First connection Overvierw To configure and use the eWON, you will use a Web Browser like Internet Explorer. Before you can connect to the eWON using your explorer, you will need to connect and configure the Ethernet TCP/IP connection of the eWON (if you want to connect to the eWON using a modem, please check the "User Manual").
4000 Getting started The Ethernet interface is the rightmost connector. As soon as the Ethernet network is connected successfully, the "ETH. Link" led should go solid green, indicating that the eWON has sensed the network speed (10 or 100MBits). Set-up TCP/IP configuration Your must assign to the eWON an IP address compatible with your LAN configuration.

PC has address 10.0.0.57 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (you will need that information too). To select an IP address for the eWON take for example 10.0.0.58 (one more than yours) and test if it is not in use with the PING command: Type PING 10.0.0.58.
1.3.2 Assigning the address to the eWON In order to assign the IP address to the eWON for the first time, check the eWON serial number on its label (eWON left side) The serial number has the following format: 0137-0008-81 (for example) Run the program EWONCFG.EXE to assign the eWON's IP address, the program is...

Enter the parameters as previously defined. Then click "Set" and look at the eWON's "ETH Link" led, after a few seconds, this led should go OFF indicating that the eWON is restarting while taking its new IP address.
"Scan…". When you click "Scan…" the "ETH Act." led of the eWON should blink. If the led does not blink, it means that the eWON did not respond to the Scan request. There cannot be 2...
Basic eWON configuration Introduction This chapter is not supposed to be a user manual for the eWON, it will rather describe a simple configuration in order to quickly browse through the various eWON's screens and features. This will provide you with an overview of the eWON's features.
Create your user account The eWON manages a list of users with their assigned rights. The first operation that you will perform is to create your user account. Click on the menu. The following menu will replace the main menu: Select the Users Setup menu.
(a digital input of the eWON or a remote modbus register for example), the tag can also be used to update an output (like one of the eWON's digital output relays). There is also a special type of tag called "memory tag" that allows monitoring computed values.

(non volatile flash memory). A deadband of 0 means that any change is logged, interval time of 0 means that time based logging is disabled. This tag will act directly on the eWON's relay number 1 and any action on the relay will be logged.
Use the "Light" tag combo box and set value to then click Update. You must hear the relay clicking in the eWON and the "Relay 1" LED on the eWON front plate must go solid green. Repeat the operation and set the "Light" tag to 0.
REM: The Level tag is a memory tag, this means that its value must be set manually or by using the program features of the eWON. This can be very useful to combine the values of different tags into another tag. The resulting tag has the same features as any other tag, it can be logged, and monitored for alarm conditions, etc.
4000 Getting started Check the alarm history Each time an alarm event occurs, the eWON logs the event in its flash file system. To review the alarm history, Click on the Alarm History entry in the main menu. The following window will be displayed The alarm events are listed with the more recent event first.

Now click on the "Update Output" button, the "Program start" message has been cleared. REM: The "Script starts at eWON Boot" can be checked if you want to run the program automatically when the eWON starts. If you go the the View IO screen,...
4000 Getting started Send an EMail (with a modem) In this section we will learn how to configure the eWON to send an EMail using the modem. If the mail server is reachable by ethernet the same operation can be done without the modem, but the usual case is to use a modem.

4000 Getting started This are exactly the information we need to setup the eWON. The last item you must provide to configure the "send mail" command is the SMTP server name or IP address. Usually the SMTP server address is given as a name by your internet provider, the...
Outgoing Only Incoming or Outgoing This will allow the eWON to perform a call when an action requires it. For example, to send a mail the eWON needs to connect to the smtp.swing.be SMTP server and that will force an outgoing connection.
The main topic that was not covered at all is the creation of your own custom web site with the eWON, but many other features are detailed in the user manual. This manual is only dedicated to introduce the main eWON features, and by browsing through the eWON screens, show you what the eWON can do.
