ractices that can effect the instrument’s functionality and must refer
to accom anying documents.
TIP: Provides you hel ful hints.
Before You Begin
Inspecting Your Shipment:
Remove the acking sli and verify that you have received everything listed. Ins ect the
container and equi ment for signs of damage as soon as you receive the shi ment. Note
any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately re ort any damage to the shi ing
agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims unless all shi ing material is saved for
ins ection. After examining and removing the contents, save the acking material and
carton in the event reshi ment is necessary.

PART 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Safety and EMC Considerations
This device is marked with the international caution symbol. It is im ortant to
read this manual before installing or commissioning this device as it contains
im ortant information relating to Safety and EMC (Electromagnetic
Com atibility).
This instrument is a anel mount device rotected in accordance with EN 61010-
1:2001, electrical safety requirements for electrical equi ment for measurement,
control and laboratory. Installation of this instrument should be done by qualified
ersonnel. In order to ensure safe o eration, the following instructions should be
followed.
This instrument has no ower-on switch. An external switch or circuit-breaker
shall be included in the building installation as a disconnecting device. It shall be
marked to indicate this function, and it shall be in close roximity to the
equi ment within easy reach of the o erator. The switch or circuit-breaker shall
meet the relevant requirements of IEC 947–1 and IEC 947-3 (International
Electrotechnical Commission). The switch shall not be incor orated in the main
su ly cord.
Furthermore, to rovide rotection against excessive energy being drawn from
the main su ly in case of a fault in the equi ment, an overcurrent rotection
device shall be installed.
• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the to of the
instrument housing.
• Always disconnect ower before changing signal and ower connections.
• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety
reasons.
• Do not o erate this instrument in flammable or ex losive atmos heres.
• Do not ex ose this instrument to rain or moisture.
• Unit mounting should allow for adequate ventilation to ensure instrument
does not exceed o erating tem erature rating.
• Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain and
ower requirements. Install without ex osing bare wire outside the connector
to minimize electrical shock hazards.
EMC Considerations
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and ower wires in the same conduit.
• Use signal wire connections with twisted- air cables.
• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC
roblems ersist.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!

1.2 Description
This iServer board can be purchased as a stand alone unit, or as an option
for an iSeries monitor/controller (Embedded Ethernet iServer) with a
RS485 communication port interface. Some iSeries monitors/controllers
do not utilize RS485 communications. In such models, the RS485
instructions do not apply.
The Embedded Ethernet Server is designed to connect industrial devices with serial
interfaces to the Ethernet network using the TCP/IP rotocol. It contains an Ethernet
Server and RS-485/422 interfaces.
The standard features include:
• Use standard Web Browser, TCP connection, HTTPGET DOS rogram or Telnet
Simulation for network connectivity.
• Install via RS-485/422 serial ort connection.
• Transfer data from RS-485/422 serial interface to TCP/IP using built-in socket server.
• Use a standard home age or customize web age using s ecial a lets, which are
available on our Web site.
The following exam le illustrates how you can hooku the devices with serial interface
on the net using the Ethernet Server:

2.4 Serial Communication Interfaces (For Models with RS485 Port)
The iSeries controller/monitor with the Embedded Ethernet Server o tion board su ort
only RS485/422 interfaces. These standards define the electrical characteristics of a
communication network. The RS485 ort of the Ethernet Server is fully com atible for
use with RS422 instruments. The RS485 is an extended version of the RS422
communication standard which increases the allowable number of devices from 10 to
32 by im roving the electrical characteristics.
• The RS485 standard (multi point) allows one or more devices (multi-dro ed) to be
connected to the Ethernet Server using a two-wire connection (half-du lex) +Rx/+Tx
and –Rx/-Tx. Use of RS485 communications allows u to 32 devices to connect to the
Web Server with cable length u to 4000 feet long.
Although the RS485 is commonly referred to as a "two wire" connection, the
Web Server also rovides a ground/return shield connection to use as a
common connection for EMI noise rotection.
Table 2.2 shows some characteristics of the RS485 communication interface.
