1.3 Safety references

As is the case with all electrical equipment there are some basic safety precautions that you

should apply. These safety precautions are primarily for your safety but also to prevent damage

to the device.

Settings not described in this guide and changes to the device electronics are to be carried out

by an authorized vendor only.

Read the user guide carefully and keep it to hand.

Make sure that the device is placed on a stable, flat surface. Make sure that for rail mounted

devices the top hat rail is sufficiently grounded and the rail spring has good contact.

Use the Device at a tempered, dust- and vibrationfree Place.

Excessive heat will damage the Device. Therefore it should not suspended to high

Temperatures. (No mounting near heatsources. No direct sunlight.)

Device shouldn’t be used at exceptional humidity.

Make sure no Liquids or Particles can get into the Device.

Dont place the Device near to magnetic fields, because this can be responsible for data loss.

(Never make any changes to the device that are not described in the user guide.)It´s forbidden

to run the Device with an other supply voltage which isn’t described for the Device. This could

damage the device and you will have to pay for the repairs. Only the authorized vendor may

change the input voltage, should this become necessary.

The powersupply must be free from overloads and other malfunction. The Interfaces must be

free from overloads, different potential and other malfunction. Otherwise the Deivce could

become damaged.

Don’t carry out any modifications in the Device, which are not described in this user guidel. That

could damage the Device and the owner will be liable to pay the costs.

Make sure that the following conditions are fulfilled:

Use a suitable power supply unit. In case of doubt consult your supplier. The device should be

used exclusively with the mains unit supplied. Using a different power supply unit may lead to

the device being damaged.

If the device is damaged, disconnect from the mains. Arrange for immediate repair.

Make sure the mains socket is located near the device and is easily accessible.

You have to pull the mains plug completely to disconnect.

Make sure the maximum power rating of an extension cable or multiple contact plug, if used,

must not be exceeded. The mains cable must be protected against damage by yourself. Do not

place anything on the cable and put it down, so that there is no danger of stepping on or

tripping over it.

A damaged mains cable must be replaced immediately.

Make sure the mains cable is disconnected before starting to clean the device. Use a dry cloth

only. Do not use any liquid or aerosol cleaning agent.

1.4 non-warranty

2.4 Usage ipEther232.Modem (Ethernet modem)

ipEther232.Modem enables you to use serial interfaces via a TCP/IP network.

This allows you to control devices without a network interface over long

distances. In addition to the serial interface, the Ethernet modem also has a

network interface. In order to connect two serial devices simply use two modems

linked via Ethernet instead of a serial cable.

Ø CNC controllers

Ø counting devices

Such devices are: Ø embedded controllers

Ø industrial switches

Ø serial printers

Thus all applications and devices that support terminal or modem functionalities

can also be used via the Ethernet. This has numerous advantages:

• lower telephone costs

• reduce the number of analog connections (monthly fee)

• simplified logistics

• extremely low porting costs

• protects your investments by converting serial devices into network

devices without necessitating changes in the existing software, saving

additional product development costs

"Networking" will soon be the global standard. However, manufacturers

require expensive labor, precious time and comprehensive experience to

develop network technologies. As most devices are already equipped with

an RS232/485 interface, the Ethernet modem offers an instant and efficient

solution for transmitting RS232/485 data via the network. The Ethernet

modem not only provides added value to your product, it also adds to the

val

2.6 Usag ver)

The ipNTP Standalone Timeserver can transmit DCF77 / GPS time information

onto computers, controllers or other dynamically critical devices / applications

ove t client first determines the average transmission time for

the data exch time server. After that the client fetches the current

time and patches this value around the transmission time. The time on the client

deviates then only a few milliseconds from the timeserver.

All components in the TCP / IP network could be synchronized over the SNTP

protocol with the time signal transmitter Mainflingen near Frankfurt at the Main

(DCF77), or through the global satellite navigation system (GPS).

Time-precise solutions are needed in task executions, schedulers, personnel

NTP Server - Information

The network time protocol (NTP) is used in order to synchronize the time of a

client over the Internet/Intranet with other computers or with an external clock.

The primary NTP timeservers are over external timers locked maximally exactly

to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The NTP Client synchronize the time

with NTP commands with the servers indicated as an argument.

DCF77 - Information

The DCF77 radio clocks receive the official time of the federal republic of

Germany from the physical-technical federal institution (PTB) in Braunschweig

and transmit the signal over different interfaces to computers and systems. The

long-term accuracy of the PTB calibrating standard measure is achieved by radio

alignment of the sender DCF77 in Mainflingen at Frankfurt/Main of 1 x10 E-13

weekly. Due to the high accuracy only this time is recognized as legally binding in

the federal republic.

GPS - Information

000 km high satellites are moving in different orbits around the

arth. In every satellite is an atomic clock (min. accuracy 1x 10 E-12), whose time

Chapter 3: Commissioning

3.1 Installation

Connect the device to the mains. The "Power“ signal and the flashing "System“

LED indicate that ipEther232 is ready for operation.

ipEther232 is connected to the network via an RJ45 socket.

The "Link LAN“ LED (connection) indicates the connection to the LAN.

If this is not the case, check the netwok connection or network line.

The enclosed CD contains a driver set-up program and the configuration tool.

The driver runs on all Windows NT based operating systems, therefore Windows

NT with SP5, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

All Applications are based on the Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1. If .Net is not jet

installed on your Machine - just get and Install the DotNet framework 1.1.

Here is the URL:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/default.aspx

(ca.23mb)

If you don't have an internet connection please install it from cd.

In addition the Datebase Application needs the "Microsoft Data Access

components 2.8" if this is not already installed on your Computer:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/mdac/downloads/default.aspx (ca.5mb)

If you don’t have installed this and you want or need it please look on our

driver cd.

No PC reboot is necessary after installation. The configuration tools starts

automatically after installation.

For later configuration sessions the program is included in the "Program files -

ipcas GmbH – ipEther Products“ folder.
