Introduction
AMETEK Factory Automation markets, engineers, and manufactures
sensors and controls for demanding and harsh industrial environments.
Products include GEMCO® linear and rotary sensors. Our sensors are
absolute and never require homing or calibrating in the event of a power
loss and are built in the USA to meet global application needs.
The ReadyLink™ EtherNet/IP LDT with RapidRecall™ is our newest
linear displacement transducer (LDT) being developed with an EtherNet/
IP network interface. The Network LDT provides maximum flexibility
for installation and ease of use in demanding, high-performance,
networked industrial applications. EtherNet/IP™ is an Industrial
Ethernet implementation of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP),
managed by the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA). EtherNet/
IP™ was introduced in 2001 and today is the most developed, proven
and complete industrial Ethernet network solution available for
manufacturing automation. EtherNet/IP™ systems require only a single
point network connection for both configuration and control, thus
simplifying installation and wiring.
Our linear displacement transducer line utilizes advanced, proven
Magnetostrictive technology to provide highly precise and absolute
non-contact position feedback down to 1 micron resolution. We
package these sensors to survive in the most demanding and hostile
environments. The position of the magnet on the sensing element is
precisely determined by a time of flight method. The LDT converts this
position value where it is transmitted to the customer controller via the
Ethernet Network.
The Network LDT supports Star, Line and Device Level Ring (DLR)
topology and supports static IP address setting or DHCP (Dynamic
Host Control Protocol). DLR provides device level network rerouting in
the event of a break in the ring. The static IP address can be assigned
via a PC, or the last octet can be set manually via three rotary DIP
switches. There are five diagnostic LEDs located on the cover next
to the connectors that indicate the status of the LDT and Network
communication.
The AMETEK ReadyLink™ EtherNet/IP™ LDT is a smart device; it has
a RapidRecall™ Configuration Module to help aid in the configuration
of the LDT. This module can be used to help configure the static IP
address of the LDT as well as other functions. The module has three
rotary DIP switches that allow the user to configure how the IP address
will be assigned. The RapidRecall™ module can also store all user
configurations. Once the LDT has been configured, these settings can
be uploaded to the module.
Data is communicated over the Ethernet Network using two types of
messaging:
• I/O Messaging (Position, Velocity and Status Bits)
• Explicit Messages (Parameters & Configuration)
I/O Messaging is used for time critical data such as position, velocity
and status bits. Explicit messages are used for configuration data
such as position scaling, resolution and count direction, among other
parameters. The Network LDT module conforms to the Encoder device
profile device type 22h.
The Network LDT is available in two different package styles; the 953N
is our Rod Style package that is suitable for installation into hydraulic
cylinders, and our 957N Brik Low Profile Style package that incorporates
the same electronics but is housed in an aluminum style extrusion.
The Ethernet Network LDT has three connectors. The incoming power is
supplied via a 4-pin M12-A style connector. The Network communication
will be through either of the two 4-pin M12-D coded connectors. There
are diagnostic LED’s located on the cover next to the connectors that
will indicate the health of the LDT and its Network communication status.
The Network LDT is totally configurable and can be set for your exact
needs. Parameters such as counting direction, position and velocity
format, resolution, zero position, velocity upper and lower end limits as
well as position end limits are all programmable.
Position Update
The position of the magnet along the active measuring range is precisely
determined by a time of flight method. The Network LDT converts this
position value where it is transmitted to the host controller via the
Network. All displacement outputs are absolute and do not lose their
position after loss of power.
LDT Position update frequencies are available up to 1,000 measurements
per second (Length dependant).
ReadyLink™ Internal Update Time
Stroke Length - Inches Update Time
≤6.0" 1ms
6.1" - 50.0" 1.5ms
50.1" - 100.0" 2ms
100.1" - 200.0" 3ms
200.1" - 250.0" 3.5ms
250.1" - 300.0" 4ms
The network Requested Packet Interval (RPI) is configured in the host
controller and is typically between 2mSec to 20mSec, and must be equal
to or greater than the ReadyLink™ LDT’s Internal Update Time.
Counting Direction & Resolution
The Network LDT can be configured for increasing or decreasing
position, or velocity counts, along with the desired resolution. These
parameters will all be configured during the LDT Network configuration.
Direction counting may be configured so that the position value either
increases or decreases as the position magnet moves away from the
LDT's head (electronics). The default zero position will be closest to
the head of the LDT, but can be user configured at time of set up to be
located anywhere along the active stroke range (Area between Null &
Dead Bands). The resolution of the positional output is selectable and
can be set for English (Imperial) or metric units.

Chapter 2: Wiring
The Ethernet Network LDT has three connectors.
The incoming power is supplied via a 4-pin M12-A
style connector. The Network communication will
be through either of the two 4-pin M12-D coded
connectors. The LDT supports Star, Line and
Device Level Ring (DLR) topology.
Note: Any unused connectors should be covered
using our 04-521619 connector end cap.
2.1 Wiring Connections
Once the LDT has been installed, wiring connections
can be made. There are two groups of connections
you will need to make. They are as follows:
• Power Supply Connections (including ground
and shield)
• LDT Input/output Network Connections
Power Supply/Ground Connections
The incoming power cable is a 4-Pin, M12-A, Euro Style cordset. It has
4 conductors of 22ga, with a shield; these cables are available in either
Straight or Right Angle versions. To reduce electrical noise, the shield
must be properly used. When grounding the LDT, a single earth ground
should be connected to the power supply common. The LDT power
supply common should be connected to the power supply common (-)
terminal. On our Straight version cable the shield is tied to the cable's
coupling nut, and should not be connected to the controller's ground
(See figure 4-2 Grounding Connections). However, if you are using one
of our 949-044LXX Right Angle version cables, the cables shield is not
tied to the cable's coupling nut, in this case it is recommended to tie
the shield to the power supply common. Any unused wires should be
insulated and tied back.
On corsets where the shield is tied to the coupling nut, the LDT’s shield
should NOT be tied to the earth ground at the power supply (See figure
4-2 Grounding Connections).
In order for the Network LDT to operate properly, the LDT’s external
power supply must provide a voltage between +7 to +30 VDC. Each
LDT will draw approximately 3 watts of power. The power supply must
be rated at 150mA minimum. The power supply should provide less
than 1% ripple and 10% regulations. (The power supply should be
dedicated to the LDT to prevent noise from external loads from affecting
the position readings.) It is preferable that the cable between the LDT
and the power supply be one continuous run. If you are using a junction
box, it is highly recommended that the splice junction box be free of
AC and/or DC transient-producing lines. The shield should pass straight
thru this enclosure and not tied to ground.
Network Connections
The Network communication will be two 4-pin M12-D coded connectors.
Our Network LDT supports Star, Line & DLR topology.
These connections will require M12-D cables; these are available in
either Straight or Right Angle versions, as well as M12-D on one end
and RJ45 on the other. All cables have 4 conductors of 24ga, with an
aluminum/polyester/aluminum foil with an overall braid of tinned copper
shield. These cables meet the Requirements of TIA/EIA568-C, Category
5e Cable for 10 and 100 Base-T Ethernet. Always observe proper
grounding techniques such as single point grounding and isolating high
voltage (i.e. 120/240 VAC) from low voltage cables, whenever possible.
WARNING: Do not route the ReadyLink™
Network LDT cables near high voltage sources.

2.2 Grounding Connections
There is a ¼” terminal ground lug provided on the LDT’s head / cover
assembly to help ensure a good ground. This lug should be tied to the
chassis of the machine. This ground is internally isolated from the LDT's
internal power supply.
Always observe proper grounding techniques such as single point
grounding and isolating high voltage (i.e. 120/240 VAC) from low voltage
(7-30 VDC cables).

Network Cable lengths
Per ODVA specifications, it is recommended that the maximum total cable run length be 100 meters or less. Typical cable lengths are 1 and 5 meters,
cables greater than 10 meters are available; however, proper care must be taken during installation. It is recommended that one uninterrupted piece
of cable is always used. Any extension to the existing cabling should be mounted in a junction box free of any other cabling, the cable should be a
twisted shielded pair with a braided shield. The shield should pass straight thru this enclosure and not tied to ground.
Note: The shield of the power supply cable is tied to the connector's coupling nut.

Chapter 3 Quick Start
Overview
The AMETEK ReadyLink™ EtherNet/IP™ LDT with RapidRecall™ is a
smart device; it has a RapidRecall™ Configuration Module to help aid in
configuration of the LDT. This module is located on the head assembly
of the LDT, next to the connectors. The RapidRecall™ module can be
used to help configure the static IP address of the LDT and store all
user defined configurations. In the module there are three rotary DIP
switches that will allow the user to configure how the IP address will
be assigned. Once the LDT has been configured, these settings can
be uploaded to the module. One of the key benefits to uploading the
configuration data to the RapidRecall™ module is that, if anything was
to ever go wrong with the LDT, the RapidRecall™ module with the entire
user programmed settings could be removed from the original unit and
installed on the replacement unit. With a simple command from the DIP
switches the user configuration settings can be downloaded from the
Rapid Recall™ Module to the new LDT.
This module is held in place with two 6-32 x ½" screws. The network
configuration module connects to the LDT thru a Micro USB-B connector.
3.1 - Programming the IP Address
This chapter will describe how to program the IP address, the subnet
mask and the gateway for the Ethernet/IP™ LDT.
There are four ways to program the IP address in the Network LDT.
• Through our IPconfig Network utility program (Switches must be
set to 255)
• Through BootP/DHCP server (Switches must be set to 255)
• Through a web browser (Switches must be set to 255)
• Through the rotary DIP switches on the RapidRecall™
Configuration module
These modes are determined by how the DIP switches are set in the
RapidRecall™ Configuration Module. The default out of the box settings
for these switches will be 255 DHCP enabled.
3.2 - IP Addressing Modes
Static IP Address Selection – Via Rotary DIP Switches
DIP Switch Position Function IPconfig, BOOTP/DHCP,
Web page Programmability
DHCP Static IP Address
000 DHCP No Enabled Disabled
001 to 254 Static IP address lower octet value; upper 3 octets
from previous setup stored in LDT non-volatile
memory
No Disabled Enabled
255 Entire Address assigned in LDT non-volatile memory.
If DHCP is enabled the DHCP server will assign an
IP address on start-up. If DHCP is disabled the
previous IP address will be retained in memory.
Yes Programmable Programmable
Note: Changing the Node address via the DIP switches, will only take effect on power up. Changing the IP address with power applied to the LDT
will generate a minor fault.
When the DIP switches are set to 000 – 254, you cannot set the IP address using the IPconfig, BootP or the internal web browser.

3.3 - Default Settings
The ReadyLink™ Ethernet/IP™ LDT out of the box default settings will
be DHCP Enabled and the switches will be set to 255.
The default baud rate and duplex mode are Auto/Auto. Auto/Auto,
supports autonegotiation on both the baud rate (100/10) and the duplex
mode (full/half).
3.4 - Using IPconfig Utility Program
An IPconfig utility as well as the EDS files are available on our website
www.ametekfactoryautomation.com. They are located in the Linear
Feedback category under the ReadyLink Network LDT product. Select
Literature to access these downloads. The IPconfig utility program
allows the user to detect any AMETEK Network LDT on the network,
even if the unit’s configuration is outside the host’s subnet.
Step 1: Connect Network LDT to your network.
Cable connections must be made to the Network LDT for both
communications and power and the switches in the Rapid Recall™
module must be set to 255.
Step 2: Access Network LDT
1. Make sure the configuration DIP switches are set to 255.
2. Turn Power on to the LDT.
3. Open the utility program and press scan. The IP configuration for
the AMETEK Network LDT will be displayed. The device can be
identified by the MAC ID which is found on the product's label.
Step 3: Program new IP address
1. Double click on the IP address you wish to change.
2. Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask and gateway. Verify that
the DHCP button is set to Off.
3. Select “Set”.
4. The new IP address will be assigned and the screen will default
back to the home page. To see the new IP address press “Scan”.
(Initialized to “out of box” condition)

3.5 - Using BOOTP/DHCP Utility Program
Studio 5000 BOOTP/DHCP application can be used to assign an IP
address to the Network LDT via DHCP. Cable connections must be
made to the Network LDT for both communications and power. DHCP
must be enabled and the switches in the Rapid Recall™ module must
be set to 255.
Note: The Network LDT’s factory out of the box state has the DIP
switches set to 255 and the DHCP enabled.
Attention: DHCP is not recommended for a plant floor environment due to
the risk involved when an IP address changes.
Perform the following steps:
Step 1: Connect LDT to network with power off. Open the BOOTP/DHCP
Server Software in the Windows browser with the Network LDT
in an unpowered state. A module configuration screen will
open to configure or modify the EtherNet/IP address. In the
Request History Pane you will see the time a message came
from an EtherNet module, data type and MAC Addresses of the
devices on the network. No IP addresses are shown for the
devices with the DHCP enabled.
Step 2: Power up the Network LDT, an incoming request for an IP
address that the server has received from the LDT will appear in
the Request History Pane. The LDT can be identified by its MAC
address that appears in the pane. Click on the MAC address to
highlight that row and then click on the “Add to Relation List”
button, which will open the New Entry dialog box.
Enter the desired IP address and click OK.
The desired IP address and its MAC address will appear in the Relation
List Pane.

Step 3: A new incoming request for an IP address will appear in the
Request History Pane. If it does not, cycle power to the LDT and new
incoming request for an IP address will appear. This time the pane will
include the new IP address along with the time, data type, and MAC
address. At this point the IP address is only temporary since the DHCP is
still enabled.
Step 4: Click on the IP address in the Relations List Pane to highlight
that row, then click the Disable BOOTP/DHCP button to make the new
IP address permanent. The Status bar will display the (Disable DHCP)
Command Successful.
Step 5: Exit the BOOTP/DHCP Server.

3.6 - Using a Web Browser
In order to use the internal webpage you must know the LDT’s IP
address. The default out of the box setting is 192.168.1.1 with the DIP
switches set to 255 DHCP enabled. If power is applied to the Network
LDT in this mode your Network will assign the next available IP address.
If this happens you will need to use the IPconfig or BootP utility tools to
select the appropriate IP address and to disable the DHCP mode.
Step 1: Connect the Network LDT to your network
Cable connections must be made to the Network LDT for both
communications and power. DHCP must be disabled using the IPconfig
or BootP utilities, and the switches in the Rapid Recall™ module must
be set to 255.
Step 2: Access Network LDT Configuration Module
1. With power off, remove the RapidRecall™ Configuration module.
Make sure the configuration switches are set to 255. Reassemble
unit.
2. Turn Power On to the LDT.
3. Open a web browser and type in the IP address for the unit in the address
field. Press enter and the network LDT webpage will be displayed.
Step 3: Program a New IP address (Alternate way to program the IP
address)
1. Under the Configuration tab, select Ethernet Config.
a. Enter the Desired IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
b. Select “Save”
c. Cycle power to the unit to allow the new IP address to be set.
2. See Chapter 6 – Web Page Layout for LDT configurations.
3.7 - DIP Switch Setting 000 DHCP
The 000 DHCP DIP switch setting is a back door that can be used to
force the Network LDT into the DHCP mode. This would typically only
be used if you do not know the units IP address or cannot access the
Network LDT using the IPconfig or BootP utilities.
Step 1: Set the DIP switches to 000.
Step 2: Apply power to the Network LDT – The network will search and
assign the next available IP address.
Step 3: Once the new IP address has been assigned, un-power the unit
and remove the RapidRecall™ Configuration Module and set the
DIP switches to 255.
Step 4: Reapply power. The network will now assign the next available
IP address. From here you should be able to follow the IPconfig
or BootP instructions.
3.8 - DIP Switch Setting 001-254
The ReadyLink™ Ethernet/IP™ LDT out of the box default settings
will be DHCP Enabled and the switches will be set to 255), and the IP
address will be set to 192.168.1.1.
If the RapidRecall™ Configuration Module is set to 001-254 before
power is applied to the unit, the Static IP address lower octet value will
be set to the value of these three switches; the upper 3 octets will be set
for what was previous stored in LDT non-volatile memory. For example,
the out of box setting is 192.168.1.1. If the DIP switch settings were
set to 005 then the IP address would be set to 192.168.1.5. However, if
network communication was established to the LDT in question prior to
the switches being set to 005, then the LDT’s IP address will default to
whatever the host network assigned.
The key to the 001 to 254 DIP switch settings are that they can be used
to set the lower octet of the LDT’s IP address. The units default IP
address was set to 192.168.1.1 at time of shipment; however by using
one of the IP configuration utilities the IP address can be set to any
desired address. Once the new IP address is established the DIP
switched can be used to set the lower octet. A good example may
be that you are interested in using the DIP switches to set the units IP
address but your network is not 192.168.1.XXX. In this case simply set
the DIP switches to 255 and use one of the IP configuration utilities to
assign the IP address, once set disable DHCP. Power down the network
LDT and change the DIP switch settings to any value between 1 and
254. Reassembly the unit and reapply power. On power up the upper 3
octets will be what you just set using the IP address utility and the lower
octet will be equal to the three DIP switches.

Chapter 4 – Network Programming for
Ethernet/IP™
Description
Data is communicated over Ethernet using two types of messaging:
• I/O Messaging (Position & Velocity)
• Explicit Messages (Parameters & Configuration)
I/O Messaging is used for time critical data such as position & velocity
status. Explicit messages are used for configuration data such as
Positions scaling, resolution and count direction. The Network LDT
module will conform to the Encoder device profile which is device
type 22h.
4.1 I/O data Transfer
The Network LDT is classified as an Input only device. The following
Assembly object instances are supported: (See Chapter 3 for compete
listing off all Instances & Attributes).
# Instance
1 Position
2 Position, Warning and Alarm Flags
3 Position and Velocity
100 Position, Velocity and Status
110 Configuration
180 Diagnostic
199 Input Only Heartbeat
Instance Only Heartbeat Assembly (Instance 199)
This assembly instance is used for the heartbeat connection point for
Input Only connections. The data size is 0.
4.2 Explicit Messages:
Configuration data is transferred to the Network LDT through explicit
messages. The Network LDT uses the Position Sensing Class 0x23
(hex). These values are listed in the following tables.
4.2.1 Assembly Object (Class ID 04h)

The Position & Velocity values are each 4 bytes long, with byte 0 =
Least Significant byte and byte 3 = Most Significant Byte. These are
Hexadecimal values.
Ametek_LDT:I1.Data[0] =LSB byte
Ametek_LDT:I1.Data[1] = Byte 1
Ametek_LDT:I1.Data[2] = Byte 2
Ametek_LDT.I1.Data[3]=MSB byte
These can easily be converted in your ladder Logic to display in a
decimal format.
Transmitting position & velocity data in the 4 byte format is typically the
fastest and most efficient way. However; if this is causing a problem in
your programming you can use Assembly Instance 101. Instance 101 is
12 bytes in length. In Instance 101 positional and velocity data looks like
a decimal value in the correct order.
Another alternative way of viewing position and velocity data without
doing the copy and divide ladder logic as shown above. Assembly
Instance 1 or Assembly Instance 3 are 4 bytes and 8 bytes in length
respectively. Because they are divisible by 4, you can choose for them
to be displayed as a DINT type instead of a SINT type. This creates 1
variable for the position and 1 variable for the velocity.
The user selects either Assembly Instance 1 or Assembly Instance 3 in
the Module Definition and under Size then select DINT instead of SINT.
This is shown in the screen shot below.

Chapter 5 Configuration Data
Network LDT Memory
The Network LDT has three memory locations. These are called Factory,
User and RAM. Both the Factory and User memories are stored in
E2 memory. The Factory settings can be used to reset the LDT back
to factory defaults. All configuration settings can be made from our
Webpage or PLC and “Loaded” into RAM for testing purposes. Note:
These values will not be written to USER memory until the “Save”
command is issued. If they are not saved to USER they will be lost on
power down. On power-up the configuration settings in USER will be
transferred to RAM.
The LDT’s RapidRecall™ Configuration Module is a smart device that
can store all user configurations. Once the LDT has been configured
these setting can be uploaded to the module by setting the DIP switches
to “606”. Refer to Chapter 8 for all setting and features of the Rapidrecall™
Configuration Module, or a Save(02h) command can be sent to store these
values in the RapidRecall™ Module.
One of the key benefits to uploading the configuration data to the
RapidRecall™ Configuration Module is that, if anything was to ever go
wrong with the LDT, the module could be removed from the original unit
and installed on the new unit. (In order to upload the configuration data
the DIP switches would need to be set to “616”). Or a Reset(2) command
can be sent to restore these values from the RapidRecall Module
The non-volatile attribute values in the Position Sensor and Advanced
Parameters objects are stored in the E2 (EEPROM) or flash memory.
The E2 memory is divided into 2 sections:
USER Configuration Store – The USER Configuration Store holds the
attribute values that have been set in the field by the customer.
FACTORY Configuration Store – The FACTORY Configuration Store
holds the attribute values that have been set during manufacturing.
These are the “factory default” values for the attributes.
The following diagram illustrates the flow of attribute values between the
application and E2.

Chapter 6 Web Server
To help aid in configuring the units IP address and user settings, there
is an internal web server in the Network LDT. These web pages can be
used to monitor and configure the Network LDT. The intent of the web
pages are to provide nearly the same functionality that exists through
the CIP network interface.
6.1Main Web Page
The Main web page is loaded when the module’s IP address is specified
by the users’ web browser. The Main page provides an introduction to
the module, its capabilities and the modules identification information.
Navigation through the site is done with the tabbed menu or the menu
links on the home page. The Configuration menu has multiple pages
and a tabbed submenu will be displayed on those pages.
Displayed on the Home
page:
• General product and
company introduction
• Menu to all other web
pages
• Position & Status
• Configuration
• Diagnostics
• Module Part Number
• Module Serial Number
6.2 Position Status Page
The Position Status web page displays the current position and status
data of the module.
Displayed on the
Position Status page:
• Position Value
• Velocity Value
• Direction of Travel
• Status and Alarm Flag
Status
6.3 Position Sensor Configuration Page
The Position Sensor Configuration web page provides an interface to
view and set the position sensor parameters.
Displayed and settable via the Position Sensor Configuration page:
• Direction Counting
Toggle
• Position Format
• Position Measuring
Increment
• Position Filter Type
• Position Low Limit
• Position High Limit
• Velocity Format
• Velocity Filter Type
• Minimum Velocity
Setpoint
• Maximum Velocity
Setpoint
• Fault Output Type
• Sync Mode
The page will also provide
the ability to set the Preset
Value to calibrate the
position to the current
location.
The Load button will load the pending values into the working
parameters in memory; no save to non-volatile will be done.
The Save button will load the pending values into the working
parameters in memory and write the resulting configuration to the User
configuration storage.
The Factory Save button will load the pending values into the working
parameters in memory and write the resulting configuration to the
Factory configuration storage. – Note: This button appears on the
screen but is non functional unless the appropriate password has been
entered under the Diagnostics Tab. The Factory Save values should
never be altered unless instructed to do so by the factory.
The RapidRecall™ Reset button will take the current values stored in
the RapidRecall Module and save them to the LDTs RAM and User
Configuration Store. This function acts the same as if the DIP switches
on the RapidRecall™ Module were set to “616”
The RapidRecall™ Save button will take the current values stored in the
LDTs RAM and write them to the RapidRecall™ Module. This function
acts the same as if the DIP switches on the RapidRecall Module were
set to “606”
6.4 Ethernet Configuration Web Page
The Ethernet Configuration web page provides the ability to view and
set the Ethernet configuration parameters.
Displayed and settable via the Ethernet Configuration web page:
