The fixed-panel Hycal devices (Hycal 1000, Hycal 100, Hycal 200) may be fitted with a protocol converter to facilitate rapid integration with an existing PLC network. The most common converters are Profinet for Siemens PLCs and EtherNet/IP for Allen-Bradley (others are available on request). The converter is supplied pre-configured, complete with the necessary configuration file (GSD for TIA Portal, EDS for RSLinx), and register map. Documentation is available to assist with the setup process, which is usually complete within a few minutes. After establishing the comms link the PLC can completely control the Hycal measurement, optimising measurement integrity & probe life, and eliminating operator error.
The most common protocol options of EtherNet/IP and Profinet are displayed in the tables below.
