2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Industrial Ethernet Node 2 (IE-NODE) is a remote sensor monitoring device with 10 4-20 mA
(current loop) sensor inputs designed to work alongside a PLC or other control systems.
However, the IE-NODE can be expanded up to 16 sensor inputs with the installation of an optional
expansion board. The board provides space for 6 additional NTC, contact or 4-20 mA inputs.
The IE-NODE operates by reading its sensor inputs and sending processed data when requested
by another system (e.g. PLC). The unit is equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet socket and supports
PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP protocols for easy integration with Siemens, Allen-Bradley
Rockwell, Modicon and other PLC’s or automation devices.
The IE-NODE can be used with the following 4B sensors:
4-20 mA Current Loop -

WARNING
The Control Unit is susceptible to static voltage, static handling precautions should be taken. Connection
of a clean ground to terminal 23 is essential for optimum performance.
Static Hazard – Clean Only With A Damp Cloth
Remove Power Before Opening Cover – Do Not Apply Power When Cover Is Open
7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
All wiring must be in accordance with local and national electrical codes and should be undertaken by
an experienced and qualied electrician. All equipment should be properly grounded prior to operation.
Additional wire used during the installation must have a temperature rating of 158° F (70° C) or above,
and be at least 24 AWG. 4B recommends using shielded cable to reduce electromagnetic interference
(EMI) to maintain signal integrity. Never run sensor cables in the same conduit as three phase motor
cables.
Always use dust/liquid tight exible metal conduit with approved ttings to protect the sensor cables.
Use rigid metal conduit to protect the cables from the sensors to the control unit. Conduit systems can
channel water due to ingress and condensation directly to sensors and sensor connections which over
time will adversely a󰀨ect the performance of the system. As such, the installation of low point conduit
drains is recommended for all sensors.
All electrical connections are shown in image 1.
FUSE RATINGS -
In order to maintain the product certication, all fuses MUST be replaced with equivalent fuses at the
same rating. Failure to do so will invalidate the certication and any warranties which may exist.

9. IE-NODE OPERATION
The Industrial Ethernet Node is designed to sample data from several sensors and provide this data to
remote users or PLC’s on request. It is only a reporting system, and does not control any other system
or device.
9.1 STARTUP OPERATION -
After all sensor and power connections have been made, locate the POWER and HB (Heart Beat)
LED’s on the IE-NODE’s control board (See Image 1). When the unit is powered on, the red power LED
should be solid and the green HB LED should begin ashing.
The HB LED will behave in one of four ways -
HB LED DESCRIPTION
O󰀨 No internal communications, indicates an issue with the rmware or hardware.
On Normal operation, no external communications from a PLC or other device.
Flashing Normal operation, external communication detected from a PLC or other
device.
Fading Bootloader mode (allows for software updates)
9.2 ROTARY SWITCH (SW1) -
The rotary switch on the IE-NODE (Image 2) is used for setting the node slave ID when using one of the
optional expansion boards that support RS485. Refer to the expansion board manual for installation
and setup.
If SW1 Node ID functionality is not enabled, the default Modbus ID number is derived from the last 2
digits of the product serial number. For example, if the last 2 digits of the serial number are ‘00’ then the
ID number becomes ‘100’ given that the ID number ranges from 1 to 100.

PAGE 16
9.4 PLC PROTOCOL SELECTION -
The IE-NODE will always have Modbus TCP/IP enabled, but it can also communicate over PROFINET
or Ethernet/IP (selectable).
9.5 TEMPERATURE UNIT -
The IE-NODE output temperature readings can be set as degrees Celcius or Fahrenheit.
9.6 BOOTLOADER SELECTION -
This switch selects whether bootloading for software updates is permitted or not. The switch is set to
OFF from the factory.
9.7 RTU NODE ID SOURCE -
This switch enables the Node ID settings for RS485 Modbus RTU. If the rotary switch (O󰀨 - Left) is
chosen, the node address is set from the rotary switch (Section 9.2). If internal (On - Right) is chosen,
then the node address is set from the IE-NODE Network Congurator Software (Section 11).
9.8 INTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR -
In addition to the 10 sensor inputs, the IE-NODE is tted with an internal NTC temperature sensor. This
device is mounted to the IE-NODE PCB and will therefore provide the temperature of the electronics.
If an IE-NODE is mounted in the eld, it could be used to approximate the local ambient temperature,
but will report temperatures approximately 10°F (5°C) higher than local ambient. For a more accurate
ambient temperature reading, an ambient temperature sensor can be wired to one of the 10 sensor
inputs.
9.3 DIP SWITCHES (SW2) -
The IE-NODE has a set of eight DIP switches to change settings (Image 3). Each switch setting is
described in the table below. If a switch setting is changed, the unit must be restarted for the change to
take e󰀨ect.

The IE-NODE comes with a standard RJ45 Ethernet Socket. The unit is sent out from the factory with
the following IP address settings pre-set:
FACTORY SETTING VALUE
IPV4 Address 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS Server 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS Server 0.0.0.1
The IE-NODE supports PROFINET and EtherNet/IP communication protocols. The data allocation is
exactly the same for both the protocols and detailed information can be found in the IE-NODE Data
Format document.
The byte order within words is dependent on the selected protocol. For PROFINET it is Little-Endian
and for EtherNet/IP it is Big-Endian.
Modbus TCP is supported in addition to PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. The Modbus TCP information
contains equivalent information to the PROFINET and EtherNet/IP array type communications.
The Ethernet Node also has an FTP server. This should only be used for rmware updates. User
should not use this FTP server to store any les as it may become problematic to perform future
rmware updates if not enough free space is left on the device. Contact 4B for a copy of the rmware
update guide.
10. COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS
11. EXPANSION BOARDS
Two expansion boards are available for the IE-NODE to expand total sensor inputs from 10 to 16.
1. The ETH-NODE-AUXI-6NTC expansion board allows for the support of up to 6 additional NTC
temperature sensors or 6 contact sensors, or any combination of 6.
2. The ETH-NODE-AUXI-6AN expansion board allows for the support of up to 6 additional 4-20 mA
(current loop) sensors.
Both boards add the capability to allow for an RS485 Modbus RTU connection to be made to access all
onboard sensor information. Refer to the expansion board manual(s) for installation and setup.
