Overview

This Quick Start is intended to help you quickly set-up serial or Ethernet devices. with the DeviceMaster UP and EtherNet/IP, for example:
• Read-only devices such as barcode scanners and some RFID readers
• Read/write devices such as printers and some weigh scales

Installation Overview

Use the following steps to install the DeviceMaster UP.
1. C
ONNECT THE DEVICEMASTER UP to the network.
2. I
NSTALL PORTVISION DX from the CD or download and install the latest version.
3. C
ONFIGURE THE DEVICEMASTER UP network settings using PortVision DX.
4. Depending on the DeviceMaster UP model, do the following:
• Models without EtherNet/IP loaded, you must install the software assembly (.msi) from the CD or download and install the latest file, which contains the EtherNet/IP firmware and supporting files required for Step 5.
• Models with EtherNet/IP loaded on the DeviceMaster UP, you should check to see if a later version of EtherNet/IP is available for installation. Check the EtherNet/IP version in PortVision DX against the web site to see if a later version is available. Typically, you should download and install the latest .msi file and upload the latest version, which may include updates or enhancements.
Note: Models that have EtherNet/IP loaded on the DeviceMaster UP are identified in PortVision DX and

Configuring Read-Only Serial Devices

Prerequisites

Before you can configure the serial ports for read-only serial devices, make sure that you have done the following:
• Installed the hardware
• Installed PortVision DX
• Configured the DeviceMaster UP IP address using PortVision DX
• Uploaded the EtherNet/IP firmware (V3.x or higher) using PortVision DX
If you need to perform any of these procedures or locate the latest files, see

Embedded Web Page Configuration

Use the following procedure to configure read-only serial ports.
1. Access the Server Configuration web page by entering the DeviceMaster UP IP address in your web
browser or by highlighting the DeviceMaster UP in PortVision DX and clicking Webpage.
Note: If the browser does not display the web page correctly, clear the browser history and refresh the
DeviceMaster UP web page.
2. Click the Serial Device Configuration link.
Installation Overview on Page 5.

Configuring Read-Only Serial Devices
3. Click the appropriate Port N link to open the Edit Serial Port Configuration page.
4. Set up the Serial Configuration for the device that you plan on attaching to this port.
5. Set up the Serial Packet Identification.
a. Set STX (Start of
transmission) Rx Detect in decimal format.
b. Set ETX (End of
transmission) Rx Detect in decimal format.
c. Set the PLC specific
Strip Rx STX/ETX Chars setting if you do
not wish to receive the STX/ETX bytes in the received data packet.
Note: Refer to your serial device's User Manual for the Start and End of Transmission byte(s) value(s).
You may also be able to use the Serial Interface Logs page to determine these settings.

6. Set up the Ethernet/IP Settings. a. Set Rx (To PLC) Ethernet
Transfer Mode to Write-to-Tag/ File.
b. Set PLC IP Address in
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
c. If ControlLogix, set the PLC
Controller Slot Number. This
varies from zero to (max slot number –1), but must always be zero for CompactLogix. For example, if the PLC has seven slots, the slot number range would be zero to six. (This field is ignored for SLC/ PLC-5 PLCs.)
d. If necessary, change the Maximum PLC Update Rate (Write-To-Tag/File) in seconds. e. If necessary, change the Maximum Rx Data Packet Size in bytes. f. Set Oversized Rx Packet Handling to Truncate or Drop, depending on your environment. g. Set the Rx (To PLC) Produced Tag Name for the PLC type.
ControlLogix PLCs: Set the Rx (To PLC) Produced Tag Name to the name of the tag where you want the data placed. The tag must be an array of SINTs (bytes) large enough to hold the maximum sized data plus four bytes for the sequence number and length fields. The maximum size is 444 SINTs.

•Set(PLC-5/SLC) Rx MS Byte FirstifyouwishtoreceivedataMSbytefirst(lefttorightinintegerformat).
7. Set the Filtering/Data Extraction Configuration:
• If no filtering/data extraction is required, leave all filtering/data extraction settings to defaults.
• If filtering/data extraction is required, go to
Filtering/Data Extraction Configuration on Page 25.
8. Set the Application TCP Connection Configuration.
• If no application socket interface is required, leave all application socket interface settings at defaults
and verify that the Application Enable option is not selected.
• If an application socket interface is required, go to
Application Socket Configuration on Page 31.
9. Verify Reset Port and Save in Flash are selected and click Submit.
10. Optionally, save the settings in a configuration file using PortVision DX, which saves the network settings and the protocol settings. You can use configuration files to upload the settings to multiple DeviceMaster UPs or for restoration purposes.
a. In PortVision DX, right-click the DeviceMaster UP in the Device List pane (lower), and click
Configuration > Save.
b. Enter a file name for the configuration file (filename.dc) and click Save.
If all is set up correctly, the DeviceMaster UP places the data packets into the specified tag(s) or file locations. The first integer received is the sequence number. This is incremented with each new data packet. The next integer is the length, which indicates the number of bytes of data received. The rest is data.
