SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Only qualified workers should install this equipment. Such work should be performed
only after reading this entire set of instructions.
• NEVER work alone.
• Before performing visual inspections, tests, or maintenance on this equipment,
disconnect all sources of electric power. Assume that all circuits are live until they
have been completely de-energized, tested, and tagged. Pay particular attention to
the design of the power system. Consider all sources of power, including the
possibility of backfeeding.
• Turn off all power supplying the equipment in which the EGX is to be installed before
installing and wiring the EGX.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that power is off.
• Beware of potential hazards, wear personal protective equipment, and carefully
inspect the work area for tools and objects that may have been left inside the
equipment.
• The successful operation of this equipment depends upon proper handling,
installation, and operation. Neglecting fundamental installation requirements may
lead to personal injury as well as damage to electrical equipment or other property.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: The EGX must be properly connected to a true earth ground. If needed, another
power supply can be used to power the EGX as long as the power supply is rated for a
minimum of 8 watts at 24 Vdc (±10% regulation). See “Specifications” on page 2 for more
information about the power supply.

Ethernet Ports
10/100BaseTX RJ-45 Twisted Pair: This Ethernet port drives a twisted pair cable up to
328 ft (100 m). Use data grade twisted-pair wire. This wire must have a characteristic
impedance of 100 ohms and meet the EIA/TIA Category 5 standard wiring specifications.
The cable can be either Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) or Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP).
UTP is commonly used in the United States, and STP is commonly used in Europe.
100BaseFX Fiber Optic (EGX400): The fiber-optic port allows the EGX400 to
communicate with a fiber optic based Ethernet LAN. The port is a duplex LC connector
receptacle and is compatible with 1310 nm wavelength multimode fiber connections. It is
optimized for 62.5 or 50/125 micron multimode graded index glass optical fiber. The
transceiver is capable of signal integrity in up to 6,562 ft (2,000 m) of multimode fiber. This
port supports both half-duplex and full-duplex fiber-optic cable.
NOTE: The EGX400 is shipped with a dust cover inserted into the fiber-optic port because
the port is sensitive to dust. The dust cover should remain in the fiber-optic port at all times
except when it is removed to insert a fiber-optic cable. Retain the dust cover for future use.
Ethernet Configuration
Before configuring the EGX, obtain a unique static IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway (router) address from your network administrator.

NOTE: Attached serial devices must have the same baud rate, parity, and wiring mode
settings. If you are using RS-485, set the mode according to whether your daisy chain is
2-wire or 4-wire. The two serial ports on the EGX are configured independently from each
other and can have different settings.

Port Selection (COM 2 only) RS-485, RS-232 RS-485
3. Click Update to save changes, then click Home.
Configuring the Device List
For COM 1 daisy-chain devices:
• MODBUS/JBUS devices do not have to be defined in the COM 1 column of the Device
List, but it helps you manage your system.
• POWERLOGIC protocol (SY/MAX) devices must be defined in the COM 1 column of
the Device List.
For COM 2 daisy-chain devices, all MODBUS/JBUS and POWERLOGIC devices must be
defined in the COM2 column of the device list.
To set up the Device List for the EGX200:
1. Click Device List.
2. In the COM 1 and COM 2 columns, enter the device Address and Device Type for
each attached device on the daisy chain.
3. Click Update, then click Home.
NOTE: Do not use address 1 or 16 in a mixed mode daisy chain (for example, a single
daisy chain with some RS-485 devices using POWERLOGIC device type and others
using MODBUS/JBUS device type).
To set up the Device List for the EGX400:
1. Click Device List.
2. In the COM 1 and COM 2 columns, enter the device Address, Device Name, and
Device Type for each attached device on the daisy chain.
3. Click Update, then click Home.
Wiring to MICROLOGIC Trip Units (EGX200)
We recommend that you wire and connect all MICROLOGIC® trip units to COM 1. If trip
units are on COM 2, all components (meter module, protection module, breaker
communications module [BCM], and cradle communications module [CCM]) must be
entered into the COM 2 device list (only 24 trip units can be connected to COM 2). Refer to
instruction bulletin 63220-080-200 and your MICROLOGIC trip unit instruction bulletin for
more information.
Serial Communication Wiring
The EGX has two serial ports: COM 1 is always set for RS-485 communication, and COM 2
is selectable between RS-485 and RS-232. By default, COM 2 is set for RS-485
communication.
NOTE: The last device on an RS-485 daisy chain usually needs a terminator (part number
MCT485, MCTAS485, or MCT2W [2-wire]).

RS-232 Serial Port
The RS-232 port is used to configure the EGX network parameters, and also can be used
for serial communication using Modbus RTU. The EGX RS-232 port is wired as a data
terminal equipment (DTE) device and uses a standard DB9 male connector.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Maintenance
The EGX does not require maintenance, nor does it contain any user-serviceable parts. If
the EGX requires service, contact your local sales representative for help. Refer to the
technical support contacts provided in the shipping carton for a list of support phone
numbers by country. Do not open the EGX enclosure; this will void the product warranty
agreement.
Diagnostics
The Diagnostics page, served by the EGX, displays diagnostic data and may be helpful in
troubleshooting network problems. This page also contains information about your specific
EGX, including the serial number, manufacturing date, and media access control (MAC)
address. Pressing Reset clears all cumulative counters.
NOTE: This page will show accumulated readings since the EGX was last activated. If
power to the EGX is lost, all values reset to zero.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified personnel.
• Qualified persons performing diagnostics or troubleshooting that require electrical
conductors to be energized must comply with NFPA 70 E – Standard for Electrical
Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces and OSHA Standards – 29 CFR Part
1910 Subpart S – Electrical.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
