Introduction The isHMuxGate is an Ethernet gateway for the connection of RS485-HART multiplexers to an Ethernet network. The gateway translates from the Ethernet HART-IP protocol into the RS485 protocols of different multiplexer vendors. Dimensional Drawing...
This button is located behind a small hole next to the RJ45 connector. As a result of a firmware reset, the gateway will have its default isHMuxGate IP address 192.168.0.10 and all other settings are back to factory HART-IP Gateway...
Hardware installation Safety instructions Installation notes Installation, operation and maintenance must be made by qualified personnel only and in accordance with your local and national technical regulations and safety directives. Do not repair the device yourself, but replace it with an equivalent device. Repairs may be performed by the manufacturer only.
The gateway must be mounted vertically on a 35 mm DIN rail. The gateway isHMuxGate is an open system and in accordance with UL / CSA approval an “open type.” The gateway have to be installed in a control cabinet, appropriate housing or a closed electrical operation room accessible only to authorized maintenance staff.
The default address of the gateway is: 192.168.0.10 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Use your favorite browser to go the IP Address of your isHMuxGate. You should see this website. This is an overview over the current status. Click on „Network Settings“ and you will get to the configuration mask.
Menu Firmware and select the file you want to flash. Click the Upload button and wait until a confirmation appears that the upload was successful. After the successful update, the isHMuxGate must be restarted by using the Restart- function in the Web interface. Soft-Restart To restart the gateway, go to the Restart menu and press the button Reboot.
Password protection To enable a global password protection for the isHMuxGate web interface, click on the Pass- word menu on the left. Activate the Password protection by clicking in the checkbox. Enter your password and repeat it in the field below.
License key In the standard version the isHMuxGate is capable of connecting But it is also possible to purchase the gateway in the standard one single HART multiplexer to an HART-IP network. version and - when needed - to purchase the license key at a later In order to connect more than one HART multiplexer to an time.
Standard and Additional License key Additional license: Standard license: connecting more than one HART multiplexer to an HART-IP network connecting one single HART multiplexer to an HART-IP network HART Field device Multiplexer Multiplexer isHMuxGate isHMuxGate HART-IP Gateway HART-IP Gateway Multiplexer...
Mux-Mode Usually the isHMuxGate translates all the protocols of different HART multiplexers into HART-IP. But it is also possible to disable the HART-IP protocol. In the transparent mode all the gateway does is to forward all incoming characters received on TCP side to RS485 and vica versa.
Device List Settings Mux Types The isHMuxGate keeps track of all HART instruments wired to the connected HART multiplexers. The user can select between single drop and multidrop but he can also disable searching for HART devices at all. The isHMuxGate contains a list with known HART multiplexers.
3.10 Multiplexer List On this page the isHMuxGate shows all HART multiplexers connected to this gateway. The number of multiplexers shown here depends on the „Multiplexer search range“ in the RS485 settings (see chapter 3.7 „RS 485 Settings“ on page 17).
Integration into the ABB FIM Setup Installation The hardware supplied also includes a USB stick containing the necessary installation files (zip.). In the first step, please install the following program file after unpacking: “HMUXGate FDI CommServer Setup.msi”. Start of the Installation: End of the Installation: Please check the correct installation of the HMuxGate CommunicationServer on your computer.

FDT / HMuxGate DTM Setup Installation The hardware supplied also includes a USB stick containing the necessary installation files (zip.). In the first step, please install the following program file after unpacking: “HMUXGate DTMs Setup.msi”.
Insert the HMuxGate The FDT Frame Application PACTware is used in this manual as an example. Once you have opened your FDT Frame Application and started a new project you can add the HMuxGate as device.
Page 35
Before you can go online with the new device, you still need to enter the IP address of the isHMuxGate. In order to do so, select the Parameter menu item from the context menu.
If an HMuxGate is present in the network, it is displayed in the address bar of the parameter window. If there is no isHMuxGate connected to the network, you can just enter the IP address manually into the address bar.
Page 37
For informational purposes you can press the button (Show Connected Multiplexers). This will present a list of all HART multiplexers currently connected to the selected isHMuxGate.
Topology Scan With the help of the Topology scan, all connected multiplexers are displayed. The modules/channels are also searched for connected devices.
