The SPX5 can also be programmed using a simple scripting language called LUA, allowing data conversions as well as execute event based actions upon communication exceptions or data value based.
Page 4: Hardware Installation
Figure 2. SPX5 Dimensions. Power Supply Connector The SPX5 can be powered with a 9 to 48 Volts DC power supply and the maximum power consumption is of 5Watts. The power supply connector is located on the top side of the gateway and the terminals are shown of Figure 3.
Page 5: Serial Ports Connectors
In Figure 5, the operation of the switches is shown. The recommended normal operation of the SPX5 is having all switches OFF, however when the SPX5 is the first or last device on the network, the termination must be switched to ON.
Page 6: Ethernet
Figure 5. Serial Port Configuration Switches. Ethernet The SPX5 has a 10/100/1000 Mb/s capable Ethernet Port. This port supports all type of network communications like Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP. This port is also used for configuring the SPX5 using our WEB based configuration tool.

(200 mSec) indicates firmware corruption and technical support must be contacted. Reset Push Button In figure 8, the reset push button is shown. This button is to reset the SPX5 security and to restore factory default settings. If the button is pressed and hold for 5 seconds, all security settings (passwords), will be reset to a disabled security.

Page 10 IP change window (6) will be displayed. A new IP Address and network mask must be entered in this window. If the new IP Address is on the same subnet as the PC, it will be possible to access the SPX5 Gateway for configuration or for firmware upgrade.
Page 11: Operation And Configuration Of The Spx5
The SPX5 is an industrial communication gateway that allows transferring value to and from its internal database. Using any of the supported protocols, the information is read from a device and copied in the internal memory of the SPX5. Then using another protocol that same information is transferred to a different device.
Page 12: Data Base
This data can also be accessed by the protocols to be transferred to a different device. The Status web page of the SPX5 allows viewing the Database for troubleshooting or just to view the values retrieved by the different protocols. The Status web page (shown in Figure 12) shows the database as an array of values with a user selectable Data Format and Byte Swapping.
Page 13: Module Configuration
The SPX5 database can be accessed from all the available protocols as well as from the scripts. When accessed from any protocol, the addressing used is in 16 bit Words, whereas when accessed from the scripts, it is addressed as 8 Bit Bytes. What this means is that typically, database addresses entered in the scripts correspond to double the number of the addresses entered in the protocol configuration screens.

The user must carefully choose these values to allow the SPX5 gateway to communicate through the hardwired Ethernet interface. IZI Technology Inc, 3651 Pegasus Dr. Ste. 117 Bakersfield, CA 93308 USA. Tel: (661) 412-3494 -- email: sales@izitechnology.com...
Page 15 The Gateway setting is required if the SPX5 will be accessing networks outside the wireless (WLAN) and wired (LAN) sub networks. In that case, the IP of a router connected to the LAN interface must be specified in the Gateway setting.

Page 18: Modbus Tcp/Ip Client Protocol
Each one of those data transfer blocks specifies a block of data that is transferred to/from a Modbus TCP/IP device and to the SPX5 Internal database. Each one of those transfers are executed automatically according to the specified poll time.
Page 19 Parameter (6) Device IP Address y Device Node Address, allows setting the address of the Modbus TCP IP Server that the user wants to access with this command. The SPX5 automatically IZI Technology Inc, 3651 Pegasus Dr. Ste. 117 Bakersfield, CA 93308 USA.

3 Read Holding Registers and enter Device Modbus Address 0. The parameter 9 SPX5 Database Address is the 16-bit word address of the SPX5 Database register associated with this command. For read commands, the information will be copied in the specified address.
Page 21 The “Connection Timeout” is the time with no data in a TCP connection before closing the connection. The recommended value for this parameter is 10000 mSec. By default all the SPX5 Database memory is mapped into Modbus Registers. Figure 23 shows the mapping between Modbus registers and addresses on the SPX5 internal database.
Page 22: Ethernet/Ip Tag Client
Like in the other protocols configuration, the user has to define data transfer blocks in the Ethernet/IP Tag Client to transfer a PLC Tag Data to or from the SPX5 internal database. To create transfer blocks the buttons in the Data Mapping section are used. When adding or editing a new data transfer the Tag Setting section will show.

Figure 26. Boolean Tag Read Example NTP Protocol The SPX5 can be configured to use an external NTP server to synchronize Date and Time. Figure 27 shows the configuration screen of the NTP Client Protocol. These are the parameters that must be configured for the NTP Client Protocol: NTP Server Address: This corresponds to the IP Address of the Main NTP server.
