5.3 RS-485 Connections
The device possesses 9 RS-485 channels (Ch1 Ch9).
Per channel a maximum number of 63 ECblue fans can be installed, the Gateway acts
as a MODBUS master.
The connection of the fans takes place at the respective RJ45 terminals (Ch1 - Ch9), in
the simplest case with pre-assembled patch cables to avoid wrong connection.
Recommended wire types: CAT5 / CAT5E ; STP / SFTP
Please ensure the correct connection; i.e. A (D+) must always be connected to A
(D+) of the next devices. The same applies to B (D-).
In addition, a GND connection must be established, as irregular potential (over 10 V!)
could lead to the destruction of the RS-485 interface (e.g. lightning).

6 Communication
6.1 Network installation
The connection of the NETcon MB/TCP Gateway at an Ethernet network is made with
patch lines (e.g. CAT5) to the shielded RJ-45 socket present on the equipment. The
rules of wiring 10/100 Base-T networks are to be kept.
Usually a star wiring is made, i.e. all Ethernet devices are attached in a 10/100 Base-T
network to an Ethernet switch or hub.
In simple cases, the NETcon MB/TCP Gateway can also be attached directly over a
crossover cable at a PC or a router.
6.2 IP Address
An unique IP address, a subnet mask and a gateway address needs to be assigned for
each device to allow communication within TCP/IP Ethernet networks and can be
realised in one of two ways:
Automatic assignment in a network with DHCP- and DNS-Server
Manual assignment (in a network without DHCP-Server / it exists so far no net-
work)
6.2.1 Automatic assignment in a network with DHCP- and DNS-Server
On delivery the NETcon MB/TCP Gateway is adjusted for DHCP. If the NETcon MB/TCP
Gateway operates in a network with DHCP and DNS servers a valid IP address will be
assigned to it automatically when it is connected to the DHCP server.
6.2.2 Manual assignment
Manual assignment of the IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway address of the
NETcon MB/TCP Gateway can be done using PC-Software called "@CHIPTOOL"
(Internet link: www.beck-ipc.com). The software can list all NETcon MB/TCP Gateways
and you can assign an individual IP conguration to each device (
IP-conguration
with CHIPTOOL).
Depending on the application needs, this could be handled differently:
It exists a network without DHCP server
Get a valid IP address from your system administrator and adjust it then using the IP
conguration with @CHIPTOOL software (
IP-conguration with CHIPTOOL).
It does not exist a network and your PC has no IP address
You need to congure both devices.
PC (Windows XP):
Start <Settings> <Network and Dial-up connections>
Right mouse button on <Local Area Connection> <Properties>
Choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on <Properties>.
Operating Instructions NETcon model series DIG-9NE Communication
L-BAL-E134-GB 2105 Index 002 Part.-No.

Choose <Use the following IP address> and enter for example these values:
IP-Address: 192.168.1.x (For x enter a number between 1 and 254)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: (With WLAN the address of the WLAN Routers otherwise no entry neces-
sarily)
In order to be able to make these adjustments on the PC, administrator rights are
necessary.
Same adjustments can be made with the @CHIPTOOL software at the NETcon MB/TCP
Gateway (
IP-conguration with CHIPTOOL). However you should change x to
another number different than the one above, because IP addresses may never be
assigned twice in the network.
Example:
For your PC you select the IP address: 192.168.1.100
And for the NETcon MB/TCP Gateway you select: 192.168.1.50
Your PC uses DHCP (IP address is obtained automatically)
There is the possibility to assign an alternative IP address. This adjustment is different
for different Windows versions.
At newer versions click on <Extended> for the IP-Settings. Then click on IP-addresses
<Add> and enter the values as descriebed in <It does not exist a network and your PC
has no IP address> (see above) or choose the item <Alternative IP-Adresse> (if exists)
and enter the same values as descriebed in <It does not exist a network and your PC
has no IP address> (see above).
Your PC possesses an IP address and the NETCON MB/TCP Gateway is attached
to your PC through a crossover cable
Select for the NETcon MB/TCP Gateway an IP address which lies in the same subnet as
the IP address of your PC and adjust these using the @CHIPTOOL software (
IP-
conguration with CHIPTOOL).
Information
Note! IP addresses in the network do not assign doubly!

6.3 IP-conguration with CHIPTOOL
The Software @CHIPTOOL lists all IPC@Chips which were found in the network. One
of these IPC@Chips is implemented in the NETcon MB/TCP Gateway (
gure 1:
@CHIPTOOL).
Figure 1: @CHIPTOOL
Now choose the device, whose IP conguration should be changed. Click with right
mouse button on the corresponding row and choose in the context menu <IP congu-
ration>. You can now see a window as shown in gure (Figure 2: IP conguration). Enter
the desired IP address, network mask and gateway if necessary. Click on button <con-
g> to transfer the data. You can leave the window by clicking the button <Close> when
the message "Conguration successful" is shown up at the lower border of the window.

6.4 For use in a network with Proxy-Server
Information
If a proxy server is used in your LAN you should bypass it in relation to the NETcon
MB/TCP Gateway!
The following adjustments must be made in addition in the Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Tools <Internet options>
Choose index card <Connections>
Local Area Network Settings: click on <LAN-Settings>
Proxy server click on <Advanced>
In window "Exceptions":
Finish last entry (if any) with semicolon and add IP address of NETcon MB/TCP
Gateway to the list.
Close all windows with <OK>!
Using WinXP service pack 2 the windows rewall must be deactivated.
6.5 Addressing with MODBUS TCP/IP
The following is valid for communication with the devices over MODBUS TCP/IP:
Example:
Gateway channel 1 (Ch1) Gateway IP-Address/port 501/MB slave Address (1-63)
Gateway channel 2 (Ch2) Gateway IP-Address/port 502/MB slave Address (1-63)
Gateway channel 3 (Ch3) Gateway IP-Address/port 503/MB slave Address (1-63)
Gateway channel 4 (Ch4) Gateway IP-Address/port 504/MB slave Address (1-63)
Gateway channel 5 (Ch5) Gateway IP-Address/port 505/MB slave Address (1-63)
Gateway channel 6 (Ch6) Gateway IP-Address/port 506/MB slave Address (1-63)
Gateway channel 7 (Ch7) Gateway IP-Address/port 507/MB slave Address (1-63)
Gateway channel 8 (Ch8) Gateway IP-Address/port 508/MB slave Address (1-63)
Gateway channel 9 (Ch9) Gateway IP-Address/port 509/MB slave Address (1-63)

6.6 Debug mode
To activate the function (text output via Telnet), @CHIPTOOL must be started and a
"Telnet" connection to the device needs to be established.
To do this, mark the device, click with the right mouse button on the line and in the
context menu select <Telnet> (
gure 1: @CHIPTOOL).
Afterwards the window gure 3: Telnet connection appears.

6.7 MODBUS: Timeout
In the le "Chip.ini", on the Drive A of the Gateway, the timeout can be set. The Factory
setting is 500 (500ms). The "Chip.ini" can be changed with CHIPTOOL.
[NCGATEWAY]
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 1
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 2
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 3
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 4
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 5
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 6
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 7
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 8
TIMEOUT1=500 Timeout channel 9
If a node is not reached after the set timeout, the exception code 0x0B is issued.
Is the transaction buffer (max. 20 transactions per channel can be buffered) at the limit,
the exception code 0x0A is issued.
The timeout on the client side must be higher than the timeout of the gateway. We
recommend a client timeout of 2 x Gateway timeout
