Installation and Maintenance Manual
Overview
1
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 each Red 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 Red Lion 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.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
1.2 Red Lion Software Tools
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.
