Web Configurator

The SureCross™ DX80 GatewayPro and DX83 Ethernet Bridge devices use an XML file to configure the network. To access the XML file, use any web browser and enter the device’s IP address into the browser’s address window:

http://192.168.0.1

The web configuration pages are arranged with a hierarchy of index tabs. The upper row of tabs is the top of the hierarchy and selects a broad topic. Top level tabs open related tabs on the next levels down. The middle tab selects a sub-topic, and the bottom tabs select individual pages within the sub-topic. The bottom of each page includes a Quick Help section listing usage tips or instructions specific to that page.

The XML file on any Ethernet Bridge or GatewayPro does not necessarily contain the settings for a specific wireless network. In many cases, the XML file saved in the Ethernet Bridge or GatewayPro is a default configuration file. Attaching the Ethernet Bridge or GatewayPro to the radio network does not automatically transfer network or device settings to the Ethernet Bridge or to the XML file.

When viewing real-time data returned to the browser by the connected device, the browser displays the data received when the page displayed. At this time, update data by clicking the Refresh button or the web browser’s Reload or Refresh button. Each time a page update is requested, new real-time data displays.

For more information on specific SureCross components, please refer to the data sheets for the SureCross devices:

• Gateways

• Line-Powered Nodes

• FlexPower™ Nodes

Logging into the Web Configurator

The SureCross™ Pro and DX83 Ethernet Bridge devices use an XML file to configure the network. To access the XML file, use any web browser set up for a direct connection to the Internet. If problems occur while connecting, verify the browser is not set to use a proxy server.

When connecting to the Ethernet Bridge, GatewayPro, or MultiHop Pro directly from a host computer, a crossover Ethernet cable is required; when connecting through a switch or Ethernet hub, use a standard Ethernet cable.

The factory default IP address for the devices is: 192.168.0.1.

To change the device’s default IP address, first set up the host PC with an IP address different from the Ethernet Bridge, GatewayPro, or MultiHop Pro IP addresses. (Please refer to Banner document 133116 for detailed instructions on setting up the host computer’s network IP address.) For example, change the PC host IP address to: 192.168.0.2.

After changing the host’s IP address, open a web browser and log into the Ethernet Bridge, GatewayPro, or MultiHop Pro by typing the IP address in the browser location window: http://192.168.0.1.

Parameters

The following parameters are set on the Configure Points screen.

Change If you leave any Web Configurator screen with-

out clicking the Change button to submit the changes to the Ethernet Bridge or GatewayPro, all changes are lost.

Delta The delta parameter defines the change re-

quired between sample points of an analog input before the analog input reports a new value. To turn off this option, set the Delta value to 0.

Default Output Condition Flags

The default output conditions are a set of checkboxes to establish device-based parameters and apply to all outputs on this device. After making changes to the flags, click the Send Flags button to submit the changes to the device.

Auto-Recover. Selecting the Auto-Recover option forces the Gateway to attempt to re-establish communications with out-of-sync nodes after a polling error condition is indicated. The Gateway polls the failing device and must successfully communicate with the failing node Re-Link Count times before the error condition is erased. This parameter is only used on the Gateway. Without the auto-recover feature selected, the user must manually reset error conditions or the host system must reset the error condition.

Gateway Link Failure. The Gateway detected a communication problem with a Node. All linked outputs of the failing device are set to the default states.

Prev and Next

Refresh

If there are more than 16 devices or rules/maps, use the Prev and Next buttons to display the next screen of information.

Click the Refresh button to refresh the screen image. This updates any information on the screen that may have changed on the device.

Report Interval/ Rate

The report rate defines how often the Node communicates the I/O status to the Gateway. Change of state reporting sets the system to report only when the value crosses the threshold setting. For FlexPower™ applications, setting the report rate to a slower rate extends the battery life.

Relink Count

The re-link count is the number of completed polling messages the Gateway receives from a Node before a lost RF link is considered re-established and normal operation resumes.

Reset The Reset button resets any error conditions dis-

played. Until the error message is reset, the device will not start any additional operations.

Sample Interval/ Rate

The sample interval, or rate, defines how often the SureCross device samples the input. For battery-powered applications, setting a slower rate extends the battery life.

Host Link Failure. A Modbus timeout forces all device outputs to the default states. This parameter applies to every device that sets this flag.

Node Link Failure. A Node detected an RF link problem and set its own outputs to the default states.

Out of Sync. When an out-of-sync condition is detected, all Node outputs are set to the default value. This parameter applies only to the Nodes.

Power Up. All device outputs are set to the default value on initial power-up.

Get Info The Get Info button retrieves factory informa-

tion for the selected device, such as the model

I/O Selection or Type

Select the I/O type from the drop-down list. The drop-down list includes all options available for the entire DX80 line. Not all I/O types included in the drop-down list are applicable for any given device. Refer to the device data sheet to determine which options are available for each device.

“Other” Type #: Occasionally some newly designed and released devices will use I/O types not yet listed in the drop-down list for I/O Type. When this happens, Banner Engineering applications engineers will supply the “other” type number. Select Other from the I/O Type drop-down list and enter the I/O type number supplied by Banner Engineering into this field.

Send Flags, Get Flags

Threshold and Hysteresis

The Send Flags and Get Flags buttons refer only to the Default Output Conditions flags, not the I/O parameters.

Threshold and hysteresis work together to establish the ON and OFF points of an analog input. The threshold defines a trigger point or reporting threshold (ON point) for a sensor input. The hysteresis value establishes how much below the active threshold (ON point) an analog input is required to be before the input is considered OFF. A typical hysteresis value is 10% to 20% of the unit’s range.

Maximum Bad Count

Polling Interval/ Rate

The max bad count refers to a user-established maximum count of consecutive failed polling attempts before the Gateway considers the RF link to have failed.

To monitor network health, the Gateway communicates with, or polls, each Node to determine if the radio link is active. The polling rate defines how often the Gateway communicates with each Node. Polling is always initiated by the Gateway and only verifies radio signal communications.

Expanded Configure Points

Most I/O point parameters are changed using the expanded view of the Configure Points tab.

rev. - www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 11

In the example shown graphically, the input is considered on at 15 mA. To consider the input off at 13 mA, set the hysteresis to 2 mA. The input will be considered off when the value is 2 mA less than the threshold.

Pulse Width

The pulse width determines the length of time, in seconds, that a digital output is active (1) before returning to zero. Select 0 to disable this feature.

In the example shown graphically, the input is

considered on at 15 mA. To consider the input

off at 13 mA, set the hysteresis to 2 mA. The in-

put will be considered off when the value is 2

mA less than the threshold.

Units Defined

The units parameter defines the range and/or type of data value associated with an input or output.

Selecting Units from within any configuration tool changes the units definition of several parameters, including threshold, hysteresis, and delta. For example, if the units are 0-20 mA, the threshold, hysteresis, and delta values are entered as milliampere values. Selecting Temp C changes the threshold, hysteresis, and delta units to degrees Celsius.

Signed values range from −32768 to +32767 and allow for the measurement of negative values. Signed values are typically used for measuring temperatures. Signed values are stored as two's complement values.

Unsigned values range from 0 to 65535 and are used to measure values that do not go below zero, such as 4 to 20 mA, distance, or a counter.

Packed Flag

Setting the Packed flag communicates discrete output point information more efficiently. Instead of sending one message for each output change, discrete values are packed into one message sent to the destination device. The packing data reduces the wireless device traffic and improves the timing in critical applications when multiple inputs from a single device are connected to outputs on one other device.

The Packed flag only affects the output point messages, the input message communication is defined by each device I/O point. If a device I/O point Report Type parameter is defined as discrete, the input reporting messages for this point are packed into one wireless message. For greatest efficiency, all discrete inputs should be defined as a discrete Report Type.

After power-up, the DX80 Gateway is a slave device (to the Ethernet Bridge) for the time defined in the Master Timeout field, defined in seconds with a 90 second minimum. During this time, the operating mode can be changed using the browser interface. To change the mode:

1. Click one of the radio buttons to select how the DX80 Gateway functions.

• Select Modbus/TCP Client/Server mode (default) when you are connecting a DX80 to an external PLC or similar equipment.

• Select Modbus RTU Master mode if the DX80 Gateway is to be a Modbus master device communicating to other slave devices using a Modbus RS485 serial connection. The Gateway enters master mode after the Master Timeout period has elapsed.

• Select Modbus RTU Slave if the DX80 GatewayPro or a Ethernet Bridge and Gateway pair is operating as a slave on a Modbus serial connection.

2. Set the Master Timeout field, then click the Change Mode button. When the timeout expires, the DX80 Gateway begins to operate as selected. The Master Timeout determines how long the DX80 Gateway waits before changing modes.

DX80 Gateway is Modbus RTU Master

When a DX80 Gateway is set up as a Modbus RTU master device, the communication between the DX83 Ethernet Bridge (used to configure the network) and the Gateway is ignored. The Gateway acts as the Modbus RTU master device for the system, which may include other slave Gateways or DX85 Remote I/O slave devices. All communication must go through the master device.

The master table entries define the register-to-register communication for remote I/O points. Each line represents a register/point connection between the master device and a Modbus slave device with up to 32 table entries possible. For each table entry, specify the local Modbus register, action to perform, type of external point, external register number, external slave number, and a Modbus timeout value for that register access. Active threshold and hysteresis are optional parameters that may be applied to registers.

Poll Timeout

The poll timeout refers to the time limit, in milliseconds, to communicate with a specific slave device. When this time limited is exceeded, the system begins communicating with the next device in the table. The Poll Timeout setting prevents the system from stopping when a slave device is not responding.

Threshold and Hysteresis

Threshold and hysteresis work together to establish the ON and OFF points of an analog input. The threshold defines a trigger point or reporting threshold (ON point) for a sensor input. The hysteresis value establishes how much below the active threshold (ON point) an analog input is required to be before the input is considered OFF. A typical hysteresis value is 10% to 20% of the unit’s range.

Access to 32-bit data, either 32-bit integer (double) or IEEE 754 floating point (float), is supported using two consecutive registers. Modbus protocol is inherently “big endian,” therefore Modbus defaults to having the high order register first for double and float formats. If the low order register comes first on the accessed device, check the Swapped box.

If you have Swapped incorrectly, check the data. When floating point data is reversed, a 1.0 becomes 2.2779508e-41, which rounds to zero. A floating point 1.1 becomes negative 107609184. If 32-bit integer data is reversed, 1 becomes

65536.

Unit (Optional)

The unit or device number is an optional parameter and used primarily for organizational purposes.

Client Read Map

Use the Client Read Map tables to create maps that read data from the Modbus/TCP devices defined in the Devices page.

Maps entered on the Client Read Map page only read data from remote devices. To write data to those devices, go to the Client Write Map page. For each remote register to be read, enter the register type, remote register format, register number, remote device, scale, and local register number.

Any parameters shown may be changed and submitted by clicking the Update button, but this screen displays only an abbreviated list of the map parameters. To view and/or modify the complete set of parameters, click on the hyperlinked map number in the left column and use the expanded Client Read Map page.

Prev and Next

If there are more than 16 devices or rules/ maps, use the Prev and Next buttons to display the next screen of information.

Local Register Number

After the remote register is read and the data multiplied by the scale factor, the data is written to the Local Register number.

Name The name is optional and used only for dis-

play purposes. The names are defined in the Devices page using the local name field.

Remote Device

Remote Register Format

The local names from the Devices tab are listed in this drop-down list.

Select the format of the remote register from integer, unsigned, double, float, or bit. An integer is a 16-bit (signed) number, an unsigned format is a 16-bit unsigned number, a double refers to a double precision (32-bit) value, a floating value is a floating point number, and a bit value is a single bit that can either be a 0 or a 1 (discrete value.)

Remote Register

The Remote Register entry is the register number being read in the mapping.

Number

Remote Type

Select a Remote Type from the following dropdown list: none, coil (output), discrete input, input register, or holding register. Banner Engineering’s SureCross™ slave devices use only input registers and holding registers. When using devices from other manufacturers, please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to determine what I/O types are used.

Server Map

The Server Map page sets up the register map for a virtual Modbus/TCP server, allowing a custom view of remote registers.

36 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 rev. -

SureCross Web Configurator

Use the Server Map page to set up a copy of various remote register data to a specific, unused block of Modbus registers. For example, copy the data in register 8 from all devices to a Modbus register block. This map is also referred to as the user map.

Bit Field and Fill. Defining the Bit field allows the compiling of register contents derived from multiple sources. The source data is limited to the number of bits represented in the bit field (a hexadecimal value) and is shifted into the position represented by ‘1’ bits in the field.

Fill bits are logically OR’ed into the result before the server presents the data. Consecutive server map entries that reference the same server address are OR’ed together and presented at that address. Duplicate map entries referencing the same server address but not listed in consecutive order following the first instance are skipped. No special bit field processing occurs if the bit field is set to zero. Bit fields apply to 16-bit integer or unsigned integer server registers only.

For example, a bit field entered as 00FF indicates a need for eight bits of the Local Register, mapped to the lower portion of the Mapped Register Number. A bit field of FF00 still indicates a need for the lower 8 bits of the Local Register, but mapped to the upper portion of the Mapped Register Number. For example:

Local Register Contents Bit Field Result Copied to Mapped Register

005A 0FF0 05A0

005A F0F0 00A0

005A 00FF 005A

005A FF00 5A00

1234 0F0F 0204

A second example is given below, using the Server Map screen.

The example screen image shows two local registers using the bit field to be copied to one mapped register. The result of the bit field mapping when register 17 contains 005A and register 18 contains 003C is to map the results, 3C5A to register 500.

The Custom Registers Enabled parameter controls how many maps are enabled and displayed.

Clicking the Delete button removes the rule or map number shown in the Rule # or Map # box. Clicking the Insert button inserts a new map ahead of the map number shown. It is not necessary to use the Insert button to add maps to the bottom of the list or to define any rule with None as the register type. To add a map/rule to the bottom of the list, increase the number of rules or maps enabled.

Enter the number of Modbus registers available in your customized register mapping and select the User Map Enabled checkbox to begin using a customized map. Select the Map is Exclusive checkbox if the access to registers outside this map is prohibited. If the Map is Exclusive checkbox is not selected, all local registers not overlapped by the custom map will be accessible to the remote client.

The Local Register Number is the source of the data.

Select the mapped register format: integer, unsigned, double, float, or bit. An integer is a 16bit (signed) number, an unsigned format is a 16-bit unsigned number, double refers to a double precision (32-bit) value, a floating value is a floating point number, and a bit value is a single bit that can either be a 0 or a 1 (discrete value.)

Optional fields, the Scale Factor and Offset value work together to convert register data. The source data is multiplied by the scale factor and added to the offset to produce the data in the mapped server register.

By default, double registers in the DX80 are “big endian;” the most significant bytes are in the first register and least significant bytes are in the second register. If remote clients accessing this server at this IP address expect “little endian,” select the Swap Double Registers checkbox. Modbus protocol by definition is “big endian” within each register, but the “endian” order of the registers for 32-bit values is less standardized.

Threshold rules trigger actions based on events. The event occurs when a source register meets the criteria defined by the rule. The result of the event can be setting another register to a value as indicated in the rule template, sending an e-mail notification, sending a text message to a cell phone, or logging an event or data to a log file.

Select a condition/qualification test by dropping down the list and selecting how to compare.

Selecting Changed By in the condition/qualification drop-down list selects a rate of change test. If the source register has changed by the value specified as the comparison fixed value or the value contained in the local register, the test is true. The minimum ON time on the following line applies. The test is true if the source register has changed by the specified amount in this time period. The ON time is used this way only for the Changed By test. Normally the ON time is used as previously described. The absolute value of the change found in the local register is tested, so the specified value (or delta) to test against should always be a positive number.

Clicking the Delete button removes the rule or map number shown in the Rule # or Map # box. Clicking the Insert button inserts a new map ahead of the map number shown. It is not necessary to use the Insert button to add maps to the bottom of the list or to define any rule with None as the register type. To add a map/rule to the bottom of the list, increase the number of rules or maps enabled.

The event name is optional and used only for display and/or identification purposes.

How hysteresis is applied depends on the comparison. If a greater than test returns a ‘true,’ the test does not return to false until the local register is less than the test value by a margin of at least this hysteresis value. If a less than test is ‘true,’ it will not return to false until the local register is greater than the test value by a margin of at least this hysteresis value.

Hysteresis ON and OFF Time

The hysteresis ON time and hysteresis OFF time, if specified, determine how long the condition must be true (ON time) or false (OFF time) before the true or false response is actually taken. Times are given in HH:MM:SS format (hours, minutes, seconds).

Local Destination Register

To define the response, select which local register, or destination register, to apply the response to. Typically the destination register links to an output. It isn’t necessary to apply the result to any destination register when only reporting the event via a trap or e-mail message. Leave the destination register set to zero and ignore the last two lines on the screen. The test result is processed as true or false without the destination register specified.

The first line after the local destination register number is the response when the condition is true, and the following line is the response when the condition is false. Either the source register is copied, a TRUE fixed value is applied, or another register is used to provide the data written to the destination register.

Source Register

To begin defining a new rule, enter in a source register.

Entering zero as a source register negates the rule even though it remains in the list until deleted. Unused rules at the end of the list always show zero as the source register. To prevent these from displaying, reduce the number of rules enabled. If the displayed rules are used and more are needed, increase the enabled number.

2. Select destination registers for the Average Register, Min Register, and Max Register, by entering unassigned register numbers in the supplied fields. Unassigned integer and floating point registers are listed at the bottom of the screen. To automatically assign the result registers, click the Auto Allocate button. The default starting registers are the first registers not allocated to I/O points.

3. Select how often to reset the statistics from the drop-down list. The reset values can be when logged, daily, or hourly. Selecting when logged resets the calculations when the values are logged to a file.

4. Enter the time period for the data sampling and the number of slices, or samples, within that time period.

5. Click the Update button to submit the changes.

When tracking any registers, the average, minimum and maximum registers must be assigned. Do not leave these values set to zero unless no registers are tracked.

The trend data is updated at the period entered and this period is divided into the number of slices, or samples. A sliding window average of this number of slices is maintained and this filtered value is processed as the trend data. The minimum data value is the average lowest value for each period sampled. The maximum data value is the average highest value over each period sampled.

All result registers for a given tracked register are reset when any one of the result registers is logged if when logged is selected for reset. However, all resets are performed after the entire log record has been compiled for the given log cycle to avoid logging partial results.

Enter the single destination register or a range of destination registers to copy the source register to. If no last destination register is entered, only a single destination register is used.

Do not use the same source register more than once in the cascade rules. To copy a register’s contents to multiple, non-consecutive registers, only use the primary source register once. To copy the same contents to additional registers, use the previous destination register as the second rule’s source register and ‘daisy-chain’ the register contents. For example, do not create three rules to copy register 5’s contents to register 6, 14, and 18. Instead, create one rule to copy register 5’s contents to register 6, a second rule to copy register 6’s contents to register 14, and a third rule to copy register 14’s contents to register 18.

If the Modbus and Telnet services are not used, disabling these ports improves network security. Disable these ports by entering zero as the port. The HTTP port cannot be disabled - if set to zero, it will revert back to the default value of 80.

To use domain names instead of a static IP address, supply the IP address of at least one DNS server (Static DNS1 or 2). The DNS server must be at a static IP address. These changes take effect immediately. Note: If you are using DHCP, set the Static DNS1 and DNS2 addresses to 0.0.0.0 because the DHCP supplies the DNS addresses.

The numbers shown to the right of the input windows are the actual numbers in the system. For example, entering an IP address of

255.255.255.255 causes the system to acquire a dynamic IP address via DHCP. The IP address shown to the right is the currently leased IP address. When DHCP is used, static DNS entries are ignored and the actual DNS entries provided by DHCP are shown.

When using a Dynamic DNS service to keep track of this device on the Internet, select the service type, enter the host name the service uses for this device, and enter the user name and password associated with the update service. Click the Apply DNS button to register this information. Save the configuration file to retain this data.

DDNS status should normally show OK or No update needed. It may show Local IP not checked yet for a short time after booting up. If it shows Tentative and a reply of nochg, an update was forced with no changes to actually register. Repeated nochg occurrences is regarded as abuse by the dynamic DNS service(s), and a third occurrence is treated as a local error condition.

SureCross Web Configurator

Any occurrence of a serious error puts the DDNS update in the Suspended state. If this occurs, resolve the problem and restart the system or click Reset DNS. DO NOT click Reset DNS without knowing the problem is resolved. Repeated attempts to update DNS inappropriately may result in your host name being blocked. Clicking Reset DNS results in an immediate IP verification and attempt to reupdate DNS. The DNS server considers repeated updates resulting in no change (nochg reply) to be abuse. Repeated IP verification (more frequently than once every 10 minutes) is also considered abuse.

Connection errors are internal network related errors and include:

• 2001 - General socket error

• 2005 - Could not reach local DNS to look up remote host

• 2006 - HTTP client aborted a web session

• < 200 - Unexpected network errors. Contact Banner Engineering if these errors occur.

Error messages that may be returned by the dynamic DNS service(s), noted as last reply, include:

• badauth - The user name and/or password does not match the host name

• nohost - The host name specified does not exist

• notfqdn - The host name is not a fully qualified domain name (not in the form of name.domain.com)

• !yours - The host name does exist, but not under the user name given

• abuse - The host name given is blocked for abuse.

Error messages returned by the dynamic DNS service(s) that require the attention of Banner Engineering include:

• badsys - The sycodestem is not valid

• badagent - The user agent is not specified or is blocked for non-conformance to specifications

• !donator - Invalid option specified

• numhost - Too many or too few hosts found

Error messages indicating a DDNS server error will be either dnserr or 911. In both cases, wait a minimum of one hour before restarting the system and/or contact the DDNS service to see when the problem will be resolved.

EtherNet/IP

By default the Ethernet Bridge and GatewayPro systems communicate with a host system using Modbus/TCP.

The system can also use EtherNet/IP. To enable the system to use EtherNet/IP, you must be logged in as the “root” user.

1. Log in using the following user name and password. User name: root; Password: sxi.

2. At the bottom of the System > Setup > Network page is a checkbox to enable EtherNet/IP. Only select this box if the GatewayPro system is running on an EtherNet/IP network. This change cannot be enabled from a login other than the “root” login.

3. After selecting the EtherNet/IP Enabled box, click the Set Ports button to save any changes made to the HTTP Port, Modbus Server Port, Telnet Port, and EtherNet/IP Enabled checkbox.

4. Cycle power to the Ethernet Bridge or GatewayPro to complete this update. After the device powers up, the changes should be registered.

Sequence Numbers

The Omron PLC requires using sequence numbers within the Ethernet/IP packets. When using an Omrom PLC, set the radio button selection at the bottom of the configuration page to "Always Increment."

Weekly Schedule

Use the Weekly Schedule page to manage weekly activities.

Before setting any schedules, verify the system’s time and date are accurately set in the System > Setup > Time and Date tab.

During the On Time, the On Value is applied to the given register. The remainder of the time, the register is set to the Off Value. The On and Off Values are applied once at the start of the On Time, when the system is rebooted, and when the system clock is changed (System > Setup > Time and Date screen).

Astronomical Clock

The astronomical clock will not work unless latitude, longitude, and time zone are set in the Time and Date tab.

To reference the astronomical clock instead of fixed time of day, enter DAWN or DUSK in place of the HH:MM:SS on and off times. An offset in minutes may also be included. To specify one half hour after sunrise, enter dawn+30. To specify one half hour before sunset, enter dusk-30, etc. Upper/lower case is ignored, but do not include any spaces in the dawn/dusk string.

Duplicating and Schedule

Instead of duplicating a schedule entry to activate multiple outputs, make a single schedule entry that applies to a single register then cascade that register to any number of other registers with cascade rules set up on the System > Action Rules > Cascade page.

Log Files

Use the Log Files page to select a directory location (RAM0 or FLASH0) and file name for the log file. The system allows a fixed number of log files. Use this page to assign a location and name to each log file used.

Log files are a CSV formatted text file with one line per data record. The first record is a header record naming all the registers contained in the subsequent records. All remaining records are a set of data points, one value per register selected on the Data Points page, per line in the file. Another line is added to the file for each logging of data per the rate set in the Log Files page.

Log files are saved to either RAM or FLASH memory. Log files stored in RAM are lost when the system power cycles. The RAM area is directory RAM0 with a capacity of 1000KB (1 Megabyte). The FLASH area is directory FLASH0 with a capacity of 256KB. This FLASH0 area is shared with configuration files and program files.

Resource Allocation

To avoid filling a log file and losing data, allocate the system resources. A new log file may be started daily, weekly, or when the existing data file reaches a specified size. When a log file is filled, have the data log file automatically e-mailed as an attachment or use FTP to retrieve the file. To have the completed log file automatically e-mailed, enter a recipient’s e-mail address (myname@myplace.com) and optional subject and message.

Discarding the Oldest Files

To automatically discard the oldest data logs when system resources are exhausted, check the discard oldest radio button. This discards the oldest file with the name shown in the File Name box. This rule applies independently for each log file rule set.

The specific rules for resource management are as follows:

If a file is full (i.e. its size setting is met), disregard the schedule, e-mail the file to the listed recipients, and request a new file. Until the file fills, check the schedule. If the log file should be e-mailed now because of daily schedule settings, e-mail the file and request a new file. The e-mail command only applies if e-mail is configured, but the new file request always applies.

When a new file is requested, check the discard oldest or stop logging setting. If discard oldest is selected, add up all log file sizes. If this much free space is not available, delete the oldest file with a name prefix matching the log configuration requesting a new file. If there is only one (or fewer) older file, revert to stop logging rules. If stop logging is selected (by configuration or by default), verify there is room for 50% of this file. If so, create the file. If not, disable this log.

Data Points

Use the Data Points page to select which local registers are logged by each of the available data loggers.

All the available local registers are listed on this page. Select the appropriate checkbox to include this data in one of the three log files.

Click the Send Test button to send a message to the defined recipient, testing the settings defined for the POP3/SNMP servers as well as the DNS server. The most common problem is usually the e-mail user and password setup or the system contact. Contact your network administrators for questions concerning access to outside providers.

Sample Message

An example of a default auto-generated message is:

• This is an automated e-mail alert originating from ‘Cooler System’ at ‘Winky’s Kitchen’ at 14:45:10 02/23/2006.

• The event named ‘Freezer Failure’ with a test criteria of ‘Greater than or equal to’ a value of 28.0000 tested true for register 44, ‘Freezer Temperature’ with a value of 33.0000.

• Additional comments are as follows:

• Somebody needs to call Chilly’s Freezer Service right away.

The equivalent auto-generated cell phone message is:

• Cooler System/Winky’s Kitchen/Freezer Temperature/33.0000=Freezer Failure

The “report on false” version of the sample auto-generated cell phone message is:

• Cooler System/Winky’s Kitchen/Freezer Temperature/27.0000#Freezer Failure

The true condition is indicated by (=) while the false or event resolved condition is indicated by (#) between value and event name. Only the first 30 characters of each name field are included in the message.

Error Codes

Error codes usually occur after briefly attempting to send an e-mail instead of right away. For a list of possible error codes indicated by “Status,” refer to Appendix B - Error Codes.

Events

All threshold rules defined under System > Action Rules > Thresholds are listed on the Events page.

E-mail notification may be selected for each threshold on the occurrence of a true, false, or both. Use the checkboxes to select which of the three recipients groups to notify. In the sample screen shot, e-mail recipient 1 will be notified when the system starts up.

Carefully evaluate analog data before enabling automatic e-mail generation. A threshold without hysteresis and/or minimum times may generate several e-mails per second when the measured parameter hovers near the threshold limit.

E-mail Acknowledgement. Selecting the Expect Ack checkbox allows the DX80 device to check incoming e-mail for a reply to the event notification e-mail. Replies must contain an acknowledgement code in the message. When the acknowledgement is received, e-mail repeating is cancelled to all recipients.

60 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 rev. -

SureCross Web Configurator

The expected acknowledgement code is included in the outgoing notification e-mail. A typical notification code may look like ! 08052012R1! and must be included in the reply in exactly the same form, including the exclamation points. Replying and sending the email from within the e-mail program is sufficient as long as the e-mail reply includes the original message.

Repeat Time. The Repeat Time is the rate at which the e-mail is repeated and is given as D,HH:MM for days,hours:minutes. There should be no embedded spaces between days and hours, only a comma. If set to zero, and a single 0 will suffice, repeating is disabled. E-mails are only repeated for Notify on True. Notify on False messages are not repeated unless the threshold rule goes true, then false again.

System Start-Up. Notification on System Start-Up is a pre-defined event and only repeats if Expect Ack is checked. If unacknowledged, it will not be repeated and the repeat time is disregarded.

E-mail Server

Before the DX80 devices can send e-mail, the e-mail server and account information must be entered in the E-mail Server page.

The information entered on this page represents the e-mail’s origin, not destination. The User Name refers to the account login name assigned to this Ethernet Bridge or GatewayPro device. The System Contact must be the e-mail name assigned to the account (for example, myemail@mycompany.com).

When using a DNS server on the Network tab, use Domain Names as shown in the example below. Otherwise, enter the IP addresses of the SMTP and POP3 servers. Click the Update button on that section of the screen. Fill in the System Name, System Location, and System Contact information. The System Contact MUST be the e-mail account name. Click the Update button on the lower section of the screen to submit the changes.

SMTP IP Address. The SMTP IP address is used if the SMTP server (outgoing e-mail) is at a static IP address. If the SMTP server is known only by domain name and its IP address may change, use the domain name and verify the Network tab uses a DNS server. Set

the IP address to zero if a domain name is used. If the IP Address is not zero, the IP address is used and the name ignored. A typical SMTP server domain name looks something like smtp.mycompany.com. The default SMTP port number is 25.

POP3. The POP3 IP address is used if the POP3 server (incoming e-mail) is at a static IP address. If the POP3 server is known by domain name, use the name instead and set the IP address to zero.

The system name and location are included in the default e-mail message to identify the e-mail’s origin.

The Virtual Terminal page acts as a simple debugging tool, emulating terminal I/O interaction with a BASIC program. Terminal I/O is discarded when the program auto-runs on startup.

Select the program file using the Script BASIC > Program File page. The file name displays next to the Start button. Start the program by clicking the Start button. While running, input typed into the input window is made available to the program when the Enter button is clicked. Click the Refresh button to update the output window with output generated by the program since the last time the Refresh button was clicked.

Use the Clear button to discard old output.

Note that the Enter and Refresh buttons both act as submit buttons. Input present in the input box is submitted when any button is clicked.

Basic Configuration Examples

Basic configuration of a SureCross™ I/O network begins with the RF Devices > Select Models page.

64 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 rev. -

SureCross Web Configurator

Use this page to select the type of devices and the device names. After making changes, go to the System > Setup > Config screen to save the settings displayed on the web pages to an XML file stored in flash memory.

Setting up the Devices

In the sample screen shown, two devices are set up in the network: a Gateway (device 0) and one Node (device 1). To define the devices:

1. Always set up the Gateway as device 0 and the Nodes as devices 1 through 15.

2. Select the correct model from the drop-down list as this determines which I/O types are available for use.

3. Optional: Enter a device name for each DX80 device. Giving the Gateway and Node unique names allows them to be easily identifiable in subsequent set-up screens.

4. Select the Change checkbox and click the Update button to submit changes to the Ethernet Bridge.

After defining the devices, but before modifying any settings on a configured network, select the Get ALL checkbox for all network devices and click the Update button. This retrieves all settings from the devices and displays them in the Web Configurator. Because sending or retrieving information from the DX80 devices can take several minutes, use the Check Status button to view the status of the data transfer.

Save these settings by going to System > Setup > Config File and clicking the Save or Save As button. This ensures that the configuration file contains the most recent information stored on the SureCross devices.

Configuring I/O

Use the Configure Points page to select the I/O type and settings for each SureCross™ device. The Configure Points page can be accessed using either the Configure Points tab or by clicking the device number in the left column of the Select Models page. Use the Prev and Next buttons to scroll through the devices.

In the sample shown, I/O points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are set up on the Gateway because this Gateway is a four discrete in, four discrete out, two analog in, and two analog out model. To define your device:

rev. - www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 65

SureCross Web Configurator

1. Select the I/O Enable checkbox. If the checkbox is not enabled, that I/O point is active and is ignored.

2. From the I/O Selection drop-down list, select the appropriate I/O configuration. Refer to the device data sheet to determine which discrete and which analog I/O points are active for a given device. (NPN and PNP settings for discrete I/O shown on the data sheet are default settings only and can be changed.)

3. Give the I/O points descriptive names to make future register configuration easier.

4. Because sample and reporting intervals apply only to inputs, only set the intervals for the inputs. Hysteresis, threshold, and delta values apply only to analog inputs.

5. Set the Polling Interval, Max Bad Count, and Re-link Count as needed.

a. The polling interval defines how often the Gateway polls each Node to verify the radio link is operating. A typical setting is 16

seconds.

b. The maximum bad count refers to the maximum count of consecutive failed polling attempts before the Gateway considers

the radio link to be broken. The failed polling attempts must be consecutive failed attempts.

c. The re-link count is the number of completed polling messages the Gateway receives back from a previously failed Node

before the radio link is re-established.

6. Set the default output conditions for each SureCross device. In the example shown, the default output conditions apply during a Node link failure or a Gateway link failure. Selecting the Auto-recover option sets the Gateway to auto-recover with out-of-sync Nodes by polling and successfully communicating with the failed Node four times (re-link count setting) before erasing the error condition.

Click the Get Info button to retrieve the device serial number, model number, product date, RF version, and other information that might be helpful for technical support.

For detailed definitions of all parameters on this and the expanded view screen, please refer to GUID-D1E8C0DC-4C97-449D-

B088-47E7B1E8C625.

Linking I/O

Use the I/O Linking page to establish input to output linking between devices. Our simple example uses a Gateway and only one Node. Notice that only the inputs are shown for any given device. Only inputs are mapped to another device’s outputs.

66 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 rev. -

SureCross Web Configurator

The Device # field shows which device is displayed. Use the Prev and Next buttons to scroll through the devices.

In the sample screens shown, device 0, I/O point 1 (Gateway Discrete IN 1) is mapped to device 1, I/O point 9 (Node Discrete OUT 1). Each of device 0’s input points 1, 2, 5, and 6 are mapped to the corresponding outputs on device 1. Similarly, device 1’s inputs 1, 2, 5, and 6 are mapped to device 0’s outputs 9, 10, 13, and 14.

Banner Engineering does not recommend linking multiple inputs to a single output on any SureCross device. The result will not be “Logic OR” of the multiple inputs; rather, the output will respond to any input state changes as they occur. This will result in unpredictable and/or undesirable network behavior.

After making changes to any screen, click the Change button to submit these changes to the Ethernet Bridge then click the Send button to submit the I/O linking changes to the DX80 radio devices. If you make changes to a page and leave the page without submitting those changes to the Ethernet Bridge, the changes are lost.

To save the changes to the XML file, go to the System > Setup > Config File page and click the Save button. Changes made by clicking an Update or Change button are temporary until the changes are saved permanently in the configuration file.

Link Timeouts

The Link Timeout parameters control how the wireless network devices behave during an RF communications failure.

rev. - www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 67

SureCross Web Configurator

A link timeout is a failure in the radio communications between the Gateway and a Node. A link is timed out when the Gateway has polled a Node and failed Maximum Bad Count times consecutively. In the sample shown, the Gateway must poll and fail to communicate with a Node seven times before the link is considered to be timed out.

A radio link is recovered when the Gateway polls and successfully communicates with the failed Node Re-link Count times before the Max Bad Count is reached. Successful communications do not have to be consecutive to reach the Re-link count number.

Set the Default Output Conditions checkboxes to establish when the default output conditions are applied.

• Auto-Recover. Selecting the auto-recover option forces the Gateway to attempt to re-establish communications with out-of-sync no-

des after a polling error condition is indicated. The Gateway polls the failed Node and must successfully communicate with the Node Re-Link Count times before the error condition is erased. This parameter is only used on the Gateway. Without the auto-recover feature selected, the user must manually reset error conditions or the host system must reset the error condition.

• Gateway Link Failure. The Gateway detected an RF communication problem with a Node. All outputs on other devices that are linked

to inputs on the failed device are set to the default states.

• Host Link Failure. A Modbus timeout forces all device outputs to the default states. This parameter applies to every device that sets

this flag.

• Node Link Failure. A Node detected an RF link problem and set its own outputs to the default states.

• Out of Sync. When an out-of-sync condition is detected, all Node outputs are set to the default value. This parameter applies only to

the Nodes.

• Power Up. All device outputs are set to the default value on initial power-up.

In the sample shown, the default output conditions are applied when the Gateway detects the failed link and when the Node detects the failed link. Also selected is the auto-recovery option.

To decrease the time to determine a link timeout, decrease the Polling Interval. Reducing the Max Bad Count parameter will also detect a link failure quicker, but will potentially cause more false time-out conditions.

To increase the time to determine a link timeout, increase the Polling Interval or the Max Bad Count. For radio networks extended to the limits of the transmission range, increasing the Max Bad Count may help reduce the link timeout errors.

Click the Send Flags button to submit changes to the flags to the devices. Use the Prev and Next buttons to scroll to the next SureCross™ device.

System Network Settings

Using the System > Setup > Network screen, set up the DX80 device by defining the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. Click on the Change IP button and reboot the system for the new IP settings to take effect.

68 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 rev. -

SureCross Web Configurator

1: The DX80 device IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.

2: When using an SMTP domain name in the e-mail setup page instead of an SMTP IP address, enter at least one static DNS server IP address. The DNS server addresses are supplied by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator.

3. Select a dynamic DNS service and enter in the device’s host name, the DDNS user name, and password.

DNS Server

To use domain names instead of a static IP address, supply the IP address of at least one DNS server (Static DNS1 or DNS2). The DNS server, at a static IP address, is a service that keeps track of every Internet domain name and what IP address is associated with each domain. Changes to the DNS server address take effect immediately.

DHCP

Set the IP address to 255.255.255.255 to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP address upon power-up. The IP address change takes effect on the next power cycle or when the Restart button is clicked on the Config File page. When using DHCP, set the DNS1 and DNS2 addresses to 0.0.0.0 because the DHCP supplies the DNS addresses.

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS allows the domain name data held in a name server to be updated when IP addresses change. For example, the Internet domain name www.bannerengineering.com can be assigned to a computer with a dynamic, or changing, IP address. Instead of every computer on the Internet tracking all IP address changes, a Dynamic DNS service tracks the changes and directs Internet traffic to the correct IP address. Most consumer ISPs use dynamic IP addresses. The Dynamic DNS settings are required when using a dynamic IP address for your connection to the Internet.

Reboot the system if the Change IP button was clicked.

Advanced Configuration

The following are some more advanced setup features and examples.

Thresholds

Thresholds are set to trigger actions based on events. The event occurs when a source register value meets criteria defined by a threshold rule. The result of the event can include setting another register to a specific value, sending an e-mail or text message notification, or logging an event or data to a log file.

Threshold rules are created using the System > Action Rules > Thresholds > Thresholds - Expanded View page. In the example shown, a threshold rule has been set up to track when Node 1’s I/O point 1 (Modbus register 17) is on. Node 1’s I/O point 1 is a discrete input wired to an on/off switch. Once saved, this threshold rule can be chosen as an event to log in the data log and event log pages (Ad- vanced > Data Logger).

After making changes to any screen, click the Update button to submit these changes to the device. Also go to the System > Setup > Config File page and click the Save or Save As buttons to save the configuration changes.

If you leave a page after making changes and have not submitted those changes to the device, the changes are lost.

Data and Event Logging

Event and data logging is defined using the Advanced > Data Logger pages.

Once the Data Logger tab is selected, there are four pages used to set up data and event logging:

Log Files. Sets up the event log and data log files. One event log and three data log files are available for logging. Use the Prev and Next buttons to move between the Event Log, Data Log 1, Data Log 2, and Data Log 3 set-up screens.

Data Points. Displays a list of the device registers. Select which registers to log to Data Log 1, Data Log 2, or Data Log 3.

Events Logged. Displays the list of events established in the System > Action Rules > Thresholds page. The events may be logged

when True or False.

File List. Displays the list of log files created.

Log Files

To set up a data log file, follow these steps:

1. From the Log Files page, select the file location (RAM0 or FLASH0) and enter a file name. The file name must be eight characters or less and the extension must be .txt. An example file name is DataLog1.txt. Files saved in RAM0 will be lost when the power cycles to the device. Files saved in FLASH0 are saved until they are deleted. The name entered in the File Name field is a prefix. The system appends this file name with a date and time stamp. When the first log file is filled, a second log file using the same prefix and a new date and time stamp is created.

2. Select the Enable Logging checkbox.

70 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 rev. -

SureCross Web Configurator

3. Enter in a log rate in the format of HH:MM:SS. For data logs, leaving the log rate set to zero disables logging. Because event logs trigger when an event occurs, the log rate is not used for event logs.

4. Select the criteria for beginning a new file. Choose between When Full, a specific day of the week, or Daily. Choose to begin a new file at a specific time or a specific file size. Once the file fills up, a new file is created.

5. Select the option to discard the oldest files with the listed file prefix or to stop logging completely when the system resources are filled. If the Discard Oldest option is selected, only the oldest files with the listed file prefix are deleted.

6. To e-mail the completed file, fill in an e-mail recipient and enter an optional subject and message.

7. Click the Update button to submit these changes to the SureCross™ device. After making any changes to a page, click the Update button to submit that data to the SureCross device. If you leave a page without clicking the Update button, the changes are lost.

8. Go to the Data Points page and select which registers to record to each data log file set up in the Log Files page. Use the Prev and Next buttons to move between network devices. Click the Update button to submit these changes to the SureCross device. The register names are taken from the I/O Names entered in the RF Devices > Configure Points page.

9. Go to the Events Logged page to select which events to log to the event log files set up in the Log Files page. Click the Update button to submit these changes to the SureCross device. The events listed are the events set up in the System > Action Rules > Thresholds page.

Once data logging begins, the log files are listed in the File List page. Click on the file name to view the text file contents. To save this text file, either right-click on the file link and select Save Link As or click on the file name to view it, then go to File, Save Page As. Use the browser’s Refresh button to show the latest entry or entries recorded into the Log file. To delete files, select the checkbox in front of the unnecessary files and click the Delete button.

The sample shown below depicts data logging occurring every five seconds with the data written to a data log file called DataLog1.txt. When this file is 2 Kb in size, a new file will be started. Because the data log files are written to the RAM0 area, these files are not saved when power cycles to the device.

The current file name is displayed on the top section of the screen, along with the current file size and the free space in the RAM0 area.

The File List page lists the log files created and stored in RAM. The file names begin with the file name entered in the Log Files page. The second part of the file name, shown below as ...20070815... is a date stamp indicating the date the file was first created. The last three digits, shown in the sample below as 2F9, are a hexidecimal representation of the minutes past midnight. Converted to decimal, 2F9 is 761, indicating this file was created 761 minutes past midnight on 15 Aug 2007, or at 12:41 pm.

Because the last three digits of the file name represent the time in minutes, set the maximum file size and log rate so that two files are not created within the same minute, causing an error -70 (Duplicate Directory Entry Error).

In the sample shown, 16 register entries logged every second to a maximum file size of 1 Kb fills up the file in less than a minute.

Scheduling

To schedule specific events or actions, use the Advanced > Scheduler pages. Use the Weekly Schedule page to manage weekly activities and the On Demand page to set up one time only events.

To exclude or include specific holidays from weekly events, set up the holidays in the list. In the screen shot shown, eight single-day holidays are set up to start one second after midnight and end one second before midnight that night. One two-day holiday, Thanksgiving, is included in the list.

Any holiday set up on the Holidays page may be included or excluded from the Weekly Schedule.

To set up a weekly schedule:

1. Select the checkbox for the days of the week this schedule is to be active.

2. Enter a start and end time (On Time and Off Time) in HH:MM:SS format.

3. Enter the register number to write the On or Off Values to.

4. Enter the On and Off Values.

5. To exclude or include holidays to this event, select the holiday and click the Add button to add it to the list.

6. Click the Exclude or Include button depending on if this holiday list is to be excluded from the weekly event or included.

7. When finished, click the Update button to submit these changes to the Ethernet Bridge or GatewayPro.

72 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 rev. -

SureCross Web Configurator

The screen shots shows a sample weekly event occurring Monday through Friday, excepting the specific holidays listed on the right. This event starts at 6:00 am and ends at 8:00 pm and writes a value of 0 during that time to register 121. During the off times, a value of 1 is written to register 121.

Register 121 controls an automated lock for the front door of a business that is typically open Monday through Friday from 6:00 am until 8:00 pm. These doors remain locked on Saturdays, Sundays, and any holiday in the list to the right occurring on the selected days.

An On Demand event is set up similarly, except that it occurs only once on a specified date.

Trending Data

Trending data calculates average, low, and high values within a specified time period. Use the System > Action Rules > Trending tab to set up statistical tracking of specific registers.

rev. - www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 73

SureCross Web Configurator

To track a register:

1. Enter the register number in the Tracked Register # field.

2. Select the destination registers for the calculated values using the unassigned registers listed at the bottom of the screen.

In the sample screen shown, register 1, Gateway IN 1, is tracked in one minute increments with 10 samples taken each minute. The resulting average value is stored in register 257. The minimum value for the minute is stored in register 258 and the maximum value in register 259.

As time passes, this register is continuously tracked and 10 sample values are acquired for each minute of operation. The average, minimum, and maximum values change with the additional information. As more time periods are sampled, the minimum and maximum values become averages of the lowest and highest values within each time period.

Scaling

Use the RF Devices > Scaling page to convert data stored in the I/O point register.

The converted data is written to the floating point register associated with that I/O point (see table below). Register values are multiplied by the Scale and added to the Offset to product the data written to the floating point registers.

One example of scaling is to convert thermocouple inputs into temperature readings. Thermocouple inputs are multiplied by 20 before being written to registers. To convert back to a temperature, enter 0.05 as the scale for that register. The value written to the floating point register for that I/O register is the temperature.

Floating Point Registers

The floating point registers associated with each I/O point are assigned based on the following equation: 1000 + I/O# × 2 − 1. For example,

E-mail Error Codes

E-mail error codes are listed in the following tables.

The missing recipient error should not occur because no send is attempted when no recipient is defined. The most likely error is a server error, referring to an error with the connection to the e-mail server. Check the SMTP address, e-mail login, and password.

E-mail error codes are positive or negative numbers depending on when the error occurs. If the error occurs in the e-mail client after the data logger creates the message, it is a negative code. If the message never got to the e-mail client, the error code is positive.

Positive Error Codes

Positive error codes are detected prior to the attempt to send the e-mail. These are detected primarily in preparation to send.

Other than a missing recipient address, the most common error code is (+15) NoDNSaddress. This error indicates the system could not find the mail server’s IP address using DNS host lookup. The nameserver might not be accessible or the host name is incorrect.

• 12: eSendMail_TooManyAttachment

• 13: eSendMail_ErrorSend

• 14: eSendMail_BodyFull

• 15: eSendMail_NoDNSaddress

Negative Error Codes

Negative error codes are detected after the send process has begun. The most common error code, (-13), has the least useful name (General Error). However, it often means the login name and/or password were not accepted by the mail server or they do not match the sender’s e-mail address. In general, it means the DX80 was unable to log into the mail server for any of a variety of possible reasons related to an invalid login or broken connection.

Error code (-9) occurs when there is an attempt to send an e-mail before the previous e-mail has completed the send process. Error code (-15) indicates the data log file that the DX80 was attempting to attach to an e-mail could not be accessed.

Floating Point Registers

The floating point registers associated with each I/O point are assigned based on the following equation: 1000 + I/O# × 2 − 1. For example:

I/O Point Floating Point Register

1 1001, 1002

2 1003, 1004

3 1005, 1006

4 1007, 1008

5 1009, 1010

Connection Status

Connection status displays a non-zero error code when a socket error occurs.

Possible errors include:

• 104. Connection reset by peer

• 111. Connection refused

• 113. Connection aborted

• 114. Network is unreachable

• 116. Connection timed out

• 118. Host is unreachable

• 119. Connection in progress (connect unsuccessful and still trying)

• 205. Could not get host IP by name

RTU and TCP Error Codes (A/B Format)

Error codes (A/B format) indicate the following errors with the first number:

1. n/a for RTU (Transaction ID out of sync)

2. Exception code returned by remote device

3. Function code mismatch (bad packet)

4. Insufficient data (bad packet)

5. No response from remote device, timed out

6. CRC error in received packet

When A is code 2, indicating an exception code was returned, B indicates the exception as follows:

1. Illegal function code

2. Illegal data address (the requested register does not exist in the device)

3. Illegal data value
