IND560 PDX Installation Manual
A-B RIO
The A-B RIO option enables data exchange by bi-directional communications using
the Discrete Data Transfer or Block Transfer mode. The IND560 PDX Terminal
initiates a communication exchange with the PLC approximately 20 times per
second utilizing the Allen-Bradley Discrete Data Transfer protocol. This
communication is a high-speed, real-time message interface between the IND560
PDX Terminal and the PLC for process control. Division, integer, and floating point
values are supported.
The A-B RIO interface also supports Block Transfer mode for transmission of larger
amounts of data.
DeviceNet
DeviceNet is an RS-485 based network utilizing CAN chip technology. This network
was created for bit and byte-level devices. The network can be configured to run up
to 500Kbits per second depending on cabling and distances. Messages are limited
to 8 unfragmented bytes. The network can include up to 64 nodes including the
master, commonly called the scanner.
PROFIBUS DP
The IND560 PDX Terminal communicates to a PROFIBUS-DP master according to
DIN 19 245. The PROFIBUS option consists of a module and software that resides
in the IND560 PDX Terminal, which implements the data exchange.
EtherNet/IP
The IND560 PDX supports communications of the EtherNet/IP interface option and
the appropriate driver software.
Modbus TCP
Modbus/TCP is used to establish master-slave/client-server communication
between intelligent devices. It is an open standard network protocol, widely used in
the industrial manufacturing environment. The ModbusTCP protocol takes the
Modbus instruction set and wraps TCP/IP around it. The Modbus TCP protocol is
supported by the EtherNet/IP interface board, version 1.32 or higher.

Application Software

Installing Application Software
When a hardware key (also referred to as an iButton) enabling IND560 PDX
application software is installed or removed, a pop-up message will appear
instructing the user to perform a master reset. The master reset can be performed
with or without resetting metrologically significant EEPROM (Scale) data,
depending on the positions of switches SW2-1 and SW2-2. Both of these switches
must be set to ON in order to reset EEPROM data to its factory default values. If
