eI/O standard units are powered from a 9-30VDC source using the screw terminals on the side of the unit. Sealevel offers several power supply choices to make connection easy (see the Accessories chapter at the end of this document). The eI/O PoE units are Class 0 (IEEE 802.3af-2003) Power over Ethernet devices. This allows power and data to be transferred over a single CAT5 cable and eliminates the need for an external power supply.
The SeaMAX Suite is a collection of configuration/diagnostic utilities and software libraries that enable rapid application development. The SeaMAX API, included in the SeaMAX Suite, provides a common API for Sealevel eI/O and SeaDAC data acquisition modules. SeaMAX is designed to simplify application development by requiring little knowledge of the underlying communication protocols of these devices and replacing low-level programming.
Proceed with installing the SeaMAX Software Suite using the software disk that was included with your Sealevel I/O module. Software drivers are also available on the product webpage on the Sealevel website at www.sealevel.com. To install Sealevel Systems software, you must log in as an administrator or have administrator privileges in Windows. 1. Insert the Sealevel Systems disk in to your optical drive. 2. If „AutoRun‟ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically launch. 3.
5. Type the part number for your adapter in the text box and click „Enter‟, or click on the drop box to scroll from the listing to select your product. If you installed your hardware prior to loading/installing the drivers, please click on the „Click here if you installed hardware before software‟ button and follow the listed instructions. 6. Click the „Install Drivers‟ button to launch the Installation Wizard. 7.
1. To install the driver executable from the Sealevel disk, browse the Sealevel Systems disk for: Software\SeaMAX\Windows\SeaMAX Installer.exe 2. If you are using Windows Vista or newer operating systems, right click on the installer executable and choose ‟Run as Administrator‟. If you are using an operating system prior to Windows Vista, double click on the executable to launch the Installshield and initiate the driver installation. 3.
4. In the Device Manager under „Action‟, choose „Scan for hardware changes‟. This will prompt the installation of the adapter and associate it with the newly installed SeaMAX driver. The Sealevel Systems configuration utility, MaxSSD, is designed to simplify the installation, configuration, and diagnostics of Sealevel I/O modules. MaxSSD is a Microsoft Windows application and has been tested with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7.
Once the host computer is configured correctly, the “SeaI/O Configuration” tab becomes available. Before communicating with an eI/O module, the configuration utility must determine if there is an I/O module, and if so, what type of module it is. This is the purpose of the Get operation. The eI/O modules will respond to any Slave ID so just use the default. Click the “Get SeaIO Module Settings” button. After a short delay, the information for that I/O module should be displayed.
After the Get command is executed, the “Module Description” frame will display the model type, description, firmware version number, interface, and I/O type. In the example shown, the module found at slave ID 1 is an eI/O-120 module with a PoE (Modbus TCP) interface After a successful Get operation, additional tabs may be displayed in MaxSSD, depending on the device model found. These tabs display device I/O and allow easy configuration for all SeaMAX supported devices. ©Sealevel Systems, Inc.
The „Digital IO‟ tab of MaxSSD is displayed when using Sealevel I/O devices featuring discrete inputs and outputs. It displays the device‟s current input and/or output status in an intuitive and usable manner. When banks of inputs are displayed, the status LEDs update on each of the banks automatically. This allows you to actively monitor external signals. With a bank of outputs, the output coils can be set using the buttons below each output LED. As each coil is set, the I/O module is read.
Following these simple steps can eliminate most common problems. 1. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install the device in your system. 2. Uninstall any previous versions of the SeaMAX software before installing any new versions. 3. Install SeaMAX software before connecting any Sealevel I/O devices. Installing the software places the necessary files in the proper locations on your system. After installing the software, proceed with adding the hardware. 4.
Problem: The eI/O module starts up with a strange IP address (i.e., 192.168.42.253). All eI/O modules are shipped with enabled static IP address of 192.168.42.253. Also if the device is set to DHCP, and no DHCP server is available or the DHCP server cannot be reached, eI/O modules default to an IP address of 192.168.42.253. Change the PC‟s network settings to place both the eI/O module and PC on the same subnet.
Verify that SeaMAX software has been installed successfully and that an eI/O module is connected directly to your computer using the yellow crossover cable supplied with your module. All eI/O modules are shipped with DHCP enabled. When you first connect an eI/O module to the network, the status LEDs on the front of the module will blink while it searches for a DHCP server. Once it receives an IP address, the status LEDs will remain on.
An eI/O module may become no longer visible in the module list in the Ethernet Config utility if the eI/O module has been configured to use a different subnet than the host computer. In other cases, the eI/O module doesn‟t appear in the module list due to a DHCP discovery failure. In either case, clicking on the “Recover Module” button (see image on previous page) in the Ethernet Config utility will bring up the “Module Reset” window shown below.
Modules with version “2” or higher support several Advanced Features. You may determine the version of your SeaIO device using the MODBUS command FUNC_SEAMAX_GET_EXTENDED_INFO (0x66), using the SeaMAX method SM_GetDeviceConfig(), or by viewing the Module Description in MaxSSD, shown below. In the event that a newer version of the firmware is available, it is possible to upgrade the firmware in the unit. This can be done through the same port that is used to do normal communications with the unit.
Type Cd “C:\Program Files\Sealevel Systems\SeaMAX\” and then press Enter When the command calls for iii.iii.iii.iii you substitute the unit‟s IP address. Please do not enter the numbers with a leading zero. Therefore, if your IP address is 192.168.42.11, you will enter 192.168.42.11 and not 192.168.042.011. The command for this is therefore: iocu /i=192.168.42.11 /a=247 120.hex Once the unit has received the download request it will turn on the ACT light .
Once the proper file has been selected, click on the “Flash Firmware” button. At this point, SeaMAX will give you a warning dialog. If you click “OK” then MaxSSD will attempt to flash your device with new firmware. If you click on the “Cancel” button, no changes will be made. Clicking “OK” will result in IOCU.exe being run in a terminal window. Once the unit has received the download request it will turn on the ACT light. Once the download starts, the ACT light will flash rapidly as data is downloaded.
Optically isolated inputs are arranged such that each pair shares a single common. The four I/O points and shared commons are connected via a six-position removable screw terminal. Input voltage range is 5-30VDC. Unlike the inputs, each Reed relay utilizes a single common and connects via a four-position removable screw terminal. Form C Relay outputs are arranged such that each relay has a common.
eI/O Ethernet connector is used for both data and power in the PoE series of modules. Both DC on spares (Mode B) and mixed DC and data (Mode A) Power over Ethernet 802.3af-2003 configurations are acceptable for the eI/O. The eI/O PoE series modules are class 0 power over Ethernet devices. ©Sealevel Systems, Inc.
eI/O modules ship ready for mounting on DIN rail. A small, rugged plastic (shown below) is included that naps onto 35mm DIN rail. This offers a clean installation by locating the I/O modules near the industrial control equipment on the DIN rail. Additionally, 3.5mm removable screw terminals allow for an easy and reliable connection method. As an alternative to DIN rail, the versatile plastic clip includes mounting holes that allow eI/O modules to be mounted to walls, under counters, or inside panels.
A sudden electrostatic discharge can destroy sensitive components. Proper packaging and grounding rules must therefore be observed. Always take the following precautions: Transport boards and cards in electrostatically secure containers or bags. Keep electrostatically sensitive components in their containers, until they arrive at an electrostatically protected workplace. Only touch electrostatically sensitive components when you are properly grounded.
When calling for technical assistance, please have the device installed and ready to run diagnostics. If possible, have your user manual and current settings ready.
