9.Ethernet local area network

ROTRONIC devices with an Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface presently use an internal module manufactured by Digi International (Digi Connect ME for a wired connection, Digi Connect WI-ME for a wireless connection). Both types of module feature a web interface that is used to configure the module.

IMPORTANT: The TCP/IP settings of both the HygroClip DI-4 and DI-4-WL should be configured to be compatible with the local area network. Detailed instructions are provided separately in document IN-E-TCPIP-Conf_10.doc(also available in PDF format).

Both the HygroClip DI-4 and DI-4-WL are shipped with a Device Configuration Certificate that provides information about the factory configuration settings of both the Ethernet module and device. See example below:

10. RS-485 multi-drop network

All models of HygroClip DI feature a RS-485 connector. When the number of available PC ports is limited, this connector can be used to connect together up to 64 HygroClip DI (or other devices) in a multi-dropped arrangement. In principle, an unlimited number of such networks can be monitored with the HW4 software, but each RS-485 multi-drop network is limited to 64 devices. The HygroClip DI can be used either as a slave or a master, without special configuration. The master is automatically the device that is directly connected to the PC or LAN by means of a USB port or TCP/IP port.

RS-485 Address: the RS-485 address is used to identify the individual devices that are connected to a RS-485 multi-drop and must be unique to each device. This address is part of the HygroClip DI communications protocol. The factory default for the RS-485 address is 00. In general, this address should not be changed manually (see note below). As far as HW4 is concerned, all masters can share the same RS-485 address. When the HW4 command “Search
