2.4 Safety Instructions

This manual contains instructions which must be observed to ensure your
own personal safety and to avoid damage to devices.

2.4.1 Electrical Current

Electrocution
ƒ Disconnect the power plug of the PC and make sure, that the PC is
WARNING! current-free.
ƒ Only after disconnecting power open the PC cabinet and install or
remove the cifX card.

Device Destruction!
ƒ Use only 3.3 V for power supply to operate the card.
CAUTION! Operation with 5 V power supply leads to device destruction.
Also all I/O signals are only 3.3V tolerant.

The cifX card may not be powered by a 5 V power supply! The cifX card
may only be powered by a 3.3 V power supply. The use of a higher supply
voltage than 3.3V may result in severe damage to the cifX card! Further, all
signal pins require 3.3V signaling voltage and are not 5 V tolerant!

2.4.2 Electrostatic Discharge

Adhere to the necessary safety precautions for components that are
vulnerable with electrostatic discharge (EN 61340-5-1 und EN 61340-5-2
as well as IEC 61340-5-1 und IEC 61340-5-2).

Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which cause
CAUTION! internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow guidelines when you
handle this equipment:
ƒ Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
ƒ Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
ƒ Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
ƒ Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
ƒ If available, use a static-safe workstation.
ƒ When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate static-safe
packaging.

3 Description and Requirements

3.1 Description
The cifX devices described in this user manual are PC cards for real-time
Ethernet communication. Depending of the loaded firmware, the cifX card
proceeds the communication of one of the following real time Ethernet
systems:
• EtherCAT Master
• EtherCAT Slave
• EtherNet/IP Scanner (Master)
• EtherNet/IP Adapter (Slave)
• Open Modbus/TCP
• Powerlink Controlled Node / Slave
• PROFINET IO-RT-Controller
• PROFINET IO-RT-Device
• SERCOS III Slave
The cifX handles the complete data exchange between the connected
Ethernet devices and the PC. The data exchange is proceeded via dual-
port memory.

Display Meaning
Ready Indicates, that the firmware has been started correctly. The firmware
waits for a configuration.

Error Indicates, that the firmware reports an error.

Change of State The system change of state field contains information of the current
operating status of the communication channel.
State The system status field holds information regarding netX operating
system rcX. The value indicates the current state the rcX has.
Error The system error field holds information about the general status of the
netX firmware stacks. An error code of zero indicates a faultless
system.

8 Troubleshooting
General
¾ Check, if the requirements for cifX card operation are served:
Further information to this you find in section Requirements for Operation
on page 18.

LINK-LED
¾ Check using the LINK LED status, if a connection to the Ethernet is
established.
Further information to this you find in chapter LED Real Time Ethernet
Systems on page 58.

Cable
¾ Check that the pin occupation of the used cable is correct.

Configuration
¾ Check the configuration in the Master and the Slave device. The
configuration has to match.

Diagnostic using the netX Configuration and Diagnostic Utility (Slave)

With the menu netX Configuration and Diagnostic Utility > Diagnostics
the diagnosis information of the Slave device is shown. The shown
diagnostic information depends on the used protocol.

Diagnostic using the System Configurator SYCON.net (Master)

With the menu Online > Diagnosis the diagnosis information of the Master
device is shown. The shown diagnostic information depends on the used
protocol.

Note: More information about the device diagnosis and its functions you
find in the operating manual of the corresponding Real Time Ethernet
system. Therefore refer to section Documentations cifX Cards on page
10.
