CanTech 1. Basic information 1.1 Description Ethernet card Ether4 allows you to monitor status of the four potential free inputs, measure the temperature and supply voltage and control two relay outputs. Measured values and input status are transmitted in digital form to master system via ethernet interface.
Using internal WEB site you can track inputs and measured values. It also allows you to view and configure. To save the settings, you need to log username and password. Default settings: Name: cantech Password: cantech IP address : 192.168.1.103 Mask : 255.255.255.0...

CanTech After completing the reset, change text “Performing Reset“ to “Reset done” 2.3 Measurement settings Select value : select the value with which to work Text : description of value – maximum 24 symbols Serial number : number of the thermometer if it is used only one thermometer, a value is empty when using multiple thermometers, each must have its own address.
CanTech 2.4 Calibration Calibration can be performed either single-point or two-point: Single-point calibration – value at MIN remains 0,0 and at button single-point to enter the current value and presses the button Single-point. Two-point calibration – sets the minimum value and this is entered at MIN and presses MIN.

CanTech Each user alarm consists of logical operations between individual operands. Using the timer function, signals can be delayed (it used max. 8 timers). Based on the evaluation of the user alarm sends a trap, mail or switches associated output. Alarm is evaluated from left to right and parentheses indicate priority.
CanTech 6. Program Ether4.exe Program used to monitor one or more devices Ether4 in the network. Displays the status of inputs, outputs, user alarms and measured values. Status changes can be saved to a log file. Measured values can be saved to files and plot their graph.
CanTech Device states are also displayed in the icon of the program: All devices are within normal Was captured the trap Somewhere there is alarm Appeared measurement fault or communication 6.1 Panel of Device list Column: # - serial number, color of field specifies the communication status...
CanTech 6.2 Alarms panel In left column are shown the status of digital inputs, the right displays the users alarm. If there is no defined user alarm, so does not appear The green LED in left upper corner appears when List of devices is hidden and displays the communication status.
CanTech After clicking on the switch, the output switches. Before switching will ask for a name and password. Login data are stored and the second time to them without asking. 7. Upgrade firmware Program Ether4_FW.exe used to store the new firmware to Ether4.
