The controller has several networking options available including Ethernet and hardwired field bus. All
parameters pertaining to networking are configured in the web interface via its Ethernet.
Ethernet
Each Ethernet connection can be configured to communicate with most popular plant equipment includ-
ing data collection servers, laptop software, and PLCs.
Ethernet ports by default are set to an IP address of 10.10.30.150 and need to be changed before being
put into service.
To gain initial access to the controller:
•
Configure a computer ’ s Ethernet port to an IP address of 10.10.30.xxx. Do not set it to
10.10.30.150 that address is assigned to the controller. 10.10.30.99 works in most cases.
•
Connect an Ethernet crossover cable from the computer to the controller.
•
Launch the computers web browser. Type the controller IP address (10.10.30.150) into its ad-
dress bar.
•
Navigate to the communications page.
•
Set the desired IP Address, IP Mask, and Gateway.
•
Cycle power on the controller and connect it to the network.
Web Interface
The controller ’ s web interface is available from any computer on that has access on the local network.
To access the web interface launch a browser and type the controller IP address into its address bar.
From the interface you will have access to the controller ’ s status, internal data files, and parameters.
The pages do not automatically refresh but selecting refresh from the browser will reload the latest infor-
mation from the controller. Data files will be standard ASCII text in CSV (comma separated variables)
format that can be opened in Microsoft Excel and other programs.
On pages with parameters there will be a submit button to apply any changes. All parameters on the
page are submitted when the button is hit. When submitted each parameter will get range checked
against allowable limits. If a parameter is outside of its range it will be limited to its minimum or maxi-
mum value. When the page is redrawn the edit fields will contain each parameters final value.
Security
The web interface has an option to add a user password for security. A password is never required to
view the web pages on the controller. It is only required to make a change to a parameter. If the con-
troller password is not set (a zero length string) the user will not be prompted to enter a password for
any changes. The controller is shipped from the factory without a password.
