10/100Mbps Ethernet Interface
This is a very fast and flexible interface.
Standard 10/100 Mbps Interface (Fast Ethernet), can be connected to any available
Ethernet network.
„Best Pratices“ from the IT (Firewall) have to be obeyed as this interface can also be
connected to large networks.
This interface enables communication via the TCP/IP protocol to communicate with the
thermostat via the above mentioned protocols (PP, LAI, Namur). Temperature profiles
can be recorded by using the Huber Spysoftware. The port for this communication is
8101. Access can be granted to the internal webserver.
Application:
The IP address of the Web.G@te has to be set correctly before using this interface.
Please contact you network administrator.
Furthermore, the release has to be granted to be able to communicate with the
thermostat. The additional safety feature is to prevent the accidental connection or
execution of wrong temperature control settings with the thermostat.
The following limitations are possible (Web.G@te -> Ethernet/USB act.):
-
deactivated
-
always active (PLC)
-
12h active
-
10min active
If e.g „10min active“ is selected then the connection has to be established with the
controller within 10min of this confirmation. If this is not done then the connection
establishment will be rejected.
How to test the functionality:
The user does often want to integrate this communication interface into his own API´s,
driver units or similar. We recommend an easy operational script language like e.g
Python is used.
Installation USB driver
A driver must be installed to be able to use the USB interface.
System requirements: Windows XP, Windows 7, Vista.
Start the set-up file Setup.exe. It can be downloaded from the Huber website. Follow
the instructions.
Connect the USB cable of the Web.G@te to the computer when requested (temperature
control unit has to be switched on and connected to the Web.G@te).
The Web.G@te should now be identified.
Note: A Warning might occur stating that the driver is not signed. Please confirm this.
This connection test can be carried out with a browser of your choice
(IE/Firefox/Opera/Safari).
Enter the following URL into the address field : usb1.webgate.net. The homepage of the
temperature control unit is shown.
