DAEnetIP3 - EB

DAEnetIP3 - EB is multifunctional standalone embeded  Ethernet device for remote management and control with TCP/IP socket based protocol, Web, Telnet and serial commands access. Many controllers can be connected over LAN/WAN or serial network. It can work standalone (without PC). Several such controllers can work together (in distributed LAN network) and inputs of one controller can control outputs of another one. It suports TCP/IP socket protocol for custom software development with optional RC4 encrytion. (There are examples for TCP/IP communication in different languages).
It may be used for applications such as remote control over ethernet / internet, home automation, sensor processing, DAQ, simple PLC applications...

Instructions

Bellow is given shortcut for instructions how to connect the device DAE-PB-RO12/DI8/AI8 + DAEnetIP3-EB or only DAEnetIP3-EX for first time to router with UTP cable. In the user's manual are shown the rest connection types.

1. Connect DAEnetIP3 RJ45 port with UTP (doesn’t matter crossover or straight) cable.
2. Connect PC with the other side of the UTP cable.
3. Change the IP of the PC. It may be for example 192.168.0.1. (DAEnetIP3 is with 192.168.0.100).
4. Supply DAEnetIP3 with power supply 12 VDC (the middle pin of DAEnetIP3 power jack is +12VDC). The power led (with red color) must be on.
5. Open your browser (IE, Firefox, Opera) and type 192.168.0.100 in the address bar.
6. Use admin for password.
7. Open admin settings.
8. Change the Eth IP address of DAEnetIP3. Make it to be in one network with your router and PC. For example if your router is with IP 192.168.0.1 and PC with 192.168.0.101, make DAEnetIP3 with 192.168.0.100. Eth mask must be 255.255.255.0 and Eth gateway 192.168.0.1 (router IP)
9. Click “Save” button.
10. Unplug the power supply.
11. Disconnect the UTP cable from PC and connect it to the router.
12. Supply again the DAEnetIP3
13. Open browser and type 192.168.0.100.
14. Now you may access the DAEnetIP3 controller with router via router from PC.

Power Supply

Please pay attention that:

• The middle pin of the power jack is +12VDC
• There is not protection against reverse voltage.
• We recommend to use power supply adaptor that outputs 12 VDC stabilized.
• Inproper power supply voltage will damage the device !

Virtual Serial Port

DAEnetIP3 and all devices that are based on it may be accessed/controlled via Virtual Serial Port. In other words the the device in this auction may be accessed via COM Port RS232 commands from your computer because it will apear as COM Port:

• DAEnetIP3-Ex appears as VSP (COM Port) on your PC
• It may be accessed with any Serial Terminal (for exaple HyperTerminal)
• The only thing the user has to do is to send and receive commands via the COM Port. All the TCP/IP commnucation is done by the driver.
• There is not matter if your DAEnetIP3 device is connected to your PC over LAN cable or Wireless Wi-Fi network, it will appear as VSP (COM Port) on your PC. You need to set only the proper IP, Port and COM Port Name.

Example commands and responses that are sent/received via the DAEnetIP3 VSP (COM Port). The serial address of DAEnetIP3 is 00.

• Get Digital Input 1 level (Din1), counting in the commands is zero based:
  • Send: 00BV0=?;
  • Receive: 00BV0=0; //The level is low
• Get Analog Input 1 level (Ain1), counting in the commands is zero based:
  • Send: 00CV0=?;
  • Receive: 00CV0=512;
• Set Digital Output 12 (Do12) in High level, counting in the commands is zero based:
  • Send: 00ASB=1;
  • Receive: 00ASB=1;
• Get the Ethernet IP address of the module.
  • Send: 00MIP=?;
  • Receive: 00MIP=192.168.0.100;

All the commands are described in the  DAEnetIP3 user's manual

16 x Digital outputs

DAEnetIP3 has 16 digital outputs working in 19 different modes. However the peripheral board DAE-PB/RO12/DI8/AI8 has only 12 relay outputs. So to set the relays you need to change DO0 - DO11. When the output level is 0, the relay is OFF. When it is 1, the relays is ON.

- Control the relays via user-friendly Web interface

The digital outputs states are refreshed automaticaly. The user doesn't have to click browser refresh button each time.

8 x Digital inputs

DAEnetIP3 has 8 digital inputs working in 3 different modes. The DAEnetIP3 PortB.0 DI is connected with DAE-PB/RO12/DI8/AI8 Din1, PortB.7 is connected with Din8. When the PortB.X is 1, this means there is high level signal in DinX. When it is 0, this means DinX is not connected or there is low level signal.
The input may be tracked only, may control some PortA digital output by rising/falling edge or it may control even output from another DAEnetIP3 controller (connected in the same Wireless / Ethernet network).

- Read the digital input states via user-friendly Web interface

The digital inputs states are refreshed automaticaly. The user doesn't have to click browser refresh button each time.

- Example commands for TCP/IP. (RC4 encryption is off). Serial address of the device is 00

8 x Analog inputs

DAEnetIP3 has 8 analog inputs with 2.5 VDC reference voltage source and 1024 bit resolution. The DAE-PB/RO12/DI8/AI8 peripheral board extends the input voltage to be from 0 to 10VDC.The DAEnetIP3 PortC.0 AI is connected with DAE-PB/RO12/DI8/AI8 Ain1, PortC.7 is connected with Ain8. The input voltage may be calculated by the following formula:

V_Ain(X) = (PortC(X-1) / 1023) * 10, where V_Ain (X) is the input voltage of the The DAE-PB/RO12/DI8/AI8 Ain channel with number X (X is from 1 to 7). PortC(X-1) is the DAEnetIP3 analog input channel with number X-1 (X-1 is from 0 to 7). So for example if we have PortC.0= 512, this means the input voltage is 5.00V. If we have 742, the input voltage is 7.253V.

The input may be tracked only, may control some PortA digital output by crossing threshold or it may control even output from another DAEnetIP3 controller (connected in the same Wireless / Ethernet network).

- Read the digital input states via user-friendly Web interface

The analog inputs values are refreshed automaticaly. The user doesn't have to click browser refresh button each time.

- Example commands for TCP/IP. (RC4 encryption is turned off). Serial address of the device is 00

Get Ain8 (PortC.7) state. The input level is 1002 (From 1023 max).
Send: 00CV7=?;
Receive: 00CV7=1002;



- Example commands for Telnet. It is the same protocol, but the serial address is not included (You may access with telnet only one controller)

Get Ain1 (PortC.0) state. The input level is 512 (From 1023 max).
Send: CV0=?;
Receive: CV0=512;


- Example commands for UART. Serial address of the device is 00

Get Ain1 (PortC.0) state. The input level is 512 (From 1023 max). CRC16 is OFF.
Send: 00CV0=?;
Receive: 00CV0=512;

Send: 00CV0=?3B2A;
Receive:00CV0=512F4EA;

Software examples

There are developed several small open source applications to show you that it is very easy to communicate with the DAEnetIP3 controller. They are for now in Visual Basic 6 and Borland C++ Builder 6. The examples show TCP/IP socket communication with DAEnetIP3. It is possible to read analog/digital inputs and control the digital outputs. All the rest parameters can be accessed the same way. Note that for get the examples work you need to turn OFF the RC4 encryption of DAEnetIP3. The examples does not provide RC4.

Demo videos 

Demo video with two devices connected via ethernet utp cable. There are 8 push buttons connected to the first one and one ABB ultrasonic distance sensor connected to the analog inputs of the another one. The inputs of the devices control not only their relays, but the relays of the remote device.

Demo video showing 8 buttons connected to the digital inputs of the module. Each button demonstrates different controlling some of the relays.

This is example of how analog inputs controls the digital outputs (relays). When some analog input crosses low/high threshold the relay starts/stops making pulses. This is one of the many functions of this PLC module. It is connected with PC directly with ethernet cable. All the processes can be monitored via web browser dynamicaly (with auto-refresh).
