OVERVIEW
The CorDEX Instruments, MN4xx x series
of continuous monitoring cameras offer an
affordable and accurate means of continuously
monitoring temperature either as a standalone
unit, or a s part of a lar ger contro l system/
strategy.
The Cor DEX MN4xxx camera plat forms ar e
designed primarily with Industr y Control &
Monitoring in mind and as such, are provided
with the industr y standard communication
ability, MODBUS/TCP for communicating
with devices such as Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs).
The Cor DEX MN4xxx may b e installe d in a
stand alone or multi camera mo de, with each
camera i ncorpor ating a buil t in web ser ver for
basic se tup purposes which i s accessibl e via
a stand ard web bro wser using Ethernet /IP,
additional CorDEX PC Setup Sof tware is also
available for download.
CorDEX MNxx x cameras are also supplied
with PLC Function Blocks for popular brands.
These prewritten code blocks ar e designed
to drama ticall y reduce the amount of time
requir ed to integrate and MN 4xxx in to a PLC
programme by enabling programmers to
simply select a block and drop th e code into
the PL C ladder logic. Functio n Blocks are
continuously added to the CorDEX MN4xx x
website and include; Communications, Analysis
and Alarming blocks.

1
Remove the MN4000 from its packaging and place on
a flat surface, taking care not to scratch the lens.
2
Remove the three screws securing the Camera
Package to the Chassis.
3
Separate the Camera Package from the Chassis by
holding the Chassis communication bulge in one hand
and the Camera Package edge in the other hand then
gently but firmly pull apart.
4
Place the self-adhesive drilling template provided
into the desired location. Care should be taken to
ensure the rear of the panel is clear of ribs or other
obstructions prior to drilling.
5
Using the drill bit specified on the template (xxx), drill
the three fixing holes located around the perimeter.
6
Using an appropriate holes saw or punch, drill the
large (95mm/3¾”) centre hole.
7
Debur all rough edges and treat with rust inhibitor.
8
Align Chassis with mounting holes and attach using
three self-tapping screws provided, making sure to
advance the screws evenly.
9
Connect 11-30VDC to the green power connector
(provided) and attached to Chassis. There are three
connections.

All temperatures returned from the camera are

Any writes that change the DHCP, IP address,
Netmask, or Gateway configuration will also

USB Commands
The USB commands available to MN4xxx
cameras are as follows:
USB_MAC_ADDRESS, USB_ISOMINEN,
USB_ISOMAXEN, USB_ISOMIN,
USB_ISOMAX, USB_PALETTE, USB_UNITS,
USB_LED, USB_NAME, USB_SERIALNUM,
USB_VIEWMODE, USB_DHCP, USB_IP_ADDRESS,
USB_NETMASK, USB_GATEWAY, USB_ALARM
This command set is sufficient setup a MN4xxx
via USB prior to placing on the IP network.
IP Addressing
IP Address Allocation
This section describes the following:
• IP address allocation and discovery for
MN4100 which doesn’t have a display
(also can be used for MN4000)
• Networks without a DHCP server will
default to an IP address which can then
be set to a static IP address
The Following methods are used for IP address
allocation:
• Auto-Find: IP discovery program returns
the IP address allocated by the DHCP
server to each AW
• Manual configuration of static IP address
• Default static IP address (192.168.1.100)
The cameras will be shipped with following IP
address allocation as default
• MN4000 ship with DHCP Enabled
(non-static address),
• MN4100 Ship with static IP address of
192.168.1.100
Ip Addres s Discover y (Auto-F ind IP)
The units use the network DHCP server to
assign IP addresses. A discovery program is
used to return the local unit IP addresses.
For the case where there is no DHCP server
the unit will default to IP address 169.254.xx.xx,
where xx.xx is a randomly generated number.
The camera verifies this default IP address is
unique in the local network.
The auto-find will return this address.
Camera Identification (Host Name)
An auto-find is implemented using UDP
broadcast on port 46000 containing “MonitIR?”
The host name field that appears in the router
table is as follows:
• Auto-configured as Monitir_<processorU
ID>. The processorUID is a 64-bit number
• The DHCP client returns a hostname of
“MonitIR-“+(unique serial number)
• This can be used to identify any camera
in the table and will appear in the
broadcast response
• This can also be used with a unicast
address to obtain the same response
Information in the broadcast response is as
follows:
• Serial number: “Monitir”+(unique serial
number)
• MAC address
• Location ID (text)
• Instrument identification

Auto-Find Example
The example has a button and a list box as
follows:
• When the button is clicked function
button1_Click() is called that sends a UDP
broadcast on port 46000 containing
“MonitIR?”.
• The list box is populated with the replies
contents
This could be rejigged to suit a multithreading
app by using non-blocking calls instead of
using the ReceiveTimeout.

Parse the response as follows

Hardware version identifies the units as
MN4000 / MN4100 and reflects hardware
defined signals.
The hardware signals are PB[15:14] copied as
HWVersion[1:0]
