5.1 Serial Port

The serial port is used to communicate with the PLC or with another type of controller.
Different electrical standards are available for the signals in the PLC port connector: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485.

The serial port is software programmable. Make sure you select the appropriate interface in the programming software.

The communication cable must be chosen for the type of device being connected.

5.2 Ethernet Port

The Ethernet port have two status indicators. Please see description in figure.

Factory settings:
ETH0 / WAN: DHCP
ETH1 / LAN: IP Address 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
ETH2 / LAN: DHCP only for eXware707 and eXware707Q
Settings: https://192.168.0.1/machine_config
Username: admin
Password: admin

5.3 Optional plugin module

eXware Series panels have several optional plugin module, multiple modules configurations are possible.

Slot#2 and Slot#4 are available only if plugin module has the “bus extension connector”.

Each slot carries three communication channels:

• 1 serial interface
• 1 CAN interface
• 1 SPI interface
• 1 2G/3G interface

Note: It is not possible to stack two modules that are using the same type of interface.

5.4 Optional plugin module identification

Note: the PLCM01 label is used as an example for PLCM01, PLCM05, PLCM09X, PLIO03

5.5 Optional plugin module installation procedure

Below you can find relation between modules ATEX and IECEx certified and max number of modules that can be used into eXware serie panels, based on their Interface Type:

Note the above different “Operating Temperature Code” for different part number of PLIO03 module.

PLCM and PLIO03 electrical ratings:

• PLCM01: For electrical rating refers to the host eXware models.
• PLCM05: For electrical rating refers to the host eXware models and PLIO03 ratings
• PLCM09X: 2xDigital Inputs voltage 12÷30 Vdc, 3mA; 2xDigital Outputs voltage 12÷30 Vdc, 0.5A
• PLIO03: 20xDigital Inputs voltage 12÷30 Vdc; 12xDigital Outputs voltage 12÷30 Vdc, 0.5A; 4xAnalog inputs 0÷10 Vdc, 4-20mA; 4xAnalog outputs: 0÷10 Vdc, 4-20mA

Below you can find relation between modules and max number of modules that can be used into eXware series panels, based on their Interface Type:

Max modules refers to max number of modules can be plugged into the eXware (all slots),

If you are planning to use PLCM03 and PLCM04 (additional serial ports) you will obtain following “COM – Slot#” association:
• a module plugged in Slot#1 or into Slot#2 will be COM2,
• a module plugged in Slot#3 or into Slot#4 will be COM3.

If you are planning to use two PLCM01 (CAN interface) you will obtain following Slot# association:
• a module plugged in Slot#1 or into Slot#2 will be the CanPort 0,
• a module plugged in Slot#3 or into Slot#4 will be the CanPort 1.

6. Power Supply, Grounding and Shielding

The power supply terminal block is shown in the figure below.

Fig. 6.1

3 conductor 1,5mmq wire size minimum, minimum temperature conductor rating 105°C.

Note: Ensure that the power supply has enough power capacity for the operation of the equipment.

The unit must always be grounded to earth with 1,5mmq wire size minimum. Grounding helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference on the control system.

Earth connection will have to be done using either the screw or the faston terminal located near the power supply terminal block. A label helps identify the ground connection. Also connect to ground the terminal 3 on the power supply terminal block.

The power supply circuit may be floating or grounded. In the latter case, connect to ground the power source common as shown in figure (see below) with a dashed line.

When using the floating power scheme, note that the panes internally connects the power common to ground with a 1MΩ resistor in parallel with a 4,7nF capacitor.
The power supply must have double or reinforced insulation.
The suggested wiring for the power supply is shown below.

All the electronic devices in the control system must be properly grounded. Grounding must be performed according to applicable regulations.

7. Battery

These devices are equipped with rechargeable Lithium battery, not user- replaceable.
The following information is maintained by the battery:

• hardware real-time clock (date and time)

Charge:
At first installation must be charged for 48 hours.
When the battery is fully charged, it ensures a period of 3 months of data back-up at 25°C.

ATTENTION
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

ATTENTION
This device cannot be disposed of as a domestic waste but according to WEEE European
Directive 2012/19/EU

8. Special Instruction for Use

• The equipment shall only be used in an area of not more than pollution degree 2, as defined in IEC/EN 60664-1.
• The equipment shall be installed in an enclosure that provides a degree of protection not less than IP 54 in accordance with IEC/EN 60079-15.
• Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not exceeding 140 % of the peak rated voltage value at the supply terminals to the equipment.
• Install the embedded controller according to the accompanying installation instructions.
• Ground the embedded cpontroller according to the accompanying installation instructions.
• Only qualified personnel may install the embedded controller or repair it.
• Ensure that the aeration holes are not covered.
• This device should not be used for purposes and methods other than indicated in this document and in the documentation accompanying the product.

9. Getting Started

Delivery configuration of software in eXware Series products is based on a loader. You may use the services of the loader to install applications on the device such as JMobile runtime. Use System Settings to activate Cloud Service.

JMobile Studio version V2.6 or higher is required. JMobile Studio is a software tool that must be properly installed on a computer running Microsoft Windows.
There are two options to transfer a JMobile application project to an eXware device:

• Ethernet Connect the eXware to the computer with an Ethernet network. In JMobile Studio select the command Run/Download to target. You may have to ensure that the proper firewall policy has been configured in the computer to allow JMobile Studio to access the network.
• USB Create an Update Package using JMobile Studio and copy it to a USB Flash drive.
