8 Port COE-8I & COE-8O
Contact Closure Over Ethernet
Overview
COE-8 is a system for transporting switch closure information over a TCP/IP network. The COE-8
consists of two devices, and Transmitter Unit (COE-8I) and a Receiver Unit (COE-8O). The COE-8I
provides 8 inputs for switch contacts, relay closures or DC Voltage. Upon a change of state for any
channel, it will transmit a message to one or more (up to 32) COE-8O units. The COE-8O has eight
relays that will mirror the status of the eight inputs of the COE-8I. Each unit can be monitored and
configured from a Web Browser.

Summary of Contents for Black Box COE-8I

  • Page 1 (up to 32) COE-8O units. The COE-8O has eight relays that will mirror the status of the eight inputs of the COE-8I. Each unit can be monitored and configured from a Web Browser.
  • Page 2: Hardware Installation

    Inputs (COE-8I) Connect the inputs to the COE-8I using the screw terminals on the printed circuit card, as illustrated. Inputs can be either dry relay or switch contacts, or a +VDC voltage (3 to 30 V), referenced to a common ground.

  • Page 4: Web Page Access

    WEB Page Access The web pages provide status information on the inputs and outputs of the COE-8, as well as provide configuration for the unit. Open a browser to the default or current IP address of the unit. Enter the default username and password: Factory Defaults: IP Address 192.168.1.254...
  • Page 5 Configuration Setting I/P Address The COE-8 units provide three methods for setting the IP Address 1) Static IP via the Web Page Setup 2) DHCP 3) ARP/Ping WEB Page Login to the COE-8 and access the Setup pages by clicking on the Setup button from the home page. Click on the IP button to bring up the IP Settings page: Select Static Mode from the radio buttons and fill in the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway as provided by your network administrator.
  • Page 6 ARP/Ping Select ARP/Ping radio button. Click Apply and then Reboot when prompted. Follow the steps below. It is recommended that after a successful setting of the IP address using this method, that the Mode be changed back to Static. This will prevent malicious programs from altering the IP address. To set the IP address, the hardware (MAC) address must be known.
  • Page 7 The Control Port for both the COE-8I and all COE-8Os that receive status from it must be set the same. If a port other than the default Port 80 is used for web browser access, that port must specifically be used in the URL when accessing the COE-8.
  • Page 8 Traps can be sent every time there is a change of state on any COE-8 channel. Check the box provided to enable this. If both the COE-8I and COE-8O are configured to send traps, two messages will be received by each SNMP manager for each event.
