New network drivers are continuously being added, and can be downloaded for
free from our web site.
Text-Based Console Configuration
Unit configuration is performed via a text-based console interface, available
locally over the RS232 port via a standard PC terminal program such as
Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal®.
Configuration File Upload/Download
A unit’s configuration can be uploaded from / downloaded to a PC, which
provides the capability for PC-based file backup and easy configuration copying
to multiple units. Pending availability, sample configuration files and related
documentation may also be downloaded from our web site, uploaded to a unit,
and custom-modified to suit a specific application.
Network Timeout Action
A per-port and per-point 2-level configurable network timeout action can be
programmed that allows each internal point to have its own unique “fail-safe”
condition in the event of a network interruption.
Indicators
2 green LEDs exist on each of the ASD ports and on the RS232 port connector.
Refer to section 10 for more detailed information about the LED indicators and
their meanings.
Field-Upgradeable
As new firmware becomes available, the unit can be upgraded in the field by
the end-user. Refer to section 17 for more information.
Versatile 3-Way DIN-Rail Mounting System
The unit’s enclosure is provided with a mounting clip attached to the rear of the
unit. This clip allows the unit to be mounted 3 different ways:
• For DIN rail mounting, snap the mounting clip onto a standard DIN rail,
and then snap the unit enclosure onto the clip’s retaining tabs. This
allows easy removal or repositioning of the unit on the DIN rail during
wiring.
• For panel mounting, the mounting clip can be bolted directly to a flat
panel via the two bolt holes at the top and bottom of the clip. Refer to
section 2.2 for mounting clip mechanical details. Once the mounting
clip is securely attached to the panel, the unit enclosure can be
snapped onto the clip’s retaining tabs.
• For fixed DIN rail mounting, a combination of the above two
techniques can be employed. First, snap the mounting clip onto a DIN
rail and position it in its desired location. Then, the mounting clip can
be bolted to the DIN rail support panel, securing it in place. Lastly, the
unit can be snapped onto the fixed mounting clip.
