9.2.3 Ethernet-interface
9.2.3.1 ComCenter
ComCenter (Communication Center) software is the communication link between the
transmitter, the Ethernet-network and the existing EE31 configuration-, data logging- and
visualization software.
The ComCenter provides the following functions:
Discovery tool:
ComCenter supports the detection and administration (Web-Interface) of all transmitters
in the network.
Creation of virtual interfaces (Com-Ports):
ComCenter allows to assign each and every detected IP-address (e.g. transmitter) with a
corresponding virtual interface (Com-Port). With MS Windows
®
not more than 255 virtual
Com-Ports are possible!
Communication with existing EE31 configuration-, data logging and visualization software:
The created virtual Com-Ports can be addressed by the existing EE31 configuration-, data
logging and visualization software, as long as the ComCenter software is running (active).
9.2.3.2 Installation of the ComCenter
- Insert Ethernet CD-Rom into your
CD-ROM drive
- Choose "Install ComCenter Ethernet
Software"
- Run the setup.exe
- Choose language and follow the
installation wizard
- Complete installation
9.2.3.3 Ethernet Connection
- Connect the transmitter to the Ethernet-network using the provided Harting RJ
Industrial IP67 Push Pull Connector and a standardized Ethernet Cat5-cable.
- Hook up the Ethernet module with the supply voltage (8...48VDC / 12...35VAC), Power
LED glowing, LNK - LED glowing.
- Choose mode of IP-address assignment (DHCP /STATIC) by jumper setting at the
Ethernet module.
DHCP:
- Change jumper setting to DHCP.
- Press reset-button for 3-5 seconds (LNK - LED temporary off).
- Ethernet module changes to DHCP - mode and requests an IP - address from the
DHCP server.
- Transmitter will be detected as soon as ComCenter is active.
STATIC:
- Default jumper setting is STATIC.
- Factory settings for the transmitters are the static IP - address 192.168.0.64 with the
subnet-mask 255.255.255.0
- Networking settings of the used personal computer might need to be changed in order
to use same subnet-mask (255.255.255.0) as the connected transmitter.
