    Preface This instruction manual explains the specifications and instructions of the Ethernet communications interface for AL3000 series hybrid recorders, AH3000hybrid recorders, BR1000 series graphic recorders, and SE3000 series field scanners. For using this interface safely and preventing any troubles, make sure to read this instruction manual before operation.

  • Page 4: Outline

    Outline By connecting the Ethernet communications interface (Ethernet IF) for AL3000 series hybrid recorders, AH3000 series hybrid recorders, BR1000 series graphic recorders, SE3000 series field scanners with Local Area Network (LAN) configured by Ethernet (10BASE-T), you can browse real time data of the networked instruments and set up their parameters (partly) by using the WWW browser on your personal computer (PC) connected with the LAN.

  • Page 5: Explanation Of Each Part

    Explanation of each part Ethernet IF consists of one connector, one LED, and one push button switch. BR/AL/AH SE3000 (1) (2) The following functions are commonly available in the Ethernet IFs for BR1000/AL3000/AH3000 and for SE3000. (1) LINK lamp: Lights when the Ethernet IF is electrically connected with your PC or a hub. (2) RST switch: Reset switch for restarting the Ethernet IF(Re-connection takes 1 or 2 minutes.) (3) RJ-45 connector: For connection to a LAN cable (Be sure to use a shielded twisted-pair cable ( STP ).)

    5.3 Settings of Ethernet IF Set up the Ethernet IF, with the following procedures, by using your PC of which settings have been changed in the paragraph 5.2. (1) Connect the Ethernet IF and your PC as shown in the paragraph 4.1. (2) Turn on the power supply of the networked instruments.

  • Page 9: Operation

    Operation The Ethernet IF has the functions of MODBUS (one client) and HTTP (five clients). You can use both simultaneously if the number of the client is within the specified ones. 6.1 MODBUS This protocol is for the communications with our software packages KIDS and PASS. It communicates with the networked instruments by transmitting the MODBUS commands as data of TCP.
