Safety 13/80
2.4 Safety instructions to avoid personal injury
To ensure your own personal safety and to avoid personal injury, you
necessarily must read, understand and follow the following safety
instructions as well as all the other safety messages in this manual about
danger causing personal injury, before you install and operate your device.
2.4.1 Electrical shock hazard (NANL-C500-RE)
Devices: NANL-C500-RE
The danger of a lethal electrical shock caused by parts with more than 50V
may occur if you open the PC cabinet to install the NANL-C500-RE card.
·HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE is present inside of the PC or of the
connecting device, into which the NANL-C500-RE card is integrated.
Strictly obey to all safety rules provided by the device’s manufacturer in
the documentation!
·First disconnect the power plug of the PC or of the connecting device,
before you open the cabinet.
·Make sure, that the power supply is off at the PC or at the connecting
device.
·Open the PC cabinet and install or remove the NANL-C500-RE card
only after disconnecting power.
An electrical shock is the result of a current flowing through the human
body. The resulting effect depends on the intensity and duration of the
current and on its path through the body. Currents in the range of
approximately ½ mA can cause effects in persons with good health, and
indirectly cause injuries resulting from startle responses. Higher currents
can cause more direct effects, such as burns, muscle spasms, or
ventricular fibrillation.
In dry conditions permanent voltages up to approximately 42.4 V peak or
60 V DC are not considered as dangerous if the contact area is equivalent
to the size of a human hand.

Reference safety [S2]
2.5.6 Assignment of wrong IP addresses, malfunction (NANL-B500G-RE)
The analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE must not be inserted via a switch or
hub directly into a corporate network with other devices, as long as the
analyzer device is operating in DHCP server operation mode. Otherwise, it
may lead to wrong assignment of IP addresses and malfunction.
The analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE works by default as an external
DHCP server in the DHCP server operation mode and independently
assigns IP addresses to other devices. This may happen also to devices
which are not concerned by the netANALYZER measurements.
In order to connect the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE to any network
ensure that DHCP server operation mode is disabled.

3 Description
You can use the analyzer card NANL-C500-RE or the analyzer device
NANL-B500G-RE to record the performance and the functions of individual
systems or system components of bus systems, which conform to the
Ethernet II IEEE 802.3 specification.
The analyzer card NANL-C500-RE or NANL-B500G-RE described in this
user manual, act as a passive Ethernet analyzer in Real-Time Ethernet
systems. The NANL-C500-RE card or the NANL-B500G-RE device analyze
the data traffic in a communication stretch and protocol the arriving
Ethernet frames.
For process data aquisition and for the clear presentation of process values
for netANALYZER the software extension netANALYZER Scope serves. The
frame data are captured on the hard disk and can be used for further
analysis in Wireshark.

3.1 Recording and analyzing data traffic
For devices with two Ethernet channels the analyzer card NANL-C500-RE
and the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE capture the Ethernet frames and
adds the time stamps to them. Therefore the analyzer card or the analyzer
device must be connected over two patch cables from one of the TAP to the
Ethernet device connections.
Figure1: Typical application (Use Case 2) - The communication between a device and its
connection partners in a network should be analyzed
In the "Interactive operating mode" the data capturing must be configured
and started via the PC software. This way the analyzer card NANL-C500-
RE or the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE and the PC software capture
the data packets of the communication line, transmit the data packets and
save them on the hard disk. On the NANL-B500G-RE analyzer device, data
recording is alternatively performed in the "Autonomous mode" with start
and stop via the REC button without netANALYZER Scope software.
On the analyzer card NANL-C500-RE or at the analyzer device NANL-
B500G-RE two TAP are integrated, in consequence two communication
channels are operational, without a PC must be connected permanently.

Description 20/80
In combination with the driver and the firmware the analyzer card NANL-
C500-RE or the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE store the data via DMA
on the hard disk of the PC. Using the PC software and its export function
the data can be transformed to the open WinPcap format (*.pcap), which
can be analyzed e. g. with Wireshark.
Figure3: Typical analyzer application with the capturing of the Ethernet data transfer and IO
events
Additionally, events of up to four digital inputs can be captured. At the four
digital inputs the input signals produce a special Ethernet frame in the
analyzer card NANL-C500-RE or the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE.
This frame is not on the line, but is created for evaluation purposes.
Note:
For the GPIO events in Wireshark a pseudo Ethernet frame is
shown (MAC Address 00:02: A2: FF: FF: FF, Ether Type = 0x88ff),
this is not a true Ethernet frame, but is inserted as wildcard in the
firmware. Then this frame is decoded as GPIO event e. g. with
Wireshark.
