Device description

Purpose

The Ethernet USB module was developed for the following purposes:

• Integrating constant temperature equipment in an Ethernet network.
• Controlling constant temperature equipment via the LAUDA command set.

The two USB interfaces on the Ethernet USB module have no function. They will therefore not be mentioned again in this operating manual.

Structure

1. Cover with holes for M3x10 fastening screws
2. Ethernet interface (10/100 Mbit/s, RJ 45 with 2 LEDs *)
3. Host USB port, USB 2.0 type A (intended for future expansion)
4. Device USB port, USB 2.0 type B (intended for future expansion)

The two LEDs indicate whether the interface is connected and whether data is being transmitted (link/activity).

Material damage during repairs

• The Ethernet USB module is fitted with a micro-SD card for remote maintenance purposes.
• Only LAUDA service personnel are permitted to remove or exchange the micro-SD card.

Before starting up

Installing the interface module

The interface module is connected to an internal LiBus ribbon cable and inserted into a vacant module slot. The number and arrangement of the module slots vary depending on the device. The module slots are protected by a cover that is screwed onto the casing or attached to the slot opening.

WARNING: Touching live parts

| Electric shock

• Disconnect the device from the power supply before starting any installation work.

• Always observe safety measures against electrostatic discharge.

• The module installation description essentially applies to all LAUDA constant temperature equipment; the example diagrams here show the installation of an analog module in constant temperature equipment from the Variocool product line.

• Please note that an interface module with a small cover can only be installed in a low module slot. The fitted cover must cover the opening on the module slot completely.

• You will require two M3 x 10 screws and a suitable screwdriver to secure the interface module.

Please observe the following installation sequence:

1. Turn off the constant temperature equipment and pull out the mains plug.
2. If necessary, remove the screws from the cover on the relevant module slot. If necessary, use a slotted screwdriver to prise off the cover.
3. Remove the cover from the module slot.
   • The module slot is open. The LiBus ribbon cable is attached to the inside of the cover and is easily accessible.
4. Disconnect the LiBus ribbon cable from the cover.
5. Connect the red plug on the LiBus ribbon cable to the red socket on the circuit board of the interface module. Plug and socket are reverse polarity protected: Make sure that the lug on the plug is aligned with the recess in the socket.
   • The interface module is correctly connected to the constant temperature equipment.
6. Slide the LiBus ribbon cable and the interface module into the module slot.
7. Secure the cover to the casing using two M3 x 10 screws.
   • The new interface on the constant temperature equipment is ready for operation.

Using the module box

You can extend LAUDA constant temperature equipment by two additional module slots using the LiBus module box. The module box is designed for interface modules with a large cover and is connected to constant temperature equipment via a vacant LiBus socket. The socket on the constant temperature equipment bears the label LiBus. Please observe the following installation sequence:

1. Switch off the constant temperature equipment.
2. Disconnect the cable on the module box from the constant temperature equipment.
   • The module box is disconnected from the power supply.
3. Check which interfaces are already present on the constant temperature equipment and module box.
   • Warning: Observe the information on interface module compatibility. Only install an interface module with the same type of interface if operation with several of these interfaces is permitted.
4. Install the required interface module in the module box. Please read the information on installing the module box in the constant temperature equipment, see chapter “Installing the interface module”.
5. Position the module box close to the constant temperature equipment.
6. Connect the cable on the module box to the LiBus socket on the constant temperature equipment.
   • The interfaces on the module box are ready for operation.

Commissioning

Contact assignment of Ethernet interface

The Ethernet interface is equipped with standard type RJ45 sockets (8P8C modular plugs according to CFR Part 68). Standard Ethernet cables that correspond to category CAT5e or higher (8P8C assignment with twisted pairs) must be used for the connection.

Table 1: RJ45 contact assignment

Software update

Older software installed on constant temperature equipment may have to be updated for the new interface to work.

1. Switch on the constant temperature equipment after installing the new interface.
2. Check whether a software warning appears on the display:
   • Warning SW too old: Please contact LAUDA Service, see Ä Chapter 1.6 “Contact LAUDA”.
   • No software warning: Operate the constant temperature equipment as normal.

Operation

You can connect your constant temperature equipment directly to a PC via the Ethernet interface or integrate it into a local network so that the equipment can be controlled using a LAUDA command set.

The configuration for the Ethernet interface is stored in the constant temperature equipment. If the interface module is installed in a different device, the settings must be reconfigured there.

Command performance

The command performance achieved via the Ethernet depends on multiple factors, including the following criteria:

• Ideally, the constant temperature equipment and control station / PC should be located in the same (sub)network, otherwise the number of interconnected routers or switches should be kept to a minimum.
• A cable connection (LAN) to the control station / PC is usually more reliable for data transmission than a wireless connection (WLAN).
• Excessive network utilization can slow down the exchange of commands considerably.

Data is exchanged between the constant temperature equipment and an external application via the Ethernet interface in line with the command/ response principle. In other words, a new command is usually only issued once the constant temperature equipment has responded to the previous command.

Under ideal conditions, commands can be sent to the constant temperature equipment every 100 ms. If the network load is high or a WiFi connection is being used, commands may have to be issued at intervals of more than 1 s. A transmission rate of 500 ms is appropriate for many periodic commands (such as Actual value of external temperature ). If this value is used as a control variable in the constant temperature equipment, a slower transmission rate will impair the control action.

Menu structure

The menu only ever shows functions that are available for the current constant temperature equipment. The menu for configuring the interface is integrated in the main menu of the relevant constant temperature equipment:

Interface functions

Interface functions such as read and write commands make it possible to read out the current operating parameters of constant temperature equipment and predefine specific settings and process values.

The interface functions supported by this interface are presented briefly below. They are sorted by topic according to the component affected and assigned a unique ID. Depending on the technical configuration of your constant temperature equipment, the number and scope of the interface functions actually available may vary from the list shown here, see chapter “Availability of the interface functions”.

General Information

Communication takes place according to the master/slave principle. In order to ensure that a request and response are uniquely assigned to one another, commands can only be sent to the constant temperature equipment once a response to the previous command has been received.

All available read and write commands as well as the meaning of any error messages that may occur are presented below. Note the following information relating to syntax and sequencing when using these commands: Numerical values are provided in fixed point format; numbers with up to 4 places in front of the decimal point and up to 2 places after the decimal point are permitted:

Table 2: Acceptable data formats

• Error messages are output with the syntax “ERR_X”:
  • ERR = Identification as an error message
  • X = Error number (whole number without leading zero, maximum of 4 digits)
• Space ” ” and underscore “_” can be used synonymously.

Ethernet protocol

• Commands from an external source must always end with CR, CRLF or LFCR. The response from the constant temperature equipment always ends with CRLF. Meaning of the abbreviations:
  • CR = Carriage Return (Hex: 0D)
  • LF = Line Feed (Hex: 0A)
• In order to ensure that a request and response are uniquely assigned to one another, commands can only be sent to the constant temperature equipment once a response to the previous command has been received.

Example

Example with set point transfer of 30.5 °C to the constant temperature equipment.

Read commands

• The interface module recognizes the following read commands, which you can use to retrieve operating data of the constant temperature equipment.

Error messages

The following is a description of the error messages of the interface modules. The string ERR_X or ERR_XX is output after an incorrect command.

paused
ERR_37| Not possible to start programmer (analog set point value input is ON)

Establishing a network connection

Before you can address the constant temperature equipment from a PC or in the local network, the following preparations are required:

1. Use an Ethernet cable (Cat. 5e or higher) to connect the Ethernetinterface of the constant temperature equipment to the remote station. The following systems can be used as remote stations, for example: PC, switch, router or WLAN access point.
2. Use the constant temperature equipment menu to configure all the settings that the connected system requires for communication.

Warning: Contact your system administrator for the relevant information and also note the following:

• The Ethernet interface on the constant temperature equipment is prepared in the factory for operation on a DHCP server: When the setting DHCP Client = on is selected, the required configuration is adopted automatically from the network as soon as the cable is connected.
• If automatic configuration is not required because the equipment is operating on a single system or as a process interface, you must deselect the option DHCP Client . Then enter the network settings manually, see Ä Chapter 7.3.1 “Configuring network settings”.

Configuring network settings

The following requirements must be met before the constant temperature equipment can be connected manually to a system or network:

• The Ethernet interface is connected to a single system (PC) or a network component (hub, switch, router, WLAN access point) via an Ethernet cable.
• The local IP address assigned to the constant temperature equipment falls within the same address range as the connected system and is not used by any other system on the network.

1. Open the … Ethernet LAN Settings menu.
2. Set the DHCP Client entry to off .
   • The entries for inputting IP addresses are enabled.
3. Enter the IP addresses for the following entries in succession.

Entering IP addresses

IP addresses are entered byte by byte:

• Select the Byte 1 field.
• Enter the first numerical value of the 4-digit IP address and confirm your entry.
• Repeat the process for the Byte 2 , Byte 3 and Byte 4 fields.

1. Local IP address:  Enter in the desired IP address, for example 120.0.1.12. Connected systems can access the constant temperature equipment using this IP address, see Ä “Ping request”.
2. Local mask:  Enter the associated local mask address, for example 255.255.192.0.
3. Gateway:  Enter the IP address of the gateway (for example 120.0.0.13) that is used for communicating with neighboring networks.
4. Note: The gateway address must be configured if the constant temperature equipment and control station (e.g. PC) are in different subnetworks (VLANs / LANs).
5. DNSServer:  Enter the IP address of the DNS server (for example 120.0.1.40) that is used for the name resolution of connected systems.

Note: Entering the address of the DNS server is not required.

IP version

UDetermines which IP version is used ( IPv4 or IPv6 ). The interface only supports IP version IPv4 at present.

Checking the network connection

Ping request

You can use the ping console command from a connected system to easily check whether the interface on the constant temperature equipment is available. Here, a single request (echo request) is sent to the configured local IP address. If the equipment is available, it usually returns four responses together with the respective transmission time. The constant temperature equipment is switched on and connected to a single system or the network.

1. Open the command line interpreter (console) on a connected system.
   • Starting the console: A command line interpreter can be used on every operating system. On a Windows 10 operating system, for example, it can be accessed as follows: Start (right-click) Run cmd.exe
2. Enter the command “ping” and the IP address of the constant temperature equipment:
3. Syntax: “ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX”
4. UExample: ping 120.0.1.12.
5. Press [Enter] to confirm the entry
   • If available, the constant temperature equipment responds to the request immediately.

If the remote station is unavailable, check whether the following criteria have been met:

• The constant temperature equipment is connected to the same network as the test system.
• The test address corresponds to the address displayed in the menu of the constant temperature equipment.
• The configured network settings are correct.

If necessary, contact your system administrator.

Setting up the process interface

Activating the process interface (Process SST on/off)

The process interface option is only available when the DHCP client is deactivated. It ensures that the constant temperature equipment is always controlled via a fixed IP address.

The Ethernet interface can be configured as a process interface for controllingand monitoring the constant temperature equipment via Ethernet. The equipment can be accessed from your own application; the LAUDA command set is used for data transmission.

Warning: Still only one control system can be connected to the constant temperature equipment via the Ethernet interface. It is not possible to activate the equipment simultaneously from multiple systems. As soon as you select the PC control option in the menu of theconstant temperature equipment, you can establish the connection from the control system.

The constant temperature equipment is connected via the Ethernet interface and can be accessed from the network or single system. The network settings have been configured manually.

1. Enter the number for the Port.
   • The value determines which port number is used to establish the connection to the Process SST process interface. Port 54321 is the factory default setting, all free port numbers between 49152 – 65535 are permitted.
2. Activate the Process SST function:
   • Open the Modules Ethernet Process SST off / on menu.
   • Select the option on and confirm your selection.

Terminal

A terminal program can be used to establish the connection to the constant temperature equipment. For example, the freeware RealTerm , which can be downloaded from the following address: https://realterm.sourceforge.io/. The following settings are required:

1. Start the terminal program on the connected system.
2. Open the Port tab.
3. Enter the configured IP address and port number of the Ethernet interface into the Port field. The IP address and port number must be separated by a colon.
4. Send a test command such as the read command “TYPE” to the constant temperature equipment.
   • If the device type designation, for example “ECO”, is received in response, the connection has been set up correctly.

Setting up the virtual COM port

Set up a virtual COM port on the connected PC for easy communication via the activated process interface. The software used to control the constant temperature equipment must be capable of transmitting serial commands via Ethernet. If the software cannot do this, install driver software on the control system that emulates the Ethernet interface as a serial port. The “Virtual Serial Port Emulator” is an example of suitable software and is also available as freeware.

“Virtual Serial Port Emulator” software is not a LAUDA product. LAUDA cannot therefore offer any guarantees or support for the software.

Checking the connection monitoring function

The Ethernet USB module checks an existing TCP connection automatically every 15 seconds. If the function detects an interruption in the connection, a corresponding error message is sent to the connected system. A connected system must then initiate the establishment of a new connection.

Warning: The connected PC can be configured to attempt to re-establish a lost connection automatically. In this case, the PC must be configured to wait a minimum of 15 seconds before each attempt to re-establish a connection.

Maintenance

The interface module is maintenance-free. Any dust and dirt deposits should be cleaned from the connections on the interface module on a regular basis, especially if the interfaces are not being used.
