Notes about security

B design, the DAQ Series™ products are ver secure. The do not support terminal or file transfer

programs such as telnet, ftp, ssh, etc. This means that it is not possible for someone to ‘break in’ to this

module and access other devices on our local network. These products do not support remote

firmware updates which means that it is not possible for someone to remotel install malicious software.

The simplicit of this series of products makes them ver secure. As with an device to be installed on a

network, there are some securit precautions that should be observed. If this module is installed on the

Internet, it is recommended that passwords be enabled for the control page. Make sure secure

passwords are used. Passwords should be at least 8 characters in length and should be a combination

of upper case letters, lower case letters, and numbers. Don’t use passwords that would be eas to

guess. For additional securit , a firewall ma be used to limit access onl to selected IP addresses.

Another option ma be to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) between the network where the module

resides and the client machine (web browser, PLC, etc.).

Final installation note

This ControlB Web™ product supports connection to 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks. Although

100Mbps networks are faster, the amount of data transferred to and from this device is ver minimal and

little if an performance increase will be gained b setting it to 100Mbps. There are advantages

however, to operate this device at 10Mbps. At 10Mbps, less power is required, the unit runs cooler, and

the lifetime of the product will be extended.

Section 1: Introduction Five-Input Module™ Users Manual

Section : Introduction

The DAQ Series™ Five Input Module is an industrial grade, Ethernet data acquisition module with five

opticall -isolated, digital inputs. Each input can be used to monitor the state of a digital signal via a web

browser, a custom control application, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), or an automation

controller. The inputs can be used to trigger email alerts based on a single change of state or after a

number of state changes. The inputs can also be used as counters, or can be used to control the rela

contacts of other ControlB Web™ products (such as WebRela ™) that are located at a remote location.

The Five Input Module is ver eas to set up using a web browser. It has a simple “Control Page”, which

displa s the status of the inputs. If counters are enabled, the control page can also displa the current

count and can provide a button which allows users to reset the counter if desired. The control page is

ver simple, but text colors and specific inputs displa ed can be customized in the setup pages.

The Five Input Module provides an XML status page for eas integration with custom monitor and

control applications. For interoperabilit with devices and software produced b other manufacturers,

the Five Input Module incorporates Modbus/TCP functionalit .

Five-Input Module™ Users Manual 1.3 Connectors & Indicators

.3 Connectors & Indicators

The input module has a removable 14-position terminal connector and an Ethernet connector. The 14-

position terminal connector is used to provide power to the module and is used for all input connections.

In addition, a 5 VDC output is provided as a convenient voltage source for the inputs when the are used

with dr contact switches or sensors.

There are eight LED indicators on the input module. Five of the indicators are labeled Input 1 through

Input 5 and indicate that a signal voltage is applied to the corresponding input. The power indicator is

illuminated when the module is powered. Two of the LEDs are located on the Ethernet connector.

These LEDs are labeled labeled LINK and ACT. LINK means that the module is properl connected to

an Ethernet network. Note that no communications can take place with the module if this LED is off.

ACT flashes whenever the module detects network activit . All of the LEDs are green except for ACT

which is ellow.

Five-Input Module™ Users Manual 1.4 Example Configurations and Applications

.4.2 Five Input Module used with other ControlByWeb™ Products

This configuration is used to control devices remotel without a browser, or to extend a digital signal to a

remote location on the network. A control voltage applied to the input module controls the rela contacts

of WebRela -Quad™ (or other ControlB Web™ device) at a remote location. This configuration has

ma uses. It allows switches to be placed ver far awa from the devices that the control and sensors

to sound alarms at distant locations.

For securit applications, the switches in the example could be replaced with sensors, and the device to

be controlled could be a buzzers or chimes. A business owner, for example, could set up sensors at

his/her office and chimes at his/her home. The chimes at the home would announce each time the

sensors detects entr to the office (which ma be miles awa ). When the chime indicates office entr

late at night, the business owner can take appropriate action.

Another wa this configuration is useful is to extend the outputs of a PLC (Programmable Logic

Controller) in a factor to control motors and other devices in another building. The outputs of the PLC

are connected to the inputs of the input module and the motor and other devices to be controlled are

connected to the rela contacts of a WebRela -Quad™ (most likel using external rela s to switch the

loads). This allows an PLC to control devices across an IP network.
