Using the LGRM-E
The LGRM-E is part of the Gateway family and
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 LGRM-Es to route global information
between CMnets. While the LGRM-E supports
199 gateways, versions of SuperVision earlier
than 3.01 do not support more than 60
gateways.
The LGRM-E provides an Ethernet 10base-T
port for 10Mbps communication with the
LGnet. Two console ports that can be
connected to a workstation, portable
computer, or modem, an Auxiliary Device
Port (Keypad/Display Port), and an Access
Port are also provided.
Console Port 1 is a 9-pin EIA-232 connector.
Console Port 2 is a 5-pin terminal jumper.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol) is a family of protocols used
for computer communications. The LGRM-E
uses the UDP/IP (User Datagram Protocol/
Internet Protocol) of the TCP/IP family. The
workstation must be configured to
communicate with the LGRM-E over TCP/IP
as discussed in the document TCP/IP Setup for
Windows 95/NT and SVW 2.6 (Part number
LGTCPIP).
The LGRM-E must use v6.00g or later of the
LEM module driver; for more information, see
the LEM Module Driver document on the
Automated Logic website at
www.automatedlogic.com
or on the SupportPlus CD.

Mounting
The LGRM-E is rack-mounted using four
holes on the faceplate (see Figure 1 on page
2). If a rack is not available, the LGRM-E can
be mounted with mounting brackets.
The LGRM-E is designed to be mounted inside
the building. All warranties are void if
mounted outside.
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.
Addressing
LGnet addressing
The LGRM-E has two rotary switches and a
DIP switch used to assign the LGRM-E’s
address. One rotary switch corresponds to the
tens digit and the other corresponds to the
ones digit. DIP switch six corresponds to the
100s digit.
NOTE SuperVision v2.6 and some gateways
may not recognize an LGRM-E if the its
address is higher than 60. However, LGRM-Es
recognize peer gateways with addresses from
1 to 199.
For example, if the LGRM-E’s address is 3, set
DIP switch six to zero (see Figure 2), the tens
rotary switch to zero, and the ones rotary
switch to three (see Figure 3).

Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the LGRM-E’s power is off. The LGRM-E
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 7.
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 the TCP/IP
Setup for SuperVision Workstations Technical
Instructions for a detailed procedure).
You can use a default IP address for the
LGRM-E that is created by the module, or
assign an IP address if required by the
customer. The IP ADD switch (Figure 2 on
page 3) determines which IP address is used.
• Default: When the IP ADD switch is set
to Default, the following IP networking
parameters are automatically set on the
LEM Parameter page:
IP Address = 192.168.168.XXX, where
XXX is the LGRM-E’s LGnet address (see
“LGnet addressing” on page 3).
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway Address =
19 2 . 168.168.254
NOTE The default gateway address is
an intranet address. This means that the
data packets from this address are
dropped by all internet routers and are
not sent beyond the local network
segment.
• Assigned: When the IP ADD DIP switch
is set to Assigned, you must set the
above parameters on the LEM
Parameter page.
Default mode
Use the following procedure to set the IP
address when using the Default mode:
1. Set the IP ADD DIP switch to Default.
2. Turn the LGRM-E’s power on.
3. If using SuperVision v2.6, edit your HOSTS
file to include the following line for each
gateway (see the TCP/IP Setup for
SuperVision Workstations Technical
Instructions for a detailed procedure):
192.168.168.x
Where x is the gateway’s address as
defined in “LGnet addressing” on page 3.
4. If using SuperVision v2.6, run Setup.exe
on the disk shipped with your LGRM-E.
This setup copies updated Portman files to
your emsys folder.
5. Configure the connection as Network in
SuperVision Plus v3.01 and later or
NetBIOS in SuperVision v2.6.
Assigned mode
Use the following procedure to set the IP
address when using the Assigned mode:
1. Obtain an IP address from the job site’s
Network Administrator.
2. Set the IP ADD DIP switch to Assigned.
3. If using SuperVision v2.6, edit your HOSTS
file to include the following line for each
gateway (see TCP/IP Setup for SuperVision
Workstations Technical Instructions for a
detailed procedure):
IP Address LGx
Where IP Address is the address assigned
by the Network Administrator and x is the
gateway’s LGnet address.
4. If using SuperVision v2.6, run Setup.exe
on the disk shipped with your LGRM-E.

Revised 11/6/02 • LGRM-E 5 © 2002 Automated Logic Corporation
This setup copies updated Portman files
files to your emsys folder.
NOTE If SuperVision is running, exit and
restart SuperVision before performing step 5.
5. Establish communication with the
LGRM-E through SuperVision using one of
the connection types in Table 1.
6. Enter the following information, provided
by the Network Administrator, on the LEM
Parameter page and transfer parameters:
• the Assigned IP address
• the Assigned Subnet Mask
• the Default Gateway Address
7. Configure your connections page for
Network in SuperVision Plus v3.01 and
later, or NetBIOS in SuperVision v2.6.
Wiring
Power Wiring
Whenever possible, make sure the module’s
power and communications connections are
working properly before connecting any input
or output points.
CAUTION The LGRM-E module is a Class 2
device (less than 30VAC, 100VA maximum).
Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting the LGRM-E module in a control
panel where non-Class 2 devices (for
example, 120VAC) or wiring are present.
You can power several modules from the
same transformer if you maintain the same
polarity.
Use the following procedure to connect
power to the LGRM-E.
1. Turn off the LGRM-E’s power switch.
2. Connect the terminal strip connector (see
Figure 4) to the power connector on the
back of the LGRM-E (see Figure 5 on page
6).
3. Plug the power adaptor into an outlet.
4. Turn the module’s power switch on.
When the module turns on, the Run and
Power LEDs turn on. The Run LED begins
blinking and the Error LED turns off. See
Table 3 on page 10 to troubleshoot the
LEDs. If the module does not respond,
call Technical Support at [phone].
To use the Auxiliary Device Port (Keypad/
Display Port), plug the ALC #240034 wall
transformer into an outlet and attach the
other end to the auxiliary power connector.
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:

pair (EIA-485) for legacy CMnet. For more
information about CMnet, refer to the
Technical Handbook or to ARC156 CMnet
Wiring Technical Instructions.
Configure the communication speeds using
the DIP switches (see Figure 1 on page 2 for
location). Each switch functions as follows:
CMnet Sets the CMnet baud rate at 9600/
38.4 baud.
Con 1 Sets Console Port 1’s baud rate at
9600 or 38.4 baud.
Con 2 Sets Console Port 2’s baud rate at
9600 or 38.4 baud.
IP Add Sets the addressing mode to either
Default or Assigned on the 10base-T
Ethernet connection (see “IP Addressing”
on page 4 for more information).
Mode Sets the CMnet to either ARCNET (156
kbps) or Legacy (9600/38.4 baud).
1. Turn off the power.
2. Attach the two CMnet communications
wires to the CMnet connection labeled
Net - and Net + on the LGRM-E (see Figure
1 on page 2). Also connect the Shield if on
an ARC156 CMnet.
Be sure to follow the same polarity as
used throughout the rest of the CMnet.
3. Make sure the LGRM-E is configured for
the correct communication speed.
Connecting to the LGnet
Connect a LAN 10base-T cable to the
Ethernet port.
Connecting to a Workstation or Modem
Connect the DC95 or DC99 cable to console
port 1 or 2. See “Communicating with the
Workstation” on page 7 for more details.
NOTE The EIA-232 connection should not
exceed 50 ft (15.24 m) in length without an
Opto Repeater. Refer to the Opto Repeater
Technical Instruction for further information.
Initializing the LGRM-E
Before the LGRM-E can communicate with
the CMnet or the workstation, you must
initialize it with the following information:
• The maxnet value, which is the total
number of modules on the CMnet
(including the LGRM-E) plus one. The
LGRM-E uses maxnet to determine
when to begin the token passing cycle
on the CMnet.
• If the workstation is connected to the
LGRM-E by modem, the workstation

Make sure the FB List on this page shows
all the FBs you intended to transfer.
Troubleshooting
Communicating with the Workstation
The LGRM-E has two console ports that can
connect to a workstation. Console ports can
connect directly to the workstation’s serial
ports or to a modem, through which you can
dial up the workstation. The Access Port must
connect to a workstation through an APT (see
Figure 6 on page 8).
Connecting Using the Console Ports
Use the wiring diagrams in Figure 7 on page 8
to connect Console Ports 1 and 2 to a
workstation or a modem. Use the diagram in
Figure 8 on page 9 to convert Console Port 2
from a 5-pin terminal connection to a 9-pin
EIA-232 port; this allows you to use the wiring
diagrams for Console Port 1.

Connecting Using the Access Port
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-through cable (see Figure 6 on
page 8).
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 Access Port of the APT to the
Access Port of the module.
4. In SuperVision, define the connection type
using Table 2.
The baud rate of the Access Port is
determined by the Baud Select jumper on the
module.
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’s address switches are not set
to ‘0 0’.
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 7.
LEDs
The LGRM-E has several LED indicators to
show the status of certain functions. Table 3
on page 10 explains the Run and Error LED
signals in detail to assist troubleshooting.
Power - indicates power is being supplied to
the module.
Run - blinks when the processor is running.
Error - indicates an error has been detected.
CMnet transmit - indicates that the LGRM-E is
transmitting data over the CMnet.
CMnet receive - indicates that the LGRM-E is
