Operation
5.6.3 Communication via serial interfaces RS232 / RS485
The RS232 serial interface can be accessed from the rear (9-pin Sub-D socket).
Note!
It is not possible to use the RS232 and RS485 interface simultaneously. The desired interface type
must be selected in the setup under "Communication - Serial Interface".
Alternatively to the RS232 interface, the RS485 interface can be accessed from the rear of the unit.
Caution!
When using an RS232/RS485 converter, ensure that it supports automatic changeover between
"sending" and "receiving" (e.g. W+T type 86000).
5.6.4 Communication via modem
In principle, any modem with a complete AT command set can be used for data transfer between
your unit with RS232 interface and the supplied PC software.
!
!
Note!
An industrial modem with a watch dog is recommended (e.g. WESTERMO).
Modem at unit
The modem, which is later connected to the unit, must be initialized once with the provided PC
software (Extras - Preparing modem for unit). The modem is, therefore, connected to the PC with
its original cable (1:1 modem calble - normally enclosed with every modem).
Initialization must be carried out with the same data format (baudrate, data bits, parity) with which
the measuring unit works.
After successful initialization, the modem is connected to the unit with a special modem cable.
Only three cables (TxD, RxD, GND), and 2 bridges on modem side are required.
Cable assignment:
Note!
The modem's original cable cannot be used for this because the unit and the modem have the same
pin assignments at the interface plug.
Fig. 13: Modem cable assignment
Modem at PC
The modem, which works from the PC, does not have to be initialized. Connection to the PC is
made with the original modem cable (normally included with the modem).
The first connection to the receiver is made as follows:
• In the provided PC software, select "Display/change unit setup - Add new device"
• Select unit, set interface parameters manually (COM, baudrate, number of data bits, parity)
• Activate modem operation - set up modem
23
Operation
!
• Enter receiver's telephone number.
• OK
• Now enter the telephone number under which the unit connected by modem can be reached and
start the connection with "OK".
Fig. 14: Modem connection at unit and PC
5.6.5 Communication via Ethernet (TCP/IP)
In principle, all units equipped with an internal Ethernet interface can be integrated into a PC
network (TCP/IP Ethernet).
The unit(s) can be accessed by any of the PCs in the network using the provided PC software. There
is no need to install driver software ("COM redirection") on the PC because the provided PC
software has direct access to the Ethernet.
The system parameters "IP address", "Subnetmask" and "Gateway" are input directly at the unit.
Changes to the system parameters are not activated until the SETUP menu is closed and the settings
accepted. Only then will the unit work with the new settings.
Note!
It is not possible for several clients (PC) to communicate with a server (unit) at the same time. If a
second client (PC) tries to establish a connection, he receives an error message.
Ethernet commissioning
Before a connection can be established via the PC network, the system parameters in the unit must
be set via "Setup - Communication - Ethernet".
!
!
Note!
You can obtain the system parameters from your relevant network administrator.
The following system parameters must be set:
1. IP address
2. Subnetmask
3. Gateway
Note!
This menu does not appear unless the unit is equipped with an internal Ethernet interface.
24
Operation
5.6.6 Communication in the network via the provided PC software
After the unit has been configured and connected to the PC network, a connection to one of the
PCs in the network can be established.
The following steps are required for this:
1. Install the supplied PC software on the PC via which communication is to take place.
(see Section 5.6.1)
2. A new unit now has to be registered in the database. After the unit description has been input,
select how the unit settings are to be transferred. In this case, select Ethernet (TCP/IP).
Fig. 15: Registering a new unit in the PC database
Now enter the IP address. The port address is 8000.
The unit address set at the unit and the release code must also be set correctly here.
Fig. 16: Entering the IP address of the new unit
Confirm the entry with "Continue" and start the transfer with OK.
The connection is now established and the unit is saved in the unit database.
