 Operational Start up 

 

3.1

 

 Connections and Interfaces 

All of the connection ports are located at the rear of the  CHRocodile C (Cf. section 2.6 Connections 
and Interfaces): 

  The power supply jack, 

  The RJ45 standard connector for Ethernet communication, 

  The  multipoint  connector  interface  (9  pins)  for  trigger  input  /  output  and  RS422/RS232  serial 

communication, 

3.1.1

 

CHRocodile C Stand Alone device: 

The device can be used as a stand-alone device in order to perform selective  distance or thickness 
measurements.  In  this  condition,  only  the  power  supply  and  Ethernet  connector  or  multipoint 
connector are useful.  

Power supply 

The CHRocodile C has two pluggable screw terminal for power supply with 24V

DC 

+/-10%.  

Connect  the  set  of  power  cable  supply  associated  to  the  Power  Supply  Adapter  (100-240VAC  to 
24V

DC 

+/-10%) delivered with the CHRocodile C unit.

  

Ethernet connector 

Connect  the  isolated  RJ45  standard  connector  from  the  CHRocodile  C  unit  to  an  Ethernet  network 
(PC). Use shielded cable for the data port connection (minimum category 5 cable).  
 
The default CHRocodile C IP address is: 

192.168.170.4 

Configure the PC Ethernet port to the following address: 

192.168.170.X (X≠4) 

The CHRocodile C can also be configured to use auto-configuration of the IP-Address through 
a DHCP server. 
 

To configure the Ethernet port of your PC,

 

you must open the ‘

Network connection properties’

 menu. 

After selecting the right Ethernet card (connected to the sensor), click on ‘

network protocol (TCP/IPv4)’

 

and click ‘

Properties’.

 Set the IP address of the PC and the mask. For a standard use the mask should 

be set to 255.255.255.0.  
 
If you need to configure the sensor to another IP address (different than 192.168.170.4), you need to 
use  the  $IPCN  command  (Cf.  Appendix  1).  This  could  be  useful  in  case  of  multiple  CHRocodile  C 
connection on a single computer.
