router can operate in both Logix “owned” and standalone mode. With

a Logix connection, the input and output assemblies will provide additional

diagnostics information in the Logix controller environment.

The Router’s RS485 port uses a terminal block for convenient installation.

A built-in webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration

and operation, including the display of received DH485 communication

packets, without the need for any additional software.

Features

Configuration

• The Slate Configuration Utility software is used for configuration and troubleshooting of the Router. The stand-alone

configuration utility allows users to define the setup and configuration of the Router, and connections with controllers

and devices.

The A-DH485R/B DH485 Router provides intelligent data routing between

EtherNet/IP™ and DH485. simplifying the migration from MicroLogix and

SLC systems with DH485 communications to EtherNet/IP based

ControlLogix or CompactLogix platforms.

The Router can be used for remote programming of a SLC5/03 controller

via Ethernet.

The DH485 Router’s AIC Mode provides direct conversion between RS485

and RS232. an ideal replacement for Rockwell’s 1761-NET-AIC module.

Alternatively, the Router makes use of the DH485 destination Node

Address, (and Data File address in certain modes), to determine the target

Logix controller. The mapping table, which can be configured in minutes,

supports connections up to 8 Logix controllers.

In Transparent PCCC mode, the user will be able to program and connect

to SLC5/03 PLCs.
