NETIOM-UDP
User Manual
About This Manual
This manual provides a detailed description of the operation and features of Netiom-UDP. It
assumes that the reader is familiar with network terminology and therefore does not give any
detailed descriptions of networks or their operation.
If you are not familiar with networking then it may help to read the “Network Terminology”
document.
PC based software is provided which provides a graphical interface to the programming
features of Netiom-UDP. This manual makes reference to this software in the explanations for
the set up procedure.
It is not necessary to read the whole manual before setting up Netiom-UDP as it is unlikely
that you will use all of its features. For small networks the Quick Start section should get you
up and running so that you can create a basic link.
If you encounter problems with the Quick Start then it likely that you have some sort of
problem with network addressing. If so refer to that section. The Introduction and Operation
section may also help with problem solving.
Details of how Netiom-UDP establishes and controls the link are in the Appendices. This
information is provided for those who are interested in the internal workings of the link and for
a better understanding of its operation. It is not necessary to read or understand to this level
of detail to use the product.
Introduction
Netiom-UDP is a network enabled Input / Output module. It is intended to work in conjuction
with a PC or other network enabled devices. UDP packets sent from the PC can control the
16 outputs and send data via the serial port. Netiom-UDP will send the status of all inputs and
outputs and if data is received on the serial port this will be sent in addition to the I/O status.
Netiom-UDP consists of:
16 Digital Inputs
16 Digital Outputs
1 Serial Port
1 Ethernet Port
Three LEDs are provided which show the status of the ethernet connection. A link is provided
to switch between active mode and programming mode.
Netiom-UDP will work on both local networks and wide area networks such as the Internet.
To run Netiom-UDP you will need:
A 12 Volt d.c. power supply.
A null modem serial lead (for programming).
An ethernet cable to connect to the network.
