VGA Serial port The 9-pin port is used to connect your controller to your serial equipment. The chapter called "Serial Interface" uncovers the details of serial communication and pin-out of the connector. USB connectors The back panel features two USB connectors.
Installation Hardware installation You communicate with the controller over the Ethernet network. In this part of the chapter, you'll learn about the unit itself and how and where to connect it. There are no configurable parts inside. Everything is controlled and configured by the software. Physical installation You can use the controller in several places, depending on your needs: • freely (unfixed) on your desktop with the included adhesive plastic bumpers.
Hardware Platform 10 Installation Guide Power Over Ethernet In your controller a passive power over Ethernet (PoE) scheme is implemented (see below), using the unused pairs of the LAN port for power. Power can be injected using passive POE splitter which can be ordered seperately.
Installation Connecting to the network Before connecting the controller to the network, you might want to consult your network administrator. You can employ the controller at various points in your ethernet network as shown below. Make sure the IP addressing scheme of your controller does not interfere with your existing network configuration. The chapter "IP configuration" takes the myths out of it.
Hardware Platform 10 Installation Guide To connect the CER controller to your 10/100base-T network, you can use any standard Category 5 (CAT5). A suitable cable is supplied. Attach one side to the RJ-45 socket marked "Ethernet" on the front panel of the unit and the other to your ethernet hub or switch. Take note of the serial number of your CER controller for future reference during installation. You find the number on the label on the back of the unit.
IP configuration IP configuration Your CER controller uses the common TCP/IP protocols to provide the connection to the client machine over Ethernet. Like any server or device, it needs a 'unique' IP number to be addressed. This chapter shows the basic concepts necessary to install and operate the controller, it does not intend to be a TCP/IP networking guide. Addressing basics Unique address Every device attached to a TCP/IP network is identified by a unique IP address which is a 32-bit number.
Hardware Platform 10 Installation Guide For FieldCommander controllers: Assigning an IP address on a FieldCommander The factory default IP address of the controller is: 10.0.0.1 with netmask 255.0.0.0. This address will suffice when you have a point-to-point connection with the controller or when the local network ID is "10". In this case the host ID of the controller already fits in in the range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255. In any other case you'll have to assign your controller a new IP address.
IP configuration In case you forgot the address of FieldCommander, you can force it to accept a new IP address by way of ARP and PING commands, see later this chapter. Now you should identify yourself before you can access any of the actual configuration pages. Log in with the preconfigured "admin" account: User name: Password: admin admin Note that both fields are case sensitive. Note: For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change this password. See the User's Guide for instructions.
Hardware Platform 10 Installation Guide The "System IP" page shows the following information: IP: DHCP: Bootp: ARP: Internet Protocol Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Bootstrap Protocol Address Resolution Protocol These fields control the IP settings of FieldCommander: Enable ARP+PING In situations where you don't have access to your FieldCommander unit or you have lost its address, ARP+PING provides a solution to change it from your workstation, see next chapter.
IP configuration Force new IP address using ARP+PING When FieldCommander is outside of your subnet or or you don't recall it's current address, you cannot open the configuration web pages to change the IP settings. To solve this, you can force FieldCommander to accept a new IP address by way of ARP and PING commands.
Hardware Platform 10 Installation Guide For ELS controllers: Assigning an IP address on an ELS controller The IP address on an ELS controller is defined in a configuration file and set to 10.0.0.1 by default. To change this IP address, connect to the ELS using an USB keyboard, SSH or the serial console. Then log in using username / password (default els / elsroot) and edit the file /etc/network/interfaces DHCP: auto eth* iface eth* inet dhcp Fixed IP (10.0.0.
IP configuration For EWS controllers: Assigning an IP address on an EWS controller The IP address on an EWS controller is defined in a configuration file and set to 10.0.0.1 by default. To change this IP address, connect to the ELS using an USB keyboard, SSH or the serial console. Then log in using username / password (default els / elsroot) and edit the file /etc/network/interfaces DHCP: auto eth* iface eth* inet dhcp Fixed IP (10.0.0.1): auto eth* iface eth* inet static address 10.0.0.1 gateway 127.0.0.
Hardware Platform 10 Installation Guide Testing the Ethernet connection The ping test The most basic way to test the network connection is to do a so-called 'ping' test. When the connection is working, the CER controller will answer with an 'echo' or 'pong'. Start a command prompt on your local machine and type the following command: ping Example: ping 10.0.0.1 The response will be something similar to the following: Reply from 10.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Reply from 10.0.0.
Serial interfaces Serial interface In this part of the installation manual, you will learn some basics of serial communication, the hardware involved and how the CER controller connects to your RS232 device. RS-232 The RS-232c standard The RS-232 standard (RS stands for recommended standards) was published first in 1969 by the EIA (Electronic Industries Association). It was originally drawn up to specify the connections between terminals and modems.
Hardware Platform 10 Installation Guide RS-485 (option only) The RS-485 standard The RS-485 communication protocol is the industry's most widely used bidirectional, balanced transmission line standard. It is specifically designed for industrial multi-drop systems that should be able to transmit and receive data at high rates or over long distances. RS-485 (RS stands for recommended standards) is accepted as a standard in 1983 by the EIA (Electronic Industries Association).
Serial interfaces Network topology and wiring Multi-drop RS-485 implies that there are two main wires in a segment labeled DATA+ and DATA– or simple A and B. The wiring comes as a twisted pair. To reduce electrical noise, it should be twisted as tightly as possible. It is advisable to follow the standard colors used for the communication lines: Yellow for DATA+ (A), Green for DATA– (B). For safe operation, a signal ground line should also be connected in the system.
Hardware Platform 10 Installation Guide Automatic Data Flow Control Function for RS-485 The CER controller automatically senses the direction of incoming data and switches its transmission direction accordingly. Therefore no handshaking signal (e.g. RTS signal) is necessary. This feature lets you simply and quickly build an RS-485 network with just two wires. More importantly, application software previously written for half duplex RS-232 environments can be maintained without need for modification.
