The IndraControl communication driver implements communication with Bosch Rexroth IndraControl L20/L40 PLCs using a EtherNet/IP adapter.
Communication Driver Name: IndraControl
Implementation DLL: T.ProtocolDriver.IndraControl.dll
Manufacturer: Bosch Rexroth
Protocol: EtherNet/IP - Bosch
PLC Types Supported: Bosch Rexroth IndraControl L20/L40
Interface: TCP/IP
Supported Data:
| Type | Read | Write | Data Type |
|---|
| EtherNet/IP Adapter Outputs | Yes | Yes | Byte Only |
| EtherNet/IP Adapter Inputs | Yes |
| Byte Only |
Channel Configuration
Node Configuration
Station Configuration
Stations syntax: <IP>;<Port>;
Where :
- <IP> = The IP address of the slave device in the network
- <Port> = The TCP port where the slave device is listening (default is 44818)
Sample Node configuration
| Name | Channel | Primary Station |
|---|
| IndraControl | IndraControl | 192.168.200.105;44818 |
Point Address Configuration
The syntax for the IndraControl communication points is: <%QB><Address> for Outputs and <%IB><Address> for inputs
E.g.: %QB1 (Type = Output, Address = 1)
Sample Points Configuration
| TagName | Node | Address | DataType | AccessType |
|---|
| Output1 | IndraControl | %QB1 | Native | ReadWrite |
| Output2 | IndraControl | %QB2 | Native | ReadWrite |
| Output3 | IndraControl | %QB3 | Native | ReadWrite |
| Output15 | IndraControl | %Q15 | Native | ReadWrite |
| Input1 | IndraControl | %IB1 | Native | Read |
| Input1 | IndraControl | %IB2 | Native | Read |
Troubleshoot
The status of the driver's execution can be observed through the diagnostic tools, which are:
• Trace window
• Property Watch
• Module Information
The above tools indicate if the operations have succeeded or have failed. A status of 0 (zero) means communication is successful. Negative values indicate internal driver errors, and positive values indicate protocol error codes.
