Welcome
Features
Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of a StationPortal. The StationPortal is an I/O device that
connects factory floor I/O to a server-based system, such as MES and SCADA, over
standard Ethernet. This eliminates the need for a complex and expensive PLC-based
architecture. Operators can use the built-in devices (horn and lamps) as well as plug I/O into
one of the available ports for control by a remote client.
StationPortal is shipped ready for use after a few simple configuration steps. Connect a
power cord that has a standard IEC 60320-C13. Also, connect a standard unshielded,
twisted-pair CAT 5 Ethernet cable between the StationPortal and a Server PC or Ethernet
switch to be able to communicate with your client application. Depending on your
requirements, you may connect and configure input/output devices (see page

Functional Compatibility
Clients: StationPortal is capable of communicating with a variety of clients. If Proficy*
HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY* software is to be used with StationPortal, version 8.0 or later is
required. The necessary software driver can be ordered on CD as IC647NS D0 00.

Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
The StationPortal unit can be installed on a wall or column.
Choosing a Mounting Location
The unit must be mounted on the flat surface of wall or column.
For adequate ventilation, allow at least 3 inches (76.2mm) of space between adjacent
equipment and all sides of the StationPortal. Ensure that specified conditions of
temperature and humidity are not exceeded.
Direct sun exposure may impose increased thermal loads on the StationPortal
leading to excessive temperatures. Cabinet design and orientation must be carefully
considered to avoid exceeding the operational temperature limits.
StationPortal does not have an enclosure suitable for outdoor use. For environmental
requirements, refer to page
Mounting Instructions
Note: Limit the number of times you remove and reinstall the unit. Too many installations
may damage the plastic enclosure.
1. Install two M3 screws at a horizontal distance of 3.937” (100mm) apart at the required
height.
2. Mount the StationPortal on the two screws using mounting tabs provided at the top of the
unit. Tighten the screws if required.

Page 11
Connecting a Power Supply
The StationPortal operates with 100–240V AC, 50–60 Hz input power with 0.3A RMS
maximum input current.
The StationPortal requires a power cord that has a standard IEC 60320-C13 plug.
Overcurrent Protection
StationPortal unit’s power supply provides overcurrent protection (including short circuits). If
an overcurrent condition occurs, the power supply continually tries to restart until the
overcurrent condition is removed. An internal fuse (FU1), which is rated for 250VAC at 1A, is
provided in the input line as a backup. The power supply usually trips and goes into retry
mode before the fuse blows. There is no additional indication if the power supply fuse blows.
The fuse is not user-replaceable.
Power Cord Retainer
A clip is provided on the StationPortal unit to provide retention for a few types of power cords.
Electrical Shock Hazard: To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment,
ensure that the power cord is disconnected from AC input power during the
installation of the power cord and power cord retainer clip.
Installation Instructions
Warning
Note: The clip provided with the StationPortal will work best with a power cord that has a
plug or cord strain relief extending up to 2.441 inches (62mm).

Detailed Operation
Detailed Operation
A StationPortal can communicate with only one client at a time. However, a single client can
communicate with multiple StationPortal devices. Although the number and types of devices
that each client can support will vary, Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY supports a native
interface to the StationPortal that acts as a client. Details on the number and types of devices
that a CIMPLICITY instance can support are described in the CIMPLICITY documentation.
The StationPortal I/O is natively addressable in the Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY control
and visualization product.
Communications Ports
Ethernet Port
The StationPortal unit provides a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (IEEE802.3) with an RJ45
connector on the bottom of the enclosure. An unshielded, twisted pair, UTP CAT 5 cable is
the minimum required.
LED indicators on the port indicate channel status.

24V Discrete Input Port
A 5-pin M12 type female connector mounted at the bottom of the enclosure accepts three
digital inputs from field. These inputs are optically isolated sink type inputs.
Pin 1 of this connector can be used as a +24V DC auxiliary power supply for input devices
and to power the DC input circuits. The combination of input circuit current and external
device current must not exceed 300 mA.
Input status LEDs (I1, I2, I3) on the front of the unit indicate the On/Off states of the inputs.

6 Set default state
for outputs
Set the default states that the outputs will assume if the StationPortal
is not in communication with a client.
For example, a lack of communications could be caused by the
Ethernet cable being removed from either end of an Ethernet
connection or upon initial device power-up.
Example: To select the following default states, enter 0123000.
Right Light – OFF
Left Light – ON
Top Light – Flash
Horn – Hold
OUTPUT1 – OFF
OUTPUT2 – OFF
OUTPUT3 – OFF
The factory default settings for StationPortal are to turn the Top Light
ON and all other outputs (horn, outputs 1-3, etc) off. Illuminating a
light when communication isn’t present allows the end-user to
distinguish between a loss of power and absence of communication.
Note:Do not enter “2” as the default state of the Field outputs
because they do not support Flash operation.
Note:While in this state,

communication can be established, the user’s application

default conditions will persist until the application does so.
Note:If the user has configured the default output state to “Hold
last state” and unit is power cycled, the Outputs will be
driven to “Off” state.
Note: If the user changes the default state of the output, the new

Note: StationPortal will send keep-alive probe messages if there is
no activity on the network for the time period specified by
this parameter. If there is no response to its first keep-alive
probe message, StationPortal will send subsequent keepalive probe messages every 1 second. StationPortal will
send a maximum of eight keep-alive probe messages on an
idle network after which it will close its TCP ports.
Note: A value of 0 indicates that keep-alive messages are
disabled. In such cases, StationPortal will not be able to
detect all communication losses. If communication loss isn’t
properly detected, the client may be unable to reconnect to
StationPortal. Thus, we recommend that a non-zero value
be specified.

The following table identifies possible causes and resulting StationPortal behavior for various
error conditions.
Communication Errors
Communication not
established
Logical Loss
Physical Loss Loss of carrier signal on the RJ-45
System Critical Errors
When the StationPortal encounters this type of error, it displays a two-digit blink code on the Top light
and stops communicating with the client. Unless stated otherwise, the values of other outputs are
determined by the user-defined default configuration.
Note:The displayed blink codes represent two digits as explain ed in the entries that follow. A blink is
accomplished by first illuminating the light for 500ms and then turning the light off for another
500ms. If the horn is configured for “blink/beep” state, it will sound as the Top light is on and
be silent while the Top light is off.
