Use the installation manual for more information. ATTENTION! In any case, SENECA s.r.l. or its suppliers will not be responsible for the loss of data/revenue or consequential or incidental damages due to negligence or bad/improper management of the device, even if SENECA is well aware of these possible damages.
DEVICE HARDWARE REVISION With a view to continuous improvement, Seneca updates and makes the hardware of its devices increasingly more sophisticated. It is possible to know the hardware revision of a product via the label on the side of the device.
IEC 61850 – MODBUS User Manual GATEWAYS FLEX TECHNOLOGY FOR PROTOCOL CHANGE Starting from the hardware revision indicated in the following table, the KEY series devices include Flex technology. GATEWAY FLEX TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTED BY HARDWARE REVISION Z-KEY “G00” R-KEY-LT “E00”...
GATEWAYS CHANGING PROTOCOLS WITH THE SENECA DISCOVERY DEVICE SOFTWARE From revision 2.8 the Seneca Discovery Device software identifies the devices that support the “Flex” technology: For example, in the case in the figure it is possible to press the “Change Protocol” button and select the destination protocol from those in the list: At the end of the operation, bring (only at the first power-on) the dip switches 1 and 2 to “ON”...
DO NOT CONNECT 2 OR MORE FACTORY-CONFIGURED DEVICES ON THE SAME ETHERNET NETWORK, OR THE DEVICE WILL NOT WORK (192.168.90.101 IP ADDRESS CONFLICT) FIRMWARE UPDATE In order to improve, add or optimize the functions of the product, Seneca releases firmware updates on the device section on the www.seneca.it website The firmware update is performed using Seneca tools or the webserver.
Once this file is imported into the SCADA (it is also possible to search for the node) all the configured IO will be accessible without any other configuration. In addition to the serial devices, it is also possible to connect up to 3 remote Modbus TCP-IP servers. www.seneca.it ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

GGIO1. For example, for the “VAR1” variable we have: DataSet For the Report Data Blocks it is necessary to define one or more sets of variables, this is done through the definition of the datasets. www.seneca.it ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. NO PART OF THIS PUBLICATION MAY MI00705-0-EN Page 12...
The dataset is sent directly from the server to the client in case the configured event has occurred. The KEY series gateways support both buffered and unbuffered RCBs. In unbuffered RCBs the data is transmitted as defined by the chosen trigger options. In case of a connection loss the data is not stored.
At this point the PWR LED starts to flash to indicate the operating mode as a webserver for the configuration. The default address of the webserver is: http://192.168.90.101 user: admin password: admin www.seneca.it ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
