ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™ CONTROLLER INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.3 TCP/IP Communication Module

For remote on-site viewing of system status and settings of any controller, use the TCP/IP communi- cation module to connect the controllers to a Local Area Network (LAN) via Ethernet cable. Any computer on the LAN that has ULTRAVAC™ soft- ware installed can be used to communicate with the controllers.

The module must be mounted inside the ULTRAVAC™ central controller (controller #1) enclosure next to the control board. The power (5V) for the module will come from the ULTRAVAC™ control board. The module will communicate to the controller via regular phone wire from the RJ11 jack on the module to the RS-232 direct connect port on the control board. The module will relay the data

from the controller to computers on the LAN via Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ45 jack on the module. A setup procedure must be performed on the module upon installation to create its IP address on the LAN. The setup instructions can be found in the ROBERTS GORDON® Software Manual (P/N 10081600NA).

For TCP/IP communication module wiring details, see Page 33, Figure 18.

If multiple ULTRAVAC™ controllers are being used, the additional controllers communicate to controller #1 through RS-485 communication wiring arranged in-series from one controller to the next. See Page 35, Section 5.5. This allows multiple controllers to be controlled from a PC through a single communication package at the central controller.
