3 RS 485 CONNECTION
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 beware 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.
•Beware to the wire polarities when screwing them into the
instrument terminals.
•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:
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).

3.1 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.
3.2 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.

4 Local connection with monitor, mouse
and keyboard
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
later.
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.

It is possible to connect to the unit via 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.
IMPORTANT: the cable between the Server and the PC must be
with crossing wires (“Bridge Cable”).
The connection procedure from the remote PC is describe in deep
in this guide. You may need some changes to your PC network
card, then you will be able to connect to XWEB 3000 via Ethernet
line. Once you have finished setting up your network card,
connection to XWEB 3000 is established simply by launching the
Browser and inserting the default IP number of the unit
http://192.168.0.200 into the address bar.
Before going on reading, please take some moments to write down
your PC network setup, may be we are going to change it. If the IP
address of your PC belong to the hierarchy 192.168.0.XYZ (where
XYZ represent a number between 1 and 254), you can reach XWEB
3000 simply plugging in the network cable.
