Using the LGRM-E

The LGRM-E is part of the Gateway family and
provides communication between a
workstation and a control module network
(CMnet) consisting of fewer than 100
modules. Up to 199 gateways can be
networked together on an LGnet, allowing
the LGRM-Es to route global information
between CMnets. While the LGRM-E supports
199 gateways, versions of SuperVision earlier
than 3.01 do not support more than 60
gateways.

The LGRM-E provides an Ethernet 10base-T
port for 10Mbps communication with the
LGnet. Two console ports that can be
connected to a workstation, portable
computer, or modem, an Auxiliary Device
Port (Keypad/Display Port), and an Access
Port are also provided.

Console Port 1 is a 9-pin EIA-232 connector.
Console Port 2 is a 5-pin terminal jumper.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol) is a family of protocols used
for computer communications. The LGRM-E
uses the UDP/IP (User Datagram Protocol/
Internet Protocol) of the TCP/IP family. The
workstation must be configured to

communicate with the LGRM-E over TCP/IP
as discussed in the document

Windows 95/NT and SVW 2.6

TCP/IP Setup for

(Part number

LGTCPIP).

The LGRM-E must use v6.00g or later of the
LEM module driver; for more information, see

LEM Module Driver

LGnet addressing

The LGRM-E has two rotary switches and a
DIP switch used to assign the LGRM-E’s
address. One rotary switch corresponds to the
tens digit and the other corresponds to the
ones digit. DIP switch six corresponds to the
100s digit.

NOTE

may not recognize an LGRM-E if the its
address is higher than 60. However, LGRM-Es
recognize peer gateways with addresses from

Revised 11/6/02 • LGRM-E 3 © 2002 Automated Logic Corporation

Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the LGRM-E’s power is off. The LGRM-E
only reads the address when the module is
turned on. After changing the address, you
must transfer memory to the module. Refer to
“Transferring Memory” on page 7.

Default mode

Use the following procedure to set the IP
address when using the Default mode:

1. Set the IP ADD DIP switch to Default.

2. Turn the LGRM-E’s power on.

IP Addressing

TCP/IP must be set up on the workstation
with an active IP address before configuring
the module’s IP address (refer to the

Setup for SuperVision Workstations Technical
Instructions

for a detailed procedure).

You can use a default IP address for the
LGRM-E that is created by the module, or
assign an IP address if required by the
customer. The IP ADD switch (Figure 2 on
page 3) determines which IP address is used.

• Default: When the IP ADD switch is set
to Default, the following IP networking
parameters are automatically set on the
LEM Parameter page:

IP Address = 192.168.168.XXX

XXX is the LGRM-E’s LGnet address (see
“LGnet addressing” on page 3).

Where x is the gateway’s address as
defined in “LGnet addressing” on page 3.

4. If using SuperVision v2.6, run Setup.exe
on the disk shipped with your LGRM-E.

This setup copies updated Portman files to
your emsys folder.

5. Configure the connection as Network in
SuperVision Plus v3.01 and later or
NetBIOS in SuperVision v2.6.

Assigned mode

Use the following procedure to set the IP
address when using the Assigned mode:

Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway Address =

19 2 . 168.168.254

NOTE

The default gateway address is
an intranet address. This means that the
data packets from this address are
dropped by all internet routers and are
not sent beyond the local network
segment.

• Assigned: When the IP ADD DIP switch
is set to Assigned, you must set the
above parameters on the LEM
Parameter page.

1. Obtain an IP address from the job site’s
Network Administrator.

2. Set the IP ADD DIP switch to Assigned.

3. If using SuperVision v2.6, edit your HOSTS
file to include the following line for each
gateway (see

Initializing the LGRM-E

Before the LGRM-E can communicate with
the CMnet or the workstation, you must
initialize it with the following information:

• The maxnet value, which is the total
number of modules on the CMnet
(including the LGRM-E) plus one. The
LGRM-E uses maxnet to determine
when to begin the token passing cycle
on the CMnet.

• If the workstation is connected to the
LGRM-E by modem, the workstation

Revised 11/6/02 • LGRM-E 6 © 2002 Automated Logic Corporation

telephone number from the SuperVision
connections page.

• The system’s line number.

• The three-letter system name.

Initialize the gateway module when:

• The LGRM-E is replaced or reformatted.

• A new module is added to the CMnet.

• The workstation phone number is
changed in SuperVision.

• The three-letter system name is
changed.

• The LGRM-E’s LGnet address is
changed.

To initialize the LGRM-E using SuperVision
v2.6 or earlier, issue the SETGCM manual
command. In SuperVision 3.0, navigate to the
LGRM-E’s module driver parameter page,
then choose the Tools - Troubleshooting ­Initialize Gateway command.

Transferring Memory

The LGRM-E uses the LEM module driver. No
other FBs can be added to the LGRM-E. If any
problems occur during this procedure,
contact Technical Support at [phone].

If you are transferring memory that includes
changing the module driver or its version
number, the transfer takes longer than
subsequent transfers.

1. Connect your workstation or portable
computer to the LGRM-E. Refer to
“Communicating with the Workstation” .

• To view the module status report in
SuperVision v2.6b, press the Esc key,

MO , , module address,15

type
and press Enter.

3. Transfer memory to the module.

• In SuperVision v3.0, click
Tools-Troubleshooting-Transfer
Memory to Module.

• In SuperVision v2.6b, choose Download
Memory for This Module.

4. When the memory transfer is finished,
check the module status report again.
Make sure the FB List on this page shows
all the FBs you intended to transfer.

Troubleshooting

Communicating with the Workstation

The LGRM-E has two console ports that can
connect to a workstation. Console ports can
connect directly to the workstation’s serial
ports or to a modem, through which you can
dial up the workstation. The Access Port must
connect to a workstation through an APT (see
Figure 6 on page 8).

Connecting Using the Console Ports

Use the wiring diagrams in Figure 7 on page 8
to connect Console Ports 1 and 2 to a
workstation or a modem. Use the diagram in
Figure 8 on page 9 to convert Console Port 2
from a 5-pin terminal connection to a 9-pin
EIA-232 port; this allows you to use the wiring

diagrams for Console Port 1.

2. Navigate to the module driver and look at
the module status report in SuperVision to
make sure the module type and number
agree with the module.

• To view the module status report in
SuperVision v3.0, click
Tools-Troubleshooting-Module Status.

Formatting the Module

When you are unable to communicate with a
module, you can, as a last resort, manually
format the module to try to restore
communication. Formatting the module
erases all memory, so you need to transfer
memory back to the module once it is
formatted.

1. Turn the module’s power off. Make sure
the module’s address switches are not set
to ‘0 0’.

2. Press and hold the Format button (see
Figure 1 on page 2 for location). While
continuing to hold the Format button, turn
the module’s power on.

3. Continue to hold the button until the Error
LED flashes three times in sync with the
Run LED.

4. Release the Format button.

5. Transfer memory to the module. Refer to
“Transferring Memory” on page 7.

LEDs

The LGRM-E has several LED indicators to
show the status of certain functions. Table 3
on page 10 explains the Run and Error LED
signals in detail to assist troubleshooting.
