19 7. Maintenance And Inspect ion Preventive maintenance and inspection is required to maintain the interface in its optimal condition, and to ensure a long operational lifetime. Depending on usage and operating conditions, perform a periodic inspection once every three to six months.
20 8. Stor ag e And W ar r anty 8.1 Storag e Observe the follow ing points when the interface is not used immediately after purchase or when it is not used for an ex tended period of time. • Avoid storing the unit in places that are hot or humid, or that contain large quantities of dust or metallic dust.
21 9. LED Indica tor s The interface contains several different LED indicators, each of which convey s important information about the status of the unit and connected networks.
22 The Netw ork Access indicator is useful for confirming that a specific drive channel is being accessed correctly by the primary network, w hile the Drive Link indicator provides an easy method of determining that the interface and drive are successfully ex changing data, independent of primary network activity.
23 10. Internal Bat tery The ET H-100 interface has an internal battery that is used to backup the file system containing the unit configuration and point database information w hen the unit is unpowered. T his battery is designed to last the lifetime of the product under normal use.
24 11. Console A ccess The ET H-100 typically requires configuration prior to communicating on an Ethernet network. T his fundamental configuration is achieved via a tex t-based console interface, accessible over an RS232 serial channel and a telnet interface.
25 Figure 9 shows the “Connect T o” tab of the properties window for COM 1. Figure 10 shows the w indow that appears when “Configure” is selected in the “Connect To” tab.
26 Figure 10: Hy perTerminal Proper ties…Connect To…Configure Figure 11: Hy perTerminal Proper ties…Settings.
27 11.2 Telnet The console is also accessible via a T elnet interface for remote administration over Ethernet once the unit is communicating on the netw ork.
28 11.3 Command Overview The console provides standard access and configuration methods for the various netw ork parameters and configurations supported by the ETH- 100. The number and type of supported console commands may vary w ith different console version and application version firmw are.
29 Figure 14: "Set" Command O verv iew and Implementation Show: This command displays current configuration information. Some of this information (IP Address, Subnet Mask and G ateway) is configurable via the “set” command. The “Firmw are Version” field indicates the current application firmware v ersion of the ETH-100.
30 automatically adapt to the user’s selection, making the specific X modem protocol selection arbitrary. The first argument of the x modem command indicates the mode, and must be set to either “/c rc” for x modem CRC mode, or “/cs” for x modem checksum mode.
31 Figure 17: Hy perTerminal r eceive file dialog box W hen uploading a file, the procedure is similar to downloading. Enter “/u” instead of “/d” for the action parameter of the xmodem command.
32 12. Modb us T CP/IP The ET H-100 interface supports Schneider Electric’s Modbus T CP/IP protocol, release 1.0. The ET H-100 is conformance class 0 and partial class 1 compliant, and allows up to 8 simultaneous M odbus TCP/IP client connections (sockets).
33 A point’s pn number indicates the M odbus register number the point is accessed with. Similarly , a point’s sn number indicates the ASD register that the point refers to. Each ASD channel (A, B, and C) has its ow n independent list of points. A point’s value contains the value of the register referred to by its sn number.
34 network response latency times will be ex tended by the amount of time required to perform an on-demand ASD data transaction. As an example of this relationship, let’s say that we w ould like to access parameter “Acceleration Time #1” on an ASD connected to the ET H-100.
