MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
Check the IP address of the MultiSmart, modify if it does not match with that of the ADAM unit. To verify or to
change the IP address of the MultiSmart, browse to:
If the ADAM unit is directly connected to the MultiSmart using a cross over cable, set the MultiSmart IP
Address to 10.0.0.2. To configure the IP address of the ADAM units for advanced installations, refer to the
unit manual (available for download from http://advantech.com.tw). Ensure that no more than one ADAM
unit has the same IP address, otherwise an IP address conflict will occur. If advanced routing needs to be
setup in the MultiSmart, refer to Section 22.4.
Navigate to:
1. Select the Modbus Master, which contains the slave profiles of the I/O units, using the select arrow
buttons and press Select.
2. Set the Comms Channel to TCP/IP 1, 2 or 3 whichever is available for use, Link Type to TCP and
press Save. Choose Restart Later option if prompted.
3. Use the select arrow button and select the first slave and press Edit. Select the Enabled? option if it
is not selected already, set the Slave Address to 1 and press Save.
4. Select the IP Address button, enter the ADAM unit's IP address in the Dest IP Address tab, set the
TCP Port to 502 and press Save. Now press Back button twice to navigate to the Modbus Master
settings. (If there is more than one slave, edit the settings for each additional slaves by following the
above procedure)
5. Press the Channel button, set the Connection Type to Initiating end-point and press Save.
6. Once the changes are complete, press Save and restart the unit.
14.7.4 ACROMAG Ethernet Units
ACROMAG Ethernet units currently supported by MultiSmart include:
•
ACROMAG-961
•
ACROMAG-983
Each device includes a CD, which has full instructions on how to set up and use all devices within their
product range. The following description presents a very quick discussion of how to configure the devices for
communications to a MultiSmart. Refer to the full instructions from the manufacturer for more details.
In order to establish communications to the device, first connect the device to a DC power supply (15-36V,
although ACROMAG claim that the units will operate at 11V) via the DC+ and DC- pins. Then connect the
device to the network used by the Windows machine via the RJ-45 connection.
ACROMAG Ethernet I/O units are able to serve html pages. Therefore, to configure a unit, only a web
browser is required. All ACROMAG Ethernet I/O devices have a pre-programmed IP address of: 128.1.1.100.
In order to set up communications to a device, the computer connected must be able to address the unit's IP
range. The simplest way to achieve this is to use a laptop and change the IP address of the laptop to
128.1.1.101. Load a web browser and type the following
This loads the configuration page of the device. The user name is User and the password is passwordOO.
By clicking on Network Configuration, the IP address of the device can be modified. Ensure that no more
than one ACROMAG unit has the same IP address, otherwise it will result in an IP address conflict.
For the ACROMAG-961 analog input device, it is necessary to configure the range of the inputs. This can be
done via the Test Page. Select the range to be 4-20mA, unless another range is desired. If another range is
selected, the raw ranges of the analog tags in MultiSmart should also be modified to reflect this.
The MultiSmart now needs to be reconfigured to communicate to this device.
The default IP address of the ACROMAG unit is 128.1.1.100 unless it is specified and purchased from
MultiTrode.
Check the IP address of the MultiSmart and modify it if it does not match with that of the ACROMAG unit. To
verify or change the IP address of the MultiSmart, browse to:
