SRC-2X Installation and Operation Manual

DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The tiny TOOLS SRC-2X interfaces two optically isolated inputs and two SPST
relays to an Ethernet port. The SRC-2X can notify a users PC software program that
any of two optically isolated inputs have been opened or closed and allows the users
software to control two SPST, 1-amp relays. Communication with the SRC-2X is
accomplished via short "burst" type ASCII commands from the users PC. The user
may also add up to 64 ASCII strings per input and 16 user-defined strings per relay,
while two units may be operated in a standalone mode (master/slave mode) to form
a "Relay extension cord," with two channels of control in each direction. The unit
communicates using an Ethernet connection. The SRC-2X is powered by a surge
protected internal power supply. The SRC-2X may be rack mounted on the option­al RA-1 mounting shelf.

INSTALLATION

Please examine your SRC-2X carefully for any damage that may have been sus­tained during shipping. If any is noted, please notify the shipper immediately and
retain the packaging for inspection by the shipper. The package contains the SRC­2X, 7.5 VDC @ 1 amp wall power transformer, CAT 5 cable and this manual.

Installation of the SRC-2X in high RF environments should be performed with care.
Shielded cable is suggested for all I/O connections. All shields and the station
ground should be connected to the ground screw on either of the inputs terminals. It
is recommended that all cables connected to the SRC-2X be looped through ferrite
cores to suppress RF. Surge protection with RF filtering such as the Tripp-Lite ISO­BAR 4 or 6” is also suggested for the wall transformer.

Rack mounting: The SRC-2X may be rack mounted using the optional RA-1, 1-RU
rack shelf. Apply a short strip of user-supplied Velcro to the bottom of the SRC-2X
and attach the other mating strip to the surface of the RA-1.

Inputs connections: Two optically isolated inputs. Connect your equipment to the
plug-in euroblock screw terminals labeled IN1 and/or IN2 and GND. Contact clo­sures, TTL logic and/or open collectors may be used to activate each input. To inter­nally power the optically isolated inputs, leave JP1 in the “LOC” position. To power
externally, move JP1 to the “EXT” position and connect any positive DC voltage
from 5 to 24 VDC to the “EXT+” terminal and the groundside of the power supply
to the GND terminal. The red “DATA” led blinks when either input changes state.

Relay connections: Two SPST relays with Normally Open dry contacts. Make your
connections to the desired relay. K1NO & K1COM and/or K2NO & K2COM. The
two yellow led’s indicate which relay is active.

The SRC-2X is factory programmed for an internal voltage source for the optically
isolated inputs. The baud rate should be left at 9600,8,N, 1 and the operating mode
is set for PC control. The Dipswitches are used for baud rate and mode selection.
To select the desired baud rate and mode, refer to the Dipswitch descriptions on
pages 4 and 4. When your SRC-2X is reconfigured, reinstall the cover, screws, reat­tach all connections and apply power to the unit. Verify that the green “PWR” led
is lit.

NOTE:

To make jumper or
Dipswitch changes, all
connections should be
removed from the SRC­2X, along with the four
screws on the bottom of
the enclosure. Remove
the cover to expose the
circuit assembly,
jumper and the
Dipswitch.

Quick Start Application Example - 4

Com Port Redirector

This applications function is to redirect customer application data destined for a
local serial (COM) port on a PC to the serial port of an SRC-2X. Rather than going
out the local COM port, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network using
TCP/IP. The SRC-2X attached to the network receives the data and presents it on
its serial port. Conversely, data sent into the serial port of the SRC-2X is transmit­ted back to the customer’s application via the network to the Com Port Redirector.
Com Port Redirector then presents the data to the customer’s application as if it were
from a local serial COM port.

1 – The following procedure should be performed on the SRC-2X before loading the

Redirection software on the PC.

2 - Connect the supplied straight-through CAT 5 cable to the RJ-45 connector on the

SRC-2X labeled Ethernet and the other end to your hub, switch or router.
NOTE: If you are attaching the SRC-2X directly to your computer, you MUST
use a XOVER CAT 5 cable.

SRC-2X Installation and Operation Manual

QUICK START

Quick Start Application Example - 5

Email Notification via input triggering

This application is used with most of the above applications to send an email to two
different recipients when either or both of inputs change state (high to low transi­tion). Enabling CP1 (input 1) will email either of the recipients. The same hold
true for CP2 (input 2).

1 – Information you’ll need to know The email setup information needed below is

best obtained from the IT department, but if that’s not possible, try this. Open
an email message and select View, then options on the selected email. The
Internet header information is displayed, which shows all the information about
the local mail server. Remember that with the current SRC-2X, the mail server
acts as a client. This means there has to be either a valid account that the email
is validated against or email forwarding is left enabled. In most mail servers this
feature is disabled to prevent being misused as a Spam server.

a - Mail Server: The IP address in decimal-dot-notation.
b - Unit: The user name used by the SRC-2X to send email messages.
c - Domain: The domain name of your email server.
d - Recipient 1: Full e-mail address of the first recipient.
e - Recipient 2: Full e-mail address of the second recipient.

2 - Connect the supplied straight-through CAT 5 cable to the RJ-45 connector on the

SRC-2X labeled Ethernet and the other end to your hub, switch or router.

use a XOVER CAT 5 cable.

3 - Connect the supplied 7.5 VDC power supply to the SRC-2X power jack. Verify

that the power led and left “LINK” led above the RJ-45 is lit.

4 - Start the “Device Installer” software.

NOTE: If you have already set and IP address, jump to step 5 and continue.

a - Click on “SEARCH”
b - When the SRC-2X is found, click on the listed device. If more that one SRC-

2X is found, refer to the MAC address label attach to the bottom of the SRC­2X case and click on the desired SRC-2X, which should be highlighted.

c - Click on the “ASSIGN IP” button, then follow the instructions for setting a stat-

ic IP address, along with the subnet and gateway, if applicable.
