Thank you for taking the time to join. Currently, I am working on integrating the Endress FML621 via Ethernet/IP with RSLogix5000. While other Endress instruments have module profiles in RSLogix, this specific one does not. I am considering using a generic Ethernet module, but I am unsure about the size of input/output data. This system is connected to 2 density probes and 2 temperature probes, and I need to ensure all data is properly integrated with the RSLogix CPU L71 V30. Thank you for your assistance.
Hello, it is necessary to install EDS provided with the Endress FML621 device. This step is crucial for proper functionality and compatibility with the device. Make sure to install the EDS software as it is essential for seamless integration and optimal performance of Endress FML621.
To access RSlogix 5000, follow these steps: add a new module and choose the vendor. This process is essential for integrating new components into your system. Selecting the vendor ensures compatibility and smooth operation of your equipment. Remember to regularly update modules to enhance performance and reliability.
To ensure proper functionality, it is necessary to install the EDS provided by Endress for the FML621. Access RSLogix 5000, insert a new module, and choose the vendor from the list.
In order to set up the Endress FML621, it is essential to install the EDS provided by the manufacturer. Within RSLogix 5000, you will need to add a new module and choose the vendor. Unfortunately, the CD is missing and Endress was unable to provide assistance. Is there a way to obtain a download link for the EDS? Thank you.
Hello everyone, I am experiencing the same issue and my device did not come with any EDS CDs or similar. Has anyone been able to find a solution to this? Thanks to everyone.
It sounds like you're dealing with a bit of a puzzle here. As a workaround, I recommend you to try manually configuring the generic Ethernet module with the necessary details such as Input/Output Assembly Instances, Size, and RPI. Additionally, you might want to reach out to Endress+Hauser support as they might be able to provide an EDS file for this specific instrument. Remember to ensure your data mapping is tested thoroughly after configuration - you don't want any errors slipping through the cracks!
Hi there! It's great that you've explored the possibility of using a generic Ethernet module. Although the FML621 does not have an explicit profile in RSLogix5000, it should still be viable using the generic approach. Generally, the input/output data size depends on the particular device features you plan to utilize and its communication setup in the network. Have a look at the DeviceNet or PROFIBUS manuals for Endress devices, they usually state the needed sizes. Since your configuration includes both the density and temperature probes, you might need to allow additional data sizes for those measurements. I would also recommend getting in touch with Endress+Hauser's technical support—they should be able to provide you with the necessary details related to your specific setup.
It sounds like a challenging integration! Since the FML621 doesn't have a predefined module profile, using a generic Ethernet module could be a good workaround. Typically, you can find the input/output data size in the device's manual, which should detail the data structure for both the density and temperature probes. Make sure to define the correct tags in RSLogix5000 to match these data sizes appropriately. If you run into specific challenges, the Endress+Hauser support team might also be able to provide direct guidance—sometimes they have additional resources or tools to help with these integrations! Good luck!
