This is the typical network connection. A LAN is operated with a server under the management of network administrators. The server assigns an IP address and other LAN parameters
to the PAV.
or a fixed IP address to the PAV.
P2P (peer-to-peer) network connection
This is a connection where the PAV and the PC are connected directly. The PC only connects
to the PAV, not to any other network.
In the factory default setting, the PAV automatically assigns its own IP address and other LAN
parameters. To return to the default settings, perform a LAN reset (p.14). In addition, if the PC
is configured for automatic IP address assignment, the PAV assigns an IP address to the PC.
For details on IP addresses, see “Displaying and changing the IP address .” (p.11).

LAN configuration 2. Network Connection
Control functions that can be used simultaneously with LAN
On a PAV with LAN, you can use local mode and external control simultaneously with LAN.
However, LAN cannot be used simultaneously with serial communication (USB/RS232/
RS485) remote mode. For the serial communication setup procedure, see the USB/RS232/
RS485 communication interface manual.
Local mode (front panel setup)
Even when connected to LAN, the PAV can be configured using the front panel knobs and
keys.
Switching to local mode
When the PAV is in LAN remote mode, the front panel REM LED is lit. Press REM to turn off
the REM LED and switch to local mode.
If the PAV does not switch to local mode even when you press REM, perform one of the following procedures.
Procedure (switching to local mode) Description
• Stop sending commands.
Press REM.
• SYSTem:REMote[:STAte] LOC/0
Send this command.
• Turn the POWER switch off and then back
on.
Press REM.
If the PAV continuously receives configuration change commands through LAN, the
PAV switches to remote mode each time it
receives a command.
The PAV may be set to local lockout mode
through LAN.
External control
Even when connected to LAN, you can control and monitor the PAV series using external
analog signals through the PAV’s J1 and J3 connectors.

LAN Connection
Starting a connection
A PAV with LAN automatically determines whether a network connection is available. Then, it
automatically detects a network server and receives an IP address assignment or assigns an
IP address to itself. Further, it sends its IP address and host name to other devices in the network.
You can connect the LAN cable regardless of whether the PAV is turned on or off.
Turn the POWER switch on.
1
The front panel voltmeter displays “LAn” for about 2 seconds. Then, the PAV proceeds as follows.
In safe start mode, “OFF” is displayed.
In auto start mode, the output is in the state that it was in immediately before the AC
input was turned off.
In a typical network (network server) connection
When the PAV rear panel LAN status indicator LED lights green about 10 seconds
later, the connection is complete.
In a P2P (peer-to-peer) network
When the PAV rear panel LAN status indicator LED lights green about 30 to 40 seconds later, the connection is complete.
When the PAV obtains an IP address, the LAN status indicator LED lights green.
You can check the IP address on the front panel.
If the LAN status indicator LED does not light green, see “Troubleshooting” (p.35).

Turn the CURRENT knob.
5
You can change the IP address.
Press the CURRENT knob.
6
The IP address is confirmed.
The voltmeter shows “LAn”, and the ammeter shows “HOLd” for about 1 second.
If the address that you want to assign is already used by another device, the front
panel LED blinks, and the address returns to the original value.
Press any key to stop the blinking.
• If you change the IP address from the front panel or by performing the procedure on the
Modify page on the Configure tab of the LAN page on the webpage, the PAV’s IP address
becomes static (fixed).
• In this case, address assignment through DHCP and auto IP are invalid.
IP address explained
Network connection is possible by assigning an IP address to the PAV. An IP address is a
group of four numbers delimited by periods. The following three modes are available for IP
address assignment: DHCP, auto IP, and static (fixed) IP.

Checking the host name
A host name is a text address used in place of a numerical address (e.g., PAV60-7-678).
You cannot view the host name from the PAV front panel. You can view and create a host
name from the webpage. (p.28)
For example, if you set the host name to “KIKUSUI,” you can send commands also to “KIKUSUI.”
After a LAN reset (p.14), the PAV is automatically assigned with a host name made up of a
combination of the model name and serial number.
Example:
Model name Serial number
PAV10-40 WITH LAN VJ000123 PAV10-40-123
PAV160-2.6 WITH LAN
1 <model><rated voltage>–<rated current>–<last three digits of the serial number>
The handling of the host name varies depending on the network connection. See the following table. When using host names for communication, assign unique host names to each
PAV.

Description
Up to 30 PAVs without LAN can be connected to a PAV with LAN. An IP address is assigned
to the PAV with LAN, and the other PAVs without LAN can connect to the LAN through the
PAV with LAN. This scheme is called multi-drop connection. (See the following figure.)
In a multi-drop connection, global commands can be applied to all PAVs connected through
RS485 link cables.
In a multi-drop connection, only a single controller (e.g., PC) can connect to the PAV with
LAN at any given time. Make sure it is a one-to-one connection.

Troubleshooting
The IP address cannot be set. The LAN status indicator LED is lit red.
Inspection Remedy
• Turn the PAV’s POWER switch
off and then back on.
Check that the voltmeter shows
“LAn” for a few seconds.
The IP address is all zeros. The LAN status indicator LED is lit red.
Inspection Remedy
• Check that the LAN cable is connected to a valid network.
• Two devices on the network may
be set to the same IP address.
If the PAV is in this condition, an
IP address cannot be assigned.
This may occur when the PAV is
in static (fixed) IP address mode
(p.11).
• If this does not appear, set the PAV to LAN remote mode.
(p.9)
• If IP1 to IP4 do not appear, LAN is disabled. Check that LAN
is selected. (p.9)
• Connect the LAN cable to a valid network. Wait a moment,
and display the IP address again. (p.11)
In auto IP mode, the IP address is generated within 30 seconds of turning on the POWER switch.
• IF the link LED on the rear panel is not lit green, the LAN
cable is not connected properly.
Perform either of the following remedies (1 or 2).
Remedy 1:
• Reset LAN from the front panel. (p.14)
The PAV obtains an address from a DHCP server on the network or generates an address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx subnet.
• If this subnet is different from the address, set an IP address
compatible with the network from the front panel. (p.11)
Remedy 2:
• Remove the LAN device with the same address from the network.
• Turn the front panel POWER switch on and then back on.
After 10 seconds, the PAV assigns a static (fixed) IP address.
Even when I click Refresh list on the webpage, slave PAVs are not detected.
Inspection Remedy
• Check that the master unit is connected to the LAN.
• Check that all slave units are set
to RS485.
• Check that all slave units have
unique addresses and that the
data rate (baudrate) is set to 57.6
kbps.
PAV L AN 35
• Connect the master unit to the LAN.
• Set all slave units to RS485.
• Assign unique addresses to all slave units, and set the data
rate (baudrate) to 57.6 kbps.
Page 36
Troubleshooting Appendix
Check that this is not selected.
The LAN status indicator LED is lit green, and the IP address can be verified from the
front panel, but the webpage cannot be opened, or communication using VISA or
socket is not possible.
Inspection Remedy
• Ping the PAV.
The Ping utility enables you to

sent on the network and whether
responses from the PAV can be
received.
• Check whether the ping was successful.
Using the Windows 7 command line:
• 1: Click the Start button.
• 2: Click Programs.
• 3: Click Accessories.
• 4: Click Run.
A Run window opens.
• 5: Enter “ping <IP address>”.
• 6: Click OK.
• If an error occurs, there may be a problem with the LAN set-
tings of the PAV or PC or both, or the PAV’s ping function may
be disabled. (p.30)
If an error occurs, perform a LAN reset on the PAV (p.14), and
send another ping.
The webpage cannot be opened over a P2P network.
Inspection Remedy
• If there is no gateway on the network, check whether the
browser’s proxy server setting is
disabled.
Open Microsoft Internet Explorer,
from the Tools menu, click Internet Options, Connections, LAN
settings, and check that the proxy server check box is not
selected.
The webpage cannot be opened from a PC or a PC with two LAN cards.
Inspection Remedy
• If you are using a PC with two
LAN cards, check that the IP
addresses are not overlapped.
• On a notebook PC, check
whether the Ethernet jack and
wireless LAN are being used
simultaneously.
• Disable the port that you are not using, or disconnect it. The
PC may not know which card to use to open the PAV’s webpage.
• Disable the wireless LAN port.

Driver Software
Control using a VISA driver
About VISA
Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA), which consists of a hardware driver, configuration utility, and connection manager, is one of the several typical frameworks used for testing and measurement in manufacturing sites.
VISA supports various types of bus communication. VISA drivers are already used in several
measuring instrument manufacturers. Programming languages that support Windows COM
or DLL libraries can call VISA functions.
Compatibility with VXI-11
VXI-11 is a protocol for connecting measuring instruments to a PC. VISA complies with VXI11 specifications.
The PAV is compatible with the VXI-11 protocol.
• VXI-11 Device_link: Starts a link with a measuring instrument.
• VXI-11 Device_write: Writes text in a measuring instrument.
• VXI-11 Device_read: Reads text from a measuring instrument.
• VXI-11 Destroy_link: Disconnects the link to a measuring instrument.
Starting a VISA connection
Using a VISA library, you can easily create test programs and auto control programs.
The VISA functions that the PAV supports include Open, Read, Write, and Close.
VISA resource assignment is written for each PAV. You can view the PAV LAN descriptor
from the PAV home page. The VISA resource uses the PAV’s IP address or host name.
Communication using VISA
The VISA write function sends SCPI commands to the PAV. The VISA read function reads the
responses of SCPI queries.
Example of PAV LAN VISA resource assignment:
Format: TCPIP[board]::IP address/Host Name[::LAN device name][::INSTR]
[board] is the LAN card number. “0” is optional.
The default value of [::LAN device name] is “inst0”.
[::INSTR] is optional.
Example: TCPIP::10.225.26.60::inst0::INSTR

Control using an IVI driver
About IVI
Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) contains specifications used to standardize measuring instrument drivers for testing and measurement in manufacturing sites. IVI is built on the
VISA hardware driver. IVI has an interface that most programming languages, such as .NET,
COM, and DLL libraries, can call in a standard manner.
The IVI instrument can be configured with a management utility such as National Instruments
Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) program or the Keysight Technologies I/O
Libraries. It is also possible to configure IVI using option parameters in a program.
The following advantages are available for system designers.
• To save time in learning commands for a new IVI instrument, common functions are
standardized. There is no need to learn SCPI commands for the PAV.
• Designers can run code in simulation mode even when instruments are not connected.
• Status check is performed automatically to see if the settings of each instrument will be
accepted.
• Wrappers allow easy connection to a variety of programming environments on Windows.
• IVI drivers are compatible. Instruments can be switched without changing the program.
IVI support
For information on IVI, visit the following website.
• Explanation for using IVI in various programming languages is provided in the “IVI Getting Started Guide” available at the IVI Foundation homepage.

Socket Communication
The PAV LAN VISA driver is a typical driver in the testing and measurement field. However,
you may not be able to use VISA due to installation or license issues or because the controller does not support VISA (e.g., industrial PLC).
If you cannot use the VISA driver, you can use the socket communication feature of the PAV.
Socket communication is a low-level LAN protocol available in most operating systems and
programming environments.
Communication using sockets
In socket communication, a connection is established through a socket, and SCPI text commands are exchanged through this socket.
The function that manages sockets in programming languages is called the TCP stack.
Two socket protocols are available: TCP (p.40) and UDP (p.40).
A port number is assigned to each socket.
Controller access (single or multiple clients)
Security settings can be applied to webpages to limit the number of PCs (clients) that connect
to the PAV at any given time.
The performance of webpages through the PAV LAN interface is affected by the number of
simultaneously used webpages, ports, and sockets. We recommend up to three simultaneous uses.
● Limitation to single and multiple clients
Item Single client Multiple clients
Multiple webpages can be

ging in, communication from
other devices are shut off.
Only a single VISA port can be
opened.
If a VISA or “admin” webpage is
not open, only a single TCP
socket can be opened. UDP
sockets are shut off.

Socket Communication Appendix
Input buffer request
In communication with a controller using a TCP or UDP socket, the PAV can receive commands continuously. The commands are processed one by one. To prevent the PAV internal
processing from overloading, design the controller so that it not only sends commands but
also queries from time to time to wait for responses from the PAV.
An acknowledge from the PAV signifies that the processing of all commands have been completed successfully.
When using a socket, keep the number of SCPI instruction commands from exceeding 20 for
every query.
Message terminator
When sending multiple SCPI commands through a TCP socket, the socket driver concatenates all messages in a single long packet. As such, add a terminator at the end of each
SCPI command.
Terminator (ASCII hexadecimal notation)
Commands from the controller Terminators are required.
• Line feed (0x0A)
• Carriage return (0x0D)
Responses from the PAV LAN Line feed (0x0A) and carriage return (0x0D) are
appended.
Using TCP sockets
TCP sockets are the most common type of sockets. It can be used to establish communication, check received messages, and detect and correct transmission errors. To send SCPI
commands, set the TCP socket port number to 8003.
A terminator consisting of a line feed and carriage return is appended automatically to
responses to queries.
If the LAN controller is set to Multiple clients from the webpage (set Controller Access on the
Modify page on the Configure tab of the LAN page to Multiple Clients) (p.29), up to three controllers can open TCP sockets on the corresponding PAV.
Using UDP sockets
UDP sockets are a simple type of socket with reduced network information. It is a connectionless protocol, which does not return acknowledges to received messages. To send SCPI
commands, set the UDP socket port number to 8005.
A terminator consisting of a line feed and carriage return is appended automatically to
responses to queries.
Before opening the UDP socket, open the webpage, and set Controller Access on the Modify
page on the Configure tab of the LAN page to Multiple Clients (p.29).
Up to three controllers can open UDP sockets on the corresponding PAV.

WAN Connection
To connect to the Wide Area Network (WAN: global internet), configure the network server as
follows.
Displaying webpages through WAN
PAV with LAN has a server (port number 80) for displaying webpages.
This port is used to connect to the Internet.
Ask your network administrator to assign a global IP address to the PAV with LAN. In addition, configure the port transfer setting of the network server’s port number 80 to allow a WAN
connection.
Socket connection through WAN
Ask your network administrator to assign a global IP address to the PAV with LAN. In addition, configure the port transfer setting of the network server’s port number 8003 for the TCP
socket and 8005 for the UDP socket to allow a WAN connection.

After sending the INSTrument:NSELect<address> command, send an INSTrument:NSELect? query or SYSTem:ERRor? query to check that the specified RS485 address is correct.
Command example
The PAV status that has been specified by INSTrument:NSELect <address> command is
valid even when a global command is sent until the address is changed.
INST:nSEL 4
:VOLT 50
GLOB:VOLT 70
(Wait 20 ms before sending the next command.)
:VOLT 90
After the command is sent, the output voltage setting of PAVs other than that with address 4
is 70 V.
The output voltage setting of the PAV with address 4 is 90 V. There is no need to send the
INSTrument:NSELect <address> command again.
Responses to global commands
When you send a global command, the command is applied to all PAVs in the multi-drop connection and the PAV with LAN.
As global commands cannot be used to control error and status registers, it must be performed for each PAV separately. Global commands do not comply with SCPI. For details on
global commands, see the USB/RS232/RS485 Communication Interface Manual.
Checking the responses
Check that when you send a SYSTem:ERRor? query to each PAV, none of them returns an
error message. PAVs that return error messages cannot respond to global commands.
Command transmission interval
After sending a global command, wait at least 20 ms before sending the next global command. If you want to send global command consecutively, allow at least 20 ms between each
global command. Otherwise, commands may not be accepted.
Query syntax
There is no query syntax for global commands. To check the settings of each PAV after sending a global command, you must select the PAV individually and query the settings.
