Healthy - State of module, Green = healthy, Flash Red = Fault.

Active - On when this module is active.

Standby - On when this module is in standby.

Educated - Off = not educated,

Flashing = being educated,
On = Module configuration is valid.

Communication LED’s, Green = receiving data, Red = sending data

(looks Yellow with fast comms.)

Ethernet - Cable
 10 Base 2 - 10Mbits/sec
 Coax cable / 185m distance
 50 ohm terminator each end
 Multi drop / Half Duplex
 T connector must be within ?150mm of communication module
 10 Base T - 10Mbits/sec
 Unscreened (UTP) / Screened (STP) / Distance 100m
 Point to point (two twisted pairs) - usually via a hub / Full Duplex
 10 Base F - 10Mbits/sec
 Point to point / Full duplex
 Needs 2 fibers
 Single mode or Multi mode
 distances up to 25 or 30 km depending on fiber and driver

21/12/23
Ethernet Addressing
 IP address (Internet Protocol address)
 Consists of a network address and a node address
 Consists of 4 bytes usually written in decimal with dots
 Typical 192.200.11.203 - Network = 192.200.11 Node =
203
 Subnet Mask
 Selects which bits are the network address and which are
the node address. ( 1 = network address, 0 = node)
 Gateway
 Selects where to look if node is not on the local network

21/12/23
Connecting 10 Base T
 Hub
 Provides a mechanism to connect all of the nodes
together.
 Data sent by one node is always received by all of the
others
 Switch
 Enables nodes to communicate with each other without
sending the messages to every node.
 Enables multiple connection to be made simultaneously
 Terminal servers
 Enable low speed serial data to be sent across high
speed Ethernet
 Enable multiple serial ports to be connected to Trusted
via Ethernet
21/12/23
Configuring the Communication
Module

 Using the .INI configuration

 Setting the Modbus node
 Setting the serial Baud rate and terminator
 Setting IP, Subnet mask and Gateway addresses
 Raw Flash mode
 How to get to this mode
 CC IP command
 Forcing the default setting

 The user must enter data as detailed below:
1. TICS_CHASSIS – this will always be ‘1’.
2. TICS_SLOT – this must be assigned ‘7’ or ‘8’ as appropriate.
3. RESPONSE_TMO – this is the time, in seconds, that the system will wait for a
response from a peer. Values of 1 to 30 seconds are valid.
4. TX_DATA_TMO – this is the time, in seconds, that the master will wait for a peer
to complete sending its data. Values of 1 to 60 seconds are valid.
5. IP_ADDR1 to IP_ADDR9 – each Peer to Peer master can communicate with up
to a maximum of nine slaves on a single network. Each slave must have a
unique IP (Internet Protocol) address assigned to it.
6. start_peer – Peer to Peer Communications is started/stopped by assigning a
variable name to this field in the normal way.
