2 Installation
2.1 Safety regulations and installation notes
Installation, operation, and maintenance may be carried out only by qualified electricians.
Follow the specified installation instructions. The applicable specifications and safety
directives (including the national safety directives), as well as the general technical
regulations, must be observed during installation and operation. The technical data should
be taken from the packaging instructions and the certificates (conformity assessment, other
possible approvals).
Opening the device or making changes to it is not permitted. Do not repair the device
yourself, but replace it with an equivalent device. Repairs may be carried out only by the
manufacturer. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by violation of the
prescribed regulations.
The IP20 degree of protection (EN 60529) of the device is intended for a clean and dry
environment.
Do not subject the device to any load that exceeds the prescribed limits.
The device is not designed for use in environments with danger of dust explosions.
2.2 Mounting
To mount on the DIN rail:
1. Place the device onto the DIN rail from above (A), so that the upper housing keyway
hooks onto the top edge of the DIN rail.
2. Hold the device by the housing cover and carefully push the device toward the
mounting surface (B).
3. After the foot is snapped onto the DIN rail, verify that it is attached securely.

2.3 Data interfaces
2.3.1 Connecting the V.24 (RS-232) cable
The D-SUB 9 connector may function as an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 interface. The
RS-232 interface is a data terminal equipment (DTE) device that behaves like a personal
computer (PC). A null modem cable or adapter is required to connect to a PC.
Connect the GW PN/ASCII... to the V.24 (RS-232) device to be connected (for example, a
PC) by way of the PSM-KA-9SUB 9/BB/2 METER V.24 (RS-232) cable (Order No.
2799474). The cable is an interface cable with 1:1 connected contacts.
The V.24 (RS-232) interface of the GW PN/ASCII... is a DTE assignment.

2.3.2 Connecting the RS-422 cable
Figure 2-3 Pin 1 location
In RS-422 mode, a point-to-point connection can be established. Use a twisted-pair,
common shielded bus cable to connect the I/O device.
To connect the RS-422 cable:
1. Connect the individual conductors of the data cable to the GW PN/ASCII... using a
SUBCON 9/F SH (Order No. 2761499).
2. Make sure the signal assignment is correct.
This operating mode supports full duplex transmission mode.
2.3.3 Connecting the RS-485 cable
In RS-485 mode, an RS-485 network with several I/O devices can be created. Use a
twisted-pair, common shielded bus cable to connect the I/O devices.
Connect the individual conductors of the data cable to the GW PN/ASCII... using a
SUBCON 9/F SH (Order No. 2761499) (see Table 2-2).

NOTE:
Observe the polarity of the RS-485 cable.
Fit this bus cable with a termination network at the two furthest points of the RS-485
network.
The termination resistors are integrated in the GW PN/ASCII... and can be switched on
through the web-based management interface.

3886_en_A PHOENIX CONTACT 13
2.3.4 Connecting the Ethernet cable
The GW PN/ASCII... has an Ethernet interface on the front in RJ45 format, to which only
twisted-pair cables with an impedance of 100 Ωcan be connected. The data transmission
rate is either 10 or 100 Mbps. The GW PN/ASCII... supports the auto negotiation function
for automatic selection of the transmission speed, as well as an automatic crossover feature
for the selection of line or crossover cabling.
Push the Ethernet cable with the crimped RJ45 connector into the GW PN/ASCII... until it
engages with a click.
2.3.4.1 Models with two Ethernet ports
When using two Ethernet ports, the GW PN/ASCII... is classified as a switch. When using
only one port, it is a simple end node device. The maximum number of daisy-chained
GW PN/ASCII... units, and the maximum distance between units, is based on the Ethernet
standards, and is determined by the environment and conformity of the network to these
standards. There may be some performance degradation on the devices at the end of the
chain, so it is recommended to overload and test for performance in the environment. The
application may also limit the total number of ports that may be installed. Some basic
guidelines are listed below.
–Ethernet10BASE-Trules
– The maximum number of repeater segments is four.
– Use Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair 10BASE-T cables. The maximum length of each
cable is 100 m (328 ft.).
– Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX rules
– The maximum number of repeater segments is two (for a Class II hub). A Class II
hub can be connected directly to one other Class II Fast Ethernet hub. A Class I hub
cannot be connected directly to another Fast Ethernet hub.
– Category 5 twisted-pair cable must be used. The maximum length of each twisted-
pair cable is 100 m (328 ft.).
– The total length of twisted-pair cabling (across directly connected hubs) must not
exceed 205 m (672 ft.).
– IEEE 802.3 specification: A network using repeaters between communicating stations
(PCs) is subject to the 5-4-3 rule of repeater placement on the network:
– The maximum number of segments connected on a network is five.
– Four repeaters is the maximum that can be applied to a network.
– Only three segments can have user connections. The other two segments must act
as repeaters with no user connections.

2.4 Connecting the power supply
The device can be connected to a single power source or two power sources for
redundancy. The GW PN/ASCII... is powered using a +24 V DC SELV power supply. The
power supply is connected by way of COMBICON plug-in screw terminal blocks (24 V and
0V).
Figure 2-4 Single power supply connection
Figure 2-5 Redundant power supply connection
CAUTION:
Incorrect connection may result in damage to equipment and/or serious personal injury.
Only qualified personnel may connect the power, start up, and operate this device.
According to the safety instructions in this text, qualified personnel are persons who are
authorized to start up, to ground, and to mark devices, systems, and equipment according
to the standards of safety technology. In addition, these persons must be familiar with all
warning instructions and maintenance measures in this text.
Disregarding this warning may result in damage to equipment and/or serious personal
injury.

Configuration and startup
3886_en_A PHOENIX CONTACT 15
3 Configuration and startup
3.1 Default settings
The default network settings of the GW PN/ASCII... are:
IP address: 192.168.254.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
3.2 Web-based management
The user-friendly, web-based management interface, a graphical user interface (GUI), can
be used to manage the GW PN/ASCII... from anywhere in the network using a standard
browser. Comprehensive configuration and diagnostic functions, including a wide range of
information about the device itself, the current parameters, and the operating state, are
clearly displayed.
3.3 Login
To log in:
1. Set the IP address of the connected PC to the subnetwork of the GW PN/ASCII...: for
example, IP = 192.168.254.10, subnetwork = 255.255.255.0.
2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the GW PN/ASCII... in the “Address”
field (default = 192.168.254.254).
Figure 3-1 “Login” screen
The web server responds immediately.
The default settings are invoked whenever the system is reset.
If the web server does not load, first check the IP parameters of the PC. If everything is set
correctly, check to see if there are any proxy settings loaded in the web browser. The proxy
setting must be set to “Load automatically” or “Deactivated” to properly establish
communication.

3. Enter the credentials to access the web server configuration pages. The default
credentials are:
User name: Admin
Default password: admin
3.4 Home screen
Immediately after login, the “Home” screen is displayed. From the “Home” screen, the basic
settings of the GW PN/ASCII... can be immediately configured by clicking on the
appropriate Ethernet port or serial port in the diagram of the module.
Figure 3-2 “Home” screen
Advanced settings can be accessed through the menu at the top of the screen. The “Home”
screen can be accessed at any time by clicking the “Home” button in the upper-left corner
of the web-based management interface.
Powering multiple devices with factory default IP addresses causes a network conflict, and
incorrect parameters may be set in the GW PN/ASCII... modules. When programming
modules for the first time, it is important to apply power to only one at a time, and change
the IP address of each module to a unique IP address. Once all devices have a unique IP
address, they can be powered on together while on the same network.
