Section 8: Communication

Comms Configuration

Once the recorder has been set up for Comms the

TrendServer

software and Communi-

cations Server requires configuring to allow the recorder to connect with your PC. To set up
Comms in the recorder go to

“Comms Services Menu” on page 75.

For Comms wiring

details in the recorder see

“Communications Connections” on page 28.

Follow these stages for successful communications.

• Read about the different Comms interfaces used by the recorders.

See “Standard

Communication Interfaces” on page 205.

• Set up your PC / Network connections.

See “Hardware Installation” on page 207.

• Configure

the

TrendServer

software

See “Comms and Trend Manager Suite”

on page 211.

• Comms Server software set up.

See “Communications Server” on page 216.

Standard Communication Interfaces

Before we start here is some information about the comms interfaces that are used in the
setup of the

TrendServer

software and Communications Server.

Rear Ethernet Communication port.

The rear of the device is fitted with an Ethernet 10/100 port, which supports:

• Modbus TCP/IP.

See “Modbus” on page 206.

• OPC Server connectivity to third party software. OPC Server connection must be enabled

by selecting the OPC option in

“Credits” on page 102.

Setup the OPC Server informa-

tion required

“OPC Interface - Open Process Control” on page 232

• Web browser.

See “Web Browser” on page 233.

Rear RS485 port

For the

eZtrend QXe

recorder a Comms option card is available with RS485 Modbus port

and USB device connections. The card can be purchased and fitted at any time. The RS485
connection uses a 3-way connector. The card also has connection for 24V DC Transmitter
Power Supply, see

“Transmitter Power Supply Card” on page 24.

For the

Minitrend QX

and the

Multitrend SX

recorders

RS 485: 2 wire (half duplex) to support

Modbus RTU is standard.

See “RS485 Minitrend QX and Multitrend SX recorders.” on

page 29.
