8 Industrial Ethernet OverviewThe ABR reader can be monitored and controlled using Industrial Ethernet protocols (EtherNet/IP or Modbus/TCP). On themonitoring side, the ABR makes the barcode data output string configured on the Data Formatting page available to a PLCor HMI along with eight user-defined output bits. These output bits can be configured to report the current status of theABR, including Good Read, No Read, etc. or to report the status of an input bit.Control of the ABR using Industrial Ethernet is possible using eight user-defined input bits. These can be configured asReading Phase On, Reading Phase Off, Acquisition Trigger, or they can control an output bit.Input command strings cannot be sent to the ABR using Industrial Ethernet, but trigger and Host Mode Programmingcommands can be sent to the TCP server channel by a socket connection.8.1 Industrial Ethernet Setup in Barcode Manager8.1.1 Set the Industrial Ethernet Protocol (EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP)The Industrial Ethernet communication channel is disabled by default.To enable this channel, use the following instructions.1. From the Reading Phase, Data Formatting, or Output Setup pages, click Add New Industrial Protocol.Note: This option is available only for Installer-Expert users.2. Select one of the choices:• EtherNet/IP• Modbus/TCP3. After changing the settings, click Play, Monitor, or Getting Started to activate Industrial Communicationswith the new settings.8.1.2 Industrial Ethernet Reading Phase ControlThe Industrial Ethernet host controller can control the reading phase by assigning individual communication bits to readingphase parameters. These bits are received on the Industrial Ethernet channel as Input Bits.To control the reading phase start and end using Industrial Protocol Input Bits, use the following instructions:ABR 3000 Series Barcode Reader48 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767
