Description

2 Description
The purpose of this document is to provide an example of interfacing the
WAGO 750-841 Ethernet Controller with a Mettler Toledo JAGXTREME
terminal using the Ethernet/IP protocol. In this example, the WAGO 750-841
communicates to the JAGXTREME via unscheduled messaging (also known
as explicit messaging). The JAGXTREME responds to unscheduled messages originated by the WAGO 750-841, allowing the 750-841 to configure
and read the JAGXTREMEs batch process data.

3 Reference Material
- Mettler Toledo JAGXTREME w/ ControlNet Interface Card
- WAGO 750-841 Ethernet Controller
- CoDeSys (WAGO-IO-PRO CAA) Version 2.3.2.7 Programming Software

NOTE: This procedure assumes that the WAGO 750-841 contains a valid IP
address and it is installed on a working network, along with the JAGXTREME
and the Programming Terminal. If necessary, refer to WAGOs Application

This project will read the Scale Weight Object of the JAGXTREME terminal.
The Gross Weight will be reported back, and can be viewed in the byte array
Data. The Scale Weight Object was read, because the values 0x64, 0x01,
and 0x01 were assigned to the CLASS, INST (Instance), and ATTR (Attribute) inputs of the EML_UCMM_REQ function block. The function block was
instructed to read this object, because the SRV (Service) input was set to
EML_GET_ATTR. By setting the SRV input to EML_SET_ATTR, the function block would be instructed to write to an object. Other data objects within
the JAGXTREME can be read from or written to by providing the appropriate
Class, Instance, and Attribute to the EML_UCMM_REQ function block.
For a complete listing of objects accessible via Ethernet/IP, reference the Mettler Toledo CIP Interface Technical Manual.
