Hardware Installation
Connecting the Power
Connect the 12 to 48 VDC power line to the ioLogik E1200H’s terminal block on the top panel. If power is
properly supplied, the Power LED will glow a solid amber color.
ATTENTION
Disconnect the power cord before installing or wiring your ioLogik
E1200H.
Do not exceed the maximum current for the wiring
Determine the maximum possible current for each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum curre
nt allowable for each wire size. If the current exceeds the maximum rating,
the
wiring could overheat
, causing serious damage to your equipment. For safety reasons,
the wires attached to
the power should be at least 2 mm in
diameter.
Grounding the ioLogik E1200H
The ioLogik E1200H is equipped with a grounding point on the terminal block located on the top panel.
Connect the ground pin ( ) if earth ground is available.
Connecting to the Network
The ioLogik E1200H has two built-in Ethernet switch ports for connecting a standard direct or cross-over
Ethernet cable from RJ45 port to either the host PC or another ioLogik E1200H device. For initial setup of the
ioLogik E1200H, it is recommended that the ioLogik E1200H be configured using a direct connection to a host
computer rather than remotely over the network.
Configure the host PC’s IP address to 192.168.127.xxx (where xxx ranges from 001 to 253). When using
Windows, you will need to do the configuration from the Control Panel.
ioLogik E1200H Default IP Address Default Netmask Default Gateway
192.168.127.254 255.255.255.0 None
Use the web console or ioSearch configuration utility to connect to the ioLogik E1200H. Once the ioLogik
E1200H has been detected, modify the settings as needed for your network environment, and then restart the
server. Refer to Chapters 3 and 4 or further details.

Software Installation
ioSearch is a search utility that helps the user locate ioLogik E1200H devices on the local network. You may
download the latest version of ioSearch from Moxa’s website.
1. Installing ioSearch: Download the ioSearch utility from Moxa’s website, double click the installation file,
and then follow the installation wizard’s instructions to complete the installation. You can also download and
install the MXIO DLL library separately.
2. Open ioSearch: After installation is finished, run ioSearch from Start

3. Search the network for the server: On the menu bar, select System

Auto Scan Active Ethernet
I/O Server. A dialog window will pop up. Click Start Search to begin searching for the ioLogik E1200H.
If multiple ioLogik E1200H units are installed on the same network, remember that each unit has the same
default IP address. You will need to assign a different IP address to each unit to avoid IP conflicts.
Load Factory Defaults
There are three ways to restore the ioLogik E1200H to the factory defaults.
1. Press and hold the RESET button for 5 seconds (under the reset protection cover).
2. Right-click the specified ioLogik in the ioSearch utility and select Reset to Default.
3. Select Load Factory Default from the web console

3. Using the Web Console
The ioLogik E1200H’s main configuration and management utility is the built-in web console, which can be
used to configure a wide range of options.

Introduction to the Web Console
The ioLogik E1200H web console is a browser-based configuration utility. When the ioLogik E1200H is
connected to your network, you may enter the server’s IP address in your web browser to access the web
console.
The left panel is the navigation panel and contains an expandable menu tree for navigating among the various
settings and categories. When you click on a menu item in the navigation panel, the main window will display
the corresponding options for that item. Configuration changes can then be made in the main window. For
example, if you click on Network Settings in the navigation panel, the main window will show a page of
basic settings that you can configure.
You must click on the Submit button after making configuration changes. The Submit button will be located
at the bottom of every page that has configurable settings. If you navigate to another page without clicking
the Submit button, your changes will not be retained.
Submitted changes will not take effect until they are saved and the ioLogik E1200H is restarted!
You may save and restart the server in one step by clicking on the Save/Restart button after you submit a
change. If you need to make several changes before restarting, you may save your changes without
restarting by selecting Save/Restart in the navigation panel. If you restart the ioLogik E1200H without
saving your configuration, the ioLogik E1200H will discard all submitted changes.

Overview
The Overview page contains basic information about the ioLogik E1200H, including the model name, serial
number, firmware version, MAC address, and current IP address. Most importantly, you can see the current
I/O status by hitting the F5 key on the computer keyboard to refresh the page.

Network Settings
General Settings
On the General Settings page, you can assign a server name and location to assist you in differentiating
between different ioLogik E1200H units. You may also configure the Modbus/TCP idle interval or enable the
Communication Watchdog function.
The Communication Watchdog activates Safe Mode after a specified amount of time has passed following a
loss of network connectivity. Safe Mode is designed especially for products that have output channels to
output a suitable value or status when the ioLogik E1200H cannot be controlled by a remote PC (due to
network failure, for example). By default, the Watchdog is disabled. Users can configure how each output
channel responds on the I/O Settings page.
To enable the Watchdog, check Enable connection watchdog, set the timeout value, and then restart the
server. With Watchdog enabled, the ioLogik E1200H will enter Safe Mode after there is a disruption in
communication that exceeds the specified time limit.
For easier location of devices when troubleshooting, enable the remote control of LEDs on the E1200H series
devices by selecting "Enable I/O Locate, " to allow remote toggling of the "Ready" LED from off to flashing.
Ethernet Configuration
On the Ethernet Configuration page, you can set up a static or dynamic IP address for the ioLogik E1200H,
and configure the subnet mask and gateway address.

User-defined Modbus Addressing
The input and output address can be configured in a different format on a specific settings page. Check the
“Enable User-defined Modbus Addressing” box, select the Modbus function, and then configure the start
address of each item.
ATTENTION
Disable the user
-defined modbus addressing function if using the MXIO(.NET) library or using Active OPC
Server to control or monitor the ioLogik
E1200H’s I/O Status.
Default Address
On this settings page, you can view the default Modbus address for all I/O devices. The page only displays the
start address of each item. For example, if the DI Value starts from 10001, then the 1st DI channel’s Modbus
address is 10001 and the 2nd DI is 10002. Please refer to the diagram at the top of the following page.

AOPC Server Settings
Moxa’s Active OPC Server™ is a software package operated as an OPC driver of an HMI or SCADA system. It
seamlessly connects Moxa’s ioLogik products to a wide variety of SCADA systems, including the most popular:
Wonderware, Citect, and iFix. Active OPC Server™ conforms to the OPC Foundation’s latest data access
standard, DA 3.0, and will connect with other standards-compliant devices and host OPC machines.
Active OPC Server can be downloaded from the Moxa Website, and may be found from Moxa’s online support
page, www.moxa.com/support/.
After downloading the AOPC software, unzip it and run Install.exe. The installation program will guide you
through the installation process and install the Active OPC Server Utility.
For more details on AOPC installation and use, please refer to the Active OPC User’s Manual.
Tag Generation
Tag configuration of an ioLogik E1200H is specified by its web console. Open the browser and go to the Active
OPC Server Settings page.
Follow these steps to create the tag from the ioLogik E1200H to Active OPC Server:
In the AOPC & I/O Settings page,
Check the “Enable Active OPC” box and specify the IP address where the Active OPC Server is installed.
Select the I/O channels that need to be created in the Active OPC Server.
Configure the Heartbeat Interval, if necessary.

Click the “Submit” button and click the Save/Restart button on the next page.
On the Create AOPC Tag page, click on the Create Tags button to push the tag configuration to Active OPC
Server.
Launch the Active OPC Server program; tags will be automatically created.
Save the configuration of the Active OPC Server when exiting the program.
