PXG600E System Integration
This section provides additional details on integrating the PXG600E with
common network clients.
Accessing the PXG600E from Eaton Software Products
The PXG600E is compatible with the following Eaton software products that
can be connected to the Ethernet LAN.
PowerNet Software
The PXG600E can be accessed from PowerNet software over the Ethernet
LAN. PowerNet software can monitor and configure devices that are
connected to the INCOM port of the PXG600E. PowerNet software will NOT
be able to access data from Modbus RTU or QCPort devices.
To support this connection, the PXG600E supports the Encapsulated INCOM
over Ethernet protocol. Messages from PowerNet are routed through to the
destination device on the INCOM network. The full data set of the INCOM
device is available to the PowerNet software.
To configure the PowerNet software so it connects to the PXG600E, select an
EMINT from the software device list to represent the PXG600E when
configuring the PowerNet device server.
Power Xpert Software
The PXG600E can be accessed from the Power Xpert Software. More details
on configuring the Power Xpert Software can be found in the
Power Xpert
Software User Guide
.
CH Studio
The PXG600E can be accessed by CH Studio V2.2 software to configure
devices on the QCPort network.
Connecting to Modbus TCP Clients
The PXG600E can be accessed from software and devices that operate as
Modbus TCP Clients. The PXG600E acts as a Modbus server to these clients.
This means that it will respond to data requests from the client but will not
initiate data transfers. The following PXG600E configuration is required to
connect to a Modbus TCP client:
•
Access control:
enabled with the Modbus TCP client listed as a trusted
host (recommended)
OR
Access control disabled (less secure).
•
Modbus TCP:
enabled.
•
Modbus Writes:
enabled if INCOM slave action writes are used.
Otherwise disabled.
Accessing Data from Downstream INCOM, QCPort
and Modbus RTU Devices
The PXG600E maps data from the devices on the INCOM, COM1 and COM2
port (QCPort or Modbus RTU) to registers that can be accessed by requests
from the Modbus TCP client.
