Quick guide

RipEX2 is a widely configurable compact radio modem, more precisely a radio IP router. All you have to do to put it into operation is to connect it to an antenna and a power supply and configure it using a PC (tablet, smart phone) and a web browser.

Fig. 1: RipEX2 radio router

RipEX2 access is without default password: you have to set password for “admin” account.

Ethernet

RipEX2 default IP is 192.168.169.169/24, so set a static IP 192.168.169.x/24 on your PC, power on the RipEX2 and wait approximately 48 seconds for the RipEX2 OS to boot. Connect your PC to RipEX2s' ETH interface, start your browser and type https://192.168.169.169 in the address line.

Before attempting to do any configuration, make sure your RipEX2 is the only powered-up unit around. Since all units coming from factory share the same default settings ex-factory, you could be accessing a different unit over the air without being aware of it.

USB/ETH adapter

When accessing over the optional “XA” USB/ETH adapter, your PC will get its IP settings from the builtin DHCP server and you have to type https://10.9.8.7 in your browser. You do not need to worry about other RipEX2'es, you will be connected to the local unit in all cases.

Quick guide

Wifi adapter

When accessing over the optional “W1” Wifi adapter, connect your PC (tablet, smart phone) to the RipEX2 Wifi AP first. Its default SSID is “RipEX2 + Unit name + S/N”

Your PC will get its IP settings from the built-in DHCP server and you have to type http://10.9.8.7 in your browser. Remaining steps are the same and you do not need to worry about other RipEX2'es, since you will be connected to the local unit in all cases.

SCADA radio network step-by-step

Building a reliable radio network for a SCADA system may not be that simple, even when you use such a versatile and easy-to-operate device as the RipEX2 radio modem. The following step-by-step checklist can help you to keep this process fast and efficient.

1. Design your network to ensure RF signal levels meet system requirements.

2. Calculate and estimate the network throughput and response times when loaded by your application.

Perform a bench-test with 3-5 sets of RipEX2's and SCADA equipment (Chapter 3, Step-by-step guide).

Design the addressing and routing scheme of the network (RipEX App notes1and RipEX App notes-

Address planning2)

5. Preconfigure all RipEX2's (follow the SW manual).

6. Install individual sites

Mount RipEX2 into cabinet (Section 4.1, “Mounting”).

Install antenna (Section 4.2, “Antenna installation”).

Install feed line (Section 4.3, “Antenna feed line”).

Ensure proper grounding (Section 4.4, “Grounding”).

Run cables and plug-in all connectors except from the SCADA equipment (Section 1.2, “Con- nectors”)

6. Apply power supply to RipEX2.

7. Test radio link quality (follow the SW manual).

8. Check routing by the ping tool (follow the SW manual) to verify accessibility of all IP addresses with which the unit will communicate.

9. Connect the SCADA equipment (follow the SW manual).

7. Test your application

SLEEP INPUT

SLEEP INPUT is the digital input for activating the Sleep mode. When this pin is grounded (for example when connected to pin

3), the RipEX2 switches into the Sleep mode. Using Power management (Advanced Config.), the Entering the Sleep mode can be delayed by a set time. Disconnecting SLEEP INPUT from GND (-) ends the Sleep mode. Note that RipEX2 takes 48 seconds to wake up from the Sleep mode.

SLEEP INPUT can be also used for the wake-up from the Save state. For details see chapter (Advanced Config., Power manage- ment)

HW ALARM INPUT

HW ALARM INPUT is a digital input. If grounded (e.g. by connecting to PIN 3), an external alarm is triggered. This alarm can be used for example to transmit information using SNMP Notification, informing for instance about a power outage or RTU problem. For details about Alarm management see chapter Advanced Configuration.

HW ALARM OUTPUT

HW ALARM OUTPUT is a digital output. It can be activated in Alarm management settings, chapter Advanced Configuration. It may be used for instance to inform the connected RTU about a RipEX2 alarm or about the Unit ready status. If an alarm is triggered, HW ALARM OUTPUT is internally connected to GND. If the external device requires connection to positive terminal of the power supply, PIN 4 should be used.

POWER

The POWER pins labelled + and - serve to connect a power supply 10–30 VDC. The requirements for a power supply are defined in and Chapter 8, Technical parameters [48].

1.2.4. ETH5 (SFP)

ETH5 is a standard SFP slot for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet SFP modules, user exchangeable. Both fibre optic and metallic Ethernet SFP modules are supported. For optical both single and dual mode fibre optics Ethernet modules (= 2 or 1 fibers) can be used. CSFP modules are not supported. RACOM offers all mentioned types of SFP modules, tested to be RipEX2 compatible as a standard accessory.

The SFP status LED is located just next to the slot. It is controlled by SFP module. Its function is specific for each SFP module. The typical behavior is an indication the received signal from the fibre optic or metallic link to be within operational range.

Important

Fig. 1.9: SFP slot

It is strongly recommended to use a high quality SFP module with industry temperature range. The SFP modules listed in Accessories are thoroughly tested by RACOM and are guaranteed to function with RipEX2 units. It is possible to use any other SFP module, but RACOM cannot guarantee they will be completely compatible with RipEX2 units.

3. Step-by-step guide

3.1. Connecting the hardware

Before installing a RipEX2 network in the field, a bench-test should be performed in the lab. The RipEX2 Demo case is great for this as it contains everything necessary: 3 RipEX2’s, Power supply, dummy load antennas, etc.

If you use your own installation for lab tests, don’t forget:

• A dummy load or an actual antenna with 50 ohm impedance should be connected to the RipEX2

• The minimum RF output must be set to avoid overloading the dummy antenna and to keep the received signal at reasonable level, between -40 and -80 dBm.

• The power supplies must meet the requirements given in the specifications. Make sure the power supplies do not generate interference in the radio channel and that they can handle very fast changes in the load when RipEX2 switches from reception to transmission and back.

Bench test connection possibilities:

Step-by-step guide

Fig. 3.6: 3. Connecting to a PC over ETH/USB adapter.

1. PC connected via Wifi adapter

We recommend using the "W1" - external Wifi adapter (an optional accessory of the RipEX2). Connect your PC or tablet or smart phone to RipEX2 Wifi AP first. Its default SSID is “RipEX2 + Unit name + S/N”. The W1 contains a built-in DHCP server, so if you have a DHCP client in your PC (as most users do), you don’t need to set anything up. The RipEX2’s IP address for access over the ETH/USB adapter is fixed: 10.9.8.7.

Go to Login to RipEX.

2. PC connected via ETH/USB adapter

We recommend using the "XA" - external ETH/USB adapter (an optional accessory of the RipEX2). The ETH/USB contains a built-in DHCP server, so if you have a DHCP client in your PC as most users, you don’t need to set anything up. The RipEX2’s IP address for access over the ETH/USB adapter is fixed: 10.9.8.7.

Go to Login to RipEX.

3. PC connected directly to ETH port

Set a static IP address in PC, example for Windows XP:

Start > Settings > Network & Internet >Ethernet > Change adapter options > Ethernet (right click)

> Properties > Protocol IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties > Use the following IP address: IP address 192.168.169.169 - for RipEX in the default state Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Default gateway leave empty

Important

When you change the RipEX2 ETH address from the default value later on and the new IP network does not include the default one, you will have to change your PC's static IP again to be able to continue configuring the RipEX2.

4. Login to RipEX2

Start a web browser (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer - JavaScript enabled) on your PC and type the RipEX’s default IP in the address line default IP address in the address line field:

• 10.9.8.7 – when connected via external ETH/USB or Wifi adapter. IP address 10.9.8.7 is fixed

and cannot be changed; it is independent of the IP address of the RipEX’s Ethernet interface.)

• 192.168.169.169 – when connected directly to ETH

Step-by-step guide

Note

https - For security reasons the http protocol with ssl encryption can be used for the com-

munication between the PC and RipEX. The https protocol requires a security certificate. You must install this certificate into your web browser (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer). The first time you connect to the RipEX, your computer will ask you for authorisation to import the certificate into your computer. The certificate is signed by the certification authority Racom s.r.o. It meets all security regulations and you need not be concerned about importing it into your computer. Confirm the import with all warnings and exceptions that your browser may display during installation.

Warning: Before you start any configuration, make sure only one unit is powered ON. Otherwise, a different radio modem could reply to your requests! (All units share the same IP address and are in Bridge mode when in factory settings.)

5. IP address unknown

If you don’t have the adapter or you have forgotten the password, you can reset the access parameters to defaults, see Section 1.2.9, “HW button”.

3.4. Basic setup

For the first functionality test we recommend that you use the setup wizard. The wizard will guide you

through basic functionality setup. Simply select Wizard in the web interface and proceed according to

the information on the screen. Repeat for all RipEX’s in the test network.

If you want to test applications which require a more complex setup, see ???. To setup the IP addresses

you can use the examples in Appendix A, Abbreviations [75] as your models, or the RipEX-App. notes,

Address planing1.

3.5. Functional test

To test radio communication between the RipEX’s you can use the Ping test, under Diagnostic/Ping

menu. Setting up and the output of this test are described in chapter Adv. Conf., Tools.

If the radio communication between RipEX’s is functional, you can proceed with a test of communication

between the connected devices.

You can monitor the status of configuration using the diodes on the LED panel, see Appendix A, Ab-

breviations [75].

4.1. Mounting

4.1.1. DIN rail mounting

The radio modem RipEX2 is directly mounted using clips to the DIN rail. The mounting can be done lengthwise (recommended) or widthwise; in both cases with the RipEX2 lying flat. The choice is made by mounting the clips, one M4 screw per clip. RipEX2 is delivered with two clips, two screws and four threaded holes. Only use the M4×5 mm screws that are supplied.

Fig. 4.1: Flat lengthwise mounting to DIN rail – recommended

Fig. 4.2: Flat widthwise mounting to DIN rail

When tightening the screw on the clip, leave a 0,5 mm gap between the clip and the washer.

Installation

4.1.3. IP52 mounting

To meet IP52 protection requirements RipEX2 unit must be physically installed with the connectors facing downward.

4.2. Antenna installation

The type of antenna best suited for the individual sites of your network depends on the layout of the network and your requirements for signal level at each site. Proper network planning, including field signal measurements, should decide antenna types in the whole network. The plan will also determine what type of mast or pole should be used, where it should be located and where the antenna should be directed to.

The antenna pole or mast should be chosen with respect to antenna dimensions and weight, to ensure adequate stability. Follow the antenna manufacturer’s instructions during installation.

The antenna should never be installed close to potential sources of interference, especially electronic devices like computers or switching power supplies. A typical example of totally wrong placement is mount a whip antenna directly on top of the box containing all the industrial equipment which is supposed to communicate via RipEX2, including all power supplies.

Additional safety recommendations

Only qualified personnel with authorization to work at heights are entitled to install antennas on masts, roofs and walls of buildings. Do not install the antenna in the vicinity of electrical lines. The antenna and brackets should not come into contact with electrical wiring at any time.

The antenna and cables are electrical conductors. During installation electrostatic charges may build up which may lead to injury. During installation or repair work all open metal parts must be temporarily grounded.

The antenna and antenna feed line must be grounded at all times.

Do not mount the antenna in windy or rainy conditions or during a storm, or if the area is covered with snow or ice. Do not touch the antenna, antenna brackets or conductors during a storm.

4.3. Antenna feed line

The antenna feed line should be chosen so that its attenuation does not exceed 3 to 6 dB as a rule of thumb. Use 50 Ω impedance cables only.

The shorter the feed line, the better. If RipEX2 is installed close to antenna, the data cable can be replaced by an Ethernet cable for other protocols utilizing the serial port, see Advanced Configuration, Terminal server. This arrangement is recommended especially when the feed line would be very long otherwise (more than 15 meters) or the link is expected to operate with low fading margin.

Always follow the installation recommendations provided by the cable manufacturer (bend radius, etc.). Use suitable connectors and install them diligently. Poorly attached connectors increase interference and can cause link instability.

RipEX2 Radio modem & Router – © RACOM s.r.o.42

Installation

4.4. Grounding

To minimize the odds of the transceiver and the connected equipment receiving any damage, a safety ground (NEC Class 2 compliant) should be used, which bonds the antenna system, transceiver, power supply, and connected data equipment to a single-point ground, keeping the ground leads short.

The RipEX2 radio modem is generally considered adequately grounded if the supplied flat mounting brackets are used to mount the radio modem to a properly grounded metal surface. If the radio modem is not mounted to a grounded surface, you should attach a safety ground wire to one of the mounting brackets or a screw on the radio modem’s casing.

A lightning protector should be used where the antenna cable enters the building. Connect the protector to the building grounding, if possible. All grounds and cabling must comply with the applicable codes and regulations.

4.5. Connectors

RipEX2 uses standard connectors. Use only standard counterparts to these connectors.

You will find the connectors’ pin-outs in chapter Section 1.2, “Connectors”.

+10 to +30 V

Installation

4.6. Power supply

We do not recommend switching on the RipEX2’s power supply before connecting the antenna and other devices. Connecting the RTU and other devices to RipEX2 while powered increases the likelihood of damage due to the discharge of difference in electric potentials.

RipEX2 may be powered from any well-filtered 10 to 30 VDC power source. The supply must be capable of providing the required input for the projected RF output. The power supply must be sufficiently stable so that voltage doesn’t drop when switching from receiving to transmission, which takes less than 1.5 ms. To avoid radio channel interference, the power supply must meet all relevant EMC standards. Never install a power supply close to the antenna. Maximal supply cable length is 3 m minus pole of the power supply. Connector is internally connected to the casing of the RipEX2 unit.

9. Safety, environment, licensing

9.1. Frequency

The radio modem must be operated only in accordance with the valid frequency license issued by national frequency authority and all radio parameters have to be set exactly as listed.

Important

Use of frequencies between 406.0 and 406.1 MHz is worldwide-allocated only for International Satellite Search and Rescue System. These frequencies are used for distress beacons and are incessantly monitored by the ground and satellite Cospas-Sarsat system. Other use of these frequencies is forbidden.

9.2. Safety distance

Safety distances with respect to the health limits of the electromagnetic field intensity are in Minimum Safety Distance tables below, calculated for different antennas and RipEX2 power levels. The distances were calculated according to EN 50 385 and EN 50 383 and apply to the far-field region only. Whenever the result is comparable or smaller than the actual size of the respective antenna, the field intensity is even smaller than the far-field based calculation and the safety limit is never exceeded. For the output power 0.2 W or lower the safety limit is not exceeded at any distance and any of the antennas.

The minimal safe distance is typically ensured by the antenna position on a mast. When special installation is required, the conditions of the standard EN 50385: 2002 have to be met. The distance between the persons and antenna shown in the table below comply with all applicable standards for human exposure of general public to RF electromagnetic fields.

9.11. Warranty

RACOM-supplied parts or equipment ("equipment") is covered by warranty for inherently faulty parts and workmanship for a warranty period as stated in the delivery documentation from the date of dispatch to the customer. The warranty does not cover custom modifications to software. During the warranty period RACOM shall, on its option, fit, repair or replace ("service") faulty equipment, always provided that malfunction has occurred during normal use, not due to improper use, whether deliberate or accidental, such as attempted repair or modification by any unauthorised person; nor due to the action of abnormal or extreme environmental conditions such as overvoltage, liquid immersion or lightning strike.

Any equipment subject to repair under warranty must be returned by prepaid freight to RACOM direct. The serviced equipment shall be returned by RACOM to the customer by prepaid freight. If circumstances do not permit the equipment to be returned to RACOM, then the customer is liable and agrees to reimburse RACOM for expenses incurred by RACOM during servicing the equipment on site. When equipment does not qualify for servicing under warranty, RACOM shall charge the customer and be reimbursed for costs incurred for parts and labour at prevailing rates.

This warranty agreement represents the full extent of the warranty cover provided by RACOM to the customer, as an agreement freely entered into by both parties.

RACOM warrants the equipment to function as described, without guaranteeing it as befitting customer intent or purpose. Under no circumstances shall RACOM's liability extend beyond the above, nor shall RACOM, its principals, servants or agents be liable for any consequential loss or damage caused directly or indirectly through the use, misuse, function or malfunction of the equipment, always subject to such statutory protection as may explicitly and unavoidably apply hereto.
