CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 The voltage input type (Wet contact) Figure 1-6 the wet contact input port You can give a DC voltage to input signal to this port. This port is isolated by photo- couplers and you don’t have to care about the polarity. The circuit diagram of the input port is shown in the figure below.
Use a (-) shaped screwdriver to connect it with users’ devices since the output ports are interfaced with a 3.5mm terminal block, CIE-H12 is most appropriate for switching devices in lower voltage conditions than that. Or High capacity relay is recommended.

Configuration via LAN Checklists Make sure of the connection between your PC and CIE-H12 via Ethernet. If they are in the same network, [MAC Address search] button can be used. Otherwise, only [IP Address search] is allowed to use.
CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 Operation Modes What is the Operation Mode? Each of two operation modes are designed for specific purposes, and those are as follows: Normal mode This mode is for normal data communication and has 2 communication modes.
In normal mode, there are 3 types of ways to monitor and control I/O. control types Types Description Control and monitor the I/O of CIE-H12 via Modbus/TCP. Modbus/TCP It supports both master and slave mode. Users can automatically control the output ports by setting MACRO Macro using some basic formula of Boolean Algebra.
CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 Methods for I/O control MODBUS/TCP CIE-H12 supports Modbus/TCP. By using this protocol, it remotely monitors and controls I/O devices. To use this method, your application should support this protocol. 5.1.1 Related Parameters Parameters Descriptions Modbus/TCP Using Modbus/TCP for controlling I/O ports of CIE-H12.
According to the standard Modbus/TCP, users can use a Modbus/TCP manager to control and monitor their I/O devices. You can set CIE-H12 to the [Slave] item to [Slave] mode. The [Passive] connection is recommended in this mode and the [Peer Port] should be 502.
Table 5-3 the passive / active connection 5.1.5 Initial Output Value The initial value of CIE-H12’s output port can be configured. The output ports are set to ON or OFF according to the value of [Initial State] at the boot time.
CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 Macro Mode This mode lets users set the values of the output ports with simple macros. Since CIE- H12 reflects the values according to the macro expressions which are configured by users in advance, it is useful to make a specific device operate automatically using signals from various sensors.
CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 5.2.3 An Example of Equations Here are two examples. In the expressions, spaces between the two operands will be ignored. Input Port Equations Description Do0-(A) i0 + i1 Perform bit OR i0 and i1 Do0-(B) /(i0 * i1) Perform bit AND i0 and i1.
ISP (Internet Service Provider) blocks the port, you can change that port number. Figure 5-2 changing port number for HTTP ① Input a port number to the [Web(HTTP) Port] text box. ② Input the IP address of CIE-H12 along with the changed port number and “http://” - 26 - http://www.ezTCP.com...
I/O ports with your webpage made by yourself. Upgrading HTML files CIE-H12 has a default webpage when it is manufactured in the factory. For advanced users, we have been offering some examples (sample web pages) based on various technologies such as CSS and J query.
Upgrading Firmware 6.1.1 Firmware Firmware is a type of software for operation of CIE-H12. If it is needed to add function or fix bugs, the firmware will be modified and released. We recommend that users keep using the latest released firmware.

“st net” command displays the current network states of all sessions. Figure 6-7 “st net” command st uptime “st uptime” command shows amount of time since CIE-H12 has booted up. Figure 6-8 “st uptime” command sc “sc” command is used when users close a session. [OP1] means the name of session, and [OP2] should be “CLOSE”.
CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 6.3.2 Checking status by ezManager Status of CIE-H12 can be monitored by [Status] button on ezManager. By using the [Refresh Every 1 Second] option in the status window, the status is automatically updated in every second.
Page 37
Password This text box is activated when CIE-H12 has a password. If users want to close the TCP connection, this password has to be correctly filled. Refresh Every 1 Second.
The maximum length is 8 bytes of Alphabet or number. When you want to revoke all of these restrictions, change the mode of CIE-H12 to the ISP mode. All restrictions are removable and communication with ezManager is revoked in the ISP mode.
7.2.1 Notify IP Change CIE-H12 can be a TCP server even though it is assigned the IP address automatically. Using [Notify IP Change] function, it sends its IP address with the host name to the specific server. There are 3 types of functions provided: DDNS, TCP and UDP.
CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 7.2.2 Sending MAC Address [Sending MAC Address] is a function that CIE-H12 sends its MAC address to the remote host right after the connection is established. By using this function, a server can identify multiple devices with the information.

CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 7.3.2 Valid Time CIE-H12 only recognizes signals of the input ports as the valid signals when the signal lasts for the [Valid Time]. If the signals are not maintained for the [Valid Time], the input signals will be ignored.
CIE-H12 User Manual Ver. 1.9 Self-Test in Trouble When users are in trouble with using CIE-H12, make sure of the following steps first. Searching problem with ezManager Confirming types of configuration utility CIE-H12 can be configured by ezManager. Cancelling the Firewall operation In case of being blocked by firewalls of a personal computer or network block, you must cancel all the firewalls before searching CIE-H12.
Port, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP Address, DNS IP Address, DDNS option and etc. PING Test Confirm the connection over the network by PING test. If CIE-H12 does not send any reply from the request, check the network environment. Firewall In case the networks which need strong security, the access may be denied by their firewall.
Port Base Address], [Poll Interval] and [Notify Input change]. Checking which mode is using In case of MACRO or serialized Modbus/TCP, you can control the outputs of CIE-H12. Turn the mode off if those modes are using. Contact us if you have any questions about above steps or our products.
