LED Operation
LED1 flashes to indicate the processor board is running.
The LED starts flashing about 10 seconds after power is applied and a network connection is present. Without an ethernet network connection the LED starts
to flash after about 40 seconds.
Cellular Modem Connection
Install the cellular modem onto the board with the cellular modem's U.FL connector as shown. Only install/remove a cellular modem when the power to the
device is disconnected.
4.1. DIP Switch Settings for the Base Board
After making changes to the DIP switch settings, cycle power to the device.
Table 1:DIP switches for the base board
Settings
Disable Ethernet Port
Disable LCD Display
Not used
Bypass XML
Bypass XML
Turn on to have the XML file ignored at boot time. This is useful for ignoring a corrupt or questionable XML configuration file. After the device is running, a new
XML file can be loaded using the DXM configuration tool.
Turn on to stop the processor from executing defined configuration. This is useful if the loaded configuration is using all the processing time and not allowing
DXM Configuration Tool operations.
The factory default position is OFF.
Disable Ethernet Port
Set to on to power down the Ethernet interface. Disabling the unused Ethernet port reduces power consumption.
The factory default position is OFF.
Disable LCD Display
Set to on to disable the LCD. This DIP switch should be on when the LCD display board is not connected.
The factory default position is OFF.
4.2. Ethernet
Before applying power to the DXM1200, verify the Ethernet cable is connected.
The number of times the processor attempts to connect to the Ethernet network is configured in the DXM Configuration Software (Settings >
Network Ethernet Connection Acquisition). The default setting is two retries one minute after the device boots up another retry two minutes
later.
The Ethernet connection supports the DXM Configuration Software, Modbus/TCP, and EtherNet/IP. ScriptBasic also has access to Ethernet for
custom programming. Use the software or LCD menu system to configure the characteristics of the Ethernet connection, including the IP address.
Any parameters not changeable from the menu system are configurable from the configuration software.
Ethernet parameter changes entered through the LCD menu override the XML configuration parameters. To return to using the network settings
in the XML configuration file, remove the Ethernet parameters defined by the LCD menu using the System Config > Ethernet > Reset menu.
4.3. USB
A micro USB port is available inside the DXM1200.
The micro USB port can be used to configure the DXM, but a micro USB cable is not provided with the device.
