Model 430IP
A.16 Model 430IP Power Supply Programmer
1
With no front panel controls except the power On/Off switch, the Model
430IP is designed for fully functional control solely through a web
browser
2,3
using TCP/IP via the rear panel Ethernet connection.
Operation is very similar to that of the Model 430 Remote Control
Application as described in section A.15 on page 182.
Control can be established through a locally connected computer or
remotely through a network or even the Internet; the human/instrument
interface is a web browser depiction of the Model 430.
Connect the Model 430IP Programmer RJ-45 Ethernet port either directly
to a host computer or through a computer network on which the host
computer resides:
1. For a host computer on a network, connect a standard Ethernet
cable between the Model 430 and the network.
2. For a direct hardwired connection between the Model 430 and a
host computer, use a “null-modem” or “crossover” Ethernet cable
connected from the Model 430 to the host computer
Once connected, plug in and power up the Model 430.
1. Requires Model 430 version 1.60 or later firmware.
2. The browser must be Java-Applet capable. If the browser displays a
message indicating the required Java plug-in needs to be installed,
please follow the screen instructions to download and install the
plug-in on the browser of host computer.
3. Third party remote software, such as National Instruments LabView,
can also be used.
