Industrial CIP Network and Monitoring System with Multiple Communication Protocols Between Allen Bradley Equipment

This research aims to validate the functionality of an industrial network in proprietary protocols such as CIP, DeviceNet, DH-485 and open protocols such as Ethernet/IP between Allen Bradley equipment. This industrial network allows monitoring and controlling through an HMI Panel View Plus 1000 screen connected in Ethernet/IP to all devices connected to the network, such as ControlLogix L61, CompacLogix L32E and MicroLogix 1100 controllers. In addition, in the same network the computer, where the programming of each controller and the design of the HMI is performed, is connected. In the graphical interface, each protocol has a window that shows the parameters that can be monitored and controlled. With the CIP protocol, there are two ControlLogix L61 controllers, one is a producer and the other a consumer. DeviceNet communication has been incorporated with the CompacLogix L32E controller, with a scanner module for DeviceNet, which allows controlling two motors, one for each device, in addition, DH485 communication, where there is a MicroLogix 1100 controller, the View 600 Panel accesses test programs of the PLC MicroLogix 1100 and the SLC 5/05 through different display screens. From the research a functional industrial network capable of communicating and linking different Allen Bradley equipment in different protocols, demonstrating the reliability of the use of networks in an industry to communicate actuators and controllers, has been obtained.
