Chapter 1 Introduction The Hydronix Ethernet Adapter provides a simple method of network enabling Hydronix products. The Adapter is a small DIN-rail mounted unit that converts packets received over an Ethernet (TCP/IP) network to RS485 or RS232. This enables a host PC elsewhere on the network to communicate with sensors using Hydronix Hydro-Com software.
The Ethernet Adapter should be mounted in the wiring junction box as close to the sensors as possible, and protected from water and excessive dust. The Ethernet Adapter (EA01) should be installed in such a manner as to prevent electro-static discharge to the Ethernet “IN”...

IN to the router output and the port labelled OUT to the drop cable. Connect a 240V or 110V mains supply to the Power Injector. Note: The Power Injector Module can supply sufficient power for up to three Hydronix sensors (or 4 Hydro-Probe II sensors). If more sensors are to be connected to the network, then a separate power supply local to the sensors should be used instead of the Power over Ethernet solution.
It must be connected to an Ethernet cable with an 802.11af compliant Power Injector supplying it. The Ethernet Adapter (EA01) has three indicator lights on the top. The red indicator illuminates when a suitable 24V supply is connected. The transmit indicator light blinks when data is received by the Adapter and is being sent to the sensors.

The same “ * “ commands can be used as would normally be used over a serial link, and the responses will provide the same information. Refer to the Hydro-Control VI Users Guide for more details of the commands available Hydronix Ethernet Adapter User Guide HD0333 Rev 2.1.0...
DHCP addresses. Contact the Network Administrator to find a suitable address. 2 Finding an Ethernet Adapter automatically Communication with Hydronix sensors is carried out with the Hydro-Com Utility. To start go to the Communications->TCP/IP menu in Hydro-Com and select “Search for Ethernet Adapters”.
>Add Ethernet Adapter. In the dialog that is shown, enter the IP Address and Port Number (usually 10001) of the Ethernet Adapter The adapter will be added to the list, select it to connect. Hydronix Ethernet Adapter User Guide HD0333 Rev 2.1.0...
