3.2 Installation - Configuring

1 Mount Unit

Refer to Section 3.1 for unit mounting instructions.

2 Switch off

Ensure the unit is switched off before configuration. The diagram shows a hand turning a switch to the 'O' (Off) position.

3 Open Box

If fitted in ENCLS/MBOX/IQ220, open the box. The diagram shows two methods (a, b) for opening.

4 Open Panel

If appropriate, open the unit's panel. The diagram shows a panel being opened.

5 Open Flap

Open the unit's flap. The diagram shows the flap being opened.

6 Set Internetwork Address (LAN number)

Configure the internetwork address using DIP switches. The diagram shows a bank of switches labeled 'ADDRESS'.

• Example: Address = 2 + 16 + 64 = 82.
• Address Range:
• Valid: 1, 4 to 9, 11 to 119. (Indicated by ↑ NOT SET / ↓ SET)
• Invalid: 0, 2, 3, 10 or >119. (Indicated by ❌)

Network diagrams illustrate:

• If Address = A, then Lan = A (EINC connected to Lan A).
• If Address ≠ A, then Lan ≠ A.

Modes:

• If address < 100, the unit operates in INC Mode.
• If address >= 100, the unit operates in Internetwork Extension Mode.

7 Set Current Loop Baud Rate

Configure the Current Loop baud rate using DIP switches. The diagram shows switches for 38k4, 19k2, 9k6, and 1k2 baud rates.

• Baud Rate = C (Indicated by SET switch).
• Note 1: 38k4 LAN is not available with IQ2xx, IQ1xx, INC, LINC, CNC, CNC2, INC2, and TMN.
• Note 2: 38k4 Internetwork is not available with INC and LINC.

8 Close Flap

Close the unit's flap.

9 Switch On

Switch the unit on. The diagram shows a hand turning a switch to the 'I' (On) position.

10 Check Node Controller

Verify the status of the node controller:

• (power) (green): ✔️ Check supply.
• (watchdog) (red): ❌ EINC Faulty.

11 Check Ethernet

Verify Ethernet communication:

• If 10 BASE-T (Link integrity) (yellow): ✔️ Check Ethernet connection.
• RX (yellow): ✔️ Check other Ethernet device.
• TX (yellow): ✔️ Check other Ethernet device.
• OK (green) (If another device on Ethernet): ✔️ check other device.

12 Check Current Loop network

Verify Current Loop network status:

• RX (yellow) / TX (yellow): Check signal status.
• OK (green): ✔️
• IQ Faulty: ❌
• Network Address Invalid: ❌ (0, 2, 3 or >119).
• Checks: Network cabling for short circuits (using a multimeter), check baud rate, power up other nodes until faulty node is found.
• Correct fault.

13 Connect to EINC with IP Tool

Connect to the EINC using the IP Tool, either over Ethernet or via a Local PC Ethernet Connection.

• Either over Ethernet: Connect via a router. Requires SET v6 (including IP Tool).
• Local PC Ethernet Connection: May require a XCITE/XA crossover adaptor. Connects directly to EINC using standard cable and crossover adaptor.

Note: Initially access EINC using its MAC address. Refer to SET Manual TE200147 and IP Tool Manual TE200638.

14 Configure Addressing Details with IPTool

Use the IPTool to configure addressing details. Refer to EINC Data Sheet TA200137 and IP Tool Manual TE200638.

Address Module Parameters:

Additional Parameters:

Notes:

1. Change if address clash on Ethernet or if routers between EINCs.
2. May change UDP port if port already used on Ethernet, or if multiple internetworks (i.e. sites) required on subnet (see Data Sheet).
3. Enables EINC virtual CNC to access Ethernet PC across router, or EINC to find other IQ system Ethernet devices across router.
4. Also used by IQ system Supervisors and software tools to access EINC (Device address always 126).
5. Virtual CNCs inoperative until address set up.
6. Set up each virtual CNC used, separately.
7. Same port number to be set up in supervisor to communicate with virtual CNC.
8. Use virtual CNC in alarm mode to send alarms to Ethernet 962 v3 or greater/963 which connects via TCP dial up.
9. Lowest IP address (IQ3xcite or EINC) on each subnet across router to be set up; as many as possible in each subnet recommended.
10. If using 'updatelist' facility (not recommended for mixed EINC/IQ3xcite system) also set up this EINC's details (and other EINC's on this EINC's subnet, if not broadcast).
11. Out of the factory mode is 'unconfigured' which changes to 'networked' on first write to EINC by IPTool.

15 Configure

Configuration of EINC over Ethernet is possible via a virtual CNC once the virtual CNC address is set up and if IP addressing is set up correctly in both PC and EINC (see step 14).

The diagram shows the SET utility interface with options like 'User', 'addRes', 'rouTer', 'virtualCncs', 'remoteEincs', 'uPdatelist'.

• 'R' selects 'addRess module'.
• 'X' exits the module having changed parameters.
• 'Q' quits the module and discards changes.

Note: A PIN may be required to make changes in configuration mode. If the PIN has been forgotten, contact Technical Support quoting the generator number (User module) and MAC address (address module) for a default PIN. This is only valid during the same configuration mode session.
