Chapter 1 Introduction
The Hydronix Ethernet Ada pter pro vid es a simple method of network enabling Hydronix products. The
Adapter is a small DIN-r ail mounted unit that converts pack ets received over an Ethernet (TCP/IP)
network to RS485 or RS232. This enables a hos t PC elsewhere on the network to communicate with
sensors using Hydronix H ydro-Com software. Rem ote c onfiguratio n and contr ol o f a Hydro-Control VI
unit is also possible.
An option of using Po wer over Ethernet is available via a sec ond small DIN-rail m odule to eliminate
the need for a local 24V supply for the sensors.

the sensors and beside th e Ethernet Adapter, protected from water and ex cessive dust.
Connect the Ethernet dro p cable from the router to th e IN port of the Power Adap ter. This
cable carries both the po wer and the Ethernet communicat ions signals. Connect a short
Ethernet cable from the OUT port of the Power Adapter to the Ethernet port on the
Adapter. This cable carries only the Ethernet communications. Connect short insulated
wires from the 24V+ a nd 0V outputs of the Power Adapter to the 24V+ and 0V inputs of
the Ethernet Adapter, ensur ing that the wire is of sufficient power rating to carry the power
for the number of sensors connected.
Connect the RS485 sens or cable to th e Ethernet Ada pter outputs, tak ing care to not e the
recommendations in the RS485 Wiring Recommendations later in this chapter.
Sufficient ventilation and c ooling should be employed to keep the air temperatur e around

NOTE: Operation above these limits may cause premature failure of the unit.
1.2.2 Location of the Power Injector Module (EPI01)
The Power Injector Module (EPI01) should ideally be located in the computer room or
network cabinet close t o the router. Id entify which drop c able runs to the sens or location,
and using a short patch ca ble insert th e Power Injec tor into that c able, con necting the p ort
labelled IN to the r outer output and the port labelled OUT to the drop cable. Connect a
240V or 110V mains supply to the Power Injector.
Note: The Power Injector Module can supply sufficient power for up to three Hydronix
sensors (or 4 Hydro-Probe II sensors). If more sensors are to be connected to the network,
then a separate power suppl y local to the sensors should be used instead of the Power
over Ethernet solution.

2.2 RS-485 Wiring Recommendations
The performance and relia bility of a RS485 network can depend significantl y on the quality
and design of the wiring used. It is recommended to use 24AWG twisted pairs with a
characteristic impeda nce (Zo) of 100R – 120R. Ideally, s ensors on a RS485 network should
be connected in a daisy chain arrangement, as shown here:
This arrangement uses just one of the sets of sensor outputs on the Ethernet Adapter. In
practice, this arrangement is hard to achieve, so sensors may be wired using very short stubs:
Although the Ethernet Adapter has multiple sets of sensor outputs, wiring in a star
configuration with each sensor wired to an output set should be avoided if at all possible.
3 Indicator Lights
The Ethernet Power Adapter unit (EPA01) has a single red indicator light on the top, which
indicates that it is supp lying power. It must be connected to an Ethernet cable w ith an 802.11af
compliant Power Injector supplying it.
The Ethernet Adapter (EA01) has thr ee indicator lights on the top. The red indicator illum inates
when a suitable 24V supply is connected. The transmit indicator light blinks when data is
received by the Adapt er and is being se nt to the sensors. T he receive ind icator light blinks when
data is received from the sensors and is being sent over the Ethernet to the host system.
Additionally, the green indicator light above the network connector indicates that a network
connection has been establish ed, and the yellow indicator blinks when n etwork data is sent or
received
Page 19
Chapter 2 Connecting with Sensors
Hydronix Ethernet Adapter User Guide HD0333 Rev 2.1.0 19
4 Programming
An installation using the Et hernet Adapter packs the m essages sent from a Host to the Sensor
into an Ethernet data pac ket, which is then unpacked by the Ethernet Adapter a n d c on verte d i nto
RS485 voltage levels. If a custom application is being written to communicate with Hydronix
sensors over the Ethernet, then the H ydro-Link communications protoc ol should be implemented
and the resulting message string sent over the network to the Ethernet Adapter (instead of a
serial port). In Visual Basic (VB6) th is is don e usin g a W inSock control and in V isual Studio .N ET
this can either be done using a Sock ets control or a TCP Client control . A connection should b e
made from the Winsock or TCP Client control to port 10001 on the Adapter.
Further information on t hese controls can be found in the programming system documentation.
Although Hydronix is able to provide guidance they may be unable to give detailed technical
support for developing custom software applications.
Hydronix are currently developing a Class Library for .NET to implement all of the
communications functi onality including support for the Ethernet Adapter, which will be available
upon request. For details of this and more information on the Hydro-Link Communications
Protocol please contact Hydronix Technical Support ([email protected])

Chapter 3 Connecting with Hydro-Control VI
1 Introduction
The serial port of a Hydro-Contro l VI unit may be connected to the RS232 port of an Ethernet
Adapter to allow remote access to recipe configuration and mix logs.
This cannot be done while an Adapter is communicating with sensors, as a different
communications protocol is used. Ins tallat ion will be s im ilar to one of the options descr ibed in the
previous chapter, exc ep t th at the RS232 Tx, Rx and GND signals will be connected to the HydroControl VI unit.
2 Installation
Depending on the installation option chosen, the system should be set up as shown in the
diagrams below. Terminal identification for each module is shown later in this chapter.
In order to maintain compliance with th e relevant produc t directives, this e quipment should o nly
be installed and used with the approved components supplied by Hydronix. Unauthorized
modifications to these u nits could void the units com pliance and inval idate the us ers right to use
the equipment.

Chapter 4 Configuring the Ethernet Adapter
1 Ethernet Adapter defaults
By default, the Ethernet Adapt er will use an automatically genera ted IP Address, which will be
allocated by the network DHCP server. As this may change after a few days or weeks, it is
recommended that a fixed IP Address is used for the Ether net Adapter. The allocated address
should be on the same subnet as the address allocated by DHCP, but outside the range of
DHCP addresses. Contact the Network Administrator to find a suitable address.
2 Finding an Ethernet Adapter a ut omat ically
Communication with Hydronix sensors is carried out with the Hydro-Com Utility. To start go to the
Communications->T CP/IP menu in Hydro-Com and select “Search for Ethernet Adapters”.
The program will display a search window and query the network for any sensors attached.
The adapter will be added to the list, select it to connect.
Page 26
Configuring the Ethernet Adapter Chapter 4
26 Hydronix Ethernet Adapter User Guide HD0333 Rev 2.1.0
3 Adding an Ethernet Adapter manua lly
In order to manually enter an Eth ernet Adapter’s IP Address select Com munications->TCP/IP>Add Ethernet Adapter.
In the dialog that is shown, enter the IP Address and Port Number (usually 10001) of the
Ethernet Adapter
The adapter will be added to the list, select it to connect.
Page 27
Chapter 4 Configuring the Ethernet Adapter
Hydronix Ethernet Adapter User Guide HD0333 Rev 2.1.0 27
4 Changing the Ethernet Adapter IP Address
Once Hydro-com is connected to an Ethernet Adapter, go to the “Diagnostics” tab, login then
click on the button “Settings” in the Ethernet Adapter frame
To fix the IP Address, click on “Use fixed IP Address” and enter the IP
Address in the box provided. It is r ecommended to leave the Port Number
and Gateway set to the def aults. Click “Set” and t hen after the progress bar
has completed and the n ew inform ation has b een wri tten, click “Exit” to close
the dialog and go back to the main screen.
When a fixed IP Address h as been assigned, it is recomm ended to write the
address on the front of the Ethernet Adapter in the space provided.
5 Remote (Internet) Connection
Sensors connected to an Ethernet Adapter can also be accessed remotely over the In ternet. In
order to do this, it is necessary to open up a port in the Firewall of the networ k on which the
Ethernet Adapter is ins talled. Contact the Networ k Administrator for details of doing this. When
opening the Port, all incoming traffic to that port should be directed to the IP Address of the
Ethernet Adapter and port 1000 1. Make a note of the network’s IP Addres s on the Internet and
the number of the port opened up. The table below shows the settings used in this example:
Company Network Settings
Ethernet Adapter Settings
IP Address
Opened Port
IP Address
Port Number
123.456.78.901
7011
192.168.10.61
10001
Page 28
Configuring the Ethernet Adapter Chapter 4
28 Hydronix Ethernet Adapter User Guide HD0333 Rev 2.1.0
The port 7011 on the Firewall is opened up and all traffic to this port is forwarded to
192.168.10.61 port 10001.
If the Firewall does not allow a completely flexible conf iguration of port forwarding then either
open up port 10001 on the Firewall and leave the Ethernet Adapter port set as 10001, or
alternatively alter the port of the Ethernet Adapter to be the same
as the port opened in the Firewa ll. This is done b y entering th e new
value in the Port Number box when setting the fixed IP Address:
Certain port num bers are reserved for internal use by the Ethernet
Adapter and should not be used:
