The iMAC2 Controller’s Ethernet port settings are not configurable via the HMI; they must be altered using
the iMAC2 Web Interface. The Controller’s web server can be accessed using a one-to-one Ethernet
connection with an Ethernet enabled device. Temporarily configure your device’s Ethernet port as follows:
Figure 3: Updating the Ethernet Port Settings of the Connectable Device
Once the network adaptor of the external device has been configured as shown in Figure 3, connect the
iMAC2 Controller’s Ethernet port directly to your device’s Ethernet port, the iMAC2 Controller should then be
able to be pinged at 10.1.1.10. Once a successful ping has been performed, open a web browser (Chrome
recommended) and enter the iMAC2 Controller’s IP address into the address bar: http://10.1.1.10; the
iMAC2 Controller web pages should load within a few seconds.

EtherNet/IP Protocol
2.3
The iMAC2 Controller uses industry standard EtherNet/IP protocol for exchanging data with compatible
Ethernet devices. The EtherNet/IP protocol is the adaptation of the Common Industrial Protocol to the
Ethernet platform. EtherNet/IP allows both implicit (synchronous) and Explicit (asynchronous) messaging,
with UDP port 2222 being used for implicit messages.
The iMAC2 data transfer is carried out via the following Assembly Instances:
Input Assembly Instance 100: defined by a block of 100 (16-bit) words.
Output Assembly Instance 150: defined by a block of 30 (16-bit) words. (Not currently used).
Config Assembly Instance 50: defined by a block of 0 bytes. (Not currently used).
The requested packet interval is configurable, and to guarantee all iMAC module data is sent to the PLC this
interval needs to be set to a rate faster than the iMAC controller is scanning its connected modules (referred
to as the iMAC Controller’s “linespeed”). The linespeed is set by the iMAC SLP code, and can be configured
in the range from 300 to 1000.
There are three commonly used linespeeds: 300, 500 and 1000. The following table specifies the maximum
EIP “packet interval time” that can be used for each of the commonly used linespeeds.
Table 3: Maximum EIP Packet Interval
iMAC Linespeed EIP Packet Interval (max)
1000
100 ms
500
225 ms

The requested packet interval defaults to 225msec, with a maximum allowed being 400msec.

Therefore, module data for four modules is sent from the iMAC2 at each packet time (offset 1 to 16), as well
as controller data (offset 20 to 37), EOL/MEOL module data (offset 38 to 47), General Buffer data (offset 50
to 73) and Non-Volatile Memory data (offset 75 to 98). The Start Block Address at offset 0 specifies the
node address of the first of four modules in each transfer. This Start Block Address is incremented by 4 for
each implicit message transfer. So that data for nodes 0, 1, 2 and 3 is updated at packet time t, then data for
nodes 4, 5, 6 and 7 is updated at packet time t+1, and so on until data for nodes 252, 253, 254 and 255 is
sent (at packet time t+63). Then the Start Block Address is reset to 0, and data for nodes 0, 1, 2 and 3 is
updated again.
Applications requiring iMAC2 data over EtherNet/IP need to take this progressive data update into account.
(This is taken care of in the RSLogix5000 Add-On Instruction described later).

BOOL
Set by the controller when it first detects an input module address online on its L1
fieldbus. May be cleared by application (SLP) software. (POR=0)
L1ClashBit
BOOL
Set by the controller when two input modules transmit different data on the same
address, clear otherwise.
Global
BOOL
Must be intentionally set by application (SLP) software if the corresponding data
address needs to be published up the L2 fieldbus, thus making it a Global
Address.
L1OwnBit
BOOL
Set by the controller when it detects an input module address on its L1 fieldbus,
cleared if module not detected.
L2OwnBit
BOOL
Set by the controller when it detects the corresponding address on its L2 fieldbus.
The Global Select bit for this address must be set to allow the controller to “see”
up its L2 fieldbus. This should be done during the STARTUP segment of the
application (SLP) software.
SysOwnBit
BOOL
Must be intentionally set application (SLP) software when the corresponding data
register is to be owned by the system. Setting this bit forces the corresponding
data register to be an output. All addresses are assumed to be an input unless
this bit is set. If an input module is connected to a system owned address on L1, a
L1 clash error will occur.
L2ClashBit
BOOL
Set by the controller when it detects the address is Online on both its L1 and L2
ports if the address Global Select bit is set.
HighByteBit
BOOL
Must be intentionally set by application (SLP) software when the corresponding
data register is to be partially owned by the system. Low byte of data register

AOIs
4.2
This subsection will describe four RSLogix5000 add-on instructions that have been written for retrieving the
EtherNet/IP data from the iMAC2. Instruction parameters and logic (where relevant) is to be described.
4.2.1 iMac_Demux_AOI
This AOI reads in data from the iMAC2 EIP module assembly instance, and distributes it to iMAC2 bug UDT
instances and the iMAC2 Controller UDT instance. It uses a network setup lookup table to determine where
the bug data needs to be distributed. The AOI parameters are as follows.
Name
Usage Data Type
Description
InputAssembly
InOut
INT[100]
Input assembly data from Ethernet
iMac_Network_Config InOut
iMac_Network_Config_DT iMAC network configuration lookup table.
iMac_Controller
InOut
iMac_Controller_DT
iMAC Controller UDT
iMac_Modules
InOut
iMac_Modules_DT
All bug data.
The iMac_Demux_AOI InputAssembly input parameter is of the form described earlier in Table 3.1: iMAC2
Controller Input Assembly Instance Data Structure. The AOI logic works in two stages:
In stage 1, the Data, Status, Resistance and ErrCnt data for each of the four consecutive modules
(with the first module node address specified in Start Block Address) is stored to the iMac_Controller
DATA, STATUS, RESIST and ERROR arrays. The next block of input assembly data is stored to the
iMac_Controller Runtime data. Lastly, the General Buffer and NV Memory data is stored to the
GENBUFF and NVM arrays. In time, the data for all bugs (modules) will eventually be stored to the
iMac_Controller UDT instance.
In stage 2, the iMac_Network_Config parameter is consulted, and when there is a valid module type,
the node index is used to transfer the DATA, STATUS, RESIST and ERROR information from the
iMac_Controller array (at the node index) to the iMac_Modules UDT instances, according to the
module type and index. For example, if there is a DI4 module at node address 7, then
iMac_Network_Config[7] = 15 (the module type); data will be transferred from
iMac_Controller.DATA[7] to iMac_Modules.DI4_Modules[7].DI4_Inputs_IPx, and so on for the
STATUS[7], RESIST[7] and ERROR[7] data.
4.2.2 iMac_Clear_Data_AOI
This AOI clears all iMAC2 module and controller instance data. It is intended to be used on first scan only.
The AOI parameters are as follows.
Name
Usage Data Type
Description
iMac_Controller InOut
iMac_Controller_DT iMAC Controller UDT
iMac_Modules

iMac_Modules_DT

and compact. The AOI parameters are as follows.

RSLogix5000 Program/Routine Usage
4.3
The minimum Program/Routine requirements for getting iMAC2 EtherNet/IP data in RSLogix5000 are
shown in Figure 5. They are:
Creation of a Generic Ethernet Module in the RSLogix5000 I/O Configuration tree. This is shown in
Figure 6.
Tags for loading, configuring and storing the iMAC2 data. The tags shown in Figure 5 include:
o Imac:I.Data, the Assembly Instance tag, which is automatically generated by RSLogix5000
when the Ethernet module is created.
o IMAC_Network, the instance of iMac_Network_Config_DT for entering the iMAC2 network
configuration lookup table.
o IMAC_Control, the instance of iMac_Controller_DT for storing the data read from the iMAC2
network, which is the iMAC2 Controller data and the raw modules data.
o IMAC_Modules_all, the instance of iMac_Modules_DT for storing the module data in more
readable and accessible form.
A call to a routine to clear all the iMAC2 EIP data instances. This routine should use the
iMac_Clear_Data_AOI, and need only be called at first scan.
A call to a routine to set up the network configuration for the iMAC2 module network. This routine
should contain instructions for assigning module types at their node addresses; e.g. if a DI4 module
(type = 15) is at node address 7, then use IMAC_Network.Lookup_Table[7].Module_Type := 15;
Lastly, a call to an iMac_Demux_AOI instance to read EtherNet/IP data and distribute it to the iMAC2
Controller and Modules tags, based on the iMAC2 Network setup.

Figure 6: Generic Ethernet Module setup for iMAC2 EIP data.
If there is a SIM-G, SIM-G2, SIM-P or SIM-T module in the iMAC2 network, this needs setting up in a more
complex way because it takes up 16 consecutive node addresses (or 17 for a SIM-P module). Additional
network configuration data is used to specify the SIM-G/SIM-G2/SIM-P/SIM-T unit number and the sub-
index of the node within the 16 (or 17) consecutive node addresses. This is better explained with an
example of SIM-G data setup as follows:

When the PLC code is running, the iMAC2 data will be retrieved from the EIP instance and will be
distributed to the module arrays as needed. For example, the AIM Power module at node address 30 will
have its data inserted into IMAC_Modules_all.AIM_Power_Modules[30] - Figure 9 shows the Power supply
data (24.22V) and resistance value (93 ohms) transferred correctly.
Figure 9: Node 30 data transferred to the PLC.
Once the iMAC2 data is transferred to the PLC correctly, it can easily be referenced and used in the
automation project via aliasing, or via direct tag references such as:
Important_Input_Bool := IMAC_Modules_all.DI8_Modules[7].DI8_Inputs_IP3
