i.LON SmartServer Hardware Guide 5
Wiring the SmartServer Connections
After you mount the SmartServer, you can wire its connections. The SmartServer has two rows of
screw terminals, an RJ-45 10/100 Base T Ethernet port, a DB-9 console port, and an RJ-11 telephone
line (SmartServer models 72102).
You must connect the power screw terminals for all SmartServer models as described in the Power
Supply section. If you are assembling an FT-10 model of the SmartServer, you must connect a
LONWORKS TP/FT-10 channel to the LON A®and LON B®screw terminals (18 and 17). Optionally,
you can connect the other screw terminals on the SmartServer (the RS-232/RS-485 serial ports, digital
outputs, pulse meter inputs, digital inputs, and the +12V <20mA output).
After you connect the screw terminals, you should use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port
on the SmartServer to a TCP/IP network. This enables you to configure the SmartServer using its
built-in Web pages and begin using its embedded applications. Optionally, you can connect the
console port on the SmartServer so that you can use the SmartServer console application to configure
the SmartServer. However, you should configure the SmartServer with the Web pages whenever
possible.
If you are assembling the model 72102 of the SmartServer and you need a dial-out connection to
connect the SmartServer to a TCP/IP network, you should wire the RJ-11 telephone port on the
SmartServer.
The following figure illustrates the location of all the SmartServer connections.

6 Assembling the SmartServer Hardware
Connecting the Screw Terminals
The SmartServer has two rows of screw terminals located on the top and bottom edges of the
enclosure. The screw terminals on the bottom row are numbered 1 to 12 (from left to right), and the
screw terminals on the top row are numbered 13 to 28 (from right to left). No that there is no polarity
for DC connections.
The screw terminals accept 0.22mm – 3.3mm (22 – 12AWG) gauge solid wire. The optimum
tightening torque for the screw terminals is 0.75 Newton-meters (6 lbs. in.) maximum. The ideal
flathead screwdriver tip width for use with the screw terminal connectors is 3mm (0.12”). Wires
should be stripped to a length of 7mm (0.28”). Optionally, you can use a soldering iron to tin the
stripped lengths of any stranded wires to prevent fraying and inadvertent contact with adjacent
terminals.
The screw terminals are divided into the following groups, which are each detailed in the subsequent
sections.
•Power supply
•LONWORKS network
•RS-232/RS-485 serial ports
•Digital outputs
•Pulse meter inputs
•Digital inputs
•+12V<20mA output
Power Supply
The SmartServer is powered by a 100/240V AC, -10% to +30%, 50/60Hz VAC power mains
connection.
!
Safety Warning

Avvertenza sulla Sicurezza e sull'Alta Tensione
Assicurarsi che la rete elettrica sia SPENTA prima di rimuovere il coperchio, maneggiare
i cavi di alimentazione, o connettere qualsiasi cavo al SmartServer.
NON connettere mai per nessun motivo il SmartServer a tensioni al di fuori del range
100/240VAC, da -10% a +30%, 50/60Hz +-2.5Hz.
LONWORKS Network
The FT-10 models of the SmartServer contain one set of screw terminals (17-18) that you can use to
connect the SmartServer to a TP/FT-10 LONWORKS channel. The TP/FT-10 interface is
polarity-insensitive and requires connecting the twisted pair to terminals 17-18.
You can also use screw terminals 17–18 on the PL-20 model of the SmartServer with the external
coupling circuit (Model 72103R-420) to connect the SmartServer a single-phase or three-phase
external coupler. This enables you to operate the SmartServer on single-phase and three-phase PL-20
LONWORKS networks. In this case, the twisted pair interface is polarity-sensitive; therefore, you
should connect terminal 18 on the SmartServer (PLT+) to the positive terminal of the external coupler
and terminal 17 on the SmartServer (PLT-) to the ground terminal (low side) of the external coupler.
The length of the twisted pair connected to the 72103R-420 model of the SmartServer should not
exceed 1m in order to provide flexibility in mounting the device in an enclosure. In addition, the
72103R-420 model of the SmartServer should be installed at least 30cm away from electrically noisy
devices.
The following figure illustrates the location of the LONWORKS network screw terminals on the
SmartServer.

18 LON®A/PLT - TP/FT-10 twisted pair
RS-232/RS-485 Serial Ports
The SmartServer includes one RS-232 serial port and one isolated RS-485 multi-drop bus port. The
RS-232 serial connection is implemented on screw terminals 21–25. These connections are
polarity-sensitive. You can connect an external GSM modem, M-Bus devices, Modbus devices, or
other type of device to the RS-232 serial port. Note that the RS-232 serial port supports only one of
the aforementioned items at a time.
The RS-485 bus connection is implemented on screw terminals 25–28. These connections are
polarity-sensitive: terminal 28 is marked positive (RT+), and terminal 27 is marked negative (RT-).
Do not reverse the polarity of the RS-485 port will because it will cause improper bus operation. The
RS-485 port picks up ground at terminal 25. The RS-485 connection is not susceptible to common
mode ground differential voltage swings, but you should use a suitable shielded cable when connecting
devices in noisy environments. You can connect Modbus devices or other types of devices to the RS-
485 port. Note that the RS-485 port supports only one of the aforementioned items at a time.
The following figure illustrates the location of the RS-232 and RS-485 screw terminals on the
SmartServer.
