ETHERNET PORT
14.1 ILLUSTRATION
Ethernet port can be used to monitor controller and realize network client connection.
NOTE:
After changing network parameters of controller (e.g. IP address, subnet mask etc.), controller shall be
powered on again to make new settings effective.
14.2 NETWORK CLIENT CONNECTION
As network client, controller can be monitored by TCP Modbus protocol via network port.
Steps are as below:
—
Set IP address and sub network mask of the controller. IP address must be in the same network
segment with monitoring equipment (e.g. PC), but is different from it; e.g.: if monitoring equipment
IP address is 192.168.0.16, controller IP can be 192.168.0.18, sub network mask is 255.255.255.0.
—
Connect the controller. It can be connected to the monitoring equipment directly using network
cable or via switchboard.
—
The communication between the controller and monitoring equipment is carried out by TCP ModBus
protocol.
NOTE:
In this connection mode controller parameters can be set. SmartGen provides testing software for this
connection mode. Communication protocol can be obtained from the SmartGen service.

14.3.1
CONTROLLER CONNECT WITH PC WITH A LINE OF CABLE
For this connection crossover cable must be used.
Crossover cable: EIA/TIA 568A standard on one end and EIA/TIA 568B on the other end.
NOTE
: If PC network port has Auto MDI/MDIX function, parallel cable can also be used.
14.3.2
CONTROLLER AND PC CONNECTION VIA SWITCHBOARD (OR ROUTER)
Parallel lines must be used.
Parallel cable: EIA/TIA 568A standard on both ends or EIA/TIA 568B standard on both ends.
NOTE:
If switchboard (or router) network port has Auto MDI/MDIX function, crossover cable can also be used.
