INSTALLATIONS:
CLIMATIC CONDITION:
Temperature : -10°C~+40°C;
Umidity : 95%.
CONNECTING:
Take connecting the inverter of VDI100 for example:
Connecting
with VDI100
Connecting with PC
Figure 1: Connecting EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI with the inverter of VDI100
Connecting Power Supply
EXP-PDP-VDI module operates with a 24VDC / 80mA supply voltage (range
21.8V~26.2V).
User can use an external 24VDC / 80mA power.
①:
1A quick-blowing fuse, circuit-breaker or circuit pr ot ect or
②: Surge absorber
Notes:
1. EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI module port can connect directly with PC, which is applied to short-distance monitor.
2. EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI module port can connect with net work that will be in the same subn et as PC, shown as
figure 1 so that it can perform remote control.
3. Maximum cable lenght between EXP-TCPIP-BDI-VDI and drive = 5m
INSTALLING SOFTWARE:
1. Installing docu ment of XPortInstallerSetup.msi.
2. Installing docu ment of red32bit_3.1.0.1.exe.
Notes: These sw does not work with Windows 7 and later (Contact Gefran Sales Office).
After installing the above files, it requires to restart computer.
CONFIGURATIONS:
If you have correct connection following figure 1 and provide 24V power supply to EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI
module, you can see the orange LED light on the cover of EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI. It dis pla ys th at i t has the
power and you can find the lights on both sides of the port. Then, ta ke the st eps as the followings :

1. Xport Installer Instructions
(1). Click “START” “PROGRAM” “Xport Installer” “Xport Installer” and enter the user interface
of Lantronix Xport Installer 3.2, shown as figure 2:
Figure 2: User interface of Lantronix Xport Installer 3.2
(2). Click the icon of , then you can search for the I P address of EXP-TCPIP, shown as figure 3:
Figure 3: Searching for IP address of EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI
A. IP Address:
Each EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI will search out the unique IP address which will be in the same subnet as
PC and is the only one, different from other IP addresses.
B. Hardware Address:
Format: 00-20-4A-XX-XX-XX,“XX”presents the unique one.
(3). While you select the IP address, click the icon of and you can modify the IP address of
EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI.
For example: Modifying the following IP address to “10.128.19.12.”
Click “OK” and you succeed in modif icat ion of IP address. You search for IP again and y ou can find that IP
address has been changed to “10.128.19.12,” shown as figure 4.

Figure 4: Revised IP address
Notes: The revised IP address should be enabled, or you ca n not succeed in modifications.
(4). After you select the IP address, click the icon of Ping button displays t he information of IP,
shown as figure 5:
Figure 5: Display interface of Ping Device
Check if the IP address shown in the display interface of Ping Device is the only one and enabled for PC
network. If it is correct, click “Close.”
(5). Click “Port” at the right corner of the user interface of Lantronix Xport Installer 3.2 so it can display
the user interface of Port Collect ion Editor, shown as figure 6:
Figure 6: User interface of Port Collection Editor
In the user interface of Port Collection Editor, you can set parameters of Baud Rate member, Data Bits
member, Stop Bits member and etc. for situations of actual operations.
2. lantronix Instructions (under the conditions of Xport Installer searching f or enabled IP ad dr ess)
(1). Click“START” “PROGRAM” “lantronix” “Redirector” “Configuration” and enter
the user interface of Lantronix Redire ctor Configur ation, shown as figure 7:
Figure7: User interface of Lantronix Redirector Configuration

(2). Click”Com Setup” and enter the user interface of Com Setup, shown as figure 8. In this user
interface, set up 79 virtual serial ports of Com2- Com80 for PC. Com1 is the existing serial port of
PC so you can not set up virtual seri al p or ts. Select one or several serial ports and click “OK.”
Figure 8: User interface of Com Setup
(3). Click “Add IP” and enter the interface of IP Service Setup, shown as figure 9:
Figure 9: Interface of IP Service Setup
Host column is filled out the configured IP address of EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI.
TCPPort column is filled out”10001.”
(4). Click “Port Settings” and enter the interface of Port Setting, shown as figure 10. Select “Raw
Mode” and click “OK.”
Figure10: Interface of Port Settings
(5). Select “Silent Mode” in the user interface of Lant ronix Redirect or Confi gur ation. It can hide pop-up
window, shown as figure 11:
Figure 11: Selecting “Silent Mode”
(6). Click “Save” in the interface of Lantronix Redirector Configuration so as to keep the above

configurations. Then clic k “ Cl ose. ”
After completing the conf igurations of “Xport Installer” and ”lantronix,” the inverter can communicate
with the machine supporting RS485 communication protocol and monitor it.
A brief description of communication ways between EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI and VDI100-3110-...:
Wiring diagram is shown as the following:
1. Installing host com put er software and open it to establish new engineering of VDI100-3110-....
2. The communicating connection ways between EXP-TCPIP-BDI/VDI and VDI100-3110-... are virtual
COM port and TCPIP.
It requires selecting “Baud Rate,” “Parity Bit,” “Stop Bit” and “Station Number” according to the actual
parameter when commun icating co nnection s. It will succeed in con necting upon t he right selection. If the virtual
COM port unexpectedly can not be connected, you can apply the way of TCPIP connection first since it will be
self-configuration under the actua l cond it i on and then make the virtual COM port be connected.
