xLogic SuperRelay Ethernet module (ELC12-E-Ethernet ,apply to ELC-12 CPUs)
Brief introduction
ELC12-E-Ethernet
It is called Ethernet module, used to connect ELC-12 series main modules in different places to enormous Ethernet to
buildup a huge monitoring and control system .The ELC12-E-Ethernet module can be divided into ELC12-E-Ethernet-AC
type and ELC12-E-Ethernet-DC type
Ethernet network
If the application requires a system where more than one main module is needed and these main modules have to
communicate, each main module will be connected over an Ethernet Module box to the Ethernet. The project down- and
upload to and from the main modules and the communication between the main modules happens over the Ethernet
network. Furthermore the visualization of the whole system is possible and easy to realize by a personal computer.

How to connect hardware before Ethernet module running ?
1. Set ELC12-E-Ethernet module IP address.(refer to software first part)
2. Link the ELC12-E-Ethernet to the xLogic SuperRelay system (which must contain a ELC-12 CPU module)
3. Link the ELC12-E-Ethernet to internet by net wire, then use PC or other monitor device for monitoring or download &
upload of users’ program purpose.
4. Power on all devices in accordance with their voltage class.
5. Set communication parameter by xLogicsoft.( as configure shows in page 10 )

Note：If there are extension modules in the application , the plus sequence of ethernet module must be the last one ,as
above figure showing.

Software part:
Device IP factory setting
The default IP adress of Ethernet module is：192.168.0.178
Network segment check of PC and Ethernet module’s
Users need ensure that PC has Ethernet cards,and that the network settings of PC and Ethernet module’s must keep in the
same network segment before establishing communication between PC and Ethernet module.
The Ethernet module has a factory setting IP（192.168.0.178）and network mask（255.255.255.0）. Users can process
as shown in Figure 4.3 to check whether the Ethernet module and PC in the same network segment. If in the same
network segment, then congratulations to you, and you do not have to read the following network setting contents. If it
is different, then the following settings is very important to you.
Figure 4.3
Above contents is used to tell you how to make the user’s PC with ELC12-E-Ethernet module in the same network
segment.
First part: set or modify IP address, port number with “ZnetCom2” software.
How to configure Ethernet module(ELC12-E-ETHERNET) IP address?
Start Ethernet module IP address configuration software.
Step one: Double click the file “ELC12-E-Ethernet module driver” in CD and then the following contents will pop out:

Step two: Select “ZnetCom2.exe” file, and start it with double-click the left key of your mouse.
In order to enable your Ethernet module to link to Ethernet, you are required to connect your Ethernet module
(ELC12-E-Ethernet-DC/AC) to your computer by net router. You are allowed to connect the Ethernet module to Ethernet
directly by common net cable. Hereunder let’s take computer as an example:

You are required to set as following way, otherwise the Ethernet module may fail to work , please take some time to study
the below instruction carefully :
Power on ELC12-E-Ethernet-AC/DC module and click to search Ethernet. At the same time the searching
Windows will pop out as the follow figure . In the search window, we can see the search module, and the corresponding
MAC address and IP Address. Search window will close automatically after 10 seconds, the user can also click “stop”
button to close it.

Double-click the device in the list of equipment; or select equipment items, click the toolbar
button or button in attributes Bar, as shown in the following Figure
"Getting device information" dialog box.
Then the information of Ethernet module would show as follow.
Double click to get

Note: All the contents in the red frame region cannot be adjusted. That’s to say, you must select the items as follows in
red circle.

Note: Baudrate can be set “4800” ,”9600”,”19200” and the corresponding communication port must be set the same
baudrate ,just the COM3 in the ELC-12 CPU.
The target port and target IP can be set up to 4 groups.
Note: Just as above figure shows, parameters in “Target IP1,Target IP2, Target IP3, Target IP4” must be adjusted to be
exactly same as those in your PCs which will use to communicate with ELC12-E-Ethernet module. However “Target Port”
number in above configure shows can be adjusted as you like and in xLogicsoft those may be used.
Confirm the changed information by clicking button.
Note: Password protection is available if user wish to do.

Save your settings
The settings about ELC12-E-Ethernet can be saved in XML format by clicking button.
Import exited settings
Existing configuration of ELC12-E-Ethernet can be imported called by clicking button.
Second part: Communication and monitor with xLogicSoft.
1.Link ELC12-E-Ethernet to ELC-12 CPU module
2. Here are two options to open “COM PORT”:
A. click symbol B. select menu Tools->Configuration
Option 1: ELC12-E-Ethernet unit work under TCP client mode, xLogicsoft software
as server .
3.Select “Ethernet” option
