Turbo PMAC2 Realtime Express Controller
Hardware Setup
Ethernet / Modbus Connection, J2
This connector is used for Ethernet communications from the Turbo PMAC2 Eth Ultralite to a PC
or into an Ethernet network. The default IP address for all Delta Tau products with Ethernet
communication capability is 192.6.94.5 which can be changed later with the proper software
provided by Delta Tau.
This port can support Modbus communication and can act as either Server or Client on a Modbus
Network. There are four sockets available on this port and each of them can be configured as
Modbus Server/ Modbus Client / PMAC ASCII or PMAC INTR. If you want to use this port for
communication purposes with the controller, you need to set at least one of the sockets to PMAC
ASCII.
Note:
Delta Tau Systems strongly recommends the use of RJ45 CAT5e or better
shielded cable.
Newer network cards have the Auto-MDIX feature that eliminates the need
for crossover cabling by performing an internal crossover when a straight
cable is detected during the auto-negotiation process.
For older network cards, one end of the link must perform media dependent
interface (MDI) crossover (MDIX), so that the transmitter on one end of the
data link is connected to the receiver on the other end of the data link (a
crossover/patch cable is typically used). If an RJ45 hub is used, then a regular
straight cable must be implemented.
Maximum length for Ethernet cable should not exceed 100m (330ft).
