8-Way Smart IO Board Network
6
The NEMTEK 8 way Smart IO Board can be used for one to one communication to a Druid 2x energizer
or 8 way Relay Board. This is useful where the energizer needs remote communication to a third party
device like an alarm panel. The board provides 8 inputs and 8 relay outputs that can be independently
linked to different inputs and outputs of the energizer (or 8 way Relay Board), by using the software
application. The figure below shows the possible connections. Although the boards and energizers are
connected on an ethernet network in the third diagram, every Smart IO Board can only communicate to
one energizer. In this network setup, the FG7 can only communicate with the energizers and not with the
8 way Relay board. The ethernet link between the two network switches can be replaced with an optic
fibre link if longer distances are required. The NEMTEK Power Pack may be used to provide a 12 V supply
with battery backup to the FG7 and 8 way Smart IO Board.

3. Connect the Ethernet Module directly to your computer using a suitable ethernet cable.
4. Power up the NEMTEK board and ensure the green POWER LED is lit (For the NemLink board,
power the board via either the J1 or J2 connector).
5. Run the USR M0 setup software on your computer.
6. Click on the “Search Device” button.
7. A device should appear in the dialog box above the “Search Device” button. If no device appears
check that the jumper is correctly installed, the ethernet cable is connected and that the board is
powered.
8. Click on the device to display the device parameters.
9. If the module is still configured as factory default, the following parameters should be displayed:
To create a network apart from the physical connections the following steps are required:
1. Programming IP addresses for the Smart IO cards, Nemlinks and 8 Way Relay boards.
2. Configure addresses, jumpers and programming of Smart IO cards, Nemlinks, 8 Way Relay
boards, FG7 and Energizers.
PROGRAMMING IP ADDRESSES
The NEMTEK Ethernet Module provides network connectivity to various NEMTEK products. To set up
the module successfully, follow these steps:
1. Download and save the USR M0 setup software from http://www.NEMTEK druid
fenceprobe.com/downloads/USR M0 V2.1.2.118.exe
2. Install the jumper as per the relevant NEMTEK product shown in the figures below.

10. If your NEMTEK network products are installed on a local, private network and the Nemlink is
going to be installed on a Druid2x energizer or for the 8 way relay board, ONLY the
“ModuleStaticIP” need changing, as explained in point 13.
11. For the Nemlink used with an FG7 or for the Nemtek Smart IO card, the base parameters below
can be used and the “ModuleStaticIP” and the “RemoteIP” need changing.

Programming IP Addresses
9
12. Large, public networks, including routing and remote access via an internet connection, are not
covered by this guide. Please consult your network administrator.
13. Enter a new “ModuleStaticIP” adhering to the following criteria:
a. Every NEMTEK network device needs to have a unique “ModuleStaticIP” address. Devices
cannot share the same address.
b. It is recommended that “ModuleStaticIP” are chosen from the range 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.0.254.
c. Ensure that all “ModuleStaticIP” addresses are in the same IP range. This means that for
the range mentioned in (b.), the first 3 numbers (e.g. 192.168.0) of the “ModuleStaticIP”
address must be exactly the same for all network devices and the last number may range
from 1 to 254. An example of valid “ModuleStaticIP” addresses on the same network will
be:
i. NEMTEK NemLink (connected to NEMTEK FG7): 192.168.0.150
ii. NEMTEK NemLink (connected to Energizer): 192.168.0.100
iii. NEMTEK 8 way Relay Board: 192.168.0.55
iv. Nemtek Smart IO card: 192.168.0.200
14. Enter a new “RemoteIP” adhering to the following criteria:
a. The NemLink board connected to the FG7, must have a “Remote IP” address of
192.168.0.255. in which the first three numbers must be exactly the same as the first
three numbers of the IP address of the energizers and the last number must be 255
b. The Nemtek Smart IO card only communicates with one energizer so its “RemoteIP”
must be identical to the “ModuleStaticIP” of the energizer it communicates with.
c. With reference to the “ModuleStaticIP” addresses in the examples above the following is
an example of valid “RemoteIP” addresses on the same network:
i. NEMTEK NemLink (connected to NEMTEK FG7): 192.168.0.255
ii. NEMTEK NemLink (connected to Energizer): not required
iii. NEMTEK 8 way Relay Board: not required
iv. NEMTEK Smart IO card: 192.168.0.100
15. Click on “Save Config” to change the parameters on the module. “ACK” will appear three times in
the lower left dialog box if the changes were successful.

16. To check that the settings were saved successfully, click on the “Search Device” button again.
The changed network device IP address should appear in the dialog box above the “Search
Device” button. Click on this device and ensure that all parameters were changed correctly.
17. Remove the jumper as mentioned in step 2 for the NemLink boards. Install the jumper on the 2
lower pins for the 8 way Relay board.
18. The network device is now ready for installation.

Configuration of the components
11
To configure the Smart IO Board, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the power connector. [1]
2. Configure the address of the board to match the address of the corresponding energizer or 8 way
Relay Board that needs to be controlled, by chronologically using jumpers JP7. When all jumpers
are populated, the address is 1. When a jumper is removed, the corresponding number will be
added to the network address. For example, if jumpers 1, 4 and 8 are removed, the address will
be 1 + 1 + 4 + 8 = 14. [2]
3. Populate jumper JP7 A to put the board in programming mode. [3]
4. Jumper JP7 C is only used when the board is connected to a Druid energizer. When the jumper is
populated, the Smart IO board will force the state of its inputs onto the energizer and no changes
will be possible on the energizer itself. When the jumper is not populated changes are possible on
the energizer and the Smart IO board will only change the energizer state, once a change on the
Smart IO board inputs happen. [3]
5. Jumpers JP7 B and D can either be populated, or not. [3]
6. Connect the Smart IO board to a computer, using and ethernet cable. [4]

7. Download and save the NEMTEK SIO8Cfg setup software from: http://nemtek druid
fenceprobe.com/downloads/NemtekSmartIOCardConfigurationSoftware.exe
8. Power up the board (The NEMTEK Power Pack can be used to power the board).
9. Open the NEMTEK SIO8Cfg.exe application on the computer
10.Select the device (Druid 2x, TW Node or 8 way Relay Board) to which the Smart IO board will be
connected to by clicking on one of the three top tabs.
11.Enter the same IP address (Static IP) of the Smart IO board that was configured in step one, in the
IP address field, in the top right corner.
12.Ensure 20108 is entered in the Port field, in the top right corner.
13.If the Smart IO board will be connected to an energizer, map the energizer status and alarms to the
Smart IO relay outputs, by ticking appropriate boxes. The Smart IO Board Inputs are preconfigured
to activate certain functions on the energizer and can’t be changed. Input 1 is zone 1 On/Off, input
2 is zone 2 On/Off, input 3 is zone 1 Hi/Low voltage and input 4 is zone 2 Hi/Low voltage.
14.If the Smart IO board will be connected to an 8 way Relay Board, map the 8 way Relay Board inputs
to the Smart IO relay outputs, by ticking the appropriate boxes. The Smart IO board inputs are
configured one to one to the 8 way Relay Board’s outputs and can’t be changed. So input 1 of the
Smart IO board controls relay 1 of the 8 way Relay Board and input 2 controls relay 2 of the 8 way
Relay Board etc.
15.Click Send in the lower left corner. The VALID COMMAND LED will momentarily flash on the Smart
IO Board, indicating the board was programmed. [5]

6. Ensure the energizer is restored to factory default:
a. Reconnect the battery power. [2]
b. Reconnect the mains power. [1]
c. Within 60 seconds of reconnecting the power, enter 2389# on the keypad.
7. Enter installer mode by entering 012345*0# on the keypad. Ensure the energizer LCD display
turns purple. [6]
8. Configure the network address by entering 51xx*#, where xx is the address from 1 to 32.
Energizer addresses must be chronologically configured starting at 1. For example, three
energizers on a network with addresses 5, 18 and 22 is not allowed, as they need to be addressed
1, 2 and 3. Relay boards and energizers are addressed separately from 1 to 32. This address needs
to match the address of the 8 way Smart IO Board assigned to the energizer.
9. Exit installer mode by entering *#. Ensure the energizer LCD display turns blue. [6]
10. Ensure the energizer network address is displayed on the LCD. [6]
11. Connect the energizer to a port on the ethernet switch (the port number does not matter) with an
ethernet cable. [7]
12. Route the ethernet cable out the bottom of the energizer enclosure and install the lid.

Configuration of the components
1. Disconnect the power connector. [1]
2. Configure the address of the relay board by chronologically using jumpers JP7 1 to 16. When all
jumpers are populated, the address is 1. When a jumper is removed, the corresponding number
will be added to the network address. For example, if jumpers 1, 4 and 8 are removed, the
address will be 1 + 1 + 4 + 8 = 14. The first relay board in the network MUST be configured as
address 1, the second as address 2 etc. Addressing, for example, 3 boards in the network with
addresses 3, 6 and 20 is not allowed, as their addresses must be 1, 2 and 3. This address also
needs to match the address of the 8 way Smart IO Board assigned to the energizer. Relay boards
and energizers are addressed separately from 1 to 32. On the FG7 module, an address offset of 32
is added to all relay boards. Therefore, relay board 1 will be referred to as 33 (1+32), relay board
2 as 34 (2+32) etc. on the FG7. [2]
3. Ensure jumpers JP5 B and C are populated. Jumpers JP5 A and D can either be populated or not.
[3]
4. Connect the relay board to a port on the ethernet switch (the port number does not matter) with
an ethernet cable. [4]
5. Power up the relay board (The NEMTEK Power Pack can be used to power the relay board).
