xSenso User Guide 14

2: Introduction

xSenso is a compact DIN-rail or wall mount solution that enables sensors with analog outputs (voltage or current) to easily and transparently send real-time data to any node on the network or over the Internet. xSenso is an ideal solution for remote monitoring and data logging of critical events in process control and automation applications. With its low port density, xSenso can be affordably installed in dispersed locations. In applications where analog sensors and controllers are used, xSenso can be configured to send alarms via emails or text messages when readings are outside predefined ranges. These alarms allow control engineers to take immediate corrective action when certain thresholds are met. Its embed ded web server makes it p ossible to monitor the input readings, chart or log the data using browsers on computers, smartphones, and tablets fr om anywhere in the world.

There are three Lantronix xSenso device servers:

 xSenso 2100 with two analog inputs (part number XSO210000-01-S)  xSenso 21A2 with two analog inputs and two analog output (part number XSO21A200-01-S)  xSenso 21R2 with two analog inputs and two relay outputs (part number XSO21R200-01-S)

Key Features

 Power Supply: 9-30 VDC input voltage (1 terminal screw block and 1 locking barrel jack,

where when both are used, may operate as red unda n cy an d fa ilover)

 Ethernet: 1 Port Ethernet 10Base-T or 100Base-TX (auto-sensing for speed, duplex and

cross-over CAT5 cable)

 Analog Inputs (All Models): 2 configurable analog inputs with available ranges: ±100mV,

±1V, ±10V or ±20mA

 Analog Outputs (xSenso 21A2): 2 configurable isolated analog outputs with available ranges:

0-10V, 0-20mA

 Relay Outputs (xSenso 21R2): 2 independently isolated mechanical form-C relays  Wireless:USB Ports: One 2.0 full speed USB port for device management and configuration  Temperature Range: Storage and operating temperature between -40° to +85°C

Note: UL-certified operating temperature is -40° to +7 5° C

xSenso User Guide 15

Figure 2-1 Sample xSenso Configuration

2: Introduction

Figure 2-1 is an example of how the xSenso can send sensor data (e.g., temperature a nd humidity

readings), over shared networks or the internet to a PC, laptop, or a smart phone. Third party data acquisition applications (e.g., DASYLab, LabVIEW or MATLAB) can also be interfaced with the xSenso to read and log the sensor’s data.

Applications

The xSenso device server connects analog sensors such as those listed below to Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family.

 Temperature Gauge  Environmental Data Sensors  Gas Monitoring Devices  Sensors measuring humidity, pressure, flow, level, force, weight and gas or air quality

Sample Applications

Figure 2-2 below demonstrates three sample xSenso applications:

1. A simple process control example consists of an analog pressure sensor on the input and an analog valve on the output.

2. Using xSenso 21A2 between the sensor and input of the controller would allow users to extract data right over the xSenso ethernet port. In this case, the xSenso can be configured to output the analog signals exactly as receives it on the analog input.

3. The xSenso 21A2 can actually replace the L egacy controller and control the process the exact way it used to be done.

SSL, TLS, RSS, UPnP, ICMP, BOOTP, DHCP, Auto IP, Telnet, SNTP, FTP, FTPS, DNS, TFTP, XML and Syslog for network communications and management.

 TFTP for uploading/downloading files.  FTP and HTTP/HTTPS web server for firmware upgrades and uploading/downloading files.  TCP/IP, UDP/IP, Telnet, SSH, SSL, TCP AES and UDP AES for command/response based

data acquisition application or alarm triggered connection

 HTTP/HTTPS web based monitoring of input readings, chart and data logging  SMTP AUTH, HTTP/HTTPS Post, FTP/FTPS Put and SNMP Traps for alarm triggered

notification

 SNTP for device clock synchronization

xSenso User Guide 17

Troubleshooting Capabilities

The xSenso offers a comprehensive diagnostic toolset that lets you troubleshoot problems quickly and easily. Available from the CLI or Web Manager, the diagnostic tools let you:

 View memory and IP socket information.  Perform ping and traceroute operations.  Conduct forward or reverse DNS lookup operations.  View all processes currently running on the xSenso, including CPU utilization.  View system log messages.

Configuration Methods

After installation, the xSenso requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for logging into the xSenso and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:

 Web Manager: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the

Lantronix Web Manager. (See “Configuration Using Web Manager” on page 42.)

2: Introduction

 DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on

the xSenso using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. You will need the latest version of DeviceInstaller. (See “Using DeviceInstaller” on page 40.)

 Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a

Telnet or SSH connection, or connecting a PC or other host running a terminal emulation program to the unit’s USB port. (See Configuration Using the MGMT (USB) Port below and the xSenso Command Reference Guide for instructions and available commands.)

 XML: The xSenso supports XML-based configuration and setup records that make device

configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a standard text or XML editor. (See the xSenso Command Reference Guide for instructions and commands.)

Configuration Using the MGMT (USB) Port

In order to configure and manage the device, connect the computer via USB cable to the xSenso MGMT port and run a terminal emulation program (e.g., Tera Term).

Note: Device connection will be lost upon reboot. Close the connection (also close

emulation program terminal if needed), unplug and plug in the USB port, and reopen the connection.

1. Install the USB device driver, as necessary. Connection to the MGMT port is via USB-CDC-ACM. This driver is available in Windows. In

order to enable Windows to recognize the USB- CDC-ACM connection to the L antronix device, the driver installation file referenced below needs to be provided when prompted by the Windows Device Driver Installation Wizard. For Windows 7 installation, it is recommended to manually install the driver before plugging in the USB cable to the xSenso device port. This can be done by installing a legacy driver for a COM port, with the Have Disk... option.

The device installation file (linux-cdc-acm.inf) may be accessed in one of two ways:

xSenso User Guide 18

2: Introduction

a. DeviceInstaller installation directory (typically at c:\Program File\Lantronix\Device

Installer\4.3).

b. Follow the instructions inAppendix E: USB-CDC-ACM Device Driver File for Windows

Hosts to create the .inf file and follow the windows driver installation steps as outlined

above.

2. Connect the USB cable to the MGMT (USB) port of the xSenso device.

3. Connect the USB cable from the xSenso to the USB port on your computer.

4. Apply power. If drivers are installed, a virtual com port will be created on the computer.

5. Launch an emulation program terminal (e.g., Tera Term) and select the virtual com port.

6. Open up the virtual com port. The serial setting should be 9600, 8, none, and 1.

7. Click OK.

8. Press Enter in the terminal window. You will be prompted to login.

9. Login to the xSenso to configure it. The default login and password:

- User Name: admin

- Password: PASS

xSenso Wiring Example

In Figure 2-3 below, there are two sensors connected to the inputs of the xSenso. One is the temperature sensor and the other is the humidity sensor. In this example, Relay 1 is associated with the temperature sensor and Relay 2 with the hu midi ty sensor. In Relay 1, the Norma lly Open (NO) pin allows the green light to stay on under normal operations. Once the Normally Closed (NC) pin is activated, the green light will be turned off and the red light will be turned on indicating an alarm condition. The threshhold ranges can be defined within the xSenso web interface. In Relay 2, a buzzer is connected to Normally Open (NO) pin and once the alarm condition is met, the relay will be closed and the buzzer will sound.

Reset Button

You can reset the xSenso to factory default settings, including clearing the network settings. The IP address, gateway, and netmask are set to 00s.

To reset the unit to factory defaults:

1. Place the end of a paper clip or similar object into the RST (reset) opening (see Figure 3-2) and press and hold down micro switch during a power cycle for a minimum of 25 seconds.

2. Remove the paper clip to release the button. The unit will continue the boot process restoring it back to the original factory default settings.

To reboot the unit without resetting the unit to factory defaults:

1. Place the end of a paper clip or similar object into the RST (reset) opening (see Figure 3-2) and press and hold down micro switch during a power cycle for 3 to 5 seconds.

2. Remove the paper clip to release the button. The unit will reboot.

Back Panel

On the xSenso back panel, there is a mounting bracket with a sliding orange clip which allows you to mount and dismount the device from a DIN rail, as shown in Figure 3-3. There are also four rubber feet that can be attached to the bottom-side of the device, if the xSenso is to be placed on a flat surface.

Installing the xSenso

Figure 3-7 xSenso Bottom/Back Panel View

Be sure to place or mount the device securely on a flat horizontal or vertical surface. The device comes with mounting brackets for mounting the device vertically, for example on a wall. If using AC power, avoid outlets controlled by a wall switch.

Observe the following guidelines when connecting the analog input devices:

 It is recommended to use twisted-pair wires to connect analog sensors and xSenso. If EMC is

a concern, shielded wires and/or ferrite bead may be used to improve signal integrity in noisy environment.

xSenso User Guide 26

3: Installation of xSenso

 Connect your RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port of the unit.  The xSenso supports a power range of 9 to 30 VDC. You can power up the device with barrel-

power connector and/or the 3 pin terminal connector for backup power supply.

Note: As soon as you plug the device into power, the device/sensors powers up

automatically, the self-test begins, and LEDs would indicate the device's status

Perform the following steps to install your device:

1. Connect analog xSenso to the analog input ports.

2. Hook up power excitations from xSenso to analog sensors/devices if needed and if xSenso meets the power requirement.

3. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the unit and your Ethernet network.

4. Connect the 9-30 VDC to the terminal block, barrel jack or both, and power on the xSenso.

5. Power up analog input devices/sensors if they are not powered by xSenso excitation.
