Chapter 1 Safety precautions

Important information Read these operating instructions before starting the unit. They provide you with

important information on the use, safety and maintenance of the units. This helps
you to protect yourself and prevent damage to the unit.

Information intended to help you to avoid death, bodily harm or considerable
damage to property are highlighted by the warning triangle shown here; it is
imperative that this information be properly heeded.

The operating instructions are intended for trained professional electricians familiar
with the safety standards of electrical technology and industrial electronics.

Store these operating instructions in an appropriate place.

The manufacturer is not liable if the information in these operating instructions are
not complied with.

Safety Components inside the units are energized with electricity during operation.

For this reason, mounting and maintenance work may only be performed by
professionally-trained personnel while observing the corresponding safety
regulations.

The repair and replacement of components and modules may only be carried out
by the manufacturer for safety reasons and due to the required compliance with
the documented unit properties.

The units do not have a power switch. They are operative as soon as the operating
voltage is applied.

Intended use The units are intended for use in industrial environments. They may only be

operated within the limit values stipulated by the technical data.

When configuring, installing, maintaining and testing the units, the safety and
accident-prevention regulations relevant to use in each individual case must be
complied with.

Trouble-free, safe operation of the units requires proper transport, storage,
installation, mounting and careful operation and maintenance of the units.

Mounting and installation The attachment options for the units were conceived in such a way as to ensure

safe, reliable mounting.

The user must ensure that the attachment hardware, the unit carrier and the
anchoring at the unit carrier are sufficient to securely support the unit under
the given surrounding conditions.

The units are to be mounted in such a way that they can be opened up while
mounted. Sufficient space for the cables must be available in the unit near the
cable infeed.

Sufficient space is to be kept clear around the units to ensure air circulation and to
prevent the build-up of heat resulting from use. The relevant information must be
heeded in the case of units ventilated by other means.

When the housing fasteners are opened, the front frame of the housing
hinges out upward or downward (depending on the unit version)
automatically.

BAL SX602 ETH EN 3.0 5

Battery replacement The units have a lithium battery used for data security of the real-time clock. The

battery can explode if replaced improperly.

Grounding All devices are equipped with a metal housing. They comply with safety class I and

require a protective earth connection. The connecting cable for the operating
voltage must contain a protective earth wire of a sufficient cross section (DIN VDE
0106 part 1, DIN VDE 0411 part 1).

EMV-measures The devices comply with the EU Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive) and

provide the required interference immunity. Observe the following when connecting
the operating voltage and data cables:

 Use shielded data cables.

 The data and operating voltage cables must be laid separately. They may not

be laid together with heavy-current cables or other interference-producing
cables.

 The cable thickness must be properly assessed (DIN VDE 0100 Part 540).

 The cable lengths inside the units are to be kept as short as possible to

prevent interference. This applies especially to unshielded operating voltage
cables. Shielded cables are also to be kept short due to any interference which
might be emitted by the shielding.

 Neither excessively long cables nor cable loops may be placed inside the

units.

 The connection of the cable shielding to the functional ground (PE) must be as

short and low-impedance as possible. It should be made directly to the
mounting plate over a large area with a conductive clip:

control

data line terminals

bare
metal surface

mouting plate

conductive clamp

 The cable shielding is to be connected at both cable ends. If equipotential

bonding currents are expected due to the cable arrangement, electrical
isolation is to be performed on one side. In this case, capacitive connection
(approx. 0.1µF/600 V AC) of the shielding on the isolated side must occur.

Disposal Units or unit parts which are no longer needed are to be disposed of in accordance

with the regulations in effect in your country.

Principle circuit diagram

Central Processing Unit The following figure shows the Central Processing Unit:

Ethernet interface The Ethernet interface is used for activation of the devices. It is a standard-RJ45

socket and has the following specifications:

Data rate: 10/100 Mbps, Automatic detection

Galvanic separation: 1,5 kV

Supported protocols: ICMP, ARP, IP, TCP, UDP, DHCP, Telnet and HTTP

Operation modes: TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP

The units are set-up as TCP server by default. The data
is transmitted to port 8000 via a socket connection.

Configuration: The basic configuration can be set up without external

aids via the menu (see chapter 5). Further settings can
be done via Web Browser or Telnet console (see chapter

4).

The Telnet and HTTP protocols are used exclusively for configuration, not for data
transmission.

8 BAL SX602 ETH EN 3.0

Function inputs The function inputs allow, independently of commands via the Ethernet interface, a

reduction the brightness and the flashing of the display (see chapter 4). They are
located on a screw-type terminal strip.

The function inputs are PLC-compatible and are designed for the following signal
voltages:

Signal voltage: L = -3.5...+5 V (open input = L)
H = +18...30 V (active H), M = reference potential

Menu display The parameterization of the devices is carried out in a menu of the menu display.

In normal operation, the following status messages appear in the menu display::

ONNE Data are received at the interface.
DATA The device detects a telegram ending.
 No data are received at the interface.

In programming operation, the following status messages appear in the menu
display:

LoAd Static texts are loaded in the text memory.
rEAd Static texts are read from the text memory.

Status indicator The data LED illuminates when data is being received.

Ethernet-LEDs The data transmission rate is detected automatically and displayed via the 100M

and 10M Ethernet LEDs. A permanently lit LED signals a connection having the
indicated speed. Flickering means additional data exchange.

Battery The lithium battery (type CR2032) provides a power reserve for the real-time clock.

It is located in a battery holder, thus making battery replacement easy. The battery
is to be replaced with a new one after three years.

Power supply The power supply of the devices (230 V AC) is connected to the terminals L, N

and PE.

Proportional font The character sets Acala 7 and Acala 7 extended are represented in non-

proportional font.The same number of pixels is available for the width of each
character.

The character set Acala 7 P, which is preinstalled ex factory and contained on the
data medium, represents the characters in proportional font. Each character uses
the width it requires visually.

PC-Tool The data carrier also contains the PC tool 'Font Manager' for installing the

character sets. In addition to that, the tool is used for creating user-defined
character sets, for saving character sets on data carriers and for restoring the
installed character sets.

Chapter 4 Control

Parameterization The units must be parameterized before they can be controlled. Parameterization

occurs in a menu (see Chapter 5).

Ethernet interface ´ The devices are activated via the Ethernet interface (see chapter 2).

Text types The devices can display both dynamic and static texts:

 Dynamic texts can be changed while the unit is running. They are generated

from within the process and sent to the display via the Ethernet interface.

 Static texts cannot be changed while the unit is running. They are compiled

using the PC tool 'Text Manager' delivered on data carrier and loaded in the
text memory via the Ethernet interface. After that, they can be opened via their
text number.

Automatic line break If the text contains more characters than can be displayed in one line, a line break

is inserted automatically at the end of the line, and the text is continued in the nex
line.

Automatic paging If the text contains more characters than can be displayed in the display, it will be

automatically displayed in paging mode.

Interfacing commands The interfacing of the devices is done using commands according to the following

command table. In the following description of the commands, the numbers in [ ]
refer to the corresponding lines in the command table.

Single commands need a message termination (↵) with the characters CR, LF or
CR/LF.

Online texts Dynamic texts are transmitted to the display as data telegrams [1]. Any text found

in the display is cleared when an online text is received.

Static texts Static texts are called up using the command $Tn↵ [2]. n is the text number; it can

be from one to four digits. Any text in the display is cleared when a fixed text is
called up.

Initial text Once the operating voltage has been applied, an LED dot in the upper left-hand

corner of the display illuminates to indicate that the unit is ready for operation. If an
initial text is to appear in the display instead (e.g. 'System operational'), this text is
to be saved in the text memory with text number 0, and displaying of the initial text
is to be set in menu item 20 (see Chapter 5).

Inserting variables This operating mode is used when the units are to display so-called text masks, in

which only certain characters are changed, e.g. for the updating of numerical
values as in the following:

Temp. 172 °C

The text parts Temp. and °C are fixed and do not change. The numbers, on the
other hand, are continually updated variable text components.

In principle, updating could occur with online texts containing both the fixed and the
variable text components. The data transfer required here is considerable,
however.

The SX602 series offers the advantageous alternative of a one-time transmission
of the fixed text components to the display and subsequent insertion of just the
appropriate characters (variables) to update the variable text components. In the
example, the fixed text parts Temp. and °C are displayed by means of the following
data telegram.

$M1Temp. $VS$VS$VS °C$↵

The place holders for variables to be inserted later are marked with $VS [19]. They
first appear blank in the display. A variable corresponds to a character to be
displayed. Up to 256 variables can be inserted into a text.

The place holder from which the variables are to be inserted in the text (insertion
position) is marked with the $VPn↵ command [4]. n is the running number of
variables; it can be from one to three digits (0 – 255). In the example, the first
insertion position is marked with the $VP0↵ command.

Insertion of the variables in the place holders occurs with the $VEcc...↵
command [3]. cc... stands for any characters. In the example, the variables are
inserted with the data telegram $VE172↵.

BAL SX602 ETH EN 3.0 13

In the example, the fixed text components were shown in the display as online text.

t

r

Alternatively, they can be prepared as a fixed text called up from the text memory.
The place holders for the variables are also to be marked with $VS in the fixed text.

Deleting text Any text in the display is cleared with the $E↵ command [5]. An LED dot then

illuminates in the upper left-hand corner of the display.

Forced line break If the text contains more characters than can be displayed in one line, a line break

is inserted automatically at the end of the line, and the text is continued in the nex
line. A line break can also be forced at a certain place in the text, for example fo
correct hyphenation [6] using the command $C.

Flashing Including $F1 in the data string causes the following characters to flash [7]. As

soon as $F0 appears in the data string, the following characters are displayed
statically [8].

Flashing of the entire display can be activated with the $F1↵ command [33] and
deactivated with the $F0↵ command [34].

Flashing of the entire display can also be activated with a high signal level at
function input F2. The function input has priority over the commands.

Marquee text Marquee text display is activated from the current position in the text with the $Y

command [9]. It remains active up to the end of the text or a forced line break ($C).

Character set The texts are displayed with the character set specified in menu item 22 as default

(see Chapter 5). For loading another character set, one of the commands $M1,
$M2 or $M5 must be contained in the text [10, 11, 14].

The commands $M1 and $M2 load the permanently installed character sets Acala 7
[10] and Acala 7 extended [11].

A user-defined character set [14] can be loaded with the command $M5.The Acala
7 P character set is preinstalled here. It can be replaced by a character set created
by the user, for example.

The commands $M3 [12], $M4 [13] and $M6 [15] must not be used.

The optional character sets and a tool for generating user-defined character sets
are included on a data medium. The tool is also used to install character sets, to
save character sets to data media and to read back installed character sets.

LED color Devices with switchable LED color (see chapter 3) display the texts in red by

default. For a color change, the command $A0 (red), $A1 (green) or $A2 (orange)
must be contained in the text [16...18].

Inserting time/date The units have a real-time clock with a date and weekday display. The current

time, date or parts of them can be inserted into the text with the $H... and $D...
commands [20 – 30]. The year can be displayed with four [24, 28] or two [25, 29]
digits.

The day of the week is displayed abbreviated to two letters in the language set in
menu item 23 (see Chapter 5).

14 BAL SX602 ETH EN 3.0

Bar graph The $Gnnnn command activates the bar graph display [31]. nnnn stands for the

number of illuminating columns, i.e. the length of the bar graph and must always be
four digits.

The illuminating color of the bar graph can only be red or green. The $A2
command for the color orange [18] is ignored in bar graph mode].

$ character The command for displaying the '$' character is $$ [32].

Brightness The brightness of the display can be reduced with the $B1↵ command [36] and

reset to the normal brightness with the $B0↵ command [35].

The brightness can also be reduced with a high signal level on function input F1.
The function input has priority over the control commands.

Blanking Blanking of the display can be activated with the $B2↵ command [37] and

deactivated with the $B0↵ or $B1↵ commands [35, 36]. The text in the display is
not cleared here.

Reset The $0↵ command restarts the unit [38].

Setting time/date Setting of the time occurs with the $SHhhmmss↵ command [39]. hh stands for

hours (24-hour format), mm for minutes and ss for seconds (e.g. $SH204515↵ =
20:45:15 Uhr).

Setting of the date occurs with the $SDddmmyy↵ command [43]. dd stands for the
day, mm for the month and yy for the year (e.g. $SD200804↵ = 20.08.2004).

Setting of the weekday occurs with the $SWx↵ command [41]. x stands for the
respective weekday: 1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday, 3 = Wednesday, 4 = Thursday, 5
= Friday, 6 = Saturday and 7 = Sunday. The day of the week is displayed
abbreviated to two letters in the language set in menu item 23 (see Chapter 5).

The time, date and weekday can also be set in menu items 90 – 95 (see
Chapter 5).

Reading out time/date The current time can be read out via the interface with the $RH↵ command [45],

and the current date, including the weekday, with the $RD↵ command [46 ].

Time-out In menu item 10, it is possible to set whether a time-out occurs, and if so, after

what time. Time-out means that the display is cleared if it has not received a data
telegram after a defined time period. An LED dot then illuminates in the upper left­hand corner of the display.

Initial text Once the operating voltage has been applied, an LED dot in the upper left-hand

corner of the display illuminates to indicate that the unit is ready for operation. If an
initial text is to appear in the display instead (e.g. 'System operational'), this text is
to be stored in the text memory with text number 0, and displaying of the initial text
is to be set in menu item 20.

If a display test is preselected in menu item 24, it appears in the display before the
initial text.

Paging interval If a text contains more characters than can be shown in the display, it is

automatically displayed in paging mode. The page change interval can be set
between 3 and 30 seconds in menu item 21.

Character set In menu item 22, you can set the default character set used to display the texts.

The character sets Acala 7 and Acala 7 extended are permanently installed in the
units.

A user-defined character set can be loaded with the setting U. The Acala 7 P
character set is preinstalled here. It can be replaced by a character set created by
the user, for example.

The settings C, E and U must not be used.

The optional character sets and a tool for generating user-defined character sets
are included on a data medium. The tool is also used to install character sets, to
save character sets to data media and to read back installed character sets.

Language In menu item 23, you can set the language in which the weekday is displayed

(abbreviated to two letters).

Display test In menu item 24, you can set whether a display test is to be performed after the

operating voltage is applied.

Network parameters The network parameters can be set in the menu and no external aids are

necessary. Afterwards the units can be accessed via the network. Further settings
can then be made via the network (see chapter 6).

In the IP menu item, static address assignment or DHCP must be selected.

In the I1...I4 menu items, the four bytes of the IP address are set, if static address
assignment has been selected.

In the G1...G4 menu items, the four bytes of the standard gateway address are set,
if static address assignment has been selected.

In the S1...S4 menu items, the four address bytes of the Subnet Mask are set, if
static address assignment has been selected.

Upon resetting the factory settings (Default) in menu item 99, the following network
parameters are set:

 Static address assignment
 IP-Address192.168.127.254
 Subnet Mask 255.255.000.000
 Standard-Gateway 192.168.127.001

Time/date The year, month, day and weekday of the real-time clock are set in menu items

90 – 93. The time at which the clock is to be started is set in menu items 94 – 95.
Then select menu item 99 and select the setting Set there. When the set time is
reached, briefly press the left menu button [↕] the clock is now set to the current
time.

If the settings in menu items 90 – 93 (date) and 94 – 95 (time) are not changed
when the menu is run through, the current settings for the time, date and weekday
are retained when the menu is exited. Therefore, the clock only needs to be set
when running through the menu if this is intended.

Setting the clock can also occur with control commands via the Ethernet interface
(see Chapter 4).

Attention: Setting unrealistic date values, e.g. 31/02/06 can lead to unpredictable
date displays and is therefore impermissible.

Chapter 6 Configuration

MAC address The MAC address of the unit is to be found on the Ethernet coupling of the control

processor (see label). It is possibly needed for commissioning and should be
written down on page 2 of this operating manual before the unit is mounted on a
hardly accessible location.

Basic configuration The basic configuration can be set up without external aids via the menu (see

chapter 5). To integrate the unit in the network, either DHCP must be activated, or
the static IP address, the relevant Subnet Mask and, if necessary, the IP address
of the standard gateway must be set. These values are assigned by the system
administrator and should be known before putting the unit into operation.

Configuration via network As soon as the units can accessed via TCP/IP, additional configuration can take

place via Telnet and HTTP. Access can be password-protected or can be
deactivated, to prevent unauthorized operations. As-delivered and after setting the
default in menu item U, access is enabled.

Additional information The configuration dialogs are self-explanatory. For detailed information, please

refer to the documentation of the Ethernet coupling (Moxa NE4100T type). For
further information and PC tools, please go to www.moxa.com.

Basic setting Via Telnet and HTTP the gateway can inadvertently be parameterized so that it is

no longer accessible via the network. In this case the gateway can be rest in a
defined status via menu and selection of default in menu item U (see chapter 4)
and after resetting of the network parameters it can be accessed via network
again.

Chapter 7 Status messages

Fault messages Serious faults due to improper operation or faulty operating conditions are

indicated in the display. The following messages are possible:

Fault message Cause Elimination

No Text

Syntax Error

The text called up is not saved in the
fixed text memory.

A faulty command was
sent to the display
.

The text is to be loaded into the fixed
text memory.

The command must be corrected
(see command table in chapter

6).
