Quick Start 

3.1 Cabling and connection 

The wiring and installation of EasyNET are very simple. 
This guide briefly illustrates how to make electrical connections and settings 
for initial access. 

 

3.2 SD Card 

EasyNET stores the data in a standard "SD card". Insert the 
SD card with the connectors face toward the silk-screen 
printed part, as shown in Fig.1. 

The connector is a push-push type: to insert the card, 
press it until a click is felt. To remove the SD card, press 
lightly; by clicking, the card will lift a bit and it can be 
withdrawn. We always recommend the use of industrial-
grade SD. 

 

 

3.3 Serial 

 If you use the serial port to read data from ModBus RTU 
devices, connect the RS485 wires as shown in Fig.2. 

 

3.4 Ethernet 

If you are using an Ethernet connection to read data from 
ModBus TCP devices, insert the jack of the Ethernet cable 
into the appropriate RJ connector of the EasyNET, as 
shown in Fig.3.
