16 ETHERNET PORT
16.1 ILLUSTRATION
ETHERNET port, used for controller monitoring, has two connection modes: network client mode and
web server mode.
NOTE: After changing controller network parameters (e.g. IP address, sub network mask etc.) new settings will take
effect only after the controller is restarted.
16.2 NETWORK CLIENT MODE
When the controller is used as network client, it can be monitored via network port using TCP ModBus
protocol.
The procedure is the following:
1.
Set IP address and sub network of the controller. The IP address must in the same network
segment as the IP address of monitoring equipment (e.g. PC) e.g.: if monitoring equipment IP
address is 192.168.0.16, controller IP can be 192.168.0.18, sub network mask 255.255.255.0
2.
Connect the controller. It can be connected to the monitoring equipment directly using network
cable or via switchboard.
3.
The communication between the controller and monitoring equipment is carried out using TCP
ModBus protocol.
NOTE: In this connection mode controller parameters can be set. SmartGen provides testing software for this
connection mode. Communication protocol can be obtained from the SmartGen service.
16.3 WEB SERVER MODE
If the controller acts as a web server, it can be controlled via web browser using PC.
The procedure is the following:
1.
Set IP address and subnet mask of the controller. The IP address must be in the same network
segment as the IP address of monitoring equipment (such as PC), e.g.: if monitoring equipment IP
address is 192.168.0.16, controller IP can be 192.168.0.18, sub network mask 255.255.255.0
2.
Connect the controller. It can be connected to the monitoring equipment directly using network
cable or via switchboard.
3.
In order to monitor the controller, input its IP address in web browser (such as IE) address bar. E.g.:
http://192.168.0.18.
NOTE: in this connection mode, controller parameters cannot be altered.
