Using the LGE
The LGE is a gateway module that provides
communication between a workstation and a
control module network (CMnet) consisting of
fewer than 100 modules. Up to 199 gateways
can be networked together on an LGnet,
allowing the LGEs to route global information
between CMnets. Note that versions of
SuperVision earlier than 3.01 do not support
more than 60 gateways.
The LGE provides an Ethernet 10base-T port
for 10Mbps communication with the LGnet,
one console port that can be connected to a
workstation or portable computer, and an
Access Port. The console port has a 9-pin
connector that can be used to connect to a
workstation, portable computer, or modem.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol) is a family of protocols used
for computer communications. The LGE uses
the UDP/IP (User Datagram Protocol/Internet
Protocol) of the TCP/IP family. The
workstation must be configured to
communicate with the LGE over TCP/IP as
discussed in the document TCP/IP Setup for
SuperVision.
The LGE uses the CEM module driver; for
more information, see the CEM Module Driver
document on the Automated Logic website at
www.automatedlogic.com.
CAUTION Changes or modifications to this
unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate equipment.
NOTE This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

Mounting
Screw the LGE into an enclosed panel using
the mounting holes provided on the cover
plate. Be sure to leave about 2 inches (5
centimeters) on each side for wiring.
Addressing
LGnet Addressing
The LGE has two rotary switches and a DIP
switch used to assign the LGE’sLGnet
address. One rotary switch corresponds to the
tens digit and the other corresponds to the
ones digit. DIP switch four corresponds to the
100s digit.
For example, if the LGE’s LGnet address is 3,
set DIP switch four to zero (see Figure 2), the
rotary tens switch to zero, and the rotary ones
switch to three (see Figure 3).
NOTE SuperVision v2.6 and some gateways
may not recognize an LGE if its address is
higher than 60. However, LGEs recognize
gateways with addresses from 1 to 199.

Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the LGE’s power is off. The LGE only
reads the address when the module is turned
on. After changing the address, you must
transfer memory to the module. Refer to
“Transferring Memory”on page 6.
IP Addressing
TCP/IP must be set up on the workstation
with an active IP address before configuring
the module’s IP address (refer to TCP/IP Setup
for SuperVision for a detailed procedure).
You can use a default IP address for the LGE
that is created by the module, or assign an IP
address if required by the customer. The IP
Addr switch (see Figure 2 on page 3)
determines which IP address is used.
•Default: When the IP Addr DIP switch
is set to Default, the following IP
networking parameters are
automatically set on the CEM Parameter
page:
IP Address = 192.168.168.XXX, where
XXXistheLGE’s LGnet address (see
“LGnet Addressing”on page 3).
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
D e fau lt G at e way A d d r e s s =
19 2 . 168.168.254
NOTE The default gateway address is
an intranet address. This means that
data packets from this address are
dropped by all internet routers and are
not sent beyond the local network
segment.
•Assigned: When the IP Addr DIP
switch is set to Assigned, you must set
the above parameters on the CEM
Parameter page.
Use the following procedure to set the IP
address when using the Default mode:
1. SettheIPAddrDIPswitchtoDefault.
2. Turn the LGE’s power on.
3. If using SuperVision v2.6, edit your HOSTS
file to include the following line for each
gateway (see TCP/IP Setup for SuperVision
for a detailed procedure):
192.168.168.x
Wherexisthegateway’saddressas
defined in “LGnet Addressing”on page 3.
4. If using SuperVision v2.6, run Setup.exe
on the disk shipped with your LGE.
This setup copies updated Portman files to
your emsys folder.
5. Configure the connection as Network in
SuperVision Plus v3.01 or NetBIOS in
SuperVision v2.6.
Use the following procedure to set the IP
address when using the Assigned mode:
1. ObtainanIPaddressfromthejobsite’s
Network Administrator.
2. Establish communication with the LGE
through SuperVision using one of the
connection types in Table 1.
3. Enter the following information, provided

Wiring
Power Wiring
The LGE has an operating range of 21.6VAC to
26.4VAC. If voltage measured at the module’s
power input terminals is outside this range,
the module may not work properly.
CAUTION The LGE module is a Class 2
device (less than 30VAC, 100VA maximum).
Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting the LGE module in a control panel
where non-class 2 devices or wiring are
present.
You can power several modules from the
same transformer if you maintain the same
polarity.
1. Turn the module’s power off. This
prevents the module from being powered
up before the proper voltage is verified.
2. Make sure the 24VAC power source is off.
3. Connect the power wires to the module’s
power terminals labeled Ground and
24VAC (see Figure 1 for location).
4. Apply power to the transformer.
5. Make sure that 24VAC is present at the
module’spowerinputterminals.
6. Set the module’s LGnet address. Refer to
“Addressing”on page 3 for details about
setting the address.
7. Turn the LGE’s power switch on and verify
that the Run and Error LEDs are blinking.
Verify that the Error LED turns off and the
Run LED continues blinking (see Table 3
on page 8 to troubleshoot the LEDs).
Communications Wiring
When communicating at 156 kbps, the CMnet
uses a unique implementation of the industry
standard ARCNET protocol called ARC156.
For a summary of the differences between
ARCNET and ARC156, please refer to the
ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical Instructions.
Use the appropriate wire for CMnet
communications. When communicating with
the ARC156 protocol, use an A3ARC156 wire
available from:
Magnum Cable Corporation
Cleveland, OH 44110-0500
[phone]
Use a dedicated 22AWG to 18 AWG twisted
pair (EIA-485) for legacy CMnet wiring. For
more information about CMnet wiring, refer
to the Technical Handbook or to ARC156
CMnet Wiring Technical Instructions.
Connecting to the CMnet
1. Turn off the power.
2. Connect the CMnet wires to the LGE’s
screw terminals as shown in Figure 4 on
page 6. Be sure to follow the same

Revised 12/22/99 •LGE 6 © 1999 Automated Logic Corporation
polarity as used throughout the rest of the
CMnet.
3. Make sure the LGE is configured for the
correct baud rate.
On an ARC156 CMnet (156 kbps), set DIP
switch three to ARC156 (see Figure 2 on
page 3).
If you are using a legacy CMnet (9600 bps
or 38.4 kbps), set DIP switch three to
Legacy, and set DIP switch one to
determine the baud rate (see Figure 2 on
page 3).
Connecting to the LGnet
Connect a LAN 10base-T cable to the
Ethernet port (see Figure 1 on page 2).
Transferring Memory
The LGE uses the CEM module driver. No
other FBs can be added to the LGE. If any
problems occur during this procedure,
contact Technical Support at [phone].
Memory transfers that include changing the
module driver or its version number take
longer than other types of transfers.
1. Connect your workstation or portable
computer to the LGE. Refer to
“Communicating with the Workstation”.
2. Navigate to the module driver and look at
the module status report in SuperVision.
Make sure the type is 70 and make sure
the CMnet address agrees with the
module.
•To view the module status report in
SuperVision v3.0, click Tools-
Troubleshooting-Module Status.
•To view the module status report in
SuperVision v2.6b, press the Esc key,
type MO , , module address,15
and press Enter.
3. Transfer memory to the module.
•In SuperVision v3.0, click Tools-
Troubleshooting-Transfer Memory to
Module.
•In SuperVision v2.6b, download
memory for This Module.
4. When the memory transfer is finished,
check the module status report again.
Make sure the FB List on this page shows
all the FBs you intended to transfer.
Troubleshooting
Communicating with the Workstation
The LGE has one console port with a baud
rate of 38.4 kbps that you can use to connect
to a workstation. The console port can
connect directly to the workstation’sserial
port or to a modem, through which you can
dial the workstation. Use the wiring diagrams
in Figure 5 on page 7 to connect the Console
Port to a workstation or a modem.
The Access Port must connect to a
workstation through an APT (see Figure 6).
The Access Port’sbaudrateisdeterminedby
thebaudrateDIPswitchonthemodule(see
Figure 2 on page 3).
Use the following procedure to connect the
Access Port to a workstation.
1. Connect the computer’s serial port to the
EIA-232 port of the APT using a standard
straight-throughcable(seeFigure6).

2. Set the APT’s Mode Select switch.
•On an ARC156 CMnet, use the TTL
setting.
•On a legacy CMnet, use the 485 setting.
3. Connect the APT’sAccessPorttothe
module’sAccessPort.
4. In SuperVision, define the connection type
using Table 2.
Formatting the Module
When you are unable to communicate with a
module, you can, as a last resort, manually
format the module to try to restore
communication. Formatting the module
erases all memory, so you need to transfer
memory back to the module once it is
formatted.
1. Turn the module’s power off. Make sure
the module’saddressswitchesarenotset
to ‘00’.
2. Press and hold the Format button (see
Figure 1 on page 2 for location). While
continuing to hold the Format button, turn
the module’s power on.
3. Continue to hold the button until the Error
LED flashes three times in sync with the
Run LED.
4. Release the Format button.
5. Transfer memory to the module. Refer to
“Transferring Memory”on page 6.
