Note: All information in this document applies to the VersaTRAK IPm2m RTU, except where
otherwise noted. Refer to the electronic help system in the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit software
for detailed product specifications and configuration settings.
The products covered by this manual are designed for use in industrial control and data acquisition systems. Refer to
the Red Lion website and the individual data sheets for complete features and benefits. This user manual covers the
aspects of hardware installation and maintenance for the VT-IPm2m. For software features and capabilities please refer
to the electronic help system in the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit software.
1.1 Getting Started with Red Lion Hardware
Following these steps will make installation and start up easier:
1. Mount the Hardware: Refer to the following sections of this manual or other appropriate user manuals for
information on installing them into an enclosure. (See Section 2 for further details)
2. Install Communication Wiring to I/O Modules: Make the necessary communication connections to any
EtherTRAK -2 I/O,EtherTRAK I/O, RemoteTRAK I/O, or 3rd party devices. Refer to the I/O module manuals as
needed to establish the correct physical connections with the VT-IPM2M.
3. Connect Power and I/O Wiring to On-board I/O and I/O Modules: Connect AC power to the Red Lion or user
supplied power supply. Make DC power connections from the power supply to the Red Lion components. Make
field wiring connections to the Red Lion I/O modules and any peripheral equipment. Refer to the VT-IPM2M
power / wiring diagram (Figure 3-3) for making the appropriate power and on-board I/O connections.
4. Install Communication Cabling: The units covered by this manual come with communication accessories. Snap
the pre-wired RJ45 to DB9 adapter to the RJ45 patch cord (not supplied). Connect this cable between one of the
serial RS232 ports (RJ45 connector) on your RTU and a serial RS232 port (DB9 connector) on your PC. More
details about Ethernet, RS232 and RS485 wiring are provided in Section 4.
Fabricate and install RS232 and RS485 cables as needed to connect to other devices. If you are using Ethernet
units, install the correct cabling and peripherals. Refer to the documentation for your Ethernet communication
devices for details.
5. Apply Power: Power up the Red Lion components and related peripherals. Observe the PWR LED on the RTU. A
solid ON indicates proper operation. The Status LED on EtherTRAK and RemoteTRAK I/O modules should be ON
solid or blinking, depending on whether I/O Transfers have been configured in the RTU. Refer to the appropriate
Red Lion user manual for PWR/Status LED details.
6. Configure Using the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit: Use the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit to create a hardware configuration for eachRed Lion station. Refer to the electronic help in the I/O Tool Kit for details.
7. Test the Hardware: Use the Test I/O window in the I/O Tool Kit program to verify proper I/O operation of all RedLion stations. Refer to the I/O Tool Kit electronic help system.
8. Configure Your PC Software to Communicate with the Red Lion Station(s): Refer to the documentation for your
software.
9. If You Have Difficulty: If you experience startup trouble, refer to Section 6 in this document for some
troubleshooting tips or go to Red Lion website. If you still need assistance then please contact Red
Lion.
Red Lion supplies the "mission oriented" tools you need for every step of your project from the initial specification,
through startup, and years of trouble free operation. Configuration information flows between Red Lion Windows,
saving you time (you don't have to enter data multiple times) and dramatically reducing data entry errors. Refer to the
electronic help in the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit for complete details.
Sixnet I/O Tool Kit
The Sixnet I/O Tool Kit is a configuration, calibration and maintenance tool for Red Lion hardware. Use the I/O Tool Kit to
configure I/O features, perform channel-by-channel calibrations in meaningful engineering units, and perform live
diagnostics at each station. Refer to the electronic help for details.
Here are some of the optional Feature Sets for the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit:
SCS (Scalable Control System) features: Includes importing, tag exporting, I/O transfers and advanced load
options. The SCS option is required to develop ISaGRAF programs using the ISaGRAF Workbench.
Datalogging: Includes Sixlog datalogging (see below) with host transfer and client transfer capability.
Open LINUX features: Gain access to LINUX-visible features in IPm controllers, including file loading and
advanced diagnostics. A library of functions to access the IPm I/O registers and other services is supplied with
this enhanced license.
Sixlog
Sixlog is datalogging software for Red Lion controllers and RTUs. Data is logged into protected memory in the unit. Then
Sixlog uploads the data files and saves them into ASCII format files that are easy to import into databases, spreadsheets
and other Windows applications. Access the Sixlog functions from within the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit.
ISaGRAF
The ISaGRAF Workbench allows you to write an IEC 61131 control program for a Red Lion controller or RTU. All six of the
IEC 61131 languages are supported, including Ladder Logic and Function Blocks.
1.3 Using Red Lion Windows Software
Below is a quick overview of using the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit. Registration for Level 1 (basic features) is free of charge.
Note: An expanded version of this page has been provided as electronic help. To access it, click on the Getting Started
icon in the I/O Tool Kit electronic help.
Basic Configuration
Run the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit program and create your panel layouts. Then configure the operating parameters for each
Red Lion component, including channel tag names. Assign virtual I/O modules and I/O transfers for any EtherTRAK-2,
EtherTRAK or RemoteTRAK modules you wish to have the RTU poll. Once you are satisfied with your configuration, load
your configuration to the RTU. Save this information to a project file. Using the Test I/O function, verify that you can
read and write all your I/O.
Note: Set tag name restrictions in the Sixnet I/O Tool kit program before creating tag names to ensure compatibility when exporting
them for usage in other Windows applications.
