2. ACM 9
ACM 9 Industrial Ethernet communication module supports Industrial Ethernet connectivity. EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and
Profinet are implemented (only one at a time). ACM 9 has 2 Industrial Ethernet ports, 4 serial ports dedicated to ARE i9
reader family, 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs, both linked to their respective reader port. The auxiliary port provides
power as well as a serial system interface. ACM 9 supports 32 byte cyclic input data and 32 byte cyclic output data.

Grounding ACM 9 is important for proper
functionality.
Grounding can be achieved in two ways:
1. Grounding via DIN hat rail clamp
The metal DIN hat rail clamp is connected
to internal ground of ACM 9. Grounding
DIN hat rail in machine will connect
internal ground to machine ground.
2. Use grounding pin on upper left side
(viewed from back).

2.2 Firmware
ACM 9 uses 32 Byte cyclic input data and 32 Byte cyclic output data.
2.2.1 Industrial Ethernet description files
Profinet:
File GSDML-V2.35-AEGID-ACM9-20210310.xml contains Profinet description for ACM 9.
EtherCAT:
File ACM9_ECS_V2_1_0_10.xml contains EtherCAT description for ACM 9.
EtherNet/IP:
File ACM9_EIS_V3_1_0_7_2.eds contains EtherNet/IP description for ACM 9.
File names subject to change. Dowload latest files: www.aegid.de/en/documentation/acm9.php
2.2.2 Output data telegram from Industrial Ethernet master
The telegram starts with a change counter byte. This byte has to be changed, typically incremented, for every new
telegram. The second byte of the telegram is the serial interface port of the RFID reader. It can be ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’ or ‘4’ (0x31, 0x32,
0x33, 0x34). Starting from byte 3 the instruction text (instruction and parameters) for the reader is put in the following
bytes. The supported commands are documented in section ARE i9. The telegram must be closed with a carriage return
(0x0D). The complete telegram can be up to 32 byte long.
EXAMPLE:
The output data of the bus master to read a transponder code using ARE i9 on serial port 2 looks this way:
Hex:
01
32
47
54
0D
00

ASCII:
‘2’
‘G’

2.2.3 Input data telegram to Industrial Ethernet master
Above output telegram has been sent to ACM 9. ACM 9 sends the command to the appropriate ARE i9, in this case to the
ARE i9 hooked up to serial interface port 2. ARE i9 reads the transponder code (UID of transponder) and sends it to ACM 9.
ACM 9 puts the transponder UID into the input data telegram frame for Industrial Ethernet master.
The telegram starts with a change counter byte. This byte is changed, typically incremented, for every new telegram ACM 9
puts on the bus. The second byte of the telegram is the serial interface port of the RFID reader. It can be ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’ or ‘4’
(0x31, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34). Starting from byte 3 the answer from ARE i9 (in this case the transponder UID) is put in the
following bytes. The telegram closes with a carriage return (0x0D). The complete telegram can be up to 32 byte long.
EXAMPLE:
The input data telegram for the Industrial Ethernet master is set by ACM 9 for example this way (UID = 1234567812345678):
Hex:
1F
32
31
