In order to assign real-time capability to a standard Ethernet port of an IPC controller, the Beckhoff real-time driver has to be installed on this port under Windows.
The actual list of all available drivers can be found on Zebra 'Support and Download' web page. Drivers are available for 'JPOS', 'OPOS', 'USB CDC' or 'Windows Management Instrumentation'. Note: The drivers can only be used in combination with BCS3678 ex when connected to base station or direct Bluetooth connection to other devices.

This can be done in several ways. One option is described here.
In the System Manager call up the TwinCAT overview of the local network interfaces via Options → Show Real Time Ethernet Compatible Devices.
This have to be called up by the Menü “TwinCAT” within the TwinCAT 3 environment:
The following dialog appears:
Interfaces listed under “Compatible devices” can be assigned a driver via the “Install” button. A driver should only be installed on compatible devices.
A Windows warning regarding the unsigned driver can be ignored.
Alternatively an EtherCAT-device can be inserted first of all as described in chapter Offline configuration creation, section “Creating the EtherCAT device” in order to view the compatible ethernet ports via its EtherCAT properties (tab “Adapter”, button “Compatible Devices…”):
TwinCAT 3: the properties of the EtherCAT device can be opened by double click on “Device .. (EtherCAT)” within the Solution Explorer under “I/O”:
After the installation the driver appears activated in the Windows overview for the network interface (Windows Start → System Properties → Network)
A correct setting of the driver could be:

In most cases an Ethernet port that is configured as an EtherCAT device will not transport general IP packets. For this reason and in cases where an EL6601 or similar devices are used it is useful to specify a fixed IP address for this port via the “Internet Protocol TCP/IP” driver setting and to disable DHCP. In this way the delay associated with the DHCP client for the Ethernet port assigning itself a default IP address in the absence of a DHCP server is avoided. A suitable address space is 192.168.x.x, for example. |
Field devices are the backbone of the process industry. Measurement probes detect fill levels, pressure or flow rates, for example, whilst actuators control processes according to certain parameters. The problem is that field devices are used in great numbers across large areas. Depending on the manufacturer, they communicate with the higher-level automation technology in very different ways.
Universal communication...
One widespread way in which various field devices are diagnosed and parametrized with a single application is field device tool (FDT) technology. This technology is developed by the FDT Group, an independent non-profit alliance of international companies founded under Belgian company law (AISBL) in 2005. Using universal device drivers known as device type managers (DTM), together with suitable frame applications for operation, FDT standardizes the communication and configuration interfaces between all kinds of field devices and host systems.
Available on the go
This forms the basis for a common environment for accessing functions, with each field device now able to be fully configured, controlled and maintained via a standard interface. In the next stage of development, the FDT Group aims to provide these features for mobile devices as well, so that users can retrieve and display settings, measurement curves or the status of the field devices on a tablet PC, for example. As this is particularly relevant for work in hazardous areas, BARTEC is now involved with the FDT Group as a new member of a new working group.

Cooperation project 2: The HART modem
In another cooperation project, BARTEC developed a “translator” for HART-compatible field devices (highway addressable remote transducer). The “HART modem” was developed in cooperation with major automation manufacturers. By connecting it with the expansion port of the Agile X tablet PC, users can wirelessly read or adjust field devices, such as a valve, independently of the control system. Thanks to its intrinsic safety, users now have an integrated and efficient solution that is also suitable for mixed operation. This makes it possible to conduct consecutive flow rate measurements when loading fuel and in a treatment plant outside the explosive area, meaning even greater efficiency!
