Notes:

Chapter 2
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC System
Architecture
The IntelliCENTER® EtherNet/IP™ MCC system architecture is composed of a physical infrastructure
that enables the appropriate EtherNet/IP network layout and topology for MCC applications. The
physical infrastructure consists of industrial managed Ethernet switches, industrial Ethernet cable,
integrated 24V DC power, and IMC device EtherNet/IP connections. The EtherNet/IP network
topology provides a robust and flexible network solution. These system architecture aspects are
detailed in this chapter.
s
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCCs could be supplied with various Stratix® Ethernet

switches. Check your order documentation to determine which Ethernet switches are
installed in your MCC.
Industrial Ethernet Switch The industrial Ethernet switch is one of the most critical devices in your EtherNet/IP network
because it determines the level of network security, robustness, and flexibility. There are two
distinct types of industrial Ethernet switches: unmanaged and managed. Both types of switches
serve a common purpose; to provide a method to connect industrial Ethernet devices to an
industrial Ethernet network. The way each type of switch controls data on the network varies
greatly and can have a significant impact on the performance of your industrial Ethernet network.
Industrial unmanaged Ethernet switches are designed to provide quick expansion of an industrial
Ethernet network. They are typically unmodifiable or have limited configuration options, and do not
provide added features that let you monitor or control how traffic is being forwarded through the
switch. This option is attractive because of their lower cost and minimal configuration.
However, the potential for lost packets of data on the network is greatly increased with an
industrial unmanaged Ethernet switch due to the potential for Layer 2 faults and broadcast traffic.
If you avoid these types of events, you can provide a more robust and reliable network on a plant
floor. Additionally, industrial unmanaged Ethernet switches do not provide the advanced security
functionality that helps keep your industrial Ethernet network secure.
Industrial-managed Ethernet switches are designed to give you the flexibility and features that help
prevent lost data due to Layer 2 faults and broadcast traffic, which is critical to network
performance. With an industrial managed Ethernet switch, network segmentation, such as Virtual
LANs (VLANs), and network resiliency, such as Device Level Ring (DLR), can be implemented to
make sure that network performance is maintained across a complex industrial Ethernet network.
Advanced security, network management, and diagnostics are other critical features that are
provided in an industrial managed Ethernet switch. These features make sure that the expected
recipient receives the information being sent over the network at the expected time while network
issues are allowed to be easily resolved.
For more information on managed switch functionality, see Advanced EtherNet/IP Configuration -
Industrial Ethernet Switches on page 39.
The features of an industrial managed Ethernet switch provide a robust and flexible EtherNet/IP
network solution, which is why the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC leverages an industrial managed
Ethernet switch.

Chapter 2 IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC System Architecture
Stratix Switches The IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC leverages the partnership between Rockwell Automation and
Cisco® to implement a robust and flexible EtherNet/IP network by using the Stratix® Layer 2
industrial managed Ethernet switch. Premiere integration to the Rockwell Automation Integrated
Architecture® system is provided through the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™). CIP is one of the
fundamental building-blocks of the EtherNet/IP network. This protocol creates cross-functionality
on many intelligent devices and products including Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application Add-
on Profiles (AOPs), Logix controller tags, FactoryTalk® View faceplates, and more. This cross-
functionality of the Stratix Ethernet switch makes sure that your IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC
connects seemlessly to the EtherNet/IP network and intelligent devices in your plant.
The Stratix Ethernet switch leverages embedded Cisco technology, including the Cisco Internet
Operating System, or IOS, software. These common IT development tools are used to configure,
monitor, and maintain the EtherNet/IP network:
• Command Line Interface (CLI) - management tool
• Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA) - tool that offers advanced options for configuring and
monitoring multiple switches among other networked devices
• Device Manager - web interface to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch
Stratix 5200 Switches The Stratix 5200 have up to 20 gigabit Ethernet interfaces and deliver high-speed and gigabit
Ethernet connectivity. The switches support Layer 2 switching on all gigabit platforms.
The Stratix Ethernet switch is available in Base firmware and Full firmware versions. The default
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC configuration uses the Stratix Ethernet switch with Base firmware,
but you can use the full firmware revision if necessary. Table 2 lists the features that are included
in the Stratix Ethernet Switch with Base firmware.
All features, including additional features that are not described in this publication, are configurable
via the Cisco command-line interface (CLI).

Industrial Ethernet Switch The MCC section (also known as column) can use two different industrial Ethernet switch mounting
methodologies:
Mounting Location
• Top or bottom horizontal wireway-mounted Stratix Ethernet switches
- A switch group is composed of all sections, and Ethernet devices within those sections
that are connected to a given Stratix switch unit
- This switch mounting location can support up to eight EtherNet/IP network device
connections per switch group
- Each MCC lineup can consist of as many switch groups as are required to accommodate
the number of Ethernet devices in the lineup
Switches can be mounted in the horizontal wireway of either sections with plug-in units or
sections with full-section frame-mount units. A bottom horizontal-wireway mounting
location is typically used when incoming device cable routing (for example, motor and
power wires) is required in the top horizontal wireway.
Figure 6 - CENTERLINE 2100 IMC Device Wiring - Example of Top Horizontal Wireway-mounted
Ethernet Switch with Homerun Ethernet Connection

• Top or bottom unit-mounted Stratix Ethernet switches

- One or two Stratix switches per switch unit
- A switch group is composed of all sections, and Ethernet devices within those sections
that are connected to a given Stratix switch unit
- This switch mounting location can span up to 9 sections and support up to 24 EtherNet/
IP network device connections
- Each MCC lineup can consist of as many switch groups as are needed to accommodate
the number of Ethernet devices in the lineup
When this switch-mounting method is used, a switch is not placed in the horizontal wireway.
The switch is instead placed in a fixed-mount unit (a frame-mount unit space within the
plug-in structure). This switch unit must be located next to the top or bottom horizontal
wireway.
Figure 7 - CENTERLINE 2100 IMC Device Wiring - Example of Top Unit-mounted Ethernet Switch with
Homerun Ethernet Connection
IMPORTANT You must choose one industrial Ethernet switch-mounting methodology

per MCC lineup. If you choose to have your industrial Ethernet switch
mounted in the horizontal wireway, all sections within that MCC lineup must
have the industrial Ethernet switch mounted in the horizontal wireway.
IMPORTANT Ethernet device connection methodology is independent of switch

placement. Both types of switch-mounting configurations can support
homerun or vertical wireway Ethernet adapter connections. See EtherNet/
IP Network and 24V DC Connections for more information.
MCC sections that use a Stratix Ethernet switch to connect to IMC devices can come configured with
6-port, 10-port, 20-port, or 30-port (combination of 10-port and 20-port switches) switch options.
Switch units can be in the horizontal wireway or in a 0.5 or 1.0 space unit depending on the chosen
port capacity. See Table 9…Table 11for the Stratix 5200 switch types or Table 12 for the Stratix 5700
switch types and locations available for the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC.

(1) The 20-port switch includes two dedicated SFP ports that are not used in the standard IntelliCENTER MCC design.
Regardless of switch mounting location, switch units can be optimized to span multiple sections
and shipping splits if desired. Depending on Ethernet node density within your MCC lineup, switch
units can span up to nine sections. IMC devices within sections that contain plug-in units connect to
the network through vertical wireway Ethernet adapters or homerun connection (direct connection
from device to switch). IMC devices that are in 6.0 space factor frame-mounted units connect to
the network with homerun connections. For more detail on the Ethernet connection options, see
EtherNet/IP Network and 24V DC Connections.
Industrial Ethernet Cable Due to the high potential for electrical interference in an MCC, the proper industrial Ethernet
communication cable is critical to provide excellent reliability and a robust EtherNet/IP network. We
recommend against the use of standard copper Ethernet cable. To provide the noise immunity
necessary in an MCC, we recommend that you use only exclusive 600V, UL Listed, shielded, power
limited tray cable (PLTC) rated, Category 5e industrial Ethernet cable.
With this 600V UL Listed industrial Ethernet cable, the EtherNet/IP network and intelligent devices
in the IntelliCENTER MCCs have been tested to the most rigorous standards for electrical noise
immunity. These test results allow Rockwell Automation to deliver a robust, noise-immune
EtherNet/IP architecture within the MCC:
• Surge - Simulates lightening strike
- ± 2 KV, 40 A surge that is repeatedly applied to the network cable
- IEC 61000-4-5
• Fast Transient Burst - Simulates industrial noise
- ± 1 KV high voltage burst applied to the network cable
- IEC 61000-4-4
• Conducted Immunity - Simulates radio frequency interference
- 150 kHz…80 MHz interference that is applied to the network cable
- IEC 61000-4-6
• Electrostatic Discharge Immunity - Simulates static discharge
- ± 8 KV ESD event at 12 locations on the MCC and network cable
- IEC 61000-4-2
Figure 8 - Industrial Ethernet Network Cable
Table 13 shows the three speeds that the Category 5e cable supports. The higher speed data rates
allow more data to be transferred in a shorter period, which can be vital for applications that
require short response times.
Table 13 - Category 5e Copper Cabling

Speed Rating Data Speed
10Base-T 10 Mb/s
100BASE-TX 100 Mb/s
1000BASE-T 1 Gb/s
The standard industrial Ethernet cable for all switch-to-IMC device connections within the
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is the 600V UL Listed copper Ethernet cable. However, fiber-optic
Ethernet cable is sometimes required for switch-to-switch EtherNet/IP connections in certain
EtherNet/IP topologies. See the Device Level Ring (DLR) section for more information on when fiber-
optic Ethernet cable can be required within an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC.
The 600V UL Listed industrial Ethernet cable is also commonly used to connect the IntelliCENTER
EtherNet/IP MCC to the plant EtherNet/IP network. For more information on the use of the 600V, UL
Listed cable outside of the MCC, see the MCC Uplink Industrial Ethernet Cable in Chapter 3.
24V DC Power 24V DC power is integrated throughout the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC and is supplied by 24V DC
power supplies that reside in plug-in MCC units. Optional redundant 24V DC power supply
configurations are also available, which include capabilities to connect an external UPS supply. The
integrated 24V DC power provides ease of use connections for all IMC devices with EtherNet/IP
communication options that require 24V DC power and the Stratix Ethernet switches. For
information on the 24V DC power connections, see EtherNet/IP Network and 24V DC Connections.
The number of 24V DC power supplies required throughout the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is
dependant upon the number of Ethernet switches and IMC EtherNet/IP communication devices that
require 24V DC power.
Figure 9 shows an example on how 24V DC power is configured.

EtherNet/IP Network and The IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC design uses the best practices from the IntelliCENTER DeviceNet
MCC design but adds the flexibility and performance of an EtherNet/IP network. These design
24V DC Connections methods deliver a fast and reliable industrial network for the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC.
EtherNet/IP Network and 24V DC Connections Within a Shipping Split

CENTERLINE IntelliCENTER MCCs ship configured from the factory in shipping splits that typically
consist of one, two, or three MCC sections. Because the shipping split ships as a continuous block of
MCC sections, all EtherNet/IP and 24V DC power connections for IMC devices within the shipping
split are prewired at the factory. The connections include all Ethernet switch-to-IMC device
connections and all 24V DC power connections for IMC devices. Additionally, Ethernet switch-to-
switch connections within an MCC shipping split are also prewired at the factory. For information on
connections across MCC shipping splits that are not prewired at the factory, see the EtherNet/IP
Network and 24V DC Connections Across Shipping Splits section.

The MCC section type and switch mounting methodology determines how these prewired
connections are made and routed at the factory.
• MCC sections/columns use vertical wireway 24V DC power adapters for 24V connections
and either direct (homerun) Ethernet connections or vertical wireway Ethernet adapters for
IMC device connections:
- The wireway adapters save valuable wireway space, provide ease of use connectivity,
and allow for quick maintenance when devices are moved, replaced, or added.
- The homerun connections use direct device-to-switch Ethernet cables. This direct
connection method along with the cable labels, simplifies MCC cabling and helps to
maintain switch port-to-device mapping.
- The CENTERLINE 2100 and 2500 vary slightly on the wireway adapter mechanism
because the NEMA specifications and market demands are different than IEC
specifications and market demands.
CENTERLINE 2100 IntelliCENTER MCC Sections with Wireway-mounted Adapters
For the NEMA rated CENTERLINE 2100 IntelliCENTER MCC, EtherNet/IP network adapters and 24V DC
power adapters can be mounted in the vertical wireways. There are up to four, 2-port EtherNet/IP
network adapters in each MCC section. Each EtherNet/IP adapter is connected to the Stratix
Ethernet switch in that switch group and can be easily connected to an IMC device. There are two
24V DC power adapters in a typical MCC plug-in section. Each 24V DC power adapter is connected
to the integrated 24V DC power supply and can be easily connected to an IMC device. Any EtherNet/
IP or 24V DC power connection that an IMC device requires, is connected at the factory by using
these adapters. Each section belongs to a specific switch group, and each switch group has one or
two Stratix Ethernet switches that are in a switch unit. (10-port, 20-port, or 30-port switch unit
options are available.)
IMPORTANT The number of Ethernet adapters in the vertical wireway depends on the
number of devices that require connection.
• Two vertical-wireway 24V DC power adapters in all plug-in sections.
• The Stratix switch unit provides Ethernet connections to the IMC devices in its switch group.
A switch group can span 1…9 sections.
• Ethernet devices within the shipping split that contains the switch are pre-connected
through the vertical wireway adapter to the switch at the factory (the Ethernet cable is
connected at both the switch and end device).
• All Ethernet devices outside the shipping split that contains the switch are pre-connected at
the end device only and the end that connects to the switch through the vertical wireway
adapter is coiled in the horizontal wireway. This coil, or industrial Ethernet cable bundle,
must be connected to the appropriate switch unit in the field during commissioning of the
MCC lineup.
• An industrial Ethernet cable label is added to both ends of each cable to verify proper IMC
device-to-switch port mapping and switch-to-switch port mapping.
• An Ethernet network table that contains detailed switch and IMC device information is added
to the one-line diagram of each MCC lineup to help you commission your MCC.
• An Ethernet network diagram that represents network information in pictorial format is
added to the one-line diagram of each MCC lineup to help you commission your MCC.

CENTERLINE 2100 IntelliCENTER MCC with Homerun Cable Connections
For the NEMA rated CENTERLINE 2100 IntelliCENTER MCC, EtherNet/IP network connections can use
direct switch-to-device Ethernet connections (homerun connections) instead of vertical wireway
adapters. 24V DC power adapters are still used to connect IMC devices in plug-in units to the
integrated 24V DC power supply. Each section belongs to a specific switch group, and each switch
group has one or two Stratix Ethernet switches that are in a switch unit. (10-port, 20-port, or 30-
port switch unit options are available.)
• Two vertical-wireway 24V DC power adapters in all plug-in sections.
• The Stratix switch unit provides Ethernet connections to the IMC devices in its switch group.
A switch group can span 1…9 sections.
• Ethernet devices within the shipping split that contains the switch are pre-connected to the
switch at the factory (the Ethernet cable is connected at both the switch and end device).
• All Ethernet devices outside the shipping split that contains the switch are pre-connected at
the end device only and the end that connects to the switch is coiled in the horizontal
wireway. This coil, or industrial Ethernet cable bundle, must be connected to the appropriate
switch unit in the field during commissioning of the MCC lineup.
• An industrial Ethernet cable label is added to both ends of each cable to help verify proper
IMC device-to-switch port mapping and switch-to-switch port mapping.
• An Ethernet network table that contains detailed switch and IMC device information is added
to the one-line diagram of each MCC lineup to help you commission your MCC.

CENTERLINE 2500 IntelliCENTER MCC Columns with Plug-in Units
For the IEC rated CENTERLINE 2500 IntelliCENTER MCC, each plug-in unit incorporates an automatic
mounting for one EtherNet/IP adapter and one 24V DC power adapter. The mechanism
automatically makes the EtherNet/IP network and 24V DC power connections when the unit is
inserted into the column. Each unit provides one EtherNet/IP connection to the Stratix 5700 in that
column and one 24V DC power connection to the integrated 24V DC power supply. Because the
plug-in units are installed at the factory, these automatic connections are also made at the factory.
All EtherNet/IP network and 24V DC power connections from the IMC devices to the plug-in unit
remain intact during unit removal.

CENTERLINE 2100 and 2500 IntelliCENTER MCC Sections/Columns with Frame-mounted
Units
CENTERLINE 2100 and 2500 sections/columns that contain frame-mounted units use direct
(homerun) IMC device connections because they do not contain vertical wireways or wireway
adapters. The EtherNet/IP and 24V DC power connections are prewired from the IMC devices to the
Stratix Ethernet switch and 24V DC power supply at the factory.

EtherNet/IP Network and 24V DC Connections Across Shipping Splits

CENTERLINE IntelliCENTER MCCs ship configured from the factory in shipping splits that typically
consist of one, two, or three MCC sections. Because the shipping split ships as a continuous block of
MCC sections, all EtherNet/IP and 24V DC power connections for IMC devices within the shipping
split are prewired at the factory. The connections include all EtherNet/IP switch-to-IMC device
connections and all 24V DC power connections for IMC devices. Additionally, EtherNet/IP switch-to-
switch connections within an MCC shipping split are also prewired at the factory.
All Ethernet devices outside the shipping split are pre-connected at the end device only. The end
that connects to the switch is coiled in the horizontal wireway. This coil, or industrial Ethernet cable
bundle, must be connected to the appropriate switch unit in the field during the commissioning of
the MCC lineup.
Because Ethernet cables in CENTERLINE 2100 MCCs can span up to nine sections, a teal label on the
outside of the MCC horizontal wireway cover indicates the location of each coil that requires
connection during the commissioning process. Each cable in the bundle contains a detailed cable
label to verify proper IMC device-to-switch port mapping.
IMPORTANT If your MCC lineup includes switch groups that do not span shipping splits,
all Ethernet devices are pre-connected at the factory to each switch unit
(the Ethernet cable is connected at both the switch and end device).

EtherNet/IP Network The EtherNet/IP network is a flexible network that supports multiple topologies (Star, Linear,
Switch-level Ring, and Device Level Ring). The EtherNet/IP network topology within an IntelliCENTER
Topology EtherNet/IP MCC must provide a robust and flexible network solution. Therefore, a star topology is
typically used at the IMC device level and either a linear or ring topology is typically used at the
industrial Ethernet switch level. These topology combinations provide customers with the ideal
EtherNet/IP network solution for their MCC application.

The typical EtherNet/IP network topology that is used in the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is a
linear/star topology. The industrial Ethernet switches throughout the MCC lineup are connected in a
linear topology via their linear trunk (switch-to-switch) connections. The IMC devices in each
section use a star topology to connect to the industrial Ethernet switch level.

Figure 16 - Linear/Star MCC Topology in a Typical Plant-wide Network
Linear Topology
Star
Topology
The linear/star topology within an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC provides the following:
• An easily expandable network architecture
- Star topology allows IMC devices to be easily added to existing MCC sections within an
MCC lineup
- Switch-level linear topology allows MCC sections to be easily added to the MCC lineup
• A flexible, maintainable, and serviceable network architecture
- Star topology allows IMC devices to be easily moved or removed, as MCC maintenance
and lineup changes demand, without impacting the remaining IMC devices
- Switch-level linear topology allows MCC sections to be easily moved or removed, as MCC
maintenance and lineup changes demand, without impacting the remainder of the MCC
lineup
- ADC, a feature that is supported in Logix controllers (PACs), helps minimize downtime by
automatically configuring a replacement IMC device if there is a device failure. For more
information, see the Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) section in Chapter 3
See Chapter 4 for information on how you can expand your MCC lineup.
The linear/start topology that is used in an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC allows it to be seamlessly
integrated into the rest of the plant. See the Plant EtherNet/IP Connection section in Chapter 3 for
more information on plant integration.

Switch-level Ring/Star Topology

An increased focus in the MCC market space is the demand for the IMC devices within the
integrated network to provide a level of high availability. By definition, high availability is the time
that a network or device is fully functioning. Typically, this time includes the ability of a network to
ride-through a physical device failure or cable break. For MCC applications, high availability also
includes downtime that is associated with hardware or software misconfiguration of the integrated
network or IMC devices. For an MCC solution to be truly considered highly available, it must provide
the appropriate level of network resiliency, and be easy to configure and maintain both physically
and via software. Network resiliency cannot be provided at the cost of losing IMC device
serviceability or intuitive network and device configuration.
The IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is designed to provide ease of use, network resiliency, and
serviceability to achieve the desired level of high availability. To build on the typical linear/star
topology of an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC, the industrial Ethernet switches throughout the MCC
lineup can be also connected in a switch-level ring topology. The Device Level Ring (DLR), a
protocol that is provided by Stratix managed switches, provides a level of resiliency at the switch
level, while the IMC devices in each section still maintain a star topology.
This switch-level ring/star topology provides the same advantages that are described in the
Linear/Star Topology section, but adds switch-level resiliency. This combination provides the
appropriate balance of ease of use, resiliency, and serviceability that is required for high
availability within MCC applications.
IMPORTANT To support switch-level ring/star topology, the Stratix Ethernet switches

require Full firmware versions.
Device Level Ring (DLR)
In an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC, the Stratix industrial Ethernet switch uses the Device Level
Ring, or DLR, to provide the switch-level ring redundant path topology. Figure 17 shows an example
of a switch-level ring topology that uses DLR.
IMPORTANT To support DLR topology, the Stratix Ethernet switches require Full
firmware versions.
Figure 17 - DLR Network Example
Industrial Zone
Stratix Ethernet Switches

in DLR Configuration
The implementation of the switch-level ring topology within an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is
similar to the linear/star topology example in Figure 16. But the switch-level ring topology adds a
ring industrial Ethernet cable that connects the last MCC section back to the plant-wide network. If
one industrial Ethernet cable or industrial Ethernet switch fails, communication is converged in the
other direction around the ring to make sure that all other switches are still connected to the
network. The convergence of communication provides single fault tolerance at the switch level.
The switch-level ring topology is highlighted in Figure 18.

Figure 18 - Switch-level Ring/Star MCC Topology with DLR in a Typical Plant-wide Network
DLR Switch-level Ring

EtherNet/IP Topology
Star
Topology
DLR provides an alternative to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to control network loops, handle
link failures, and improve convergence time significantly. DLR does not require extra hardware; it is
enabled in specific versions of Stratix Ethernet switches (10-port switch with NAT, and all 20-port
switches), and provides the added resiliency via a switch-level ring redundant path topology. DLR
also has security features that help protect ring segments. Unlike other ring protocols, the
dedicated requested packet interval (RPI) values of each end device that is connected to the switch
does not affect DLR. RPI is discussed more in the next section when an overview of REP is given.
The Switch-level Ring/Star topology that is used in an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC allows it to be
seamlessly integrated into the rest of the plant-wide network. See the Plant EtherNet/IP Connection
section in Chapter 3 for more information on plant integration.
Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP)
The Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) is a secondary option for switch-level redundancy. REP has a
few extra configuration steps when compared to DLR, but is available in all Stratix 5200 switches.
Also, device convergence and requested packet interval (RPI) must be noted for REP
implementation.
The REP guidelines in the Resilient Ethernet Protocol in a Converged Plantwide Ethernet System
(CPwE) design guide, publication ENET-TD012, recommend the use of fiber media and small form
factor pluggable (SFP) modules for all switch-to-switch connections, specifically 1 Gbps fiber
connections, to provide optimum convergence in REP topologies. These guidelines are based on
the testing and validation of REP by Cisco and Rockwell Automation, with the Allen-Bradley®
controllers (PACs) configured with the default RPI value of 20 ms for standard I/O.
In many MCC-based applications, device and I/O RPI settings as fast as the default 20 ms are not
required. For applications that can perform appropriately with device and I/O RPI settings of 100
ms or greater, a Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) copper switch-to-switch connection can provide
sufficient convergence in a REP topology. Table 14 shows what types of industrial Ethernet cables
for switch-to-switch connections can be used in combination with what device and I/O RPI criteria
to provide optimum REP convergence.

Table 14 - REP Industrial Ethernet Cable Options

Type of Industrial Ethernet Cables for Switch-to-Switch Device and I/O RPI Criteria for Optimum REP
Connections Convergence
Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) Copper Industrial Ethernet cable(1) Device and I/O RPI  100 ms
(2) Device and I/O RPI  20 ms

Ethernet Cable for information about the cable.
(2) See Fiber Optic Infrastructure Application Guide, publication ENET-TD003 for more information about fiber-optic Ethernet cable.
IMPORTANT If REP is implemented using 100 Mbps Copper industrial Ethernet cable, the
Device and I/O RPI settings must be changed to be  100 ms to achieve
optimum REP convergence.
IMPORTANT The REP industrial Ethernet Cable guidelines that are outlined in this section
require that the MCC Uplink requirements are followed. Not adhering to the
MCC Uplink requirements could negatively impact the REP EtherNet/IP
network performance. For more information on MCC Uplink guidelines, see
the MCC Uplink to Plant-wide Network section in Chapter 3.
IMPORTANT When deploying a switch-level ring/star topology that uses REP within your
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC, the switch-to-IMC device connection
remains the standard 600V, UL Listed copper industrial Ethernet cable. See
Table 14 for switch-to-switch connection guidelines.
For more information on REP and how to implement a REP topology in a plant-wide EtherNet/IP
system, refer to the Resilient Ethernet Protocol in a Converged Plantwide Ethernet System (CPwE)
technical data, publication ENET-TD012.
Other Topologies
As previously mentioned, the EtherNet/IP network is a flexible network that supports multiple
topologies. Along with the Linear/Star Topology and Switch-level Ring/Star Topology, there are
other EtherNet/IP network topologies that provide useful functionality in a plant-wide network. One
of those topologies is Device Level Ring (DLR) at the IMC device level, which is another network
resiliency option. Similar to a switch-level ring design that suits most MCC users, device-level DLR
provides network resiliency via a ring topology. The key difference however, is that device-level
DLR provides network resiliency at the IMC device level whereas, switch-level DLR/REP, discussed
in Switch-level Ring/Star Topology, provides network resiliency at the switch level. Because device-
level DLR provides fault tolerance at the IMC device level, customers typically do not service (add,
replace, move) IMC devices in this topology while the machine is running or under power. As
service is not performed to IMC devices while under power, device-level DLR effectiveness in an
MCC is limited, and thus is typically not used. Instead, device-level DLR is often used at the
machine-level where the IMC devices and industrial Ethernet cables are mounted closer to the
machine itself. Typically, this location is in an electrical panel and not an MCC. Device-level DLR
design requirements, including device count limits and dual-port supported devices, must be
followed.
While device-level DLR does provide fault tolerance at the IMC device level, it also impacts the
flexibility and maintainability of IMC devices within an MCC solution whereas switch-level ring/star
(DLR/REP) does not. As described in the Switch-level Ring/Star Topology section, DLR/REP provides
fault tolerance at the switch level and the IMC device star topology makes sure that IMC device
failures do not affect other IMC devices. The level of fault tolerance that is provided is similar to
device-level DLR. Therefore, the switch-level ring/star topology provides a more highly available
MCC solution and is the preferred redundant path topology within an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC.

Notes:

Chapter 3
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC Plant Integration
As detailed in Chapter 2, the IntelliCENTER® EtherNet/IP™ MCC system architecture (the EtherNet/IP
physical infrastructure and EtherNet/IP network topology) provides an easy to use, robust, and
flexible network solution. This chapter explains how to integrate the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC
into an existing plant-wide and/or enterprise network. Physical-integration aspects including
industrial Ethernet cables for plant EtherNet/IP uplink connections, and industrial Ethernet switch
and IMC device configuration are covered in detail. IntelliCENTER software, which provides an
intuitive, preconfigured user interface for MCC monitoring, diagnostics, and configuration is also
covered.
Plant EtherNet/IP As discussed in the EtherNet/IP Network Topology section in Chapter 2, the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/
IP MCC typically uses a star topology at the IMC device level and either a linear or ring topology at
Connection the industrial Ethernet switch level. The flexibility of the EtherNet/IP network allows these
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC topology configurations to be easily integrated into a larger, properly
designed plant-wide network without interfering with other EtherNet/IP network topologies in the
plant. To make sure your IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is properly integrated into your plant-wide
network, it is critical to connect it appropriately and to choose the right industrial Ethernet cable.
Plant Layers and Zones

As discussed in the Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) Design and Implementation Guide,
publication ENET-TD001, the ideal network-reference model consists of three main layers: the core,
distribution, and access. The IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is integrated into a plant-wide network
by using this model. An example of how an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC connects into a plant-
wide EtherNet/IP network is shown in Figure 19.
The Core Layer usually comprises of Layer 3 Ethernet switches or routers and bridges and
provides connectivity to the Industrial Demilitarized Zone (IDMZ) as shown in Figure 19. The IDMZ is a
buffer between the Enterprise and Industrial zones that provides a barrier between the zones, but
allows for data and services to be shared securely. These switches and routers allow valuable
information from the plant floor (efficiency, energy usage, plant production output) to be securely
shared with the Enterprise business network via the IDMZ. The IDMZ keeps basic enterprise traffic,
such as email or internet usage, from causing interference with the plant-floor EtherNet/IP
network.
Plant-wide networks that interconnect all devices and operations on the plant floor constitute the
Distribution Layer. Layer 3 Ethernet switches or routers, Historian servers, and View servers
typically constitute the infrastructure in the Distribution Layer. Because this layer is the foundation
of the EtherNet/IP network in a facility or plant, network resiliency is often desired. As described in
the EtherNet/IP Network Topology section in Chapter 2, the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC supports
a switch-level ring/star topology, which provides a redundant path topology connection to the
Distribution Layer. An example of network resiliency in the Distribution Layer is shown in Figure 19
by the two industrial Ethernet cables from Zone 1, 2, and 3 to the plant-wide system.
The Access Layer is typically broken into zones that are composed of plant-floor cells or areas.
These zones are commonly segregated from the rest of the EtherNet/IP network with a Layer 2
industrial Ethernet switch. The Layer 2 switch in each zone contains the necessary functionality to
manage network traffic and provide some network security, which maintains the integrity of the
plant-wide network. Each zone uses the appropriate EtherNet/IP network topology to connect its
devices to the rest of the plant-wide network. Each zone has its own critical function and unique
requirements (access, security, control, network resiliency). However, all zones can communicate
with each other over the EtherNet/IP network, if desired.

Chapter 3 IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC Plant Integration
To emphasize the flexibility of an EtherNet/IP network, Zone 1, in Figure 19, connects EtherNet/IP
devices in a linear or daisy chain topology. Zone 2 uses a star or home-run topology to connect
each of the EtherNet/IP devices. Each topology provides different benefits that are based on the
needs of the particular zone. The linear topology in Zone 1 minimizes the amount of industrial
Ethernet cable runs, but does not provide any network resiliency. If there is a cable or device failure
with any device, all devices downstream are disconnected. The benefit of Zone 2 is that all
EtherNet/IP devices that are connected via the star topology are not disconnected if there is an
issue with one device. However, a star topology requires more network cable runs, which typically
requires more industrial Ethernet cabling.
As shown in Zone 3 in Figure 19, the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC easily integrates into the Access
Layer of the plant-wide EtherNet/IP network. The MCC Uplink to Plant-wide Network section
provides guidelines on how the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC network connects to the plant-wide
network. The CPwE Design and Implementation Guide network-reference model helps make sure
that device information in the Access Layer can be securely and reliably provided to the
Distribution and Core Layers as needed. For more information on how to lay out the appropriate
plant-wide EtherNet/IP network, see the CPwE Design and Implementation Guide, publication
ENET-TD001,

MCC Uplink to Plant-wide Network

Figure 20 shows an example of how the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC can be connected to an
Access Layer switch with an industrial Ethernet cable, which then provides the connection to the
entire plant-wide EtherNet/IP network. This connection is commonly referred to as an MCC uplink
and can be used for intelligent device monitoring and/or control depending on the needs of the
MCC application. As described in the EtherNet/IP Network Topology section in Chapter 2, the
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC also supports an optional switch-level ring topology. This topology
requires a second MCC uplink to close the switch-level ring.
Figure 20 - Plant-wide Connection
MCC Uplink
Based on the CPwE Design and Implementation Guide, publication

ENET-TD001, there are limits on the amount of data latency that is acceptable on an EtherNet/IP
network. These limits make sure that the network data is received when needed during critical
plant processes. To make sure that the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC lineup stays within these
limits, there are MCC uplink requirements that are based on the number of industrial Ethernet
switches in the lineup. Table 15 gives a brief overview of the MCC uplink requirements.

Switch-level ring/Star connection is also required to close each switch-level
ring
MCC Uplink Industrial Ethernet Cable
The Industrial Ethernet Cable section in Chapter 2 outlined that the standard industrial Ethernet
cable used throughout the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is the 600V UL Listed Cat 5e copper
industrial Ethernet cable. Because this cable provides a robust, noise immune EtherNet/IP
connection, it is often used for the uplinks to the plant-wide network, though fiber-optic Ethernet
cables are another commonly used option. A fiber-optic Ethernet cable is able to transmit data
easily over extreme distances and is intended for outdoor use, for example, between buildings.
The exact maximum length varies between fiber-optic cables. Consult the specifications of the
fiber-optic cable being used for more information.

Table 16 - Industrial Ethernet Cable Comparison

Type of Cable Maximum Length Between Devices
Copper Industrial Ethernet cables 100 m ((328 ft)
Fiber-optic Ethernet cables >1 km(1) (3280 ft)
(1) Ethernet fiber-optic cable ranges vary based on composition. Consult exact cable specifications for actual maximum lengths.
Fiber-optic Ethernet cables also provide excellent immunity to electrical noises levels, achieved by
the non-conductive material composition of the cable. See the Fiber Optic Infrastructure
Application Guide, publication ENET-TD003 for more information about the use of a fiber-optic
Ethernet cable in an EtherNet/IP architecture.
Additionally, fiber-optic Ethernet cables also provide faster uplink speeds and are sometimes
required to meet network performance requirements or to support redundant EtherNet/IP
topologies. For more information on fiber-optic Ethernet cable requirements for redundant
EtherNet/IP topologies within the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC, see the Device Level Ring (DLR)
section in Chapter 2.
Default EtherNet/IP The integrated EtherNet/IP network within your IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is preconfigured,
tested, and validated at the factory before shipment, which saves you valuable onsite-
Configuration - Industrial commissioning time. The factory preconfigures the IP addresses and subnet masks for the
Ethernet Switches and IMC industrial Ethernet switches and IMC devices using information that is provided by the customer at
the time of order entry.
Devices
• Industrial Ethernet Switches
- The Stratix® 5200 switch Express set-up wizard is used to set the IP addresses, subnet
masks, and switch passwords.
- All other Stratix 5200 switch settings remain in default configuration, which allows for the
quickest integration of the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC into the plant-wide network.
Further configuration of the Stratix 5200 switch settings (for example, Default Gateway,
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), and Smartport) during on-site commissioning is highly
encouraged and is sometimes required to make sure the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC
appropriately integrates into the plant-wide EtherNet/IP network. See the Advanced
EtherNet/IP Configuration - Industrial Ethernet Switches section for more information.
- This configuration is the minimum set-up necessary to allow for the factory test and
validation process to be completed.
- This configuration provides the maximum flexibility when connecting the IntelliCENTER
EtherNet/IP MCC to an unknown plant-wide network configuration.
- Stratix switches are supplied with the latest available firmware revision unless otherwise
noted.
- Stratix switches can have some features, like DHCP Port Persistence or Smartports,
configured upon MCC order entry.
• IMC Device
- The device software is used to set the IP address and subnet mask.
- IP addresses are not set by using the manual address switches on the IMC devices (if
present).
- IMC devices are supplied with the latest available firmware revision unless otherwise
noted.
- IMC devices can be assigned with custom parameters, which are configured upon MCC
order entry.
The IP addresses and subnet masks are also loaded into the IntelliCENTER software database for
future use.
IMPORTANT IP addresses and subnet masks are supplied by the customer at the time
of order entry. The industrial Ethernet switch and IMC device IP addresses
and subnet masks are preconfigured to test and validate the EtherNet/IP
network at the factory before shipment.

Advanced EtherNet/IP As discussed in the Default EtherNet/IP Configuration - Industrial Ethernet Switches and IMC
Devices section, the factory configuration of the industrial Ethernet switches within the
Configuration - Industrial IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC includes the IP addresses, subnet masks, and passwords. All other
Ethernet Switches switch settings are left in the default state. This minimal configuration is used to make sure that the
switch is in a state that allows for the quickest integration of the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC into
the plant-wide network. The advanced features of the Stratix 5200 managed switch provide
valuable network functionality. Further configuration of the Stratix 5200 switch settings (for
example, Default Gateway, Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), and Smartport) during on-site
commissioning is highly encouraged and is sometimes required to make sure the IntelliCENTER
EtherNet/IP MCC appropriately integrates into the plant-wide EtherNet/IP network. The benefits of
these features are described in this section. For more information on the switch and how to
configure them, see the Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-
UM012.
Default Gateway
For connections to your plant-wide network that use a router or Layer 3 switch, industrial Ethernet
switches and IMC devices within your IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC must have a Default Gateway
configured. If the Default Gateway is not configured to reference the router or Layer 3 switch, IMC
device visibility is impacted in software tools like IntelliCENTER software and Studio 5000 Logix
Designer® application. See the IMC device user manual and Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed
Switches User Manual, publication 1783-UM012 for configuration instructions. See Additional
Resources for a list of IMC device user manuals.
Device Level Rung (DLR)

DLR is one of the advanced features of the Stratix 5200 Full firmware industrial managed Ethernet
switch that provides resiliency and redundant path topology at the switch level. How DLR is
implemented in an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is described in greater detail in the Device Level
Ring (DLR) section in Chapter 2. For further information on how to configure DLR in your Stratix
5200 switch, see the Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-UM012.

Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

VLANs allow a network to be segmented into smaller broadcast domains without the need for extra
hardware. The ability to segment into smaller broadcast domains is a vital tool for both network
traffic mitigation and network security. The CPwE Design and Implementation Guide, publication
ENET-TD001, emphasizes the importance of traffic mitigation to limit the effects of Layer 2 faults
and broadcast traffic from occurring on the plant-wide network. These Layer 2 conditions can
increase network latency and jitter, which can cause inefficiencies in a plant process. Devices that
are grouped with a common set of requirements into a VLAN segments that data from interfering
with other data being sent on the network. This data segmentation significantly reduces the
potential of latency and jitter on that network.

VLANs also help to simplify the enforcement of security policies for the plant-wide network. When a
VLAN is created, access ports are assigned to that specific VLAN. A VLAN is configured to allow only
devices that are connected to access ports that are assigned to the same VLAN to communicate
with each other. A device that is connected to an access port that is not assigned to that specific
VLAN is not able to communicate to the devices on the VLAN. For further information on the
configuration of VLANs in your Stratix 5200 switch, see the Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed Switches
User Manual, publication 1783-UM012.

Smartport
Smartport allows specific switch ports to be preconfigured for a certain type of device. This
preconfiguration is done to optimize the switch port settings for common devices like automation
devices, switches, routers, personal computers, and wireless devices. Smartport can be
customized for specific needs that are based on the application.
As with VLANs, Smartport provides added security to the plant-wide network. One of the pre-
configurations that can be applied to the port is the restriction to support only one Media Access
Control (MAC) ID. This restriction of support is commonly referred to as MAC ID filtering. The MAC ID
is the unique hardwired identifier for each network enabled device that is created. Because each
device MAC ID is unique and unchangeable, MAC ID filtering restricts access on that port to a
specific device. No unauthorized devices can gain access to the network if connected to a port that
is using this Smartport feature. If appropriately configured, Smartport can provide the following:
• Optimized industrial Ethernet switch connections
• Enhanced network security
• Improved transmission quality
• Reliability of network traffic
• Port misconfiguration prevention
For further information on the configuration of Smartport in your Stratix 5200 switch, refer to the
Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-UM012.
Port Mirroring
Port mirroring, which is a Smartport feature, is a diagnostics tool that can be used if there are
network communication issues. This feature provides the ability for you to mirror all traffic on a
specific switch port to a secondary switch port that your personal computer or a diagnostics tool
monitors. When you mirror the traffic, you can observe and analyze the information that is being
sent and received on a specific port without impacting that ports functionality or performance. By
analyzing the mirrored port traffic, you can diagnose where an issue is potentially occurring on the
plant-wide network.
For further information on the configuration of port mirroring in your Stratix 5200 switch, refer to
the Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-UM012.
Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping

Internet Group Management Protocol, or IGMP, snooping is a network traffic tool that dynamically
controls the distribution of multicast traffic that is sent on the network. Multicast traffic is used
when multiple devices on the network consume information. If used improperly, multicast traffic
can hinder network performance. IGMP snooping constrains the flooding of this traffic by dynamic
switch port configuration so that multicast traffic is forwarded only to ports associated with a
particular IP multicast group.
For further information on the configuration of IGMP snooping in your Stratix 5200 switch, see the
Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-UM012.

DHCP Port Persistence

DHCP port persistence, or DHCP per port, is the feature that allows an industrial Ethernet switch to
assign IP addresses to devices. The IP address that is assigned is based on the switch port they are
connected to when they are initially connected to the switch. DHCP port persistence is a vital tool
for industrial networks where there is a potential for devices to fail, and quick recovery is essential
to prevent/limit/reduce unnecessary downtime. The port can be configured to give the device that
is connected the same IP address even if the device is a replacement and has another and/or
default IP address. This tool, which is used in tandem with a devices Automatic Device
Configuration (ADC) functionality, provides you with an automated configuration replacement
process if there is a device failure. See Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) for more information.
For further information on the configuration of DHCP port persistence in your Stratix 5200 switch,
see the Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-UM012.
Rockwell Automation Network Services

Rockwell Automation® Industrial Network Services is available to provide guidance or on-site
assistance in the implementation of these advanced Stratix 5200 switch features.
Advanced EtherNet/IP As discussed in the Default EtherNet/IP Configuration - Industrial Ethernet Switches and IMC
Devices section, the factory configuration of the IMC devices includes the IP address and subnet
Configuration - IMC Devices mask. All other EtherNet/IP IMC device settings are left in the default state. This minimal
configuration is done to make sure that the IMC device is in a state that allows for the quickest
integration of the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC into the plant-wide network. Advanced industrial
Ethernet switch features like the ones that are described in the Advanced EtherNet/IP Configuration
- Industrial Ethernet Switches section and corporate enterprise settings, require further IMC device
EtherNet/IP network configuration. See the IMC device user manual for configuration instructions.
See Additional Resources for a list of IMC device user manuals.
Default Gateway
For connections to your plant-wide network that use a router or Layer 3 switch, industrial Ethernet
switches and IMC devices within your IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC must have a Default Gateway
configured. If the Default Gateway is not configured to reference the router or Layer 3 switch, IMC
device visibility is impacted in software tools like IntelliCENTER software and Studio 5000 Logix
Designer application. See the IMC device user manual and Stratix 5200 Ethernet Managed Switches
User Manual, publication 1783-UM012 for configuration instructions. See Additional Resources for a
list of IMC device user manuals.
Automatic Device Configuration (ADC)

If an IMC device fails, the typical procedure requires an engineer or technician to have the
information about the device that is being replaced including the IP address, firmware revision, and
device parameters. The engineer or technician must also have the skill set and tools that are
required to update the new IMC device with this information. The process to gather all this
information and enter it into the replacement IMC device can take an extended period, which
results in unnecessary plant downtime. With ADC and Studio 5000 Logix Designer Firmware
Supervisor enabled and configured for intelligent devices and a Stratix 5200 managed switch with
DHCP port persistence enabled, an engineer or technician only has to replace the device. The IP
address, firmware revision, and device parameters are immediately and automatically pushed to
the device, significantly reducing the plant downtime to a matter of minutes. To take advantage of
the downtime savings that ADC can provide, the architecture must include the following:
• Logix controller with ADC and Firmware Supervisor enabled
• IMC devices that support ADC
• Stratix 5200 industrial managed Ethernet switch with DHCP port persistence enabled
Figure 22 shows how easy it is to replace an IMC device with ADC enabled.

Options for IMC Device EtherNet/IP Configuration

Many IMC devices support multiple EtherNet/IP configuration methods, including BOOTP/DHCP
server software, device webpages, Studio 5000 Logix Designer Add-on Profiles (AOPs), device HMIs,
and IntelliCENTER software Monitor views. This flexibility lets you choose the appropriate
configuration methodology for your device and application.

BOOTP/DHCP Server
The Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP)/Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is a standalone
server that you can use to set the IP address of an IMC device. When used, the BOOTP/DHCP server
sets an IP address and other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
You can use the BOOTP/DHCP server to set the IP address of the device if one of these conditions
exists at powerup:
• The rotary switches on the device are not set to a number and the device is BOOTP/DHCP
enabled.
• The device does not have rotary switches and the device is BOOTP/DHCP enabled.
Access the BOOTP/DHCP server from the tools directory on the Studio 5000 environment
installation CD.
IMPORTANT Before you start the BOOTP/DHCP server, make sure that you have the
hardware (MAC) address for the device. The hardware address is typically
on a sticker on the side of the communication module and uses an address
in a format similar to the following:
00-00-BC-14-55-35
See the EtherNet/IP Network Configuration User Manual, publication ENET-UM006, for more
information.
Using the IMC Device Webpage for IMC Device Configuration
Some EtherNet/IP IMC devices support a device webpage. The device webpage functionality varies
by device, but can include EtherNet/IP address configuration including IP address, subnet mask,
and Default Gateway configuration.

Using the Studio 5000 Logix Designer Application for IMC Device Configuration
Each IMC device can be added to a Studio 5000 Logix Designer project. Most devices use Add-on
Profiles (AOPs), which provide advanced configuration options in the Logix Designer application.
Additionally, device status can be viewed in the Logix Designer application. AOP support varies by
IMC device. Configuration and status functionality varies by the type of AOP that the device
supports.
IntelliCENTER software Logix Designer Integration Assistant application can be used to populate the
AOP automatically in Logix Designer, which saves you valuable time during commissioning. See the
IntelliCENTER Software Integration Assistant for Logix Designer Application section.

Logix Controller Connection When connecting an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC to a Logix controller architecture, take care
when mapping the EtherNet/IP devices within the MCC to the Logix controller and EtherNet/IP
Considerations communication card. Follow the best practice guidelines around EtherNet/IP devices per Logix
controller and EtherNet/IP devices per EtherNet/IP communication card to make sure that
overloading the controller or communication card does not negatively impact your EtherNet/IP
network and Logix controller performance.
See the Advanced EtherNet/IP capacity tool embedded in the Integrated Architecture® Builder (IAB)
software to apply these guidelines when integrating your IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC into a Logix
Controller architecture. http://raiseinstall.rockwellautomation.com/pst-lite.html
PlantPAx for Process Applications

Some Process customers use the PlantPAx® Modern DCS, and communicate to devices through
Process Object Library faceplates. In these instances, verify the ‘-600PAX’ option is selected for
supported MCC devices upon order entry. This option verifies that the device wiring for inputs and
outputs aligns to the expectations for the Process Object Library faceplate and the coordinated
Add-On Instruction in Logix. MCC-based Add-On Instructions are also included in the library as a
connection starting point. Supported devices include E300 Electronic Overload Relays, PowerFlex
753/755/755T drives, and Powerflex 523/525 drives that communicate through an EtherNet/IP
network.

IntelliCENTER Software The IntelliCENTER software package is customized to your particular IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC
configuration. The software provides a customized virtual environment that allows you to access
your IMC device information over the integrated EtherNet/IP network in your MCC. The software
provides a system level dashboard, which is a graphical representation of your MCC. Individual
views of each IMC device provide monitoring and configuration functionality. This functionality lets
you monitor your IMC device real-time diagnostics, which can help you troubleshoot and/or predict
issues with your process or application. IMC device information and diagnostics can be remotely
accessed without having to shut-down, lockout, or remove the device. Intermittent problems can
be captured and analyzed by using trend and event logging capabilities. Alarm, warning, and fault
notifications can be emailed as needed. ActiveX Controls provide integration with on-machine HMI.
Integrated asset management functionality provides critical documentation for your MCC when you
need it. Embedded integration assistant tools provide seemless connection to the Logix Designer
application and FactoryTalk® EnergyMetrix™ software. This section further details the IntelliCENTER
software functionality.
System Level Dashboard

The system level dashboard, in the IntelliCENTER software, is a graphical representation of your
entire MCC lineup. The condition of each IMC device within an MCC unit is quickly observed with
status light indicators that change color to indicate ready, running, warning, fault, or off-line status
conditions. Customizable text on each MCC unit provides instant identification of the IMC device,
machine, or process. The system level dashboard lets you do the following:
• View a virtual representation of the MCC
• Determine the condition of the motor controls in the MCC
• Navigate to units by selecting them
• Rearrange the virtual representation of the MCC lineup to reflect any physical changes that
are made to your MCC
• Change how your MCC lineup is displayed to reflect a more logical or process-centric view in
place of the default physical layout-view
Figure 23 - IntelliCENTER Software System Level Dashboard Example
For further information on the system level dashboard in IntelliCENTER software, see the
IntelliCENTER Software User Manual, publication MCC-UM002.

IMC Device Monitoring and Configuration

The Monitor view, in IntelliCENTER software, displays an overview of the IMC device being
monitored. The display includes configurable analog gauges, configurable trend graphs, status of I/
O on the device, and configurable data fields. The Monitor view functionality allows you to:
• Monitor parameters from the IMC devices and Stratix switches
• Configure device parameters, including IP addresses and Subnets
- See Using the IntelliCENTER Software Monitor View for IMC Device Configuration for more
information
• Record up to 5000 data points with the trend graph and export them to a .csv file

For further information on the monitoring and configuring of IMC devices in IntelliCENTER software,
see the IntelliCENTER Software User Manual, publication MCC-UM002.
Asset Management
IntelliCENTER software includes a complete set of documentation for your MCC. Spare parts lists,
wiring diagrams, and IMC device manuals are all available in electronic form and are readily
available and easily accessible via IntelliCENTER software when they are needed most:
• Troubleshoot problems by using the exact manuals that were shipped with your MCC
• Trace out wiring and understand control circuits by using wiring diagrams
- These diagrams can be altered to reflect installation changes and saved back to the
software for future use.
- The Ethernet network information is included in table and diagram format in all one-line
drawings.
• Add new documentation (for example, procedures and engineering notes) associated with
the unit or the lineup
• Review event logs
• View and manage unit-specific spare parts list
- Add your part number scheme and alter items such as parts, and quantities

Figure 25 - IntelliCENTER Software Documentation Examples
For further information on asset management in IntelliCENTER software, see the IntelliCENTER
Software User Manual, publication MCC-UM002.
Computer and HMI Support

IntelliCENTER software can be run on a computer, laptop, or HMI and can access multiple MCC
lineups simultaneously. Devices running IntelliCENTER software can each manage their own
individual, local copies of the MCC lineup data. Alternatively, a server can manage one, unified copy
of the MCC lineup data. Each device running IntelliCENTER software can access the MCC lineup data
from that server. ActiveX objects for each IntelliCENTER software view let you access IntelliCENTER
software functionality from HMIs located wherever your MCC plant requires. The flexibility of
IntelliCENTER software lets you define how you want to manage your MCC lineup data. It also lets
you remotely access your critical MCC lineup information from the appropriate device at that
particular time.

Chapter 4
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC Expansion
Motor control centers have an expectation to remain in service for many years in a plant facility.
This expectation carries many requirements; the ability to expand to accommodate plant or
process changes and backward and forward compatibility. The IntelliCENTER® EtherNet/IP™ MCC
meets these requirements by providing a flexible and expandable solution. This chapter provides
information on the methods and abilities to expand your IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC through the
life of your plant.
Adding IntelliCENTER You can connect multiple IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC shipping splits to expand your MCC lineup.
Expansion is achieved by connecting the industrial Ethernet switch from the last section in the
EtherNet/IP Sections to an existing MCC lineup to the industrial Ethernet switch in the first section of the next shipping split. An
Existing MCC Lineup industrial Ethernet patch cable is used to connect the two switches.
This same method is used when connecting new MCC sections to the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC
in the future. Be sure to consider the EtherNet/IP addressing scheme that is used in the existing
lineup when specifying the IP Addresses and subnet masks for the new sections.
Figure 30 - Connect New MCC Sections
Industrial Ethernet Patch Cable Between
Shipping Splits
IMPORTANT See the MCC Uplink to Plant-wide Network section in Chapter 3 for
guidelines on how many industrial Ethernet switches can be connected
together in a linear or switch-level-ring topology. These guidelines
determine whether the first industrial Ethernet switch in the MCC sections
to be added connects to the last industrial Ethernet switch in the existing
MCC lineup or whether a new MCC uplink connection is used instead.
If you are using IntelliCENTER software, make sure to order a software database so the new
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC sections can be represented in IntelliCENTER software alongside the
existing MCC lineup. The software database provides access to the Elevation view, Monitor view,
and documentation for the new MCC sections as explained in the IntelliCENTER Software section in
Chapter 3.

Chapter 4 IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC Expansion
Adding IntelliCENTER IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP units can be added to an existing MCC lineup, but EtherNet/IP connectivity
and 24V DC power capacity has to be considered.
EtherNet/IP Units to an
Existing MCC Lineup EtherNet/IP connectivity considerations for industrial Ethernet switches: A new
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP plug-in unit that requires an EtherNet/IP connection can be purchased
and installed if the following conditions exist:
• Blank space factors in a section
• Spare ports on the Stratix® 5200 switch or spare vertical-wireway Ethernet adapters (if
being used)
The desired number of spare switch ports or vertical-wireway Ethernet adapters (if being used)
must be accounted for at order entry for the appropriate switch unit. Otherwise, additional units
require an additional Ethernet switch to connect to. The EtherNet/IP connection uses one of the
following methods:
• Vertical-wireway EtherNet/IP adapter
• Homerun Ethernet cable connections
• Automatic mounting EtherNet/IP connection in a CENTERLINE 2500 MCC
Regardless of where the Ethernet switch is mounted in the MCC lineup, if more units are purchased,
tell your local Allen-Bradley distributor or Rockwell Automation sales representative that the unit is
going into an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC and provide the appropriate IP address and subnet
mask information. When you notify them, the unit arrives with the IP Address and subnet mask that
is configured appropriately.
LVMCC Solution EtherNet/IP Ready Unit Provision
CENTERLINE 2100 Custom length Industrial Ethernet cable provided
CENTERLINE 2500 EtherNet/IP plug-in unit
24V DC power capacity considerations: As described in the EtherNet/IP Network and 24V DC
Connections section in Chapter 2, the plug-in sections of an IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC
incorporate an integrated 24V DC power supply. The integrated 24V DC power provides ease of use
connections for IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP plug-in units that require 24V DC power for EtherNet/IP
communication options. If the unit being added requires 24V DC power, the 24V DC connection uses
either a 24V DC power adapter in the vertical wireway of a CENTERLINE 2100 IntelliCENTER MCC or
the automatic mounting 24V DC connection in a CENTERLINE 2500 MCC. Take care to make sure
that the integrated 24V DC power has enough available capacity to support the new unit.
If you are using IntelliCENTER software, make sure to order a unit software database so the new
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC plug-in unit can be represented in IntelliCENTER software alongside
the existing MCC units. The software database provides access to the Elevation view, Monitor view,
and documentation for the new MCC unit as explained in the IntelliCENTER Software section in
Chapter 3.
