Connectors

Ethernet

Ethernet 100Base-Tx (10/100Mbit). When connected, the green “Link” LED at the connector lights up to indicate proper connection. When communicating, the yellow „Activity“ LED ﬂashes.

First start

First steps

Power

The green LED indicates that the device is powered. Upon request (and under a different product code), Damocles2 models other than 2404 can be also equipped with PoE (Power over Ethernet).

Inputs

INx – dry contact inputs. Inputs always share a common ground (GND). The corresponding

green LED indicates a closed contact.

Outputs

• Damocles2 MINI – OUTx – relay outputs with NO/NC contacts. When idle, NCx (Normally Closed) + COMx (Common) are connected. When activated, NOx (Normally Open) + COMx are connected. Yelow LED indicates an activated output.

• Damocles2 2404 – OUTx – relay outputs with NO/NC contacts. When idle, NCx (Normally Closed) + COMx (Common) are connected. When activated, NOx (Normally Open) + COMx are connected. Yelow LED indicates an activated output.

• Damocles2 1208 – open collector – semiconductor outputs with a common ground (GND), for controlling external switching elements. Yelow LED indicates an activated output. For more information, see Open Collector – Damocles2 1208 only.

Alarm/Setup LED

Red LED indicates device state: continuously on means Alarm (DI outside of the safe range), ﬂashing means TCP or Serial Setup mode.

DIP1/DIP2 switches

DIP1 – activates serial setup mode/restores factory defaults. To restore factory defaults, quickly

toggle the switch 3× within the ﬁrst 5 seconds after powering up the device.

DIP2 – safe mode – activates HW protection of conﬁguration settings. In Safe mode, parameters

cannot be changed (online demo).

1. Connecting the cables

• Turn the unit and note its MAC address that is printed on the label on the side.

• Set the switches: DIP1=Off, DIP2=Off.

• Connect the unit to the Ethernet (with a patch cable to a switch, cross-over cable to a PC), RJ-45 port.

• Plug the power adapter into an electricity outlet and connect it to the Damocles2 power connector.

• The green POWER LED lights up.

• If the Ethernet connection works properly, the LINK LED lights up after a short while, and then

ﬂashes whenever data are transferred (activity indication)

2. Conﬁguring the IP address – UDP Conﬁg

HWg Conﬁg utility – root directory of the supplied CD (Windows and Linux versions). Also available for download at www.HW-group.com -> Software -> UDP Conﬁg.

• Click the icon to launch HWg Conﬁg. The program automatically looks for connected devices.

• Automatic device discovery works only in the local network.

• Individual Damocles2 units are identiﬁed by their MAC addresses (on the label at the bottom).

• Double-click a MAC address to open a basic device conﬁguration dialog.

First steps First steps

3. Conﬁgure the network parameters

• IP address / HTTP port (80 by default)

• Network mask

• Gateway IP address for your network

• Device name (optional)

Click the Apply Changes button to save the settings.

4. WWW interface of the device

• To open the WWW interface of the device:

• Enter the device IP address in a web browser

• Click the IP address in UDP Conﬁg

• Click the underlined IP address in UDP SETUP

• The WWW page displays current status of the device and its digital inputs

Important

• To reset the device to factory defaults, toggle DIP1 several times within 5 seconds

after applying power to the device.

• No conﬁguration changes can be stored while DIP2=On. To change the IP address, set DIP2=Off.

Periodic Status Settings

• Periodical Status – when enabled, sends an e-mail with device status at the speciﬁed intervals. For example every 24 hours (1440 minutes).

• Alarm Reminder – when active, sends periodic reminders that the device is in the Alarm state. For example every 15 minutes.

To send e-mail, check:

1. Correct Gateway IP address

2. DNS server in the network settings

3. SMTP server and port

4. Authentication enabled, correct username andpassword

5. Spam ﬁlter for your mailbox is disabled

AutoPush

conﬁguration

Conﬁgures the communication with the portal using the HWg-Push protocol. Damocles2 is the active side and establishes the connection periodically and/or whenever a change in a sensor value exceeds the conﬁgured AutoPush value. Connection parameters for the www.SensDesk.com portal are pre-ﬁlled.

AutoPush conﬁguration

Whenever an input state changes, Damocles2 immediately connects to the portal and notiﬁes the DI change. (In case of sensors, the change must exceed the AutoPush value.) This conﬁguration only applies to the communication between Damocles2 and the online portal. Local alarm values are conﬁgured in the portal.

For portal connection, check:

1. Correct Gateway IP address

2. DNS server in network settings

3. Correct Server Address of the

portal

• Damocles2 notiﬁes alarm activation/deactivation for each DI.

• E-mail format cannot be changed, except that inputs may have custom names.

• Yellow background of the line with a sensor or an input means that the safe range is exceeded but alarm notiﬁcation is off.

Connecting the inputs

Output mode:

A) Manual – DO can be controlled using the Web interface or externally using M2M protocols. DO

cannot be used in “thermostat” mode – local condition.

B) Local Condition – DO cannot be controlled over the Web, it is controlled by a condition. DO is

read-only for all M2M protocols. Hysteresis in the sensor settings applies. In the Local Condition mode, outputs cannot be controlled over the WEB or using M2M protocols.

• On if any alarm – DO = On, if at least one input or sensor is in alarm.

• On if value equal to Trigger – DO = On, if the selected sensor reading is equal to the “Target Value”.

• On if value higher than Trigger – DO = On, if the selected sensor reading is higher than the “Target Value”.

• On if value lower than Trigger – DO = On, if the selected sensor reading is less than the “Target Value”.

• On if alarm on – DO = On when a particular sensor or input is in the Alarm state.

• Dependent On – sensor/input to which the condition applies.
