CENTERLINE 2100 Motor Control Center with IntelliCENTER Technology Using an EtherNet/IP Network
IntelliCENTER Motor Control Center with EtherNet/IP Network Overview
The IntelliCENTER® EtherNet/IP MCC couples the reliability of the CENTERLINE 2100 MCC with robust
EtherNet/IP network, Intelligent Motor Control (IMC) devices, and intuitive IntelliCENTER software to deliver an
effective and integrated motor control solution.
The IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is an assembly of one or more enclosed vertical sections that are powered by a
common power bus. Each section can contain multiple intelligent motor control units. The MCC assembly has two
types of unit construction:
•Plug-in unit construction:
Units that can be inserted and removed from an MCC section. Plug-in units typically have a lower current
capacity than frame-mounted units.
•Frame-mount unit construction:
Units that are built with frame-mounted construction are permanently mounted to an MCC section and cannot
be inserted or removed. Frame-mounted units typically have a higher current capacity than plug-in units.
The MCC section can have two types of built-in wireways where the wiring connections are made inside the MCC
enclosure. The built-in wireways typically contain the following components, which could vary based on customer
requests. See the MCC one-line drawing included with your MCC for actual MCC setup:
•Top and bottom horizontal wireways can contain the following:
–Motor cable routings
–Stratix 5700 industrial Ethernet switch
–Industrial Ethernet cable routings
–24V DC power supply wiring
•Vertical wireways are typically seen in sections with plug-in unit construction and can contain the following:
–Wireway adapters for the EtherNet/IP network and 24V DC power that provide easy connections for IMC
devices
–Industrial Ethernet cable routings
•Motor cable routings
–24V DC power supply wiring
The MCC section can have two different industrial Ethernet switch mounting locations:
•Top or bottom horizontal wireway-mounted Stratix 5700 switches
–One Stratix 5700 switch per switch group
–A switch group is composed of all sections, and Ethernet devices within those sections that are connected to a
given Stratix 5700 switch
–The standard switch group cannot exceed 9 sections or 8 intelligent device connections in that switch group for
horizontal wireway-mounted switches
•Top or bottom unit-mounted Stratix 5700 switches
–One or two Stratix 5700 switches per switch group
–A switch group is composed of all sections, and Ethernet devices within those sections that are connected to a
given Stratix 5700 switch unit
–The standard switch group cannot exceed 9 sections or 24 intelligent device connections in that switch group
for unit-mounted switches

The EtherNet/IP network is an industrial version of an Ethernet network. IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCCs use the
EtherNet/IP network to connect IMC devices in your application. The EtherNet/IP network provides excellent
reliability and a robust network solution for your entire factory from the control room to the MCC. The integrated
EtherNet/IP network within your IntelliCENTER MCC is preconfigured, tested, and validated at the factory before
shipment. The EtherNet/IP network integrates with current IT networks and lets you collect data to determine plant
production, energy efficiency, and other key performance indicators and metrics.
The EtherNet/IP network can accommodate a vast number of nodes and unlike other fieldbus networks has no specific
node maximum. The limit varies based on the number of connections the EtherNet/IP scanner can make within the
controller application, and the network topology that is implemented. The number of connections that are used by each
node varies. To estimate the number of connections an Ethernet network uses, see the Advanced EtherNet/IP capacity
tool embedded in the Integrated Architecture® Builder (IAB) software
http://raiseinstall.rockwellautomation.com/pst-lite.html.
See the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP Reference Manual, publication MCC-RM001, for detailed information on the
EtherNet/IP network and the IntelliCENTER MCC system.
IMPORTANT You must choose one industrial Ethernet switch mounting methodology per MCC lineup. For example, if you choose to have
your industrial Ethernet switch mounted in the horizontal wireway, all of the sections within that MCC lineup must have the
industrial Ethernet switch mounted in the same horizontal wireway.

IntelliCENTER MCC with EtherNet/IP System Architecture and Connections
The IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC system architecture is composed of a physical infrastructure that enables the
appropriate network layout and topology for MCC applications. The physical infrastructure consists of industrial
Ethernet switches, industrial Ethernet cables, integrated 24V DC power, and IMC device connections. This section
focuses on these topics and describes how your IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is shipped from the factory.
Industrial Ethernet Switch
The IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is designed with Stratix 5700 Layer 2 managed switches. The Stratix 5700
switch is an industrial Ethernet switch that provides a range of advanced features. With the managed switch, the
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC connects to the plant-wide EtherNet/IP network providing excellent reliability and
a robust connection. The benefits of the Stratix 5700 managed switch are explained in detail in the IntelliCENTER
EtherNet/IP Reference Manual, publication MCC-RM001.
The Stratix 5700 switches are factory-configured with customer defined IP addresses and subnet masks that are provided
at order entry. All network connections are tested and validated during the system level test at the factory, before
shipping.
MCC sections that use a Stratix 5700 switch to connect to IMC devices can come configured with 6-port, 10-port,
20-port, or 30-port (combination of 10-port and 20-port switches) switch options. The Stratix switch can be wireway-
mounted or unit-mounted. Unit-mounted switches can be 0.5 or 1.0 space factor depending on the chosen port capacity.
The type of Stratix switch that is installed in the IntelliCENTER MCC depends on the quantity and type of intelligent
units that are installed and customer preference. See Tabl e 2 for the Stratix switch types and locations available for the
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC.
Each Stratix 5700 switch uses copper Ethernet ports for IMC device-to-switch connections and either two copper
Ethernet ports or two combination Ethernet ports for switch-to-switch connections (varies by Stratix 5700 model).
Combination ports support either fiber-optic or copper Ethernet connections. The standard design uses copper
connections for switch-to-switch connections. See the Industrial Ethernet Cable section for more information on when
to consider using fiber for switch-to-switch connections.

Horizontal Wireway-mounted Stratix 5700 Switch
A typical top horizontal wireway Stratix 5700 switch mounting example is shown in Figure 4. The switch can also be
mounted in the bottom horizontal wireway if desired. Switches that are mounted in the horizontal wireway must be
located opposite the horizontal ground bus. Switches must also be mounted in the same side (top or bottom horizontal
wireway) across one MCC lineup.
Figure 4 - Stratix 5700 Switch Top Horizontal Wireway Mounting Example with Adapter Ethernet Connections
When bottom-mounted wireway switches are installed, access to the bolts used to attach the MCC sections to the skid
can be limited as shown in Figure 5. Removal of the switch bracket from the bottom wireway can be necessary for
adequate access to the bolts. The switch bracket can be removed by unscrewing the two bolts on the left side and a third
bolt above the switch attached to the bottom baffle.
Figure 5 - Stratix 5700 Switch Bottom Horizontal Wireway Mounting Example
IMPORTANT When a switch is placed in the top horizontal wireway and optional section heaters are included in the top horizontal wireway
as well, the switch can impact the heating system performance by increasing the ambient temperature near the thermostat.

Unit-mounted Stratix 5700 Switch
Unit-mounted switches must be in the unit location below the top horizontal wireway or above the bottom horizontal
wireway to maintain easy Ethernet cable routing to nearby IMC devices. A typical top unit Stratix 5700 switch mounting
example is shown in Figure 6.

Industrial Ethernet Cable
Due to the high potential for electrical interference in an MCC, the proper industrial Ethernet communication cable is
critical to provide excellent reliability and a robust EtherNet/IP network. We recommend against the use of standard
copper Ethernet cable. To provide the noise immunity necessary in a motor control center, we recommend that you use
only exclusive 600V, UL Listed, shielded, power limited tray cable (PLTC) rated, Category 5e industrial Ethernet cable.
The industrial Ethernet cable can be routed near high-voltage power cables without impacting the performance or
reliability of the network. This cable design is a critical attribute of Ethernet network cabling within an MCC given the
close proximity of high-voltage devices and their associated power cables.
TIP The combination 30-port switch unit is shown. Not all switch units require two switches. Spare (unconnected) switch ports can
be chosen to support future device connections. See Table 2 for more information.

With this 600V UL Listed industrial Ethernet cable, the EtherNet/IP network and intelligent devices in the
IntelliCENTER MCCs have been tested to the most rigorous standards for electrical noise immunity. These test results
let Rockwell Automation deliver a robust, noise-immune EtherNet/IP architecture within the MCC:
•Surge - Simulates lightening strike
–± 2 KV, 40 A surge that is repeatedly applied to the network cable
–IEC 61000-4-5
•Fast Transient Burst - Simulates industrial noise
–± 1 KV high voltage burst applied to the network cable
–IEC 61000-4-4
•Conducted Immunity - Simulates radio frequency interference
–150 kHz…80 MHz interference that is applied to the network cable
–IEC 61000-4-6
•Electrostatic Discharge Immunity - Simulates static discharge
–± 8 KV ESD event at 12 locations on the MCC and network cable
–IEC 61000-4-2
Figure 7 - Industrial Ethernet Cable
Tabl e 3 shows the three speeds that the Category 5e industrial Ethernet cable supports. The higher speed data rates
transfer more data in a shorter period, which can be vital for applications that require short response times.
The standard Ethernet cable for switch-to-unit connections is the 600V UL Listed copper Ethernet cable. However,
fiber-optic Ethernet cable is sometimes required for switch-to-switch Ethernet connections in certain Ethernet
topologies. For further details on IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC topologies and cable details, see the
IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP Reference Manual, publication MCC-RM001.
The 600V UL Listed industrial Ethernet cable is also commonly used to connect the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP
MCC to the plant-wide Ethernet network. For further details on IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC plant network
connections, see the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP Reference Manual, publication MCC-RM001.

24V DC Power Supply
24V DC power is integrated throughout the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC to provide power for the Stratix 5700
switch and various IMC devices. The integrated 24V DC power within the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC can be
supplied by 24V DC power supply units. The 24V DC power supply units are available in these common configurations:
•Circuit breaker and control transformer
•Fusible disconnect and control transformer
•No disconnecting means, requires a separate 110…120V source
•Redundant configurations are also available with one of the following options:
–A Two-branch redundant unit can be included that accepts two separate power supply connections on the
input side and outputs one source to 24V DC circuit. When one power supply fails, the other takes over
automatically reducing device and network downtime. The separate two-branch unit allows the failed power
supply to be replaced without impacting the network. The two-branch unit can be fed by the following
options:
Two Rockwell-supplied 24V DC power supply units
Two external 24VDC power inputs provided by the customer
One Rockwell-supplied 24V DC power supply unit and one external power input provided by the customer
–A second standard power-supply unit can be added to an MCC section that already contains a standard power
supply. In this instance, the power supply in the lower unit location is wired to the 24V DC power within the
MCC. In the event of a failure, the 24V DC wire can be manually shortened to connect to the other unit in the
section
–A second 8 A power supply can be added in the same unit. The second power supply is wired with blocking
diodes to work in concert with the initial power supply. If a failure occurs, power supplies can only be replaced
during MCC network downtimes since both power supplies exist behind the same unit disconnect.
The number of 24V DC power supplies required throughout the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC is dependent on
the number of Stratix 5700 switch and IMC devices in the MCC lineup that require 24V DC power. The integrated
MCC 24V DC power consists of multiple branches, each designed to support a maximum of 4 A of current draw. Each
branch is protected by a 1-pole mini circuit breaker. Each branch is connected to either a Rockwell Automation Ethernet
power supply unit that can support two branches or the two-branch redundant power unit if used. To make sure this
specification is not exceeded, the 24V DC power supply current draw for the MCC configuration is calculated at the
time of order entry. The calculations are based on the devices that require 24V DC in each MCC section. The result of
the calculations determines how many sections can be supported on one branch of the power supply. The 24V DC power
can be spliced between multiple sections. Figure 8 shows an example on how 24V DC power is configured.
