Ethernet Communication Module IFD9506

1 Introduction

To ensure correct installation and operation of IFD9506, please read this manual carefully before using your
IFD9506.
IFD9506 is an Ethernet communication module which can convert serial communication RS-232/RS-485 to
Ethernet, and convert Ethernet to RS-232/RS-485, supporting communication protocols including Modbus,
Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP and User Define (UD Link). The setting software is Delta software DCISoft. Through
RS-232 or Ethernet, IFD9506 can be set.

1.1 Features

 It auto-detects Ethernet 10/100 Mbps transmission speed; MDI/MDI-X auto-detects the required cable
connection type without jump wire.
 It supports Modbus TCP protocol and UD Link, which works in both serial master and slave modes.
 It supports the Ethernet / IP Adapter mode (see Note 1). In the serial master mode, the device monitoring
tables of IFD9506 can be read through Implicit Message, and Modbus instructions can be transmitted
through Explicit Message (via function codes: 0x03 and 0x06).
 In the serial device server mode, the two-way communication is supported, but only the UD link mode is
available.
 The monitored data are stored via smart Monitor table so as to fast read the device data. The maximum
number of data which can be temporarily stored is 100 (See Note 2).
 It is able to send out E-Mails when the external input point is triggered. (The account-password and
encryption protocols, e.g. SSL/TLS are not supported)
 The communication and the power supply are isolated from each other, and the immunity against the noise is
strong.
 The Modbus station address, communication format and the baud rate can be set by the external rotary
switches.
 It has virtual serial COM ports.
Notes:
1. To run in the Ethernet/IP adapter mode, the module should be used with firmware V2.04 or above and EIP
Builder V1.07 or above.
2. To store 100 registers of data, the module should be used with firmware V1.62 or above and DCISoft V1.20
or above.

1.2 Installation and Wiring

Connect the Ethernet port of IFD9506 to the Ethernet hub with the twisted pair cable CAT-5e. The mode setting
for IFD9506 should be paid attention to.
