1. ET-M8194H Features
ET-M8194H is a product of ICP DAS to implement the Ethernet remote
motion controller for the remote motion solution. It includes an i-8094H module
(a 4-axis stepping/pulse-type servo motor control module). By using the
intelligent function of ET-M8194H, we can do the remote motion control for
various motion applications via MODBUS/TCP.
Also, ET-M8194H can be applied in many platforms with MODBUS/TCP
protocol (for example: PC, PAC, PLC, HMI). Additionally, it is easy and simple to
use many ET-M8194Hs at the same time to implement the multi-axis motion
control by the serial connection of ET-M8194H. ICP DAS also provides EzMove
Utility and API Library for users to quickly configure ET-M8194H and develop
their own control applications easily.

2. Hardware Wiring
Power Connection
Connect power supply +Vs (24 VDC) and GND pin to the ET-M8194H +Vs
and IGND pin.
Methods of connecting PC to ET-M8194H
There are two ways to establish a connection between PC and ET-M8194H:
a. LAN:
Connect the ET-M8194H and PC through local area network (LAN) by
Hub/Switch. Install EzMove on the PC and use this utility to test the connection.
b. Direct link:
Connect the PC directly to ET-M8194H. The Ethernet cable does not have to
be a cross-over cable; the controller can detect the connection and do the
suitable configuration automatically.

4. Network Settings
Method 1 – Setting via RS-232
Execute the EzMove Utility and start the “Network Settings by COM Port”
dialog. ([Setting] –> [ET-M8194H Setting] –> [By COM Port] –> [Network])
Click Default to show the default IP configuration of ET-M8194H:
IP: 192.168.0.16
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.254
The procedures to read/modify the IP configuration are:
1. Shut down the ET-M8194H.
2. Connect to ET-M8194H with the associated RS-232 cable (CA-0910). The
Tx, Rx and GND pins of CA-0910 are connected to the Rx, Tx and GND
ports of ET-M8194H. Please connect the other end (9-pin, D-sub
connector) to the normal COM port of desktop/laptop.
