XWEB 3000 is a Controlling, Monitoring and Supervising system based on “WEB server” technology. It
is capable to communicate data to one or many external Clients with the same kind of procedure used
by the Internet Web Sites. Clients need only a standard Browser such as Microsoft Exploreror
Netscape.
The XWEB 3000 server is mounted inside a 19” rack. On the back side, it is provided with the terminal
connections for external devices (modem, printer etc.).
The Web Pages with all the information are contained into the server itself; Linux operative system
ensures maximum efficiency and security.
The server reads, logs and checks the data coming from the Dixell instruments connected to a RS485
line. The communication protocol is the Modbus-Rtu. The XWEB 3000 is capable of recognising also
most of the Modbus-Rtu compatible instruments not manufactured by Dixell.
ATTENTION: Always check the proper RS485 connections (see 2.1.1Check the rs485 before starting)
ATTENTION: Dixell s.r.l. reserves itself the right to analyse the Modbus-RTU compatibility of other
manufacturer’s devices before ensuring their integration into XWEB 3000 system.
Clients to Server connection possibility:
•Local: directly on the XWEB 3000 hardware, plugging in Monitor, Mouse and the Keyboard.
•Modem: point to point through local and remote modem devices (“Creating a Remote Access
under Windows”);
•Intranet / Internet: where available a static IP, using the standard socket 10 Base-T with RJ45
connector.
•Bridge network cable: You can plug a bridge network cable into RJ45 socket of XWEB 3000 and
on the other side into your PC network adapter. Ask your network administrator to properly setup
your PC to be able to access XWEB 3000 web pages.
The User interface is defined by the Browser program and it is the same for all kind of connections.
The PC-client needs only a standard Browser, there is no need to install any kind of software
Some of the pages created by the web server are dynamics and needs the Java Virtual Machine
program that is normally installed in the latest Browsers and operative systems.
Check the different connection under “§2.1.5 Local connectivity” and “§2.1.6 remote connection from
client PC”.
Features and functions included into the XWEB 3000 management:
•Data monitoring and recording, alarm detection and recording of the instrument connected.
•Alarm management defined by the User with visible signals, and remote transmission via Fax or
E-mail.
•Interactive commands to work with the connected instruments.
•“Run Time” function to show in real time all the information coming from the instruments.
•Parameter table programming.
•Graphic or table viewing and printing of the recorded data.
•Other service functions.

2.1 HARDWARE
ATTENTION: to protect both yourself and the computer from electrical hazards the XWEB 3000
should remain turned off until you are finished connecting all electrical devices to the unit.
To avoid accidental start of the unit, remember to plug in electrical cable only when you have
finished setting up all other connection.
2.1.1 CHECK THE RS485 BEFORE STARTING
To be connected to the serial line all the Dixell Modbus instruments must be provided with direct
RS485 terminals or the “TTL”-RS485 interface (XJRS485 or XJ485). Check the instrument manuals
for more information.
The RS485 line is mainly based on two polarised terminals. Please pay attention to respect the right
sequence for all the devices connected to the serial line.
Follow these important advises:
•The RS485 serial line must reach all the instruments where they are installed.
•Pay attention and respect the wire polarities when screwing them into the instrument terminals.
2.1.2 EACH INSTRUMENT IS PROVIDED WITH THE ADDRESS PARAMETER
ADR
•The cable must have 2 or 3 wires with shield, minimum section 0,5mm2(eg. the BELDEN 8772).
•From the XWEB 3000 position the cable reaches all the instrument positions.
•Do not execute loops or derivations:
Right connection

XWEB 3000 – rel.1.0 –
12
Wrong connection
•Always keep the serial cable away from power cables.
•Always keep the serial cable away from electro-magnetic or frequency sources.
•Do not connect shield to ground.
•Do not connect the “Gnd” terminal.
•Remember to draw a map of the line. This will help you to find errors if something is wrong.
•The instrument with RS485 have “+” and “-“ terminals, respect the polarity.
•To keep the line balanced it is necessary a 100 Ohm resistor at the end of the line (you ca use the
RS 485+ and RS 485- terminals of the last instrument connected).
2.1.2.1 THE TTL OUTPUT
•The instrument with RS485 on board do not need any kind of external interface module.
•For instruments with external interface: keep the TTL cable away from power cables or frequency
sources.
•The XJ485 external interface must be connected with TTL cable to the instrument with TTL
compatibility.
2.1.3 SERIAL ADDRESS OF THE INSTRUMENTS
•Each instrument must be defined by its unique address.
•Check the address into the Adr parameter value. Take reference to the instruction manual of the
instrument itself to find the right procedure to enter the programming and set the value.
•The easiest way to work with the category functions is to set the addresses progressively for
similar groups of instruments which have the same application.
2.1.4 COMPATIBLE INSTRUMENTS
Instrument family Type of serial port Protocol
XR100/500 with RS485 RS 485 ModBUS-RTU

2.1.5 LOCAL CONNECTIVITY
2.1.5.1 LOCAL CONNECTION WITH MONITOR, MOUSE AND KEYBOARDRD
On the back side, the XWEB 3000 is provided with the sockets for a monitor, a mouse and a
keyboard. Please connect all the peripherals before powering-on the unit otherwise the system may
fails to recognise them. This means that , for example, if you do not plug the monitor cable now, you
won’t see anything displayed on it.
The unit can also work without these three elements therefore if the user intend to work just with the
remote, he can definitively remove them after the setup operations.
In any case inside XWEB 3000 is loaded a standard browser to allow the user setting up the unit.
If necessary check the instructions manual of each device connected to the unit.
The operative procedure to work with XWEB 3000 is the same for all connection method.
2.1.5.2 LOCAL CONNECTION THROUGH PERSONAL COMPUTER
It is allowed the local connection with a single PC, provided with LAN card, by using the net connector
RJ 45 (LAN). Due to the PC-client power, this kind of connection is more suitable for the setup
procedures.
Remember that the PC must be provided with internal LAN card or external adapter for LAN.
IMPORTANT: the cable between the Server and the PC must be with crossing wires (“Bridge Cable”).
The connection procedure from the remote PC is made simply by launching the Browser program and
inserting the default address of the XWEB 3000 unit http://192.168.0.200 into the address bar.
2.1.6 REMOTE CONNECTION FROM CLIENT PC
2.1.6.1 MODEM CONNECTION (“OR POINT TO POINT CONNECTION”)
It represents the most common method where the LAN (intranet / Ethernet / internet) is not available.
It is strongly advised to use a dedicated telephone line.
IMPORTANT: Use exclusively modem devices approved by Dixell.
Remember that many modems are not compatible with Linux.
The list of compatible models can be found under the menu: Configuration – System - Modem.
USB Modem (recommended).

XWEB 3000 – rel.1.0 –
14
Connect the USB Modem to the USB Port on the back side using the modem cable commonly
included into the modem packaging itself.
There is no need to give power supply to the modem because the Server provides it through the USB
port.
The modem reset is directly controlled by the XWEB 3000 Server through the USB port by turning off
and then on the modem device.
Connect the modem to the telephone line with the phone cable included into the modem packaging.
Remember to check if there is a switching machine.
The connection procedure is divided in two parts:
In the first part it is necessary to create the Remote Access, in your remote PC, set with the telephone
number of the line where the XWEB 3000 is connected to. You have to use Dixell as Username and
Password.
The second is the procedure you will ever use: after launching the new Remote Access that will
engage the line through the modem, start the Browser from your PC and insert the address
http://192.168.1.200 into Explorer/Netscape address bar.
