QUICK START GUIDE
E3 Dual Ethernet I/O Module
OVERVIEW
These modules provide simple and secure remote
monitoring for sites located in harsh environments.
Offering the low cost per I/O point and rugged
environmental ratings, they are ideal for both control
rooms and extreme locations across industries that
include oil & gas, power & energy, transportation,
mining, and water/wastewater.
This guide covers initial configuration for the E3 I/O™
Modules.
FEATURES
•Flexible mix of I/O Channels support all instrumentation needs
•Dual independent Ethernet™ ports enable flexible networking
•Extensive health diagnostics and reporting reduce downtime
•Rugged design supports extreme temperatures and Class I, Div 2
•Marine and offshore tested and/or verified to meet standards such as ABS,
DNV 2.4 and LLoyds
DATA INTERFACES
Ethernet: Dual 10/100 Mbps Auto-sensing Female RJ45 port
USB: USB 2.0 Type B Female
GETTING STARTED
1. Mount the Hardware
These I/O modules snap onto standard DIN rail in the typical fashion. Alter-
natively they can be mounted directly to any flat surface.
2. Connect Power
Connect 10-30 VDC power to the power input screws. A Class 2 power
source is recommended because it has built-in current limiting to protect
against short circuits. However, it is not required.
3. Connect I/O
Make your field wiring connections between the I/O module's screw ter-
minals and your peripheral equipment. Refer to the module's I/O wiring
guide and the remote equipment's user manuals for I/O connection
details.
4. Install Communication Wiring
Make the necessary Ethernet, USB, and/or RS485 communication connec-
tions between the I/O modules and other devices (such as a master I/O
polling device).
5. Set Configuration Jumpers
Remove the configuration door and move the Network Mode and DI COM
jumpers to the desired settings. Note that the Network Mode jumper is
found on the back of the configuration door and the DI COM jumper
resides inside the module.
6. Turn ON the Power
Turn on the 10-30 VDC power. Observe the status (OK) LED. Typically a
solid ON indicates proper operation. A blinking LED may indicate that the
unit needs to be configured. Please view the E3 I/O module manual for
detailed information on the LED status lights.
7. Configure Using the Crimson®Software via USB
Application-specific configuration choices may be made by using the
Crimson configuration software running on a Windows® PC. First, down-
load the latest version of Crimson 3.0 from Red Lion website, and then
install Crimson 3.0. The USB driver for the E3 I/O module will be installed
with Crimson 3.0. Connect your PC to the USB-B port on the I/O Module. In
Crimson, go to Link-->Options. Select the “USB” communication selection.
Only one E3 should be connected to the PC at one time.
8. Configure Using the Web Server
Alternatively, the web server embedded with the I/O module may be used to
make configuration changes in the I/O module. To access the web server first,
open a web browser (Internet Explorer®, Chrome™ or Firefox® supported). Enter
the I/O module’s IP address into the web browser’s address bar (default IP
address from the factory is 192.168.1.21).
9. Test the Hardware
Use the Test I/O feature in the web server or Crimson software to verify
proper operation of all I/O modules in your system. Refer to the web
server or Crimson on-line help system for further instructions.
10. Configure your I/O Master
Refer to the user manual for your I/O master software or hardware on how
to configure and run Modbus or Sixnet protocol polling of these I/O mod-
ules.
