Chapter 3 of this User’s Manual or call Customer Support at 509‐735‐9092. Serial Applications A Model 195M/H/C can be configured for point‐to‐point, multipoint or PLC emulations through software configuration changes. The following are brief descriptions of the Serial Device Interface (SDI) configuration modes. For detailed descriptions and suggested applications for each mode, please refer to Chapter 3. Figure 2 – Pole Mount Configuration RS‐232 – The ESTeem 195M/H/C has two (2) RS‐232 data ports. One RS‐232 port (Port 4) is available for use when the ESTeem 195M/H/C is remote pole mounted (Figure 2), but only supports the basic three wire (Transmit, Receive and Ground) connection Revised: 15 Feb 2017 ESTeem Models 195MHC...
RS‐485 – The ESTeems have a single, two‐wire RS‐485 data port (Port 1). The RS‐485 data port is shared on the front panel with the 4/20mA sensors. The RS‐485 interface is typically used for long distances to 4,000 feet at baud rates software configurable from 2,400 to 115,000 bps. Ethernet Applications The ESTeem 195M/H/C has a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface (Port 2) that is used as both a data port and the primary programming port. When the Ethernet port is used as a data port there are two modes of operation. The primary use will be as a slow speed (12.5 Kbps) Ethernet bridge to remote locations to gather data from remote Ethernet devices. The secondary mode of operation is to configure the Ethernet port as a TCP or UDP Socket and write custom software applications to access the data port. Each of these modes of operation are described in detail in Chapter 5. Sensor Applications The ESTeem 195C and 195M have four (4) 4/20mA sensor inputs. The sensor inputs can be read out of the 195M/H/C though ...

“routes” in the table (Figure 16). Once the repeater routes have been identified in the network, the append entries will instruct the ESTeem 195M/H/C which remote addresses use these routes. The append entry creates a group of address from the Start ID to the End ID. Refer to Figure 4 and note address 182 and 183 (repeater and also a remote site) will use the repeater (address 181).
CHAPTER 4 REPEATING FEATURES Any ESTeem Model 195M, 195H or 195C in the wireless network can be used as a repeater to reach a remote location. Manually entering repeater routes in a terminal for testing a connection (connect command) or remote programming (program command) is as simple as adding the routing in the address with the repeaters identified by commas. For example, using Figure 1, if your computer is connected to the ESTeem 195M/H/C at the Master Station and you want to connect to address 21, y our command would be “connect 3,21”. Also if you wished to connect to address 30 from the Master Station your command would ...

Figure 5: Route 3 Configuration Route 4: This fourth route uses a total of three repeaters. Follow the address route from the master and notice that the first repeater is address 3. Type 3 in the first repeater block. The second address from the master in this route is address 20. Type 20 in the second repeater block. The third repeater address from the master is address 40. Type 40 in the third repeater block. (Figure 6). Notice that the two addresses that use this repeater route are not sequential, by putting 30 in the first block and 35 in the second would allocate addresses 31‐34 to this route. In this example we will input each address separately. On the first line type 30 in both blocks and on the second line use the same repeater route number and type 35 in both blocks (Figure 6). Once all repeater routes are addressed, press the Write Tables button to save to the connected ESTeem 195C, 195M Figure 6: Route 4 Configuration or 195H. Revised: 15 Feb 2017 ESTeem Models 195MHC...

30‐32 with the RF Dest being the radio address of 30. Unlike a repeater configuration for serial PLC emulation modes, the return path from the remote to the master must also be configured in the route and append tables. If a repeater route is not used to communicate to a remote site, set the Route to 0. Figure 10: Remote 2 Configuration Using Figure 8 for an example, the configuration of the Master Site’s route and append table would look like Figure 9. Note that all IP addresses in the network are identified in the append table of the Master Site. If you are using a Class B IP address (Netmask Figure 11: Remotes 1 and 3 Configuration 255.255.0.0) you need to identify the third octet (Oct3) to remote locations in the append table. Note in Append Entry 3, the third octet in the Master and Remote 3 are the same so Oct3 can be left at default entry of 255. Revised: 15 Feb 2017 ESTeem Models 195MHC...

If an ESTeem 195M/C is added to an existing Model 192 network, it is highly recommended the Model 195M/C is installed at a remote location and not the Master or Repeater location of the Model 192 network (Figure 1). If the 195M/C is required to be used as the Master or Repeater site, “train” the radio modem to one of the remote locations and then test all wireless links from that location. The Model 195M/C configuration utility can be used to provide local signal strength (RSSI) information but cannot gather information from a Model 192 because the process uses ModbusTCP protocol only available in the 195M/C. The ESTeem Model 192 configuration utility’s diagnostic can be used to test the operation of the wireless network but must be run from the Model 192 side of the wireless network. For example in Figure 1, the diagnostic utility (Polling Test) must be run from Figure 1: Model 192 Integration Diagram the Master SCADA location. Loading Model 192 Compatibility Firmware The ESTeem Model 195M and 195C will need to load the firmware version compatible with the Model 192 series (201605311302).
