The following are configuration page examples for PLC
emulation mode. The PLC emulation driver allows the
ESTeem to identify the destination address in the PLC
message block and change the ESTeem destination
address to match. This PLC emulation allows the
ESTeem 195M/H/C to support multiple repeaters in a
network (Figure 4).
If repeaters are used with PLC
emulation, the route and append table will also need
configured.
Master Configuration
1. The current address will be set to the last octet of
the IP address. The Main Office address will be set to
180. This should be entered from the discovery utility
but verify and continue.
2. Set the operating frequency to 456.500 MHz.
3. Set the destination to any remote site address (address 181
used for example).
4. Set the data interface to the RS-232 DATA port (Port 3).
5. Set the operating mode to PLC Emulation. This is the PLC
Master location. Select PLC Master, Allen Bradley DF1, Half
Duplex with BCC error checking.
6. Once all the above software commands are adjusted to
their correct parameters, press the
Write Config
button to
send the changes to the 195C, 195M or 195H.
To set up the Master Site to use repeaters as shown in Figure
4, move to the Route/Append tab in the configuration utility.
Press the
Edit Tables
button and Figure 15 will be displayed.
Technical Tip
:
The unit address of the ESTeem 195C,
195M or 195H is the last octet of the IP address. This
single address is used when configuring the destination
and routing. Example
–
Main Address IP =
172.16.10.180. Unit address = 180.

Technical Tip
:
The address of the ESTeem 195C
and 195M
must
match
the connected PLC when
operating with a
serial
interface
in PLC emulation
mode.
