Ethernet LEDs ........... . . 27 MOUNTING LOCATIONS AND INSTALLATION The EGX200 is designed to be set on a flat surface or mounted to a wall, a cabinet, or other surfaces. When choosing a mounting location, consider the following points: •...
Figure 4-5, in which the red wire is connected to the positive (+) terminal and the black wire is connected to the negative (-) terminal. If needed, another power supply or cord can be used to power the EGX200, as long as it is rated for a minimum of 8 watts at 24 Vdc (±10% regulation).
The RS-485 serial ports are used to communicate with daisy-chained devices. The EGX200 has two serial ports: COM 1 is always set for RS-485 communication, and COM 2 is selectable between RS-485 and RS-232. By default, COM 2 is set for RS-485 communication.
63230-314-200/A2 Chapter 4—Installation and Wiring 8/2001 Wiring Connections 4-Wire Communication For 4-wire communication using Belden 8723 cable, connect the wires to the terminal block, as shown in Figure 4–7. If using Belden 9842 cable, see Figure 4–8. COM 1 (RS-485) COM 2 (RS-485) RS-485 4 3 2 1...
Due to the volume of RS-485 devices in the field, this table is only to be used as a guide and was tabulated based on POWERLOGIC 4-wire devices and POWERLOGIC 4-wire devices that support 2-wire devices. Table 4–2: 2-Wire Daisy Chain Maximum Distances Baud Rate Max distance for 1–8 devices...
Wiring Connections RS-232 Serial Port RS-232 is used to configure the EGX200 network parameters, and also can be used for serial communication using Modbus RTU. The EGX200 RS-232 port uses a standard DB9 male connector. The following table shows the typical serial RS-232 connector pinout.
ON (switches 1, 2, 3, 4 for COM 2 and switches 7, 8, 9, and 10 for COM 1 — switches 5 and 6 are not used). The EGX200 is shipped with all dip switches in the ON position (default). Therefore, you do not need to change the dip switches unless a different termination or biasing is required.
The 10/100BaseT Ethernet port has one set of LEDs. The top LED is yellow, is marked LK (Link), and illuminates when there is a proper Ethernet physical connection. The bottom LED is yellow and illuminates when the EGX200 is receiving data (Rx). The middle LED is green and illuminates when data is transmitted (Tx).

NOTE: After making changes and clicking Update, the EGX200 resets and the new settings go into effect. Because of this reset, you must log in to the EGX200 again by typing the IP address into the address field of your web browser and pressing Enter.
8/2001 Ethernet Port Setup via LAN After you assign the initial IP address to the EGX200 through HyperTerminal or the web browser (refer to page 8), you can go to the Communications Settings web page via a standard web browser and change the EGX200 network setup (see Figure 5–4 on page 31).

(for example, a single daisy chain with some RS-485 devices using POWERLOGIC protocol and other devices using MODBUS/JBUS protocol). • Do not assign address 1 to any POWERLOGIC protocol device on a mixed-mode daisy chain (for example, CM2000, CM100, CM200, 810 D, PIF85, PIF3, Digital Relay, and POWERLINK AS).
The User Logins are shown at the bottom of the page. This tracks users since the EGX200 was last activated. NOTE: This page shows accumulated readings since the EGX200 was last activated. If power to the EGX200 is lost, all values reset to zero.
Administrator Account The administrator account always grants the administrator full access to every web page available through the EGX200. When you log in as the administrator, you can change the administrator password. Only the administrator can access and change all passwords.

8/2001 EGX200 Embedded Web Page Options Up to 10 concurrent users can be logged into the EGX200 at any given time, using any combination of passwords. The administrator can configure the amount of time the EGX200 waits during an inactivity period before "expiring" access (see “Advanced Setup”...
This page allows administrator level users to change EGX200 timing values that normally should not be changed. Also, you can use this page to set the EGX200 on- board clock. EGX200 parameters and corresponding values are shown in Table 5–5.
If the EGX200 requires service, contact your local sales representative for help. Refer to the Technical Support Contacts provided in the shipping carton for a list of support phone numbers by country. Do not open the EGX200 enclosure; this will void the product warranty agreement.
