The SeaMAX Suite is a collection of configuration/diagnostic utilities and software libraries that enable rapid application development. The SeaMAX API, included in the SeaMAX Suite, provides a common API for Sealevel eI/O and SeaDAC data acquisition modules. SeaMAX is designed to simplify application development by requiring little knowledge of the underlying communication protocols of these devices and replacing low-level programming. SeaMAX is available in an unmanaged library and a wrapper library that provides an interface to the API from managed code.
The following libraries and utilities are included in the SeaMAX Suite and are covered in this chapter:
MaxSSD Configuration & Diagnostics utility Ethernet Config utility SeaMAX API SeaMAX .NET API
The SeaMAX API documentation, installed with SeaMAX, explains the usage and API references, including function calls and enumerations. Sealevel digital and analog I/O modules supported by SeaMAX software are designed to work with third party applications via the SeaMAX API. To help simplify application development, the complete API documentation and code samples are automatically installed with the SeaMAX Suite and can be found in Windows by clicking Start All Programs Sealevel Systems SeaMAX Documentation. For convenience, Sealevel offers a PDF version of the SeaMAX manual on our website. Example code is also included for several popular languages and compilers.
Please contact Sealevel technical support with any questions regarding SeaMAX documentation: Phone: (864) 843-4343 Email: support@sealevel.com
Sealevel eI/O modules are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing Modbus/TCP networks. The supported command set will vary depending on the eI/O model number used. Specialized diagnostic commands and other RTU specific codes are not supported. An overview of the Modbus specification for TCP connections is covered in detail in the interactive documentation located on the Sealevel website at http://www.sealevel.com/software/SeaMAX/

The Sealevel Systems configuration utility, MaxSSD, is designed to simplify the installation, configuration, and diagnostics of Sealevel I/O modules. MaxSSD is a Microsoft Windows application and has been tested with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7.
When you run the MaxSSD utility (Start All Programs Sealevel Systems SeaMAX MaxSSD Configuration Utility) it will default to the “Host PC Configuration” tab. This tab allows
the user to choose the initial communication settings for the connected I/O device. The “COM Port” dropdown box allows the selection of a serial COM port (from COM1 to COM256), and
Ethernet (for Ethernet and Wireless Sealevel I/O modules).
To communicate with an eI/O module, select “ETHERNET” from the “COM Port” dropdown box. When Ethernet is selected, MaxSSD searches for any SeaI/O Ethernet or Wireless modules on the
network and displays their IP addresses in the “Available Ethernet Devices” list box (not shown).
When an IP address is selected from the list box, a socket is opened to the SeaI/O module and it is ready for communication.
If no IP address is shown when using Ethernet modules, review the previous Hardware Configuration section, or proceed to the Troubleshooting section at the end of this manual.
Page 22
eI/O Manual
22
Once the host computer is configured correctly, the “SeaI/O Configuration” tab becomes
available. Before communicating with an eI/O module, the configuration utility must determine if there is an I/O module, and if so, what type of module it is. This is the purpose of the Get operation.
The eI/O modules will respond to any Slave ID so just use the default.
Click the “Get SeaIO Module Settings” button. After a short delay, the information for that I/O module should be displayed. If no information appears, verify that the host settings are correct and make changes if necessary.
Page 23
eI/O Manual
23
After the Get command is executed, the “Module Description” frame will display the model type, description, firmware version number, interface, and I/O type. In the example shown, the module found at slave ID 1 is an eI/O-120 module with a PoE (Modbus TCP) interface
After a successful Get operation, additional tabs may be displayed in MaxSSD, depending on the device model found. These tabs display device I/O and allow easy configuration for all SeaMAX supported devices.
Page 24
eI/O Manual
24
The „Digital IO‟ tab of MaxSSD is displayed when using Sealevel I/O devices featuring discrete inputs and outputs. It displays the device‟s current input and/or output status in an intuitive
and usable manner.
When banks of inputs are displayed, the status LEDs update on each of the banks automatically. This allows you to actively monitor external signals.
With a bank of outputs, the output coils can be set using the buttons below each output LED. As each coil is set, the I/O module is read. The corresponding status LED in the „Digital IO‟ tab indicates the state of the coil. In the example below, an eI/O module with 4 optically isolated inputs and 4 Form C relays is shown.
Page 25
eI/O Manual
25
Following these simple steps can eliminate most common problems.
1. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install the device in your system.
2. Uninstall any previous versions of the SeaMAX software before installing any new
versions.
3. Install SeaMAX software before connecting any Sealevel I/O devices. Installing
the software places the necessary files in the proper locations on your system. After
installing the software, proceed with adding the hardware.
4. Confirm that all screw terminal connections are correct and secure and that the
correct cables are being used, including network cables (crossover vs. patch cables).
5. Use the MaxSSD utility, included on the software CD, to verify proper installation.
MaxSSD is designed to simplify the installation, configuration, and diagnostics of
Sealevel SeaI/O modules.
6. Refer to the Troubleshooting Ethernet eI/O Modules section on the following page

Problem: The eI/O module starts up with a strange IP address (i.e., 192.168.42.253).
All eI/O modules are shipped with enabled static IP address of 192.168.42.253. Also if the device is set to DHCP, and no DHCP server is available or the DHCP server cannot be reached, eI/O modules default to an IP address of 192.168.42.253. Change the PC‟s network settings to place both the eI/O module and PC on the same subnet. Adjust the eI/O module‟s IP address and Netmask using the Ethernet Config utility (Start All Programs Sealevel Systems SeaMAX Ethernet Configuration Tool) installed with SeaMAX. Then restore the PC‟s network settings.
Problem: The eI/O module is visible in Ethernet Config, but the network settings cannot be changed.
The eI/O module is most likely on a different subnet than the PC. The PC‟s IP address and Netmask must be altered to place both the eI/O module and the PC within the same subnet. Contact your network administrator for assistance.
Problem: The eI/O module doesn’t show up in Ethernet Config.
eI/O modules are discovered via a UDP broadcast. Verify that any firewall software, such as Windows Firewall, ZoneAlarm, etc., or router settings that would hinder UDP transmissions are disabled.
It is also possible that the eI/O module may not be discovered if the PC and module are on separate
subnets. This may occur if the module‟s IP address is configured outside the range of the PC‟s subnet. It can also occur during a failed DHCP discovery. In either case, the “Recover Module”
button in Ethernet Config utility may be used to recover the device. Refer to the Hardware Configuration section of this manual for more information.
Page 27
eI/O Manual
27
Verify that SeaMAX software has been installed successfully and that an eI/O module is connected directly to your computer using the yellow crossover cable supplied with your module. All eI/O modules are shipped with DHCP enabled. When you first connect an eI/O module to the network, the status LEDs on the front of the module will blink while it searches for a DHCP server. Once it receives an IP address, the status LEDs will remain on.
If no DHCP server is available, the eI/O module will default to a random IP address in the range
169.254.x.x. To discover the eI/O module‟s IP address, start the Ethernet Config utility (Start All Programs Sealevel Systems SeaMAX Ethernet Configuration Tool) installed with SeaMAX.
Click on the “Search for SeaI/O Devices” button and the „Available SeaI/O Devices‟ pane should refresh with any Ethernet or Wireless SeaI/O and any eI/O modules that are found on the network. Select one of the modules in the list by clicking on it. You can update the settings in the Device Network Settings pane and then confirm these changes by clicking the “Apply Changes” button. The module list should refresh, indicating that your changes were successful.
Start MaxSSD (Start All Programs Sealevel Systems SeaMAX MaxSSD Configuration Utility) and choose the correct IP address to communicate with the eI/O module. Ensure a successful Get operation (refer to the MaxSSD section of this manual for more information).
Page 28
eI/O Manual
28
An eI/O module may become no longer visible in the module list in the Ethernet Config utility if the eI/O module has been configured to use a different subnet than the host computer.
In other cases, the eI/O module doesn‟t appear in the module list due to a DHCP discovery
failure. In either case, clicking on the “Recover Module” button (see image on previous page) in
the Ethernet Config utility will bring up the “Module Reset” window shown below.
Before recovery begins, make certain that the PC and eI/O module are on the same network segment – they should be connected with an Ethernet crossover cable, through a hub, or through a non-routing switch. eI/O modules are shipped with an Ethernet patch cable (blue).
Next, select the IP Address of the network card your device is connected to from the dropdown labeled “Network Interface.”
Enter the MAC address found on the label on the bottom of the eI/O enclosure. A MAC address is made up of six pairs of hex digits separated by dashes (i.e., xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx). While entering the MAC address, the indicator to the right of the field will turn red if the MAC address entered is invalid. Once a MAC address is successfully entered, the indicator light will turn green and the “Network Settings” options will be enabled.
Contact your network administrator if you are unsure of the proper network settings to choose.
If a DHCP server is available, select the “Enable DHCP Configuration” checkbox. Otherwise,
complete the network settings and click the “Recover Module” button to complete the configuration changes.

Modules with version “2” or higher support several Advanced Features. You may determine the version of your SeaIO device using the MODBUS command FUNC_SEAMAX_GET_EXTENDED_INFO (0x66), using the SeaMAX method SM_GetDeviceConfig(), or by viewing the Module Description in MaxSSD, shown below.
In the event that a newer version of the firmware is available, it is possible to upgrade the firmware in the unit. This can be done through the same port that is used to do normal communications with the unit. The unit must be directly connected to the programming computer.
This will be a file with a name similar to your eI/O model number with an extension of “.hex”. As an example, it you have a eI/O 120 style module, the programming file name would be
“120.hex”. Please contact Tech Support to receive the latest version of the firmware.
The device‟s firmware can be upgraded in one of two ways. The first is through the command
prompt. The second, preferred method, is through the MaxSSD Configuration Utility.
To execute IOCU.exe from a command prompt, Click on Start, then click Run and type “cmd” (without the quotation marks and hit enter. You will then see a command prompt (ie. c:\documents and settings\name>). Once you are at the command prompt, browse to your SeaMAX folder. The default location is “C:\Program Files\Sealevel Systems\SeaMAX\”. Your *.hex file will need to be saved to this folder as well.
Page 30
eI/O Manual
30
Type
Cd “C:\Program Files\Sealevel Systems\SeaMAX\” and then press Enter
When the command calls for iii.iii.iii.iii you substitute the unit‟s IP address. Please do not enter the numbers with a leading zero. Therefore, if your IP address is 192.168.42.11, you will enter
192.168.42.11 and not 192.168.042.011. The command for this is therefore:
iocu /i=192.168.42.11 /a=247 120.hex
Once the unit has received the download request it will turn on the ACT light . Once the download starts, the ACT light will flash rapidly as data is downloaded. Once the download is complete, the ACT light will remain on while the device is reprogramming itself.The unit will then reboot itself to reload the new firmware. At this point, the ACT light will turn off.
The above should only be performed if you (1) really feel the update is required and (2) you feel confident in your ability to perform the update. Once the firmware has been erased, you must either be able to re-program it locally or send it back to SeaLevel Systems, Inc. for reprogramming.
To upgrade your firmware through MaxSSD, connect to your device normally, then go to the “Advanced” tab. At this point, you can use the “…” button to browse for the *.hex file you wish to update your device with.

Once the proper file has been selected, click on the “Flash Firmware” button.
At this point, SeaMAX will give you a warning dialog. If you click “OK” then MaxSSD will attempt to flash your device with new firmware. If you click on the “Cancel” button, no changes will be
made.
Clicking “OK” will result in IOCU.exe being run in a terminal window. Once the unit has received the download request it will turn on the ACT light. Once the download starts, the ACT light will flash rapidly as data is downloaded. Once the download is complete, the ACT light will remain on while the device is reprogramming itself.The unit will then reboot itself to reload the new firmware. At this point, the ACT light will turn off, and the terminal window will close. MaxSSD will return you to the Host PC Configuration tab.
Exercise caution when performing a firemware upgrade to ensure that the process does not get interrupted until the process completes. Once the firmware has been erased, you must either be able to re-program it locally or send it back to Sealevel Systems, Inc. for reprogramming.

Optically isolated inputs are arranged such that each pair shares a single common. The four I/O points and shared commons are connected via a six-position removable screw terminal. Input voltage range is 5-30VDC. Unlike the inputs, each Reed relay utilizes a single common and connects via a four-position removable screw terminal. Form C Relay outputs are arranged such that each relay has a common. The NC and NO contacts of two relays along with the commons are brought out via a six-position removable screw terminal.

eI/O modules ship ready for mounting on DIN rail. A small, rugged plastic (shown below) is included that naps onto 35mm DIN rail. This offers a clean installation by locating the I/O modules near the industrial control equipment on the DIN rail. Additionally, 3.5mm removable screw terminals allow for an easy and reliable connection method.
As an alternative to DIN rail, the versatile plastic clip includes mounting holes that allow eI/O modules to be mounted to walls, under counters, or inside panels. The plastic clip can be permanently mounted to a surface while still allowing the eI/O module to be easily removed for service or configuration changes.
eI/O modules are perfect for table or desktop use. The units ship with four rubber feet that help prevent the devices from sliding due to vibration and help protect surfaces from scratches. The small enclosures take up very little space.

A sudden electrostatic discharge can destroy sensitive components. Proper packaging and grounding rules must therefore be observed. Always take the following precautions:
Transport boards and cards in electrostatically secure containers or bags. Keep electrostatically sensitive components in their containers, until they arrive at an
electrostatically protected workplace.
Only touch electrostatically sensitive components when you are properly grounded. Store electrostatically sensitive components in protective packaging or on anti-static mats.
The following measures help to avoid electrostatic damages to the device:
Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected
to workplace as well as properly grounded tools and equipment.
Use antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection. Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their casing. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting
test equipment.
Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
Styrofoam.
Use field service tools such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners which are
conductive.
Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
