BIS Z-GW-001-TCP
Subnet16™ TCP/IP Ethernet Gateway
INSTALLATION GUIDE
This document provides instructions and information designed
to assist users in the hardware setup of the Subnet16™ TCP/IP
Ethernet Gateway. For configuration details see the Gateway
Series Reference Manual.
The BIS Z-GW-001-TCP is designed to connect RFID
applications to a TCP/IP Ethernet network. The Gateway is an
Ethernet node which connects to a Host (PC or PLC) through
an Ethernet-compatible network cable.
It supports Subnet16™ Multidrop bus architecture, a
subnetwork of up to sixteen processor stations, through an
RS485 interface connection.
The Ethernet port is also used for establishing a connection with
a computer running Windows for the purpose of configuring the
Gateway through the Dashboard™ Configuration Tool Utility
program.

LED INDICATORS
green
POWER
The POWER LED is ON whenever
power is applied to the Gateway.
amber
Subnet16™
BUS
The BUS LED will flash ON and OFF to
indicate that data is being transmitted
between the Gateway and one or more
RFID Processors on the Subnet16™
network.
amber
ETHERNET
The ETHERNET LED will flash ON and
OFF to indicate that data is being
transmitted between the host and the
Gateway.
red
ERROR
The Error LED is solid red when a
Gateway
configuration
error
has
occurred, i.e. an invalid or unrecognized
command. This LED will be cleared
when a valid command is sent.
ETHERNET
LINK
The AMBER LED on the left is the
10/100 Indicator LED, which will turn
ON whenever an Ethernet link is
established and will remain ON for the
duration of the connection.
ETHERNET
TRAFFIC
The GREEN LED on the right is the
Ethernet Data LED,which will flash ON
and OFF when Ethernet traffic is
detected by the Gateway (regardless of
origin and destination).

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
The following components are required for a complete Subnet16™
RFID system:
•
One Subnet16™ TCP/IP Ethernet Gateway Interface Module
•
One host PC with an Ethernet network connection
•
One to 16 RFID Processors (
BIS M-41x, BIS M-62x or BIS U-
62x- Series Processors - RS485 models)
•
Adequate length cabling, connectors and terminators
•
A suitable power supply capable of providing sufficient power
to the Gateway and its RFID Processors via Subnet16™
network cabling
•
Balluff RFID data carrier or labels: BIS M-1xx or BIS U-1xx
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
•
Do not route cables near unshielded cables or near wiring carrying
high voltage or high current. Cross cables at perpendicular
intersections and avoid routing cables near motors and solenoids.
•
Review the power requirements of your RFID network and provide
a suitable power supply.
•
Avoid mounting the Processor near sources of EMI (electro-
magnetic interference) or near devices that generate high ESD
(electro-static discharge) levels. Always use adequate ESD
prevention measures to dissipate potentially high voltages.
•
If electrical interference is encountered (as indicated by a
significant reduction in read/write performance), relocate the
Processor to an area free from potential sources of interference.
•
Perform a test phase by constructing a small scale, independent
network that includes only the essential devices required to test
your RFID application (use Balluff approved Subnet16™ cables
and accessories).
INSTALLATION
The numbered steps in the following procedure are also indicated in
the Subnet16™ network example layout shown in the figure.
1. Preliminary Notes: Read this document in its entirety and note
the
Installation Guidelines above.
2. Mounting: Mount the Gateway to your chosen location using two
M5 (#10) screws, lock washers and nuts. The Gateway may be
mounted in any orientation, but should be aligned in such a
manner that the LED indicators can be seen during operation.
3. Gateway Connection: Attach one end of a 5-pin, male-to-male,
M12, ThinNet drop cable (
P/N: BCC0ET4) to the 5-pin, female,
M12 connector on the Gateway. Connect the other end of this 5-
pin, male-to-male, M12, ThinNet drop cable to the 5-pin, female,
M12 connector on a
ThinNet to ThinNet Drop-T Connector (as
per your network and RFID application requirements).
4. Trunk Wiring: Attach one end of a male-to-female trunk cable to
each mating connector on the Drop-T Connector. Continue
connecting trunk cables and Drop-T connectors as needed.
Note: trunk length should not exceed 300 m for ThickNet and 20 m
for ThinNet.
5. Termination Resistors: For ThinNet Networks: Connect a
Terminating Resistor (
P/N: BCC09MR, male) to the first and last
Drop-T Connector on the trunk line.
