4.6 STEP 4 – Setting the communication mode.
Communication with the RS485-Ethernet interface is possible in various modes. The selection is made by
choosing the appropriate profile in the web browser of the interface and configuring the appropriate parameters.
The profile selection must be made on the basis of LAN connection between interfaces and power supply units
taking part in the communication.
4.6.1 LAN/WAN network communication.
- LAN network communication:
Schematic diagram of LAN communication is shown in the figure below.
Fig.8. The schematic diagram of LAN communication system.
The topology of the network is based on an Ethernet switch (e.g. switch, router) connected to another PSU
segments (connected in the RS485 bus) via the RS485-Ethernet interface. Each interface has a static IP address.
Communication between the PC and the final PSU is requires the IP address of the interface, the address of the
PSU in the RS485 network and the number of the port responsible for the communication.
If this topology has been chosen, proceed to chapter “TCP Sockets profile settings” in order to configure
the interface”.
