The integrated 2-port switch replaces additio-
nal external switch assemblies. To avoid long
process times, we recommend that you do not
daisy-chain more than three devices via the
internal switch. An additional external switch
assembly must be provided if several devices
are used.
Connection is via a standard Ethernet connec-
tion cable. Two special M25 cable glands with
slit rubber seals and larger grommets are
installed to allow the use of pre-terminated
Ethernet cables with connectors. The Ethernet
connectors can be inserted through these fit-
tings.
The Ethernet connection is designed in accor-
dance with IEEE 802.3. There are two I8P8C
sockets (often referred to as RJ45 sockets)
installed. Connection to the HUB or switch can
be realized with a 1:1-wire and screened patch
cable. Direct connection to a PC network card
is possible using a patch cable (1:1) or a cross-
over cable (crossed network cable). The LEDs
are fitted in the 8P8C socket. They display the
interface statuses.
Meaning of the LED:
•
green lights up:
Ethernet connection esta-
blished
•
green flashes:
Data being transferred
•
yellow off:
10 Base-T
•
yellow lights up:
100 Base-T

Ethernet connection
The connection runs in Auto negotiation
mode. The data transfer rate and full or half
duplex are defined automatically with the con-
nected switch/HUB.
4.3.1 Configuring the Ethernet connec-
tion for installation in a network
The electronics module is delivered with a
fixed IP address. Alternatively, the electronics
module can be configured with DHCP. The
Ethernet settings of the electronics module
can be configured via the menu “Settings”–
”Network”. The MAC address is displayed in
the “Information” menu.
A network connection is set up between a PC
or laptop computer with Ethernet interface
(10/100 MB/sec) and the electronics module.
In order to operate the electronics module in
a network, the network configuration must be
adapted to the existing network. If required,
you can obtain the necessary information (IP
address, subnet mask) from your local net-
work administrator. You can configure the IP
address and subnet mask assigned to you in
the menu “Settings” - “Network.
NOTICE
This instruction manual does not cover ins-
tallation and commissioning in combination
with routers or wireless routers. Responsibi-
lity for this lies with the operator.
NOTICE
•
For security reasons, access to the
device should only be granted to autho-
rized personnel.
•
Permanent, unsafe connections via the
Internet or WLAN are not permitted.
Safe connections can, for example, be
set up via a VPN-secured communica-
tion channel or an encoded WLAN con-
nection.
•
The electronics module only supports
the unencrypted communication proto-
col “http” and is designed for operation
within an Intranet (closed network),
