FUNCTION MODES:
The device has got two function modes depending on the position of the ‘Dip1 of Dip-Switch A’:
The first, with ‘Dip1 of Dip-Switch A’ at “OFF” position, is used for the normal working of the device.
The second, with ‘Dip1 of Dip-Switch A’ at “ON” position, is used for uploading the roject and/or Firmware.
For the operations to follow for the updating, see ‘U DATE DEVICE’ section.
According to the functioning mode, the LEDs will have specific functions, see ‘LEDS’ section.

ETHERCAT
EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system, invented by Beckhoff Automation.
The protocol is standardized in IEC 61158 and is suitable for both hard and soft real-time computing requirements in automation technology.
With EtherCAT, the standard Ethernet packet or frame (according to IEEE 802.3) is no longer received, interpreted, and copied as process
data at every node. The EtherCAT slave devices read the data addressed to them while the telegram passes through the device, processing
data "on the fly". In other words, real-time data and messages are prioritized over more general, less time-sensitive or heavy load data.
The converter has two EtherCAT ports, one is used as Input port (Connector6) and it will receive the incoming messages from the Master,
the other is used as Output port (Connector7) and i twill forward the messages to the others nodes of the network.

RS232:
The connection from RS232 socket to a serial port (example one from a personal computer) must be made with a NULL MODEM cable (a
serial cable where the pins 2 and 3 are crossed).
It is recommended that the RS232 cable not exceed 15 meters.

RS485:
For terminate the RS485 line with a 120Ω resistor it is necessary to put ON dip 1, like in figure.
The maximum length of the cable should be 1200m (4000 feet).
Here some codes of cables:
Belden: p/n 8132 - 2x 28AWG stranded twisted pairs conductor + foil shield + braid shield;
Belden p/n 82842 - 2x 24AWG stranded twisted pairs conductor + foil shield + braid shield;
Tasker: p/n C521 - 1x 24AWG twisted pair conductor + foil shield + braid shield;
Tasker: p/n C522 - 2x 24AWG twisted pairs conductor + foil shield + braid shield.

ETHERNET:
The updating of the converter must be made using Connector8 of the HD67E18-x-A1 with at least a Category 5E cable. The maximum length
of the cable should not exceed 100m. The cable has to conform to the T568 norms relative to connections in cat.5 up to 100 Mbps. To
connect the device to an Hub/Switch is recommended the use of a straight cable, to connect the device to a C/ LC/other is recommended
the use of a cross cable.

USE OF COMPOSITOR SW67E18:
To configure the Converter, use the available software that runs with Windows called SW67E18. It is downloadable on the site
www.adfweb.com and its operation is described in this document. (This manual is referenced to the last version of the software present on
our web site). The software works with MSWindows (X , Vista, Seven, 8, 10, 11; 32/64bit).
When launching the SW67E18, the window below appears (Fig. 2).
Note:
It is necessary to have installed .Net Framework 4.

NEW CONFIGURATION / OPEN CONFIGURATION:
The “New Configuration” button creates the folder which contains the entire device’s configuration.
A device’s configuration can also be imported or exported:
To clone the configurations of a programmable “EtherCAT Slave / NMEA0183 -
Converter” in order to configure another device in the same manner, it is necessary
to maintain the folder and all its contents;
To clone a project in order to obtain a different version of the project, it is sufficient
to duplicate the project folder with another name and open the new folder with the
button “Open Configuration”.
