3. Feature Summary
Primary Network
IEEE 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet compliant. Shielded RJ45 connector accepts
standard CAT5-type 8-conductor unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) patch cables.
Secondary Network
ASD common serial: The ETH-100 provides support for simultaneous
connection of three Toshiba 7-series, 9-series or VF-nC1 ASDs via the drives’
common serial (aka logic level) communication ports. ASD connections use
the same standard RJ45 style 8-conductor UTP patch cables: any standard
CAT5 Ethernet cable (found in most electronics stores) 5 meters or less in
length can be used to connect the ETH-100 to the drives.
Power Supply
Self-contained. Powered directly from the connected drives. Drives can be
connected to the ETH-100 on any channel (A, B or C) in any order or
combination. When more than 1 drive is connected to the unit, the ETH-100
will draw its control power from the drive with the highest power supply voltage.
Supported Protocols
• Primary Network
o Schneider Electric Modbus TCP/IP, release 1.0.
Conformance Class 0 and partial Class 1 compliant. Allows
up to 8 simultaneous Modbus TCP/IP client connections.
• Secondary Network
o Toshiba ASD (common serial)
Text-Based Console Configuration
Basic unit configuration is performed via a text-based console interface,
available locally over RS232 by using the included MMI cable and a standard
PC terminal program such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal®, or over
Ethernet via a Telnet session.
Macromedia® Flash-Enabled Embedded Web Server
Advanced unit configuration and drive monitoring/control are also provided via
an embedded web server using the HTTP protocol. The ETH-100’s web server
feature provides direct data access and control via standard web browsers
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. The latest
version of Macromedia Flash Player browser plug-in is required.
Point File-Based Configuration
A point file (primary / secondary network mapping definition file) is stored in the
unit’s internal battery-backed file system. Point files can also be uploaded
from / downloaded to a PC, which provides the capability for PC-based file
backup and easy configuration copying to multiple units. Sample point files
