Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH

Technical documentation

This interface realizes conversion from TCP/IP

connection RJ45 connector for 10/100 Base T
link to serial RS232 or/and R485 line.
The interface is able to work in slave MODBUS/
TCP protocol (server mode), direct connection
(tunnel) in server or client mode. It is also able
to send mail via SMTP protocol using a simple
HAYES command on the serial line.
Isolation: Serial lines (RS232 and RS485) use
common potential but are isolated from power
supply and network connection. Isolation is 1500V
from network connection to power supply and
serial lines. The voltage isolation is 750 V from
power supply and serial lines.

2. Connection

2.1 Power supply

The power supply uses a standard, removable, 5.08 mm size connector with ground connection. The voltage can be from
10 to 34V DC or 10 to 24V AC. The consumption is less then 2 Watts.
An additional connector provides an extra power supply (10 to 34V DC) for redundant power management. Ground
connections are also available with screw connections on the same side of e-ILPH. This connection uses an A connector as
shown on the following figure:

2.2 Ethernet Network

Network connection is realized through standard RJ45 CAT5 cable. This connection can be realized when the product is
powered up. The speed of connection is automatically chosen between 10 or 100 Mb depending on network possibilities.

2.3 Serial port

2.3.1. RS485 connection:

This connection uses two removable 5.08 mm connector plugs. The following figure shows the connections and polarity

2 - Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH | Data sheet

2.3.2. RS232 Connection:
The RS232 connection uses standard male DB9 connectors or screw connections. (You must choose only one).
The metallic part of the connector is connected to ground. The wire configuration is the same as on the DB9 P.C.

This configuration can replace any serial PC connection with an Ethernet connection using e-ILPH and the same cable used
before. E.g. with AC31, any CPU can be connected to the serial port using standard 07SK50 cable

RTS signal management: This signal is set to logical true (negative polarity) when characters are sent to the TX pin. It
drops after sending the last character, and this signal can be used to manage other RS232/RS485 signal converters or
telecommunication modems.

3. Configuration
The configuration menu and switches are used to define parameters such as IP address, TCP port address and also serial
parameters and working mode (tunnel, MODBUS/TCP, etc.)
Default, from factory setup: All values are set to use the product in MODBUS/TCP slave mode. To use this mode
just set IP address and it’s ready to go!

3.1 Switch configuration

Configuration by switch is validated after a reset of the product. Changes only take effect after switching the power off and
on again. The switches are accessed by opening the product on the left side as shown on the figure:

SWITCH A: used for hardware configuration of RS485

The on position is on the left side of the switch (keeping orientation of the previous figure)
Switch 1 and 2 must be in the same position. They are used to set polarization on the RS485 lines. When these switches
are set to the on position the line is polarized.
Switch 3: connects RS485 line to 120W resistor. This is done to realize an adaptation line on the end of the bus. The

Data sheet | Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH - 3

 connection is made when the switch is set to the on position. The following diagram shows the connections

SWITCH B: used for serial parameters and principal functioning possibilities

1: Soft / switch configuration selection. When this switch is set to the on position switch configuration is ignored, and
the system is configured using the software. When it is set to the off position, switch configuration is valid.
None of the parameters defined in the following switch can be modified by the software
2: Tunnel or MODBUS mode selection. When the switch 1 is in the off position, the e-ILPH always functions in server
mode. Switch 2 is used to choose whether the working mode will be Tunnel mode (transparent mode) or MODBUS/TCP
slave mode. When switch 2 is set to the off position, Tunnel mode (transparent mode) will be selected. Otherwise, e-ILPH
works in MODBUS slave mode.
3: AC31 program mode selection. When this switch is set to the on position, it is used to select a specific working mode
to switch automatically from MODBUS TCP to direct mode. This specific working mode makes it possible to download
programs via the Ethernet connection.
4: Stop bits selection. When this switch is set to the on position the serial format uses one stop bit. Otherwise it uses two
stop bits.
5: Parity / No parity selection. When this switch is set to the on position the serial frame includes no parity. When it is set
to the off position the parity is determined by the position of switch 6.
6: Even or Odd parity. This switch selects even or odd parity when switch 5 is set to the on position. When it is set to the
on position even parity is selected.
7: Speed configuration 1
8: Speed configuration 2
Theses switches select the serial speed from 4 values according to the following table:
Switch 7 Switch 8 Speed selected
Off Off 9600
On Off 38400
Off On 57600
On On 115200

3.2 Ethernet and serial line software configuration
Software configuration is accessible using the network or serial link. In both cases the configuration menu is the same.

3.2.1. Connection to configuration menu with network connection

To connect to the e-ILPH use the TELNET software. TELNET is a terminal mode under network connection and is always
included in the Windows software package. The command to call TELNET is as follows (from the DOS command window):
TELNET <IP> <port>
where <IP> is the IP address in decimal mode separated by dots, e.g. 10.33.152.77 where <port> is the TCP port used for
connection. The default standard is 23, so it is not necessary to add this value in the command. For example to connect to
a brand new e-ILPH (with default factory-set values):
TELNET 10.33.152.76
On some recent Windows packages (WIN2000 ….) hyper terminal mode gives the possibility of network connection using
Win sock instead of COMx connection. This software can be used to configure e-ILPH (in this case TCP channel can be set
to 23)

3.2.2. Connection to configuration menu using RS232 serial connection

Configuring e-ILPH is possible via the R232 serial port connection. This possibility is particularly useful because there is no
need to know the IP address assigned to the product. To create this configuration:
Switch off the e-ILPH
Connect it to the serial line of the PC with a cross cable.
Open terminal mode (hyper terminal or other), and configure the link with 9600 bauds, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow
control. In this mode the serial configuration does not depend on switch or software configuration and will be always the
same.
To enter in setup mode hold down the x key then switch on the e-ILPH. When the e-ILPH detects the xxx sequence it
enters setup mode, and then the configuration process is the same and independent of connection type.

3.2.3. Entering the setup menu

Immediately after connection, e-ILPH displays an interface enabling you to select setup or monitor mode. Monitor mode is
an advanced menu that allows you to read and write data from and to the setup memory. This is an expert mode and fairly
complex. It will be described in another specific document.
In the first configuration menu wait a few seconds before pressing the enter key to switch to setup menu. Some interesting
information is displayed. See in the following line some examples of this display:

the MAC address is the unique hardware address of each e-ILPH,

In the second line the software version is displayed (with date in parentheses) followed by the library version number.
After pressing ENTER the display goes to setup menu mode as the following lines show:

Data sheet | Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH - 5

 The first part displays the current configuration values, with current IP address, current working mode (in the example
e-ILPH is in MODBUS/TCP slave mode) and the serial lines parameters.
Then the choice menu is displayed, with the number and the corresponding choice:

3.2.4. Network configurations

The menu is used to configure the e-ILPH to be recognized by your network. Please ask your local network manager before
setting values.
IP Adress: Enter this menu by pressing “0” + “Enter”. E-ILPH asks you for the IP address, and the current value of each
byte is displayed in parentheses. If you don’t want to change the byte value, just press the Enter or period key. The system
displays the next byte. If modification is necessary just enter the new value in decimal mode followed by the Enter or period
key.
Gateway address: This address is used when you need to go out of the internal network, using a server or a router. You
must enter the address specified in our server or router. If you need this option, answer Y to the following question: “Set
Gateway IP Address and subnetmask <N>”. The current value is displayed in parentheses. If no modification is needed just
press the Enter key.
The procedure for changing the gateway IP address is the same as for setting the IP address.
Netmask: Netmask defines your local sub network. E-ILPH checks if the required address fits this sub netmask to check if
the remote module is in your local sub network. If not, the Gateway IP address is used to route to the final destination. The
procedure for entering the netmask is the same as for entering an IP address.

3.2.5. Serial line parameters

This menu is used to determine serial link parameters. Some parameters are not accessible if switch 1 is set to the on
position (see chapter on switch configuration). For each parameter, the current value is shown in parentheses. If no
modification is needed, just press Enter.
Setting the baudrate: enter the required baudrate value from the following list 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600, 115200
If there is no modification of the current value, just press the Enter key. This setting is not accessible if switch 1 is on.
Setting character size: enter the character size (7 or 8 bits). This value is not accessible if switch 1 is on.
Input parity (0, 1, 2): 0: no parity, 1: Odd parity, 2: Even parity, this value is not accessible if switch 1 is on.
Input number of stop bit (1 or 2). This value is not accessible if switch 1 is on
Input flow control: 0 no flow control, 1 XON/XOFF control

3.3 Software operating mode configuration

You can choose between the 4 following modes. In addition, in Modbus® /TCP slave mode you will be able to use two
additional functions, to improve system performance: Asynchronous mode and Modbus® Easy Net mode (more detailed
description in the next chapter).
This menu is used to select the working mode from the following menu that is displayed afterwards:

6 - Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH | Data sheet

Each selected menu displays a new menu with the parameters required for the selected operation. The first line indicates
the current operating mode. If no modifications are required just press Enter.

3.3.1. Slave MODBUS/TCP mode, simple use

Choose “0”. The subsequent menu requests:
Source port: This is the TCP channel used for MODBUS/TCP communication. Usually the value is 502, but this value can
be changed (any number from 1 to 65536, except 23 which is reserved for TELNET configuration), to correspond to the
master configuration.
Slave Timeout: This is the timeout value expressed in ms for receiving the slave’s response. This value is specifically used
when there are two masters. This time is allowed to elapse before sending the request from the second master if there is no
response. This timeout value is also used to manage the concentrator mode
Enable automatic switch MODBUS-DIRECT mode <Y>: This parameter enables functioning of automatic switch mode
from MODBUS/TCP to transparent mode. See Chapter 3.3.4 If the parameter is Y (Yes) the next parameter line is displayed,
otherwise the next parameter is not necessary.
Communication port on AC31 PLC (1): Enter the communication port which is used to connect to AC31. 1 is the
programming port, 2 is the CS31 port.

3.3.2. Asynchronous mode : Modbus® Data table exchange

Asynchronous list<Y>: This parameter validates the concentrator operation mode. If Yes is selected, the following
parameters are requested to define a list of MODBUS requests managed asynchronously from the Ethernet communication.
The result catch from the serial slave is built in a data table in the e-ILPH. This table can be read with a limited number of
requests. The limitation is 119 Words for each request. The read is performed at any slave serial speed, Response time is
then fully optimized
Frame delay: Enter the wait time generated between each request in ms. This may set a value different from zero when
slow slaves are connected to the serial line. Default value is 0
Result address: Enter MODBUS address of the result table. The default value is 31000. This value can be modified if it is
not in the supervisor range. Table is 1200 words in length, but only 119 words can be read in the same request (MODBUS
limitation).
Request address: Enter MODBUS address of the configuration table. The default value is 30000. The table contains
12 requests: each request uses 4 words; the first is the slave number, the second is the function code, the third is the
MODBUS address, and the fourth is data size. The table should be read of write only with one MODBUS request, starting
at the <Request address> value. Warning! The data modified using the MODBUS write command are not stored in flash
memory and will be lost if the power supply is interrupted.
Request: this value is only displayed. it indicates, from 1 to 12, the number of request which parameter follows
Slave number: Enter slave number from 0 to 255. 0 is used for broadcast message
Function: Enter the MODBUS function code. The following table shows the permitted function code in the request table:
Function code Function description
1 or 2 Read bit
3 or 4 Read word
15 Write bit
16 Write word

Enter 0 in this parameter to end the input table.

Modbus address: Enter Modbus address of the slave data

Data sheet | Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH - 7

 Data size: Enter amount of data exchanged, limited to 100 words for each request, i.e. 1600 bit in the case of function
codes 1, 2 and 15.
Example:
15 function: Write in Modbus Slave 79 , one bit in address 5088.
Minimum size for bit is 16, and modulo 16.
Afterwards, end the table configuration by 0 for slave number and 0 for function.

3.3.3. Specific Modbus Easy Net function

This mode allows data exchange between any MODBUS slave connected to e-ILPH, without Modbus master operation.
Data are exchanged between the different e-ILPH participants connected to the Modbus/TCP network using specific data
tables. These tables are updated with slave data using the asynchronous mode.
The first step is to create the data exchange table, as in Asynchronous mode. Please refer to last paragraph After
creating the data exchange table, follow the menu.
Data Exchange <N>: type “Y” for Yes
Destination port: 00025 by default. All the e-ILPH which exchange data together must have the same port. You can use 1
to 65536.
Destination IP: <000> Enter the address you want. Press Enter or “.” to validate or go to the next parameter.
Destination IP: <010> <33> <152> <076>, “0” at the end is used to send to all the addresses of the network which are on
the same port.
Refresh delay <250>: Delay between 2 transmissions of tables in milliseconds. Minimum value “0” means as far as
possible, do not overload the network. Maximum value: 65636. This refresh delay has to be less than all the timeouts from
the other e-ILPH.
Refresh timeout <512>: If no answer is received from anyone when this timeout has elapsed, 2 choices are available: reset
or keep the values. The choice is made using the next parameter.
Reset Value on timeout : <Y> Choose between “Y” to reset the values or “N” to not reset the values.
Number of blocks exchanged < 12> From 1 to 12 is the result of the Table. You can send just a part of the table (always
from the beginning).
You come back to the Menu. Save and Exit by pressing “5” option.

Function code associations:

Function code Function description Associated function Associated function code
1 or 2 Read bit Write bit 15
3 or 4 Read word Write word 16
15 Write bit Read bit 1 or 2
16 Write word Read word 3 or 4

In this example, we will use 3 different products, which exchange some variables.
e-ILPH N°1: IP 10.33.153.76 Will give access to all the information from the table to the 2 other e-ILPHs
e-ILPH N°2: IP 10.33.153.77 Will give access to all t he information from the table to the 2 other e-ILPHs
e-ILPH N°3: IP 10.33.153.78 Will give access to all t he information from the table to e-ILPH N°2

3.3.4. Automatic switch from MODBUS/TCP to direct mode
This specific mode is used when connected to AC31 PLC range series 50 & 40.
This mode enables automatic switching from MODBUS mode to direct (transparent mode). The change is performed when
the connection is in MODBUS mode and it arrives with a frame that is not a MODBUS frame.
When this new connection or new frame is received by the e-ILPH, it sends a specific frame (depending on whether COM1
or COM2 is selected in the configuration) to convert the PLC to programming mode. When the connection is closed, the
e-ILPH returns to MODBUS mode, after sending a frame to switch the PLC back to MODBUS mode.
While the direct connection is open, if a MODBUS connection already exists, exception code 6 (device busy) is sent to the
master when each request is made. This normally generates no timeout and the whole network’s efficiency is maintained.

WARNING: This automatic possibility is allowed if ONLY ONE PLC is connected to the e-ILPH

3.3.5. Transparent server mode

Choose 1 in the menu. The menu displayed asks for:
Source port: This is the TCP channel (from 1 to 65536, except 23 which is reserved for TELNET configuration) used to
communicate in transparent mode.
1st ASCII code for pack data (0): This is the ASCII code that is check for Ethernet sending decision. The e-ILPH makes
it possible to group characters before sending the frame to Ethernet. One or two characters can be defined. The main
example is to send the frame when a Carriage return followed by a line feed needs to be detected to send the frame to
Ethernet. If both the 1st and 2nd characters are set to 0 the Ethernet frame is generated for each received character.
2nd ASCII code for pack data (0): second ASCII code for pack decision.

3.3.6. Transparent client mode

Choose “2” in the menu. The menu displays asks for:
SMTP server IP address: Enter the server IP address, using the same procedure as entering your own IP address.
Destination Port: Enter server destination port (from 1 to 65536)
Connection with HAYES command <Y>: Enter the HAYES command used for connection. If the response is N (No), the
subsequent menu lines ask for the characters (1 or 2) needed for connection
1st ASCII code for connection command (13): 1st character for connection decision
2nd ASCII code for connection command (0): 2nd character for connection decision. The procedure is the same as for
the packing decision. If both parameters are set to 0, connection is generated with any character.
1st ASCII code for pack data (0): this character is used for the packing decision (generate Ethernet frame) when
connection is established. The procedure is the same as in server mode.
2nd ASCII code for pack data (0): second character for pack decision, using the same procedure as in server mode

3.3.7. Mail mode

In this mode e-ILPH is able to send simple and limited text mail to two different receivers with a simple text command.
Choose “2” in the menu. The menu displayed asks for:
SMTP server IP address: enter the SMTP server IP address (procedure is the same as entering your own IP address)
TCP port for mail server: Enter the TCP port for mail server, default value 25. This value can be modified to correspond to
a specific SMTP server
Mail recipient 1: (mail1@fr.abb.com): Mail recipient 1: Enter (with limit of 48 characters) mail addresses of the first mail
recipient. To delete the value just press the space bar and Enter key. If no modification is required, press Enter
Mail recipient 2: (mail2@fr.abb.com): Enter (with limit of 48 characters) mail addresses of the second mail recipient. To
delete the value just press the space bar and Enter key. If no modification is required, press Enter.
Domain name (e-ILPH.com): Enter (with limit of 23 characters) the domain name of e-ILPH (sender of message). To delete
the value just press the space bar and Enter key. If no modification is required, press Enter.
Unit name (e-ILPH): Enter (with limit of 23 characters) the unit name of e-ILPH (sender of message). The mail sender
address will be generated by adding the Domain name and unit name separated by @ such as UnitName @DomainName.
To delete the value just press the space bar and Enter key. If no modification is required, press Enter.
Message 1 (This is the subject): Enter (with limit of 23 characters) the subject of the message. To delete the value just
press the space bar and Enter key. If no modification is required, press Enter.
Message 2 (This is first line): Enter (with limit of 23 characters) the first line of the message. To delete the value just press
the space bar and Enter key. If no modification is required, press Enter.

Data sheet | Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH - 11

 Message 3 (This is second line): Enter (with limit of 23 characters) the second line of the message. To delete the value
just press the space bar and Enter key. If no modification is required, press Enter.
Connection with HAYES command <N>: Enter the HAYES mode command is used for connection. If the response is N
(No), the next menu lines ask for the characters (1 or 2) needed for connection
1st ASCII code for connection command (13): 1st character for connection decision. If the connection is successful it will
automatically send mail
2nd ASCII code for connection command (0): 2nd character for connection decision. The procedure is the same as for

5. Hayes commands (In mail mode)

Hayes commands are used in Mail mode; there is a command for configuration, display values and a command for
connection. The commands are not case-sensitive

5.1 Configuration command:

ATM1 or ATM2: Set mail recipient 1 and 2, followed by 48 characters max. If the command is sent alone (with no following
characters) the mail recipient will be deleted
ATMU: set unit name, followed by 23 characters max. If the command is sent alone (with no following characters) the unit
name will be deleted
ATMD: set domain name followed by 23 characters max. If the command is sent alone (with no following characters) the
domain name will be deleted.
ATMS1, ATMS2, and ATMS3: set message 1, 2 or 3, message 1 is the subject of mail, others are lines of body. Limited to
23 characters. If the command is sent alone (with no following characters) the message will be deleted.

5.2 Display command:

ATL: Display command; shows the current configuration (IP address of server mail recipient etc.)

5.3 Connection command:

ATDT: Connection command. This command will automatically generate connection to the remote SMTP server and send
mail to the recipients

6. Monitor mode
Monitor mode is an expert mode that makes it possible to set configurations more efficiently than in the configuration menu.

6.1 Enter monitor mode with serial link

Connect the terminal to the serial port. Set the terminal’s serial line parameters to 9600 bauds, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop
bit
Switch off e-ILPH, keep the terminal’s z key pressed down and switch on e-ILPH. When the e-ILPH detects zzz it will
automatically switch to monitor mode.
The connection is made when the terminal prompts with a number followed by >. The value of the number depends on the
previous command (see table below with command response codes)

Data sheet | Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH - 13

 6.2 Enter monitor mode with Ethernet connection
Connect to the e-ILPH using TELNET or hyper terminal with a sock IP connection. In the first menu, instead of the Enter
key press the M key to switch automatically to monitor mode

6.2.1. Command Response Codes

Response Meaning
0> OK; no error
1> No answer from remote device
2> Cannot reach remote device or no answer
8> Wrong parameter(s)
9> Invalid command

All the commands accessible in monitor mode are described in detail in a specific document. Here is the description of the
most important one as is it can be used often to set the IP address for production or installation tools.

6.2.2. Command co:

This command is used to set the IP address and gateway address, and also to define the port number and number of host
bits. The command memorizes the new value and then generates a reset. Communication will be lost because of this reset.
An X is sent by e-ILPH before reset if the command is successful
co IP1.IP2.IP3.IP4 N GIP1.GIP2.GIP3.GIP4 P
Where:
IP1.IP2.IP3.IP4 is the e-ILPH IP address
N is the number of host bits
GIP1.GIP2.GIP3.GIP4 is the gateway IP address
P is the port number. Entering 0 will generate the factory default configuration after the reset.

6.2.3. Command NC:

This command shows the current network configuration
Here is an example of a result given by the NC command on an e-ILPH whose IP address is 010.033.152.077, with no
gateway set and a mask definition of 255.000.000.000 (network class A)
IP 010.033.152.077 GW 000.000.000.000 Mask 255.000.000.000

6.2.4. Command QU
This command quits the monitor mode. This is not necessary when using the co command.

7. Expert debugging mode

7.1 Trace debug with telnet

Telnet connectivity makes it possible to debug serial communication by tracing communication exchanged on theserial
port. This debug tool is accessible on the main menu by entering menu 66 (this menu command is not shown on the list to
reserve access for the expert team).

14 - Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH | Data sheet

7.2 Trace debug in MODBUS communication
The following trace shows an example that could be encountered in MODBUS communication:

All data are displayed in decimal mode. Each byte is inserted in ( ) or [ ]. Data in ( ) are exchanged physically on the serial
line, data in [ ] are additional byte exchanges on the TCP level.
The byte following the indication From TCP is the request. This message is followed by Wait: nn. This is the number of
bytes to wait for a response. This number is calculated from the function code and the amount of data requested
The trace which follows this request line contains the byte received on the serial line. At the end of the frame I=nn indicates
the number of received characters, CRC OK indicates that CRC coming from serial line is OK, and Packed indicator shows
the message has been sent to the TCP connection.
When the connection is stopped a message indicates on which port TCP connection can occur.

Data sheet | Ethernet - serial interface e-ILPH - 15

 7.3 Trace debug in SMTP communication
The following example shows an exchange between e-ILPH and SMTP server mode

In this trace text we can see trace information, such as Active mode: Connection to port: 25 when the
connection starts.
Some messages are specific to the SMTP protocol, such as commands like HELO, MAIL FROM etc.
At the end of the connection we see the information trace for Disconnect.

8. Update firmware
Firmware update is performed via the Ethernet connection. The functionality uses the tftp function implemented into the
Windows package. The firmware update is a ROM extension file. To update, launch this command in the DOS window from
the directory where the eILPHxxx.ROM file is located. “xxx” is the version number
tftp -i 10.33.152.76 PUT eILPH100.ROM X2
Where 10.33.152.76 is the remote IP address of the e-ILPH to be updated
And eILPH150.ROM is the code file that contains updated firmware (example with 1.5 version number)
The update time is about 1 second using the 100 Mb network. The e-ILPH will be automatically reset once the update is
finished.
