Page 4: Application Scope
1. APPLICATION SCOPE 1.1. Purpose CONV485E converter allows data exchange between: master system running on a LAN with TCP/IP and devices with serial RS485 ports (Server mode), master system running on the network RS485 and devices with an Ethernet port (Client mode). -
Page 5: Mode
CONV485E Figure 1.2 Example of application 1.2. Mode The device can operate in two modes set in Profile menu: Client mode – the converter operates as a TCP/IP client, opens the connection to TCP/IP server. Enables communication between the master device on the RS485 and slave devices on the LAN side. -
Page 6: Mode: Client, Protocol: Ethernet Tcp/Ip ↔ Rs485
CONV485E In Ethernet TCP/IP ↔ RS485 mode received from LAN string (ASCII or binary) is sent without any change to RS485 port. Similarly, a string received from to RS485 port is forwarded to the LAN. In Modbus TCP ↔ RTU mode the Modbus TCP frame is converted to Modbus RTU frame (and vice versa). -
Page 7: Mode: Server, Protocol: Modbus Tcp ↔ Rtu
CONV485E Mode: Server, Protocol: Modbus TCP ↔ RTU 1.7. According to Modbus specification data exchange can be done in two ways: Query – Response or Broadcast. Query – Response Client (PLC, PC, …) opens the connection to the converter on the IP address and port set in converter Profile. -

CONV485E 2. INSTALLATION 2.1. Mechanical installation Converter can be latched on TS-35 rail. 2.2. Electrical connection Converter has two slots: LAN RJ-45 and the six position terminal (plug type) for connecting power supply and RS485 network. Maximum 1,5 mm cross-section wires can be used for the terminal. -

Default password is: 12345 During first configuration following parameters should be filled up: IP address, subnet mask, default gateway in accord with network where it will be use. DHCP server should be turned off.

- Page 13 CONV485E Figure 3.3 Profile page for Server mode In Client mode up to six servers can be set. Each server needs to have his IP Address, Port, Connection Timeout and Response Timeout. For Modbus TCP ↔ RTU protocol also destination address have to be set. Every active server has to be declared in the checkbox with a mark .

Page 14: Changing The Configuration
CONV485E Figure 3.4 Profile page for Client mode In menu Password user can change his password. It is recommended to change the default password. When the password is forgotten the converter has to be reset to his default state. All settings will be lost. - Page 15 CONV485E Figure 3.5 RESET button location Restoring factory settings is possible in two ways: by holding down the button during a power converter, press and hold (approximately 2 s) during normal operation. TxD and RxD LEDs will alternately blink. After about 30 seconds over the process of writing the default settings the LEDs will stop flashing and the converter starts to operate normally.
