CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 This symbol, found on your product or on its packaging, indicates that this product should not be treated as household waste when you wish to dispose of it. Instead, it should be handed over to an applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
Macro mode can be used for these functions. CIE-H12A has two input ports and one output port. One of the input ports is a dry- contact type and the other one is wet-contact. Thus, you are allowed to use it under both types of systems.

CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 ⚫ The voltage input type (Wet contact) Figure 1-6 the wet contact input port You can give a DC voltage to input signal to this port. This port is isolated by photo- couplers and you don’t have to care about the polarity. The circuit diagram of the input port is shown in the figure below.
Use a (-) shaped screwdriver to connect it with users’ devices since the output ports are interfaced with a 3.5mm terminal block, CIE-H12A is most appropriate for switching devices in lower voltage conditions than that. Or High capacity relay is recommended.
1.6.3 Ethernet Interface An RJ45 connector is for the network interface of CIE-H12A. You can use a UTP cable. It automatically senses 10Mbits or 100Mbits Ethernet. It also provides auto MDI/MDIX function that can automatically sense a 1:1 cable or cross over cable.
CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 1.6.5 System LED CIE-H12A has 2 LEDs on RJ45 and the current system status LEDs for out port and input ports. Each LED represents the following status: place name color LED status description blinks in...

CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 Operation Modes What is the Operation Mode? Each of two operation modes are designed for specific purposes, and those are as follows: ⚫ Normal mode This mode is for normal data communication and has 3 communication modes.
In normal mode, there are 3 types of ways to monitor and control I/O. Type Description Control and monitor the I/O of CIE-H12A via Modbus/TCP. Modbus/TCP It supports both master and slave mode. Users can automatically control the output ports by setting MACRO Macro using some basic formula of Boolean Algebra.
CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 Methods for I/O control MODBUS/TCP CIE-H12A supports Modbus/TCP. By using this protocol, it remotely monitors and controls I/O devices. To use this method, your application should support this protocol. 5.1.1 Related Parameters Parameters Descriptions Modbus/TCP Using Modbus/TCP for controlling I/O ports of CIE-H12A.
According to the standard Modbus/TCP, users can use a Modbus/TCP manager to control and monitor their I/O devices. You can set CIE-H12A to the [Slave] item to [Slave] mode. The [Passive] connection is recommended in this mode and the [Peer Port] should be 502.
Table 5-3 the passive / active connection 5.1.5 Initial Output Value The initial value of CIE-H12A’s output port can be configured. The output ports are set to ON or OFF according to the value of [Initial State] at the boot time. 5.1.6 Write Pulse By using the FC105, you can give the signal of pulse type to the output ports.
CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 5.1.7 Communication with HMI In case of communication HMI with CIE-H12A, please refer to the address table below. CIE-H12A's default Input address is 0 and default Output address is 8. Default Modbus Port Bit/Word...
CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 Macro Mode This mode lets users set the values of the output ports with simple macros. Since CIE- H12A reflects the values according to the macro expressions which are configured by users in advance, it is useful to make a specific device operate automatically using signals from various sensors.
CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 5.2.3 An Example of Equations Here are two examples. In the expressions, spaces between the two operands will be ignored. Input Port Equations Description Do0-(A) i0 + i1 Perform bit OR i0 and i1 Do0-(B) /(i0 * i1) Perform bit AND i0 and i1.
ISP (Internet Service Provider) blocks the port, you can change that port number. Figure 5-2 changing port number for HTTP ① Change HTTP port number on CIE-H12A via ezManager ② Input the IP address of CIE-H12A along with the changed port number and “http://” on a Web Browser - 27 -...
I/O ports with your webpage made by yourself. ⚫ Upgrading HTML files CIE-H12A has a default webpage when it is manufactured in the factory. For advanced users, we have been offering some examples (sample web pages) based on various technologies such as CSS and J query.
Upgrading Firmware 6.1.1 Firmware Firmware is a type of software for operation of CIE-H12A. If it is needed to add function or fix bugs, the firmware will be modified and released. We recommend that users keep using the latest released firmware.

CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 6.3.2 Checking status by ezManager Status of CIE-H12A can be monitored by [Status] button on ezManager. By using the [Refresh Every 1 Second] option in the status window, the status is automatically updated in every second.
Page 37
⚫ Password This text box is activated when CIE-H12A has a password. If users want to close the TCP connection, this password has to be correctly filled. ⚫ Refresh Every 1 Second.
The maximum length is 8 bytes of Alphabet or number. When you want to revoke all of these restrictions, change the mode of CIE-H12A to the ISP mode. All restrictions are removable and communication with ezManager is revoked in the ISP mode.
7.2.1 Notify IP Change CIE-H12A can be a TCP server even though it is assigned the IP address automatically. Using [Notify IP Change] function, it sends its IP address with the host name to the specific server. There are 3 types of functions provided: DDNS, TCP and UDP.
CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 7.2.2 Debugging Message By using [Debugging] option, users can receive debugging messages from CIE-H12A on the network. When you are facing a problem about the TCP connection or data communication, use this function and send us the stored file. We can use it for finding out the reason of your problem.

7.3.2 Valid Time CIE-H12A only recognizes signals of the input ports as the valid signals when the signal lasts for the [Valid Time]. If the signals are not maintained for the [Valid Time], the input signals will be ignored. The unit used for the [Valid Time] is 1ms. However, because the accuracy is only guaranteed in 10ms, the designated values are rounded down in units of 10ms.
CIE-H12A User Manual Ver. 1.0 Self-Test in Trouble When users are in trouble with using CIE-H12A, make sure of the following steps first. Searching problem with ezManager ⚫ Confirming types of configuration utility CIE-H12A can be configured by ezManager. ⚫ Cancelling the Firewall operation In case of being blocked by firewalls of a personal computer or network block, you must cancel all the firewalls before searching CIE-H12A.
Under this circumstance, users should ask the person in charge of their network to release ports which will be used. (Ex: TCP 502, UDP 50005) ⚫ Operation Mode A TCP connection is not possible when CIE-H12A is operating in the ISP or Serial Configuration mode. ⚫ Connection Mode To make a TCP connection, both a server (passive mode) and a client (active mode) should exist.
