Chell Document No. : 900255 Issue 1.0 ECO : ---- Date: 15 August 2023 Chell’s policy of continuously updating and improving products means that this manual may contain minor differences in specification, components and software design from the actual instrument supplied.
TP9000 that was designed for adding the DDS protocol to NetScanner devices. The TP9000CI is a small device that is designed to attach to the side of the NetScanner and communicate directly with it, providing an Ethernet interface to...
Specification 2.1 Power Supply: DC Supply 18 to 48VDC Maximum current consumption: 18 VDC supply: 1400mA 48 VDC supply: 520mA PoE : See section 3.1.1 2.2 Package: Dimensions 128 x 60 x 36mm Weight 380g 2.3 Ethernet Specifications: TCP/IP 10Mb/s & 100Mb/s via Auto Negotiation TCP and UDP protocols supported 2.4 Operating conditions: Operating temperature range:...
3 Installation and Interconnections 3.1 Wiring – Power & comms 3.1.1 TP9000 Power Supply The TP9000 is equipped with an auxiliary DC power supply and a Power-over- Ethernet supply. The DC supply will take priority so a TP9000 powered up over DC will not negotiate with a PoE switch.
3.2 Mounting Holes. The TP9000 has 2 slotted mounting holes that line up with the outer mounting holes on the NetScanner. The TP9000 is designed to fit on either side of the NetScanner product and has an optional mounting bracket which can be used in high vibration environments.
4 TP9000 Webserver 4.1 Introduction. In keeping with other devices from Chell containing an embedded webserver, the TP9000 includes some pages that contain configuration parameters as well as information/debug pages. The webserver is divided by tabs into five areas of functionality, namely 'Setup’, 'Live Data', 'Channel Info', ‘Advanced’...
4.2 Common Controls Sidebar Figure 4.1 above shows the first page viewed when navigating to the webserver. The menu at the top allows the user to choose what is visible in the central window, and the sidebar (shown left) shows information and also provides a means to reset the unit.
4.3.3 General Ethernet Comms The General Ethernet Comms parameters are shown in Figure 4.3. The options in this section control the TP9000’s IP address, subnet mask and Local port. Figure 4.3a, TCP Comms group ‘Static’ & ‘DHCP’ radio Toggle between a statically set IP address (using the text boxes buttons below), or a dynamically assigned IP address (from an external DHCP server)
4.3.4 NetScanner Comms The NetScanner Comms section shows the IP address and Subnet of the connected NetScanner unit (as shown in Figure 4.4). This is set by the factory initially when the TP9000 is connected to the NetScanner and should not be changed unless the TP9000 unit is moved to a different NetScanner.
'Live Data' Page Figure 4.6 shows the 'Live Data' page of the webserver. Figure 4.6, Live Data Page The live data page is a means to demonstrating the correct operation of TP9000 and essentially confirms communication with the attached NetScanner. The page shows both the pressure (in psi) and temperature (in degrees C) for each channel as reported by the NetScanner.
4.6 ‘Advanced’ Page The advanced page contains information on timestamping and system health check readings. 4.6.1 Time Stamping This section shows the settings for the timestamping within the TP9000. This timestamp will allow the user to get microsecond level accuracy timestamps on the data packets.
5 Service and Calibration 5.1 Service There are no user serviceable parts inside the instruments. Should any difficulties be encountered in the use of the TP9000, it is recommended that you contact Chell Instruments Ltd for advice and instructions. 5.2 Calibration Calibration is not required for the TP9000.
