Ethernet Connections

The Ethernet connection has four distinct uses. First, should the Operator Interface fail, the Ethernet connection allows a laptop to be connected via a crossover cable to the Series 9220 DIN rail mounted unit using Internet Explorer Browser. This connection can act as a LIMITED FUNCTION “operator interface” until the Operator Interface can be repaired or replaced. The laptop needs to be operating Windows XP® or higher with Internet Explorer. The default IP address is 192.168.0.200. If you are experiencing problems please call 513-772-0060 and talk with our computer communications personnel.  Secondly, the Ethernet port can be used for communications to a SCADA software package. Call us at 513-772-0060 if you are interested in this option. The third use for the Ethernet Port is the primary communications connection for the Configurator 2.0 Software (loaded onto a Windows® based operating system). The fourth use for the Ethernet Port is for Modbus TCP communications connection to communicate with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). If you need to use this option, please call 513-772-0060 to talk to SSi’s technical support team.
