The ProLinx EtherNet/IP to Gareco Protocol for Hi-Speed Checkweigher Gateway creates a powerful connection between devices on an EtherNet/IP network and GARVEN high speed checkweighers. The module provides a single Ethernet port and up to four configurable serial ports.
The EtherNet/IP protocol driver supports the Explicit Messaging implementation of the protocol. User-configurable as both a Client and a Server, the EtherNet/IP port is a very powerful data transfer tool.
The EtherNet/IP protocol is one of the primary connectivity tools to the different Rockwell Automation platforms. The Explicit Messaging aspect of the protocol (only) has been implemented in the ProLinx units to provide the data transfer link between the ProLinx units and the Rockwell Automation hardware. (Implicit Messaging (I/O communications) is not supported). The GRCM driver permits the gateway to interface checkweighers using Garvens Remote Control (GARECO) serial protocol to Rockwell Automation EtherNet/IP devices over Ethernet. The 5201 has one GARECO serial port and the 5202 has four GARECO serial ports to provide communication access for one GARECO serial device per port.

The EtherNet/IP protocol is one of the primary connectivity tools to the different Rockwell Automation platforms. The Explicit Messaging aspect of the protocol (only) has been implemented in the ProLinx units to provide the data transfer link between the ProLinx units and the Rockwell Automation hardware. (Implicit Messaging (I/O communications) is not supported). The GRCM driver permits the module to interface Garven Checkweighers using Remote Control Instruction to the many protocols and networks available. The driver supports one to four ports that provide accessibility from one to four independent serial networks.
The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information.
The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.
The data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols. The database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devices. Commands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the database.
This area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each port.
This area contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, this area.
