This is accomplished by transmitting the data from the DEV via an RS 232 (V.24) interface
to the MA 258iwhere a module converts it into the EtherNet/IP format. The data format on
the RS 232 interface corresponds to the Leuze standard data format (9600bd, 8N1 and STX,
data, CR, LF).
The integration of the EDS file in the hardware manager of the PLC is necessary to ensure
the correct function of the MA 258i.
The corresponding Leuze devices are selected using a rotary code switch on the circuit
board of the connector unit. Many additional RS 232 devices can be connected through a
universal position.

Notice!
Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the EtherNet/IP
gateway MA 258i. Detailed explanations for the listed points can be found throughout the
handbook.
3.1 Mounting
The gateway mounting plate MA 258ican be mounted in two different ways:
• using four threaded holes (M6) or
• using two M8x6 screws on the two lateral grooves.
3.2 Device arrangement and selection of the mounting location
Ideally, the MA 258ishould be mounted so that it is easily accessible near the Ident device
in order to ensure good operability, e.g., for configuring the connected device.
Detailed information can be found in chapter 6.3.1.
3.3 Electrical connection
The devices from the MA 2xxifamily feature four M12 connectors/sockets which are coded
differently depending on the interface.
The voltage supply (PWR IN) as well as the switching inputs/outputs (PWR OUT or PWR IN)
are connected there. The number and function of the switching inputs/outputs is dependent
on the connected end device.
An internal RS 232 interface is used for connecting the respective Leuze device. Another
internal RS 232 interface functions as a service interface for configuring the connected
device via a serial null modem cable.

3.3.1 Connecting the Leuze device
To connect the Leuze device to the internal RS 232 device interface, open the housing
of the MA 258iand lead the corresponding device cable (see chapter 14.6) through the
middle threaded opening.
Connect the cable to the internal device interface (X30, X31 or X32, see chapter 7.5.1).
Use rotary switch S4 (see chapter 8.2.5) to select the connected device.
Now screw the PG cable gland into the threaded opening to provide strain relief and
ensure protection class IP 65.
Attention!
Only then may the supply voltage be applied.
Upon startup of the MA 258i, the device selection switch is queried and the gateway
automatically sets itself to the Leuze device.
Connecting functional earth FE
Ensure that the functional earth (FE) is connected correctly.
Unimpaired operation is only guaranteed when the functional earth is connected properly.
All electrical disturbances (EMC couplings) are discharged via the functional earth connec-
tion.
3.3.2 Connecting the power supply and the bus cable
Ideally, use the ready-made cables listed in chapter 14.4.3 to connect the gateway to the
power supply via the PWR IN connection.
The ready-made cables listed in chapter 14.5.4 are preferred for connecting the gateway
to the fieldbus via the HOST / BUS IN connection.
If applicable, use the BUS OUT connection if you would like to construct a network with
linear topology.
3.4 Starting the device
Apply the supply voltage +18 … 30VDC (+24VDC model); the MA 258istarts up.
The MS LED displays that it is ready for operation.

3.5 MA 258ion EtherNet/IP
Commissioning on the EtherNet/IP is performed according to the following scheme:
• Address assignment (automatically via DHCP, BootP or manually)
• Configuration of the participant depends on the control software version: either by
using the generic EtherNet module or by installing the EDS file
• Transfer the data to the control
• Adapting the device parameters depends on the version of the control software: either
by configuring the config assembly or by adapting the EDS file
• Use explicit messaging services
The MA 258ican be configured in the planning tool/control using the EDS file if the control
supports this. PLC software RSLogix 5000 from Rockwell offers EDS support for EtherNet/
IP from software version 20.00 and up. Without PLC support of the EDS integration, the
settings are made via the "generic EtherNet module". In this case, the respective configu-
ration must be entered and adapted manually for each device.
After all parameters have been set in the planning tool/control, the download to the MA 258i
takes place. The set parameters are now stored on the MA 258i.
Afterwards, all MA 258iparameters should be stored via upload in the control. This aids in
retaining the parameters during device exchanges, as they a re now also stored centrally in
the control.
The EtherNet/IP baud rate is defined for the entire network in the planning tool/control.
Detailed information can be found in chapter 12.

3.5.2 Configure the participant
Configuration with the generic EtherNet module
In the RSLogix 5000 configuration tool for EtherNet/IP, software version <20.00, a so-called
"generic EtherNet module" is created for the MA 258iunder the Communication path.
Figure 3.4: Generic module

Fast commissioning / operating principle
16 MA 258iLeuze electronic
Figure 3.5: Assembly list
The input mask for the Generic module describes:
• The name of the participant (can be selected freely; e.g.MA 258i).
• The format of the I/O data (data - DINT = 32bit or data - SINT = 8bit).
• The IP address of the participant.
• The address and length of the input assembly (instance 106). *)
• The address and length of the output assembly (instance 107). *)
• Optional: The address and length of the configuration assembly (instance 118; 12 x
8bit).
*) The possible data lengths are shown in figure 3.5. You can select the suitable byte
number for your application here. Recommendations can be found in chapter "Spec-
ifications for Leuze end devices" on page 97.
Notice!
The available lengths (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 32, 64, 128, 240 bytes) of the input/output data cannot
be freely combined. The MA can only process ONE combination (connection). Please select
the suitable combination for the data length and the connected device. Detailed information
on this topic can be found in chapter 12.6.2.

Attention!
If the configuration assembly is addressed with instance 118 and length 12 in the input mask
for the generic module, all MA 258iparameters with the value 0 are occupied in the first
moment. All default parameters of the MA must be manually entered in the configuration
assembly. Changing the individual default values is possible at any time.
For the exact description of the assemblies for input/output and configuration, please refer
to chapter 12.6.2.
The query cycle of the input and output assemblies is subsequently defined in the Module
properties -> Connection path in the Request packet interval (RPI) input field.
The participant is thereby defined in offline mode; the data must subsequently be transferred
to the control.
Configuration of the participant using the EDS file
From RSLogix 5000 software version 20.00 and up, proceed as follows to create the
MA 258ias an EtherNet participant in your system:
First, load the EDS file for the device via EDS wizard into the PLC database.
Notice!
You can find the EDS file at www.leuze.com.
After loading, select the device via the device list and enter it into the HW manager via
Drag&Drop.
Open the input dialog for setting the address and additional parameters by double-click-
ing on the device symbol and make the desired entries here.
Finally, transmit the values to the device via download.

Activate online mode.
Select the EtherNet communication port.
Select the processor onto which the project is to be transferred.
Set the control to PROG.
Start the download.
Set the control to RUN.
3.5.4 Adapting the device parameters
Configure the parameters via the config assembly
The MA 258imakes available a configuration assembly that allows the entire parameter set
of the MA 258ito be saved in the control and, if necessary, to be called up.
The config assembly must include all parameters that affect the MA 258i. The config
assembly is automatically written to the connected participants in cycles that the control
manufacturer defines.
The config assembly is implemented in class 4, under instance 118. By default, all param-
eters are preset to the value 0 (zero).
Attention!
If the config assembly is not adapted, the MA 258idisplays a corresponding behavior acc.
to the parameters preset with 0.
Switch the control to offline mode.
Double-click
Controller tags to edit the configuration assembly.
The configuration assembly can be recognized by the index "C" appended to the device
name.
Parameter entry is performed as described in section "Setting MA parameters manually via
the config assembly" on page 74.
Attention!
Activation of the config assembly as described above necessitates value entry in the corre-
sponding parameter memory locations. When using the configuration assembly, the default
parameters must also be entered in the corresponding memory locations (see also "Setting
MA parameters manually via the config assembly" on page 74).
After all of the parameters relevant to the MA 258iare entered, the control is switched to
"online" and the project is downloaded again.
