General Reference GuideIntroduction1 IntroductionThe aim of this guide is to provide you exhaustive information about the multiple eWON firmware features.Considering the gains in terms of optimization and performances that firmware version 5 brings, we recommend you to migrate from version 4 toversion 5 if not already done.Among the new items that are embedded in version 5, – the new web interface, the PPI-MPI-ISOTCP IOServers (MPI needs specific eWONhardware), the VPN (not available in all the eWON types), more security with “Basic Authentication” login – may convince you to upgrade from v4to v5.The upgrade process is described very precisely at the end of this manual, at chapter “Upgrading the eWON firmware” on page 192.This guide describes the version 5.3 features for all the eWON types. You will then find in this guide some references to a matrix table that youcan find at this end of this guide, in which you can quickly check whether the described feature impacts your eWON type or not. Please refer tochapter “Table of comparisons between eWON types” on page 203.Users who prefer to consult the printed manual should keep a printed copy of the eWON's comparison table apart from the entire guide to quicklycheck the different features that are available or not, depending on the type of eWON they are working with.Now let's discover all the possibilities offerd by your eWON V5 on a daily basis.Firmware 5.6s2: added features• SNMP IO ServerFirmware 5.5: added features• MITSUBISHI IO Server• PPI Multi-Master• ENDIAN server supportFirmware 5.4: added features• DHCP• ADSL• More Dynamic DNS poviders available• Web interface:Modem + Internet connection WizardsGSM operator selection + antenna Level displayed on ledISDN: MSN definition• HITACHI IO ServerRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 5

General Reference GuideIntroduction2 The eWON login page2.1 Access from a Computer BrowserWhen you connect to the eWON with Internet Explorer, you will be invited to log you on.Figure 1: eWON login pageThe factory predefined parameters to login on the eWON are:IP address 10.0.0.53Login admPassword admTable 1: eWON default login parametersIMPORTANT! Password IS case sensitive but user name is not.It is recommended to change the password of the "adm" user to protect it against any intrusion. You will be able to change the user configurationin the Users setup screen of your eWON (please refer to chapter “Users Setup” on page 8).2.2 Access from a PDA BrowserThe default Website of eWON is designed to be viewed on a PC Browser.In order to provide an access to the PDA home page, the full URL: http://ewon_ip/indexpda.htm must be entered.If the eWON is only supposed to be connected from PDA, the default home page (see “User defined home page” on page 13) can also bechanged.Figure 2: PDA WebsiteRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 6

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3 eWON Configuration InterfaceJust after you have logged in successfully, the eWON Web Interface will be displayed (as explained in the next chapter).Figure 3: eWON interface pageBut before analyzing the Monitoring Web Interfaces page, you need to configure your eWON.Click on the Configuration menu item. The following Configuration web page then appears:3.1 OverviewFigure 4: eWON configuration linksThe Configuration menu includes the following points:• User’s listThe user’s list is used by the eWON to restrict access to the various features of the eWON according to the user’s rights. It alsoallows logging the user’s actions (like alarm acknowledge…).See also chapter “Users Setup” on page 8• Tags listThe eWON monitors and manages variables (called Tags). A Tag can be Boolean or float, and Tags are produced by IO servers. Theconfiguration of a Tag defines its IO server and all its monitoring parameters (historical logging (Warning: not for all eWONsversions - see table page 203), alarm levels, etc.See also chapter “Tag definition: Introduction” on page 67• System configurationCommunication and global configuration of the eWON are defined here.See also chapter “System Setup” on page 12• IO Server configurationAs explained in chapter “Tag definition: Introduction” on page 67, each Tag is produced by an IO server. An IO server can interfacethe physical eWON IO or the Modbus remote IO, etc. Some of these IO servers require some configuration.See also chapter “IO servers setup” on page 79• Pages definitionsIt is possible to organize the Tags by groups. These groups are called "pages" and they help keep a clearer organization of theTags and also manage per user rights for the Tags. Two pages, called "Default" and "System" are automatically defined, and up to10 pages can be user defined.See also chapter “Pages configuration” on page 79• Scripts ConfigurationThe Basic language that is embedded in the eWON allows you to create your own scripts that you will use to get access to the datathat are stored in the eWON, in order to perform real-time monitoring or programming actions on alarms,...See also chapter “Script Setup” on page 80• WizardsSome wizards are availables to help you quickly configure some eWON features.See also chapterRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 7

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.2 Users SetupThe Users Setup page allows building the list of authorized eWON users.Figure 5: eWON Users Setup pageThe user’s page lists all the eWON users and attributes. The first time that you connect to the eWON, the default user is Adm. It is recommendedto modify the default password of the Administrator user.3.2.1 To edit a userClick on the user's name link in the User Login column.3.2.2 To create a new userClick on the Create New user link.In both cases, you will get the following edit window:Figure 6: eWON user's configuration pageRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 8

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.2.3 Logon parametersFirst Name and Last Name are detailed (and optional) information about the user, while User Login and Password are mandatory (they areused during the logon procedure).Logon procedures using the User Login and Password are:• Main eWON access logon• FTP server access• User defined page Digest access authentication (please refer to chapter “eWON identification” on page 13)• PPP Dial up connectionWarning: depending on the eWON's version (c.f. table at the end of this manual page 203)The same user name and password will be used for the different access.3.2.4 User's rightsThe following rights can be selected for user:Figure 7: User RightsView IOForce outputsAcknowledge alarmsChange configurationFTP server accesseWON File access [EBD]Java Forms accessControl Java JVMallows accessing the SCADA real time IO screenallows changing the eWON outputsallows acknowledging alarmallows accessing the configuration part of the eWONallow this UserName/Password to be used to access the eWON FTP Serverallows accessing the File Transfer page.allow this UserName/Password to be used to retrieve eWON Files (containing ExportBlock Descriptor) with HTTP request using/rcgi.bin/ParamForm?AST_Param=$$...EBD...allows accessing the Java Formsallows this user to control the Java JVMTable 2: user’s rights explanationsRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 9

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.2.5 User’s directory restrictionWhen the user web site is built, HTML (or SHTM) pages can be placed in subdirectories. The root directory of the user defined web site is /usr(from the FTP directory structure). Every user has access to that directory./usr is considered as DEFAULT directory for the web site.For this explanation, assume that the following FTP directory structure is defined:/usr/System contains pages for system administration/usr/Update contains HTML files to update TagsThere are 10 user defined pages (please refer to chapter “Pages configuration” on page 79) and one default page. Let’s suppose that for theexplanation the following pages have been defined:Page 2 SystemPage 3 UpdateWhen editing users rights, the following list would be proposed:The following security schemes would be possible:Dir. Right selectedAllDefaultSystemUpdateHTML Pages in any directory will be accessible.Only the /usr directory pages will be accessible.Access description/usr and /System directory pages will be accessible.Note: this is obviously not useful because /usr/Update will not be accessible which is probablynot what is required for an "administrator". In the "administrator" case, the best selection isprobably "All"./usr and /usr/Update directory pages will be accessible.Note:/usr is always accessible.When a subdirectory is accessible, all its subdirectories are accessible as well.Example: /usr/Update/image would also be accessible.Table 3: user’s security schemes - 1The proposed directories list is derived from the PAGES LIST. It is of the user's responsibility to create the same pages as the directories in theFTP structure (otherwise security setup will not be possible).RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 10

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.2.6 Tag pages restrictionThere are 10 user defined pages (please refer to chapter “Pages configuration” on page 79) and one default page. The security mechanismfollows the below rules:• User has always access to the "Default" page• User can have access to all pages• User can have access to only 1 pageExample: taking the same pages as in the previous example, the following selection box appears:The following security schemes would be possible:Page Right selectedAllDefaultUpdateSystemAccess descriptionAccess to all Tag pages is granted.Only the "Default" page is accessible."Default" and "Update" pages would be accessible."Default" and "System" pages would be accessible.Table 4: user’s security schemes - 23.2.7 To delete a userClick on the check box just next to the user's login of the user that you want to delete and click on the Delete Selected Users link.• Note 1: you can select for deletion more than one user at the same time• Note 2: the Adm user won’t be deleted (but you can rename it)• Note 3: password is CASE SENSITIVE3.2.8 Callback settingsWarning: depending on the eWON's version (c.f. Table 187 on page 203)When the callback is enabled as a global parameter in the COM Setup page, the user can initiate a User’s callback and specify when the triggerwill be started for the callback.The callback phone number can be forced (from this menu), then the user can only initiate a call to a fixed phone number; or User Defined, thenhe can modify the phone number. In the first case, the list box is set to Mandatory, and in the second case, it is set to User Defined.The callback phone number can be specified here. Remember that the user’s login and password that have been defined for the eWON accessare used as login and password on the remote server called for callback.3.2.9 Validation of the User's settingsFigure 8: User’s callback settingsWhen all the required fields are filled in, you can either click on the Add/Update button (to validate your changes) or on the Cancel button (toundo your changes).RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 11

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.3 System SetupThe system setup page (accessed by clicking on the System Setup item from the configuration menu) allows to set all the eWON systemparameters and looks as follows:Figure 9: eWON system configuration pageThis section has a high impact on the eWON behavior (mainly from a communication point of view). You should fill it in carefully.The System setup page is divided in three sections:• The Main system setup (General)Defines all the eWON global settings, except for settings regarding the eWON communication. The user can modify the Email, FTPand NTP parameters, along with reboot.• The Communication setup sectionIncludes all the communication settings of the eWON. These settings are separated from the Main settings and even stored at adifferent place inside the device in order to be able to format the eWON flash file system without affecting the communicationsettings (see also chapter “eWON configuration and files storage” on page 199. A menu allows the user to reset thecommunication parameters to their default values.• The storage setup sectionUsed to set up the way the memory resources from the eWON are used.3.3.1 General system setupThe General system page was presented in firmware 4 with a links menu on the left. These links are replaced by a tree with icons in firmware 5(see below).Firmware 4Firmware 5RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 12

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.3.1.1 eWON identificationFigure 10: eWON system general setup – eWON identificationControleWON IdentificationGeneral InformationUser defined home pageEnable user page securityDescriptionThe name of the eWON. This information is added in each eWON e-mail alarm notification. Check thatthis identification and the next one allow you to identify your eWON without any doubt.As for the eWON identification, you can put a free text. But it can be very useful to indicate here theeWON geographical location and phone number.When a user defined web site is used, the home page of the eWON web site can be replaced by a userdefined web page. If your default home page is a viewON synopsis, you need to select "viewONsynopsis" in the Combo box and enter the name of the synopsis in the Text box.If your default home page is a classical HTML page, you need to select "http://your_device_ip/usr" inthe Combo box and enter the name of the page in the Text box.If a user web site is defined, then default user logon page is not displayed and there is no session, butusing Basic Authentication can also ensure security. This checkbox will enable the security when theuser wants to access a user-defined page.Table 5: eWON Identification controlsAfter having encoded your parameters, go to the bottom of the page to .RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 13

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.3.1.2 Alarms (globals parameters)Figure 11: eWON system general setup – AlarmsControlAction retrig intervalTry actionAction retry intervalDescriptionIf an alarm is still present after this interval, then a new action on alarm will be triggered once (only if the alarmcondition is still true AND if the alarm has not been acknowledged yet). The default value for this parameter isone day (86400 seconds).This parameter defines the number of times the action will be retried in case of errors. The value of this numbermust be greater than 1.This parameter defines the interval between two actions attempts if an error occurs. The value for this parametermust be greater than 10.Table 6: global alarms controlsAfter having encoded your parameters, go to the bottom of the page to .3.3.1.3 Date & timeFigure 12: eWON system Date & time setupThe eWON’s real time clock can be updated manually with this dialog window. Fill in the edit box with date and time and click on .An event will be added to the event log indicating the time update and the time offset between old and new time.Important: Updating the time may result in duplicate points stored in non-chronological order in the eWON files (alarms,events and historical).RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 14

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.3.1.4 RebootRebooting eWON is sometimes necessary (i.e. to validate some configuration changes).Figure 13: eWON system RebooteWON version 5 offers three ways to perform a reboot:• From the Reboot menu from General configuration page• By using the "REBOOT" Basic command (see eWON programming Manual).• From the Reboot menu from Storage configuration menu (on page 66)You will have to wait that the eWON comes back to its normal state after restarting to get access to it again.Some special operation like “Upgrade the firmware of the Modem” requires a reboot with the BootOp parameter set to a specific value. Use theSpecial operation field to select the BootOperation to do. Now, only the Modem Upgrade value is available.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 15

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.3.2 Net services setupRegarding its Internet connectivity features, the eWON has basically two modes of operation:• A server mode (Web server and FTP server)• A client mode (Email client, FTP client and NTP client)In the server mode, the eWON is waiting for a client to connect with its Web browser or with its FTP client.In the client mode, the eWON needs to connect to a server. For this connection, you should at least know the IP address of the server and thePort number for the required service. Sometimes a username and a password are also required.Note: Except in some special cases, the Port number is usually the default value proposed by the eWON. This setup section isused to define the eWON’s CLIENT MODE configuration.3.3.2.1 Virtual Com Port Setup (VCOM)3.3.2.1.1 IntroductionVCOM (or more precisely « Virtual COM port ») is a technology that consists in using the eWON’s serial port as if it was a standard COM port ofa PC running Windows.Actually, a software is installed on the PC; this software is a kind of driver that simulates additional COM ports on your PC. The PC iscommunicating with the eWON and the eWON serial port outputs all data transferred through the PC virtual serial port. The PC virtual portreceives all data received by the eWON’s serial port.PC with Virtual COMdriver linked to eWONeWON VCom serial portlinked to serial deviceFigure 14: Virtual COM Port link used to read data on serial devices through eWONThe eWON supports two kinds of VCOM mode and an additional mode which is not exactly classified as a VCOM mode although it has the samepurpose.3.3.2.1.2 RAW TCPThe first mode is called RAW TCP. This is a basic mode thanks to which the PC opens a TCP/IP socket to the eWON on a predefined port. Thissocket is used to exchange data from and towards the eWON’s serial port.The Serial port configuration (baud rate, parity, etc.) must be defined in the eWON’s configuration. The serial port signals (RTS, DTR, etc.) arenot exchanged between the PC and the eWON.This mode can also be used to create simple TCP/IP applications that need to communicate through the eWON’s serial port, as the onlyrequirement is to open a TCP/IP socket on the eWON.3.3.2.1.3 TELNET RFC2217This is a more complex communication protocol between the PC and the eWON. In addition to the RAW mode this mode allows to controlremotely the eWON’s serial port. Every configuration change that is made to the PC virtual COM port is automatically applied to eWON serialport. For example if you open a HyperTerminal on the PC’s virtual serial port and you change the serial port’s baud rate, the eWON’s serial portbaud rate will change accordingly.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 16

General Reference GuideeWON ConfigurationAnother feature of the TELNET RFC2217 mode is its ability to change the modem line status. This means that the RTS/CTS, DTR, DCD (etc.)levels of the eWON’s physical port are reflected to the PC virtual port and vice-versa.This protocol is called TELNET RFC 2217 because it has been standardized and described in an RFC specification. It means that any clientsupporting the RFC2217 protocol can use the eWON as a virtual port server.3.3.2.1.4 MODBUS/TCP MODBUS/RTU GatewayAlthough it is possible to use this technology to transfer almost any type of data through the virtual serial port, some protocols require specialhandling for efficient operation. ModbusRTU is one of these protocols and VCOM technology does not apply well to that protocol. For ModbusRTU communication it is recommended to use the MbsTcpCOM software and use the eWON as a ModbusTCP to ModbusRTU gateway.3.3.2.2 PC Virtual COM Port driverThere are different options for creating virtual serial ports on the PC side.3.3.2.2.1 MbsTcpCOMThis software provided by eWON s.a. is used to create ONE virtual COM port on the PC, the virtual COM port must only be used by softwaresthat are supposed to communicate on the PC serial port in ModbusRTU.The ModbusRTU slave is actually connected to the eWON’s serial port. The PC software believes that it is “talking” directly to the device throughits serial port while it actually "talks" to its virtual serial port that transfers all the data to the eWON by translating every requests into ModbusTCP(without interpreting them).This software is downloadable for free from http://www.ewon.biz.3.3.2.2.2 Serial/IPTactical Software provides this software: http://www.tactical-sw.comThis software is not for free. It can be purchased directly from the Tactical software website.An 30 days-evaluation version is available for download from this site.The software supports both RAW TCP and Telnet RFC 2217 modes and works on all Windows version from Windows 95 to Windows XP.The software can create up to 256 virtual serial ports that communicate with multiple eWONs.3.3.2.3 eWON VCOM Configuration3.3.2.3.1 IntroductionAll serial ports can be used for VCOM.Depending on the eWON type, you have 1, 2 or 4 serial ports.The COM1 is always the serial port 1 of the eWON.The COM2 is always the MODEM port (even if there is no modem present on your eWON, the COM2 exists but is useless).The COM3, if present, is linked to the serial port 2 (SER2), the full RS-232 port on eWON4002.The COM4, if present, is linked to the serial port 3 (SER3).As COM2 is the modem, it should only be used for debug purposes because when the port is used by VCOM it is not available to PPP or SMScommunication.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 17

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.3.2.3.2 Web configurationYou get access to the COM1 (or COM2) VIRTUAL PORT CONFIGURATION page by following this path from the Main Menu navigation bar:Configuration/System Setup/General/Net services/Virtual Com :Figure 15: eWON Virtual COM port configuration pageYou may first choose the COM port you want to configure in the COM Port: scrolling menu. You can then define the following parameters:ControlPort TypeTCP PortPoll Signal IntervalDebugAlways accept new clientsInactivity TimeoutLine parametersHW ModeDescriptionIf Disabled is selected, then VCOM will not be used on this port.The PC will have to connect to that TCP/IP port to communicate through the eWON serial port.REM: if multiple VCOM are defined on the same eWON, they must all use a different TCP/IP port.This parameter is only used in TELNET RFC2217 mode. In that mode the eWON will scan the modem port forchanges in modem line input levels (CTS, DSR, DCD, RING) thus this parameters defines the scan rate. Thedefault value of 100msec should be fast enough for most applications.Activate the recording of debug info for VCOM. When activated, this function slows down the overallperfomance of the eWON.All debug info will be accessible in the Diagnostic->Real Time Log menu.When a PC is connected to the eWON, then a socket is opened by the PC to the eWON. If for example the PCsuddenly switches off, the eWON will not know that the socket should be closed, and when the PC will try toconnect again, the eWON will refuse the connection. This option is provided in order to avoid that situation;when checked, the eWON will always be ready for a new connection, and the new connection will replace theprevious connection. This means also that if one PC is connected to the VCOM port, and that another PC triesto connect with this option checked, the new PC connection will be accepted and the existing PC connectionwill be closed.There is another way to avoid that an unused but opened socket prevents access to the eWON (if theprevious option has NOT BEEN checked). If you set this option with a value different of 0, then the eWON willclose its VCOM socket if there is no communication for a given amount of time. If serial communication issupposed to occur all the time this option can be useful, but if silence in communication is expected, then thisoption will obviously not apply.Except for HW Mode, which is an “hardware parameter” (only configurable in the eWON), these parametersare only used when the port is configured in RAW TCP mode, because in TELNET RFC2217 mode the PCvirtual port will usually change them. In any case, this will define the initial or default values.Hardware Mode represents the hardware behavior of the serial link. Available values are :• HalfDuplex• FullDuplex with HardWare handshaking (default)• FullDuplex with NO handshakingREM: This mode cannot be controlled remotely by RFC 2217Table 7: eWON virtual COM port configuration controlsRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 18

General Reference GuideeWON ConfigurationWhen using modem port for VCOM, the following must be considered:• Modem serial port is normally owned by PPP:• If an SMS transfer is in progress and a VCOM client tries to connect, the VCOM connection will fail.• If a VCOM client is connected, and an SMS must be sent, the SMS sending will fail.• When an SMS transfer or a VCOM connection ends, the PPP is again the owner of the modem serial port.3.3.2.4 SMTP (mails) setupFigure 16: eWON setup SMTP pageControlSMTP server addressSMTP Server portEmail "From" User nameUser namePasswordDescriptionThe IP address of the SMTP server which the Email notification will be sent to.

This includes all thecompression modes known by the eWON PPP engine (Van Jacobson, header compression,…).When checked, this ensures that when an incoming call is undergoing, no external event, such asalarm Email, will drop the line in order to initiate a new connection. If an alarm has to be sent throughthe PPP connection (FTP, Email, …), the current PPP link will be used. Be aware that SMS alarms willalways drop the line, whatever the value of this checkbox. On the other hand, if this box is uncheckedand an Email has to be sent while the connection has been established by a user to browse theeWON, if the Email can be sent through the Ethernet link, the PPP link will NOT be dropped.note: See also “Ethernet Gateway behavior” on page 49You can fix the number of rings before the eWON answers.

To avoid eWON to stay stucked due toany modem reason, you can use this parameter to force a reset of the modem after xxxoutgoing calls failure.Only available on eWON with GPRS modem.Time in seconds: if the GPRS dial-out connection is shorter than this time, the connection isconsidered as ERROR.If set to “-1”, this time is not tested (default value = 4).See "Note: GPRS modem connection error management" on page 39.Only available on eWON with GPRS modem.Maximum number of GPRS connection ERROR accepted before the modem is reset(default value = 5).See "Note: GPRS modem connection error management" on page 39.This is the allocated time budget for outgoing calls. When a communication initiated by theeWON is in progress, the current period budget (remaining time) is reduced.When all the time budget is used, the eWON cannot make outgoing call.This is the time allowed in order to use the budget. After the call period is over, a new periodis started and the new period timer is reset to this value. In the above example, this meansthat the current budget period is reset to 24 hours each 168 hours. The reset period isrestored to its value each time one of the three configuration fields is modified.This is the remaining call budget for the current period, expressed in hours:min:sec. A newbudget can be provided; this restarts a new reset period. For example, in the above example24 hours are remaining, if we force 100 hours as call budget, the reset period is reset. Thismeans that for the newly started period, 100 hours are allocated. A new period will start againin a delay of 168 hours.Information: counters of volume transmitted (IN and OUT)You can reset it by checking the ‘Reset’ box.Table 30: outgoing calls configuration controlsClick on the Update button when you have filled this part of the eWON configuration.Note: GPRS modem connection error managementThe “Minimum GPRS connection duration” and the “Reset GPRS modem after“ parameters have been added to monitor problems with GSM-GPRS connection.In case these problems occur, the result can be a short or unsuccessful PPP connection.

When the Internet connection was “activated” by theWAN management, the Interface configuration was not affected, only the gateway configuration was modified.Since version 5.4, the WAN Ethernet interface is managed like the PPP interface i.e. it is pulled up when activated and pulled down whendeactivated.Consequently, the WAN Ethernet IP configuration can be changed and the new configuration will be applied the next time the interface goes up.3.3.4.2.5.3 PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)In the eWON, the PPP is the Modem connectionThis PPP connection could- be an Incoming or Outgoing modem connection- update the default Gateway of the eWON- be considered as a WANDepending of the PPP connection type, the Gateway (GW) and/or the WAN are presents.PPP connection type Gateway WANdefault Outgoing connection(eWON acts as PPP client)Callback to “Primary/Secondary server”Outgoing connection(eWON acts as PPP client)Callback to “User Defined Phone Number”Outgoing connection(eWON acts as PPP client)Incoming connection(eWON acts as PPP server)YesYesNoYes (*)YesYesNoNoTable 33: PPP: Gateway and WAN(*) Only if “Use incoming for outgoing” is checkedRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 48

This will happenonly if the WAN connection is not enabled at that time.So, if the PPP connection is established and the WAN connection is notactive, the PPP connection becomes the gateway. If the WAN connection isactive, then the PPP connection will not become the gateway.3.3.4.2.6.2 eWON with 1 Ethernet interface• Normal behaviorIn that case, if a gateway is defined, it will become the default gateway only if the Internet access is set to “No internet access”'If the “Network connection” is configured to something different from “No internet access”, the Ethernet gateway will not become the defaultgateway, and a warning will be issued in the event log:“Ethernet gateway not used (incompatible internet connection)”• Gateway during an incoming PPP connectionDuring the incoming PPP connection, the default gateway is normally not changed, except if the 'Use incoming for outgoing' option has beenselected.In that case, the default gateway becomes the PPP connection during theincoming connection.The default gateway is reconfigured to the Ethernet gateway when the PPPconnection ends.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 49

This means that the eWON can betriggered by an external event in order to call a given phone number in order to establish a PPP link.This permits to let the eWON’s phone line pay for the call, with a budget maintained by the eWONitself. This also ensures more security if you are calling back a private server. Do not forget to enableoutgoing calls in the dialup configuration.Once the eWON has been triggered, it will wait for this amount of time before dialing out. This is usefulin order to release the phone line or perform any other action.Once the eWON has been triggered, it will wait for this amount of time in order for the user to log-in.Otherwise, the call is dropped. It is clear that this delay has to be greater than the sum of the callbackdelay and the call establishment.This list box permits to choose the server used for callback. The "User’s request account" option cannot be chosen when the trigger mode is "Ring", because the eWON does not know the server data atthis time.Enables/Disables the publication of the IP address once the eWON is connected to the Internet.The publishing parameters are defined in the “Publis IP Address” menu (previous chapter).This is a mutual exclusive option with Callback on User’s request. Selecting this option disables theUser Callback mode. When the eWON sees an incoming call, it will trigger its callback task.(minimum value is 2): This is the number of rings needed before the eWON callback function istriggered. Assuming that a value of 3 has been entered, the eWON will generate a callback ifsomeone calls the eWON and lets the phone ring 5 times.(minimum value is 5): This is the number of rings that are necessary to avoid the callback trigger.Assuming that a value of 5 has been entered, if the user tries to call the eWON directly, this can beachieved by ringing the phone more than the sum from the two values. With the current example, theeWON will pick up the line after more than 3+5=8 rings are detected.When this option is selected, the eWON accepts the incoming calls and then the user can request acallback to a defined server.When connecting to an eWON with Callback on user's request, you will get the following webpage.You will start the callback by using the Callback button or abort (hang up the phone line) by using the"Close PPP Connection" button.The callback can be performed with the parameters specified in the user’s configuration page.

Table 187 on page 203)This page contains the router configuration of the eWON, the PPP settings for the server and client functions of the eWON engine, in order todefine the way that you will use your eWON to access remote devices, and access them through the eWON as if they were on your local site.Figure 45: Routing setup page (on eWON VPN : 2005, 4005, 2101, 4101, 2104, 4104)ControlDescriptionSpecial rulesRoute all gateway traffic throughVPNCheck this box if you want to route ALL gateway traffic (expect static routes) through theactive VPN interface.If unchecked, the traffic could take the VPN route or the WAN route (uncrypted).NAT and Transparent ForwardingApply NAT and TF to connectionEnable transparent forwardingHighest transparent forwardingportThis feature enables the Network Address Translation (NAT) and Transparent Forwarding(TF). If the device to reach is on the same LAN as the eWON, and if the user has correctlydefined the address IP and the port for this device, then the eWON will redirect the packetstowards it. This means that only the packets for the concerned port will be redirected towardsthe selected IP address.You can choose on which interfaces this NAT and TF will be used: VPN, WAN or disable it.If this box is checked, the transparent forwarding feature of the eWON is activated (see belowfor Transparent Forwarding definition).Only a range of ports are forwarded transparently.You can control this range, from 0 to 32767 (Default is 10000).The above Ports will be directed to eWON itself.Exception: to allow to come back to the eWON website, the port 81 (by default) is excludedfrom this range.note: If Network Connection is on ADSL, and you want to allow devices connected to the eWON-LAN to go to the Internet, you mustset the Routing to NAT and TF on WAN.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 55

General Reference GuideeWON ConfigurationFigure 46: Routing setup page (on eWON without VPN : 2001, 4001, 4002)The IP Forwarding configuration check box enables the forwarding between both interfaces (LAN and PPP).On VPN eWONs, this check box does not appear because IP Forwarding is always active.TermIP forwardingNATTransparent forwardingDefinitionThis means that a link can be performed between PPP and Ethernet IP packets. Please notethat this is dangerous because it can connect your LAN directly to the Internet.This feature can be used in order to connect a device to the Internet through the eWON. Forexample, if an automaton is connected to the Ethernet LAN of the eWON and has the eWONIP address as gateway address, the eWON will perform anything needed in order for thedevice to send its packets (dialout, IP translation …). Example: a device sends a mail on theInternet, while the eWON performs the PPP dial-out.Another use is to access a device located on the Ethernet LAN of the eWON, the user directlycalls the eWON and then gets access to its distant device through its LAN IP address.Example: a user on a LAN with IP address range 192.168.0.xxx can access its device on theeWON LAN, with the eWON IP address 10.0.0.81 and the distant device with IP 10.0.0.82and having the eWON as a gateway. The eWON will for example assign the IP address202.0.0.1 to the PPP adapter of the PC and take for its PPP adapter the IP address202.0.0.240.Network Address Translation (NAT).If the device to reach is on the same LAN as the eWON, and if the user has correctly definedthe address IP and the port for this device, then the eWON will redirect the packets towards it.This means that only the packets for the concerned port will be redirected towards theselected IP address. IP Forwarding must be activated for NAT to be active.For this to work, the IP forwarding must also be enabled. With simple IP forwarding, it is notpossible to access a device located on the eWON Ethernet LAN through the Internet. Forexample if the eWON is connected to the Internet through PPP (for example on alarm), itpublishes its IP address by email. In order to have access to its device, the user cannot simplytype the IP address of the device like this was done with IP forwarding and direct eWON call.In this case, transparent forwarding is the only solution: when accessing the eWON, the usercan request to perform transparent forwarding once he logs in. He can then see the windowthat is illustrated by the screenshot below this table. If the device is on the same network asthe eWON and gets the eWON as gateway, and if the user configured the IP address of thedevice at eWON login, the eWON routes all packets to this device.This means that all IP packets, on all ports except 81 will be routed transparently to theselected IP address. In order to get access to the eWON web server, the user has to connectto port 81 of the eWON IP address. For example http://10.0.0.53:81 will access the eWONmain page, while 10.0.0.53 will access the IP address 10.0.0.56 of the device located onto theLAN if the user selected this IP at logon. The user can clear transparent forwarding by gettingaccess to the port 81 and using the “Clear transp forwarding” button. Note that FTP cannot berouted, since it includes the target IP address in its frame in text mode.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 56

General Reference GuideeWON ConfigurationFigure 47: eWON PPP Router logon screen3.3.4.3.5.1 Static routesBefore the firmware 5.2, it was only possible to configure a default gateway to reach a given destination node when not located on the eWON'sphysical network.This feature adds the ability to configure 3 additional entries in eWON's routing tables (static routes).The eWON will forward packets using these routing entries when the IP packet destination matches one of the routing destination entries. Thedefault gateway if specified will only be used when no routing entry matches the destination.ControlDescriptionStatic routes tableDestination & MaskGatewayHopsClear (button)The destination IP address and the mask represent a range of addresses that must be routedthrough a specific gateway.ex: dest=192.168.1.0 & mask=255.255.255.0 correspond to the range of address between192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255This is the IP address of the gateway that must be used to route the range of address definedby Destination/Mask.Important: the Gateway address must be in the IP range of the eWON interface.In other words, the Gateway must be accessible by the eWON.For example if the IP address is 10.0.0.53/255.255.255.0, the gateway can be 10.0.0.254, butit CANNOT be 192.168.1.1.This is the number of hops to reach the destination using the given route. This parameter willdefine the priority of the routes. The eWON local routes (routes that do not require theemission of a packet through an interface) have a 0 hop metric. A route where the destinationcan be reached through the interface has a 1 hop metric.The higher the metric is, the lower the route's priority will be.The clear button can be used to invalidate the route entry content and remove the route.Important: The route configuration is applied immediately when the update button is pushed. It is not required to reboot the eWONto apply the routes modification.note: The default gateway is NOT defined using these configuration variables (Ethernet Gateway is used instead).RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 57

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.3.4.3.6 Proxy3.3.4.3.6.1 Why a proxy feature?Since firmware 5.2, the eWON has a built-in ProxyServer.The Proxy feature is similar to the transparent forwarding, with some advantages and some drawbacks.To be precise, it is not exactly equivalent to the transparent forwarding that forwards all the ports (except the 81), but more like a “port forwarding”feature that would forward some ports.The main advantage of the proxy implementation is that the "proxy's destination device" must NOT define the eWON as its gateway.3.3.4.3.6.2 Comments on the proxy feature• OverheadThere is an important difference between a forwarded packet and a proxied packet . When the packet is forwarded, it is modified at a very lowlevel of the stack, then it is immediately resent without any further interpretation, manipulation or storage.When the packet is proxied, the stack must first maintain storage for the proxied sockets, then every packet must walk the stack all way up tothe proxy application, then all the way down to be resent.This means an additional load for the system.• Proxied ports must be known and configuredIn “Forwarding” mode all ports are forwarded, there is no need to configure anything.In Proxied mode, the user must know what port(s) he wants to forward and what protocol (UDP,TCP, FTP) will flow on the port.• More intrusive contentAs said before in “Forwarding” mode, the packet is resent “as received”. If it contains 4 bytes, 4 bytes are resent. This is not true in the proxymode as the received data are (at least may be) re-aggregated at the proxy level.Example: if the client sends a 4 bytes packet followed by a 2 bytes packet, then the proxy can resend a 6 bytes packet to the "proxy'sdestination device". From a TCP point of view, there is no difference, but from a behavior point of view, there is a slight difference.One must check what protocol are considered here with the "proxy's destination device" and check if there is a chance that the proxy maydisturb the client-"proxy's destination device" discussion.3.3.4.3.6.3 Configuration.Figure 48: Proxy configuration pageRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 58

The proxy operation can be switched on or off at anytime during the eWON operation without reboot.Any change in the configuration is applied as soon as the configuration is changed.Each time a client opens a connection to the proxy, the connection is kept opened until theclient explicitly closes it or until this timeout is elapsed without data being transferred on thesocket.This is required if a client is for example switched off while the connection is active, theconnection will be dropped and the memory recovered after the timeout is elapsed.For each proxy entry, a maximum number of connections can be opened at a given time on aproxy port. This parameter defines the maximum.Select the interface (WAN, PPP incoming or VPN) where the proxy rules are applied.Table 36: Proxy Global parameters tableDescriptionThis is the type of protocol that the eWON will proxy to the given server. These protocols arehandled differently and must be specified in the configuration.Available protocols are :• Disabled (0)• UDP (1)• TCP (2)• FTP (3)Although FTP is TCP, it must be specified. The FTP proxy will work for passive and activeconnections.REM: If ProxyProto is set to “disabled”, then the full proxy entry will be disabled, regardless ofthe other entry parameter's values.The eWON's proxy is completely symetric, it can work in both directions.Usualy the user will want to proxy from the EXT to the LAN in order to access a device on theLAN that has not the eWON as gateway.But a device can also connect to a server on the EXT without having the eWON as gateway.This is true as long as the server has a fixed IP address that can be entered in the Proxyconfiguration.Available directions are :• Disabled (0)• EXT to LAN (1)• LAN to EXT (2)REM: If ProxySide is set to “disabled”, then the full proxy entry will be disabled, regardless ofthe other entry parameter's values.Port number on which the eWON will listen.For example, if the eWON must forward ports on a web server on port 80 and the client willconnect to the eWON on port 8080, then incoming port (ProxyPort)=8080 and Destinationport (ProxySrvPort)=80Port number on which the eWON will connect when it receives a connection from the proxyclient. This port will be the server port on device with the Destination IP address.The IP Address of the server the eWON will connect to when it receives a connection on itsproxy port (ProxyPort).REM: If the Destination IP address is set to 0, then the full proxy entry will be disabled,regardless of the other entry parameter's values.Table 37: Proxy Entry parameters tableNote: There are 10 Proxy Entries, the # character found in the table above represent the index of the proxy entry, first entry has theindex 1 (i.e.: ProxyProto1), the last entry has the index 10 (i.e.: ProxyProto10).RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 59

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.4 Tag Setup3.4.1 Tag definition: IntroductionThe eWON Monitoring Web Interface features are based on:• The configurable monitoring of Tags• The execution of scriptsAll the variables monitored by the eWON are defined as "Tags". A Tag is a Boolean or Float value changing with time and coming from a datasource.Typical data-sources are:• eWON internal Inputs/Outputs• Remote Inputs/Outputs (modbus, UnitelWay, ...)• eWON memory Inputs/Outputs (updated by script)The data source is called an "IO Server". An IO Server is the interface between the changing value and the eWON monitoring engine. It is a kindof driver. Any variable from any data source must have a common representation for all IO Servers in order to define common interface in theeWON.The data-source representation in the eWON uses 3 fields for the definition of a Tag:• The IO Server Name• The Topic name• The Item NameA Tag’s data-source will be uniquely identified with these 3 parameters.IO Server nameTopic NameItem NameIs a kind of driver name. For each IO Server there is a specific Topic Name and Item Namesyntax. The following drivers are available: MODBUS, EWON, MEM, NETMPI, UNITE(Unitelway), DF1, FINS, S7 3&400(MPI), S7 200(PPI) and S5-AS511.Is used to group items inside an IO Server, for example the memory an IO Server uses theblank topic ("") and the retentive topic ("ret"). All the Tags of the MEM IO Server defined in the"ret" topic will have their value saved and restored when the eWON boots. All the IO serversdo not use Topic Name. In that case Topic Name must be empty.The item name is a string of characters; its syntax is specific to each IO Server. The ItemName describes the physical variable to monitor using the IO Server.Table 41: Tag’s data-source parametersFor example, the MODBUS IO Server needs to poll registers or coils from a slave, so it uses an item name representation to define the registertype, register address and slave address. (Example "40001,5" => Where 4 means read write register, 0001 is the register number and 5 is theslave Modbus address).A description of the different IO Server syntax is given in chapter “The eWON IO Servers” on page 85. Once a Tag is configured with its ServerName, Topic Name and Item Name, it is given a Tag name that will be used everywhere in the eWON.3.4.1.1 Tags are stored as FloatInternally, all the tags are stored in single precision FLOAT format (IEEE float representation).This means that you can only expect a maximum precision of 7 decimal digits.That’s why, the 32 bits Integer data read by an IOServer will be automatically converted in the nearest float number representation.For a huge number, it will mean a truncation (ex: integer value 1600000015 will be stored as float 1600000000.0).RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 67

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration3.4.1.2 Tags validationFor optimisation purpose and since firmware version 5.2, the eWON can detect if tags are valid or not, and disables the polling of invalid tags.By default, this feature is not activated, See "Global Config" on page 86 to enable it.At the creation of the Tags or at the initialisation of an IOServer, all tags are considered as valid and are polled.If repetitive errors occur on some Tags, these tags will be considered as invalid and will not be polled anymore !A specific error message will be written in the event log.This message is "Protocol Error while reading Tag (TagName - Polling disabled for this tag)" (see example in figure below)Invalid tags will be polled again when:Figure 60: Tag validation - error event• the IOServer is started (i.e.: after a IOServer modification)• a manual INIT of the IOServer (See "IO Server Init" on page 86)• a modification of the Tag (in the I/O Server Setup part of Tag Setup)3.4.1.3 Tags monitoring and handlingThe eWON engine can handle the following operations on the Tags:OperationAlarm monitoringHistorical loggingReal Time loggingModbus TCP publishingTag groupingScript AccessDescriptionCheck for low and high alarm levels or Boolean alarm level and management of alarmacknowledgement, alarm historical logging and action on alarm (Email, SMS, etc.)Tags can be monitored and changes on a Tag can be saved in the Flash File System.Storage can be based on change threshold or at regular interval.A Tag history can be kept in memory for an amount of time with a given time interval. Thisoperation is volatile and does not involve any flash storage.All the Tags can be given a Modbus address and can be read using the Modbus TCP protocolby and external modbus TCP master.Tags can be organized by page for easier handling and viewing.All the Tags values and attributes can be read or changed from script.Table 42: Tags operations handled by the eWON3.4.2 Tag definition: SetupThe Tag Setup page, reachable by clicking on the Tag Setup item of the Configuration menu, offer the possibility to build the eWON Tag’sdictionary.The Tag name dictionary is the eWON central database where you have to define all the Input / Output (internal – available on the eWON – orexternal – through extension bus) that you want the eWON to monitor. If your Input/Output is not defined by a Tag, you will not be able to addressit.The Tag configuration includes two parts:• The complete Tag configuration except for the actions to execute in case of an alarm.• The alarm action list.The first part of the configuration is accessed through the Tag hyperlink; the second part is accessed with theicon next to the Tag hyperlink.Note: In the header menu of the Tag edition, a combo box appears with a list of pages (please refer to chapter “Pages configuration”on page 79).

But in case of doubt, you can confirm the type by checking the View IO for the Tag:• Remove the "Force Read Only" option in the Tag configuration (disabled by default).• Check the View IO page, if the Tag has an update field, it means it is a RW Tag otherwise the Tag is RO.• The address selected will be the address of the Modbus 16 bit register. The address range starts with register 1 (in the Modbus frame,eWON register 1 is transmitted as 0).• Publish as floatThe eWON supports accessing Tag values as float registers. The float is published with the IEEE representation and the value can be read on 2consecutive registers, with the first register starting at the user defined address.3.4.2.1.1.2 Modbus TCP rules• When accessing Modbus registers or coils that are not mapped to an eWON register, the returned value is 0.• Maximum number of registers readable in 1 request: 25• Maximum number of coils readable in 1 request: 2000RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 74

The server phonenumber depends on the GSM operator and the protocol used will be one of the 2 standard UCP or TAP protocol. A table with the SMS protocolsand server phone numbers is available on http://www.ewon.biz/DocSMS.htm.To introduce a pause in the number composition, use ‘+’ in the number.SPECIAL CASE FOR FRANCE USERS: as ucp and tap server is not available in France, the InfoZ protocol is available foreWONs embedding an analog modem. In that case the server phone number is 0. If a number has to be dialed to access thenetwork it can be entered before the 0.Example: if 9 must be dialed to leave PABX the syntax is 0407886633,ifz,90if a pause is required to leave the PABX, the syntax will be 0407886633,ifz,9+0See also www.infoz.fr for details about the InfoZ service.The syntax for SMS_RECIPIENT is:• DDDD,TTT,MMM,PPPOr• DDDD,TTT,MMMDDDDDestination phone numberProtocol type, must be one of the 4 following values:TTTMMMucptapgsmifzServer phone number, see your GSM provider or forexample:http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/PagerSettings.htmlIf the previous field is GSM or IFZ, the server must be set to"0"It is possible to add a word datasize and parityspecification.

Concerning the three last examples in the list, the last "," is not mandatory as there is no password.Important: Password is case sensitive.When defining a phone number with a modem the "," is often used to insert a pause during the dialing operation. As the eWON uses the coma asa separator, the pause dial sign is replaced by a +.For example the 0+0407886633 would dial a 0, then insert a 1 second pause, then dial 0407…The gsm protocol attribute can be used in order to send the SMS directly through the GSM network, not using an SMS server. In this case, thereis no server needed. This is valid only if the eWON embeds a GSM or GPRS modem.BENELUX only: SEMASCRIPTIt is possible to send Semascript/ SemaDigit to a Semaphone inside of the Benelux area, by using the Belgacom server.Example:You want to send a semadigit to number 0498373101...You must call the server at phone number 0458500001 (0+0458500001 if you must first dial a 0 and wait a pause)Keep only the last 7 digits of the semaphone destination number, and use TAP protocol with "7e1":sendsms "8373101,tap7e1,0458500001","0498373101"if eWON is behind a PABX and 0 must be dialed first use:sendsms "8373101,tap7e1,0+0458500001","0498373101"FRANCE only: ALPHAPAGEAs for SEMASCRIPT, it is possible to send ALPHAPAGE messages to ALPHAPAGE pagers in France, by using the emessage server: the serveris managed by a German firm called emessage, (http://www.emessage.de/en/index.html). As for the SEMASCRIPT users, the ALPHAPAGEusers have chosen to keep on using a pager, with which the broadcasting coverage is better than with the GSM network (the users are sure toreceive the message, that is not always the case with SMS).The used protocol is TAP. The operating mode is the same as for SEMASCRIPT:You want to send an ALPHAPAGE message to number 0612345678...You must call the server at phone number 0836601212 (0+0836601212 if you must first dial a 0 and wait a pause)Keep only the last 7 digits of the alphapage destination number, and use TAP protocol with "7e":sendms “2345678,tap7e,0836601212”if eWON is behind a PABX and 0 must be dialed first use:sendms “2345678,tap7e,0+0836601212”See also:The BASIC function SENDSMS and SENDMAIL in the “eWON Programming Manual”.3.4.2.2.3 FTP on alarm configurationAlarm action PropertiesPut FTP uponDestination file nameFile contentDescriptionChecks the alarm states triggering the Put FTP (ALM, ACK, RTN, END)Name of the file to create on the FTP server.

General Reference GuideeWON Configuration4 Configuring the eWON by a file uploadIt is possible to configure the eWON by uploading some files with an FTP client program.If you need to configure the eWON, you will put the config.bin file or the two config.txt and comcfg.txt files on the root directory of the eWON.You could also put the program.bas directly on the eWON. You can edit/modify the script Basic application in your favorite text editor, save as textfile with the name program.bas and upload it in the eWON.The files config.txt and comcfg.txt are interpreted by eWON. The eWON will use only the parameters that are known by it. In addition, you cansend a config.txt file containing only the parameters that you want to modify.For instance, if the Config.txt file only contains the following lines, only the eWON identification will be changed.:SystemIdentification:New_IdentificationThe config.txt file contains three sections: System, TagList and UserList. A section must only be declared if at least one field of that group ispresent in the file. A field must always appear after its section declaration.A section is declared on a separated line, preceded by a colon (See example above).Each user and Tag appears on a separated line, with its field separated by a semicolon.Example: the following config.txt file updates the eWON identification, defines a first user named "user1", a second user named "user2", and aTag named "tag1". Notice that for user1, the CBMode is not specified and takes the value 0 (Mandatory), while for user2, CBMode takes thevalue 1 (User Defined).:SystemIdentification:eWONInformation::TagList"Id";"Name";"Description";"ServerName";"Address";"tagvalue"1;"tag1";"first Tag";"MEM";"tag1";"47":UserList"Id";"FirstName";"LastName";"Login";"Password";"Information";"CBMode"1;"Jacques";"Dupond";"user1";"thePassword";"first user";2;"Albert";"Deux";"user2";"thePassword2";"second user";"1"When creating a Tag or a user, any field that is not specified will take the default value.

General Reference GuideIO Servers Configuration5 The eWON IO Servers5.1 IntroductionThis introduction repeats some information already introduced in chapter “Tag definition: Introduction” on page 67.An IO Server is the interface between a changing value and the eWON monitoring engine. It is a kind of driver. Any variable from any data sourcemust have a common representation for all IO Servers in order to define common interface in the eWON.The data-source representation in the eWON uses 3 fields for the definition of a Tag:• The IO Server Name• The Topic name• The Item NameA Tag’s data-source will be uniquely identified with these 3 parameters:IO Server name:Topic Name:Item Name:Is a kind of driver name. For each IO Server there is a specific Topic Name and Item Name syntax.Example: MODBUS, EWON, MEMIs used to group items inside an IO Server, for example the memory IO Server uses the blank topic("") and the retentive topic ("ret"). All Tags of the MEM IO Server defined in the "ret" topic will havetheir value saved and restored when the eWON boots.All IO servers do not use a Topic Name. In that case the Topic Name field must be left empty.The item name is a string of characters; its syntax is specific to each IO Server.The Item Name describes the physical variable to monitor that uses the IO Server.For example, the MODBUS IO Server needs to poll registers or coils from a slave, so it uses an item name representation todefine the register type, register address and slave address. (Example "40001,5" => Where 4 means "read write register",0001 is the register number and 5 is the slave Modbus address).Table 55: Tags data-source parametersImportant note: For optimisation purpose, the eWON may disable the polling of “invalid tags” (See “IO Server Init” on page 86).5.2 IO servers setupSome of the IO servers are configurable.The IO setup window proposes a list of IO servers:Figure 71: eWON IO servers scrolling listClick on the Edit hyper link or select another IO server to display its edition window.There are 3 possible cases regarding the IO server configuration:• The IO server is not configurable• The IO server has a dedicated configuration page (ex: MODBUS, UNITE, NETMPI, DF1, ...)• The IO server uses the standard IO server configuration page.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 85

General Reference GuideIO Servers Configuration5.3 Modbus IO server5.3.1 IntroductionThe MODBUS IO Server setup is the standard remote IO communication setup of the eWON. It is used to configure:• The eWON as a Modbus RTU master.• The eWON as a Modbus TCP slave and master.The first feature (Modbus TCP slave) is specific to the MODBUS IO server; it is actually designed to provide access to eWON Tag values and,unlike all the other IO servers, for interfacing field values with the eWON.The second feature (MODBUS Master) is the actual IO server feature that provides an interface to the field values as a common IO server.The eWON MODBUS IO server will give access to values in equipments having a MODBUS interface.The interface can be:• RS485 – MODBUS RTU protocol will be used• ETHERNET/PPP – MODBUS TCP protocol will be used.The eWON can mix access to MODBUS RTU and MODBUS TCP, depending on the way the Tag address is defined.5.3.2 Setup5.3.2.1 Setup for eWON ServerFigure 74: Modbus TCP Server configurationThis page defines the eWON configuration when used as a Modbus TCP slave.As described in the Tag configuration paragraph, each Tag can be published to Modbus TCP so that a Modbus TCP can read their values.This setup screen defines the eWON address, and globally enables or disables the Modbus TCP slave feature.eWON Server PropertieseWON server enabledModbus TCP Unit addressDescriptionGlobally enables or disables the Modbus TCP Server feature. If disabled, then any requestfrom a Modbus TCP master will be rejected, even if Tags are published.This feature is used by some gateway but can usually be left to 1 because Modbus TCPappears as a point to point connection.Table 56: eWON server configuration - eWON as Modbus TCP slave5.3.2.2 Setup for eWON IO server and Gateway - COM SetupFigure 75: Modbus communications configurationIf more than one Serial port are available, you must choose on which COM the modbus request will be sent.This configuration part defines the RS485 setup. The four first fields are used to define the baud rate, parity, number of stop bits and the replytimeout (in msec – usually 1000 msec).Warning: When there are multiple IO servers using potentially the serial line, then the unused IO server must be Cleared or thebaudrate must be set to Disabled.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 88

General Reference GuideIO Servers ConfigurationExample: if Modbus and UniTE IO servers are available, at least one of them must have its baud rate set to Disabled. If not the case,one of the IO servers will not be able to use the serial line and it will be disabled, with an error written in the event log.5.3.2.3 Topic configurationFigure 76: Modbus topics configurationThree topics can be used for the IO Server. These topics are used to give a common property to a group of MODBUS Tag like:• Enable/Disable• Poll rate• Slave address (Modbus RTU)• Unit address and TCP/IP address (Modbus TCP)Modbus Server PropertiesTopic enabledSlave addressPoll rateDescriptionEnables or disables polling of all the Tags in the topic.The slave address is a global parameter for all the Tags of the topic. If the slave is connectedwith Modbus RTU, Slave address must be entered and the IP address must be blank. If theslave is Modbus TCP, its unit address and its IP address must be entered.This defines the rate to which the Tag will be refreshed. In a complex application, we canimagine that some Tags must be refreshed every second – typically for digital input - andother every minute – typically: temperature-.Table 57: Modbus topic configurationWarning:Any slave address that is defined in the Topic configuration overwrites the slave address configured per Tag.If a Tag is defined with Tag Address: 40010,5 and the global address of the topic is 5 and 10.0.0.81, the Tag is entered as ModbusRTU but it is polled as Modbus TCP. So, if you need to address slaves Tag by Tag, let the topic address configuration empty.5.3.2.4 Advanced parametersFigure 77: Modbus advanced parameters configurationExtended parameters have been added to accommodate various special operating conditions. They are entered in the edit box at the bottom ofthe configuration page, conforming to the syntax below. Each parameter has a default value, so the advanced parameter edit box must only befilled with the parameters for which default values must be changed.

General Reference GuideIO Servers ConfigurationParameter namePreDelayFromPreDelayValDescriptionUsed in conjunction with the next parameter (PreDelayVal), starting at that slave address, the eWON willinsert a delay when switching from one slave address to another. If the PreDelayVal feature is not used,then the value for PreDelayFrom must be set to 256 (default value).Used to define the delay (in Msec) to be inserted before a request to a slave if a request was previouslysent to another slave address (not between 2 requests to the same slave).The PreDelayVal is placed only for slaves with an address higher than PreDelayFrom.ErrorRetry Defines the number of errors before the device enters in slow poll mode. (Minimum 1)SlowPollSkipGatewayIPCTimeoutPostErrorDelayDefines the number of times the slave is skipped when in slow poll mode. This delay depends on the pollrate.Maximum event lock while waiting for a response to a modbus gateway request from the modbus IOserver (router) (in Msec – minimum 1000).This delay (in Msec) is added each time a device responds with a framing error or a CRC error, in order tohelp the bus to perform its re synchronization (default value = 50).MaxDeltaCoilX (X= A,B,C) Maximum number of Coils that can be grouped in a request (per topic) max=256MaxDeltaRegX (X= A,B,C) Maximum number of registers that can be grouped in a request (per topic) max=124Table 58: extended IO server configuration controls5.3.2.4.1 Additional advanced parameters• gwdestaddrWhen the eWON is used as a Modbus gateway, it uses the UnitID from the ModbusTCP request to determine the Modbus RTU destinationaddress.It is possible to bypass this mechanism and force all the requests received by the eWON in ModbusTCP to be forwarded to a single ModbusRTUdevice (EXCEPT for requests with UnitID corresponding to the eWON's Modbus TCP Unit address (usually 100) when the eWON Server isenabled - see explanations about this precise point in the above configuration fields descriptions).Every request is forwarded to the device with Slave address defined by the Modbus IO server advanced parameter called gwdestaddr.If the advanced parameters textfield contains the following entry:gwdestaddr:10Then all therequests will be forwarded to the slave with address 10.REMARK: the eWON will change the address before sending the request to the slave, then it will change it back when sending the response tothe master (Modbus TCP master). So the gwdestaddr will never appear in any communication between the Master and the eWON.• FastSrvFastSrv is a mode which allows a supervisor to read in Modbus TCP more easily the Modbus tags published by the eWON.

The eWON will connect to the PLC’s MPI interface by means of the eLINKadapter.The eLINK adapter is an interface with an MPI interface on one side and an Ethernet TCP/IP interface on the other side.The eLINK interface will be configured with an IP that the eWON will use to poll data. In addition to the IP address, the eWON will need the MPIaddress of the PLC on the MPI bus.Using that eLINK interface, it is possible to poll different types of item in the PLC. These items types are described below.5.4.2 SetupFigure 78: NETMPI configuration windowAs for the Modbus and Unite protocols, it is possible to define topics, so that a single configuration can be applied to several Tags.5.4.3 Tag name conventionIO Server configurationIO Server NameNETMPIATopic NameBItem NameCValueName,RemoteStationAddress,eLinkIpAddressValueNamePLC Address is defined Tag by TagTopic PLC Address is usedTable 65: NETMPI - IO server configurationThe Item Name can contain the PLC address where the value is polled, or not.

The correctprotocol will depend on the topic that the Tag belongs to. UDP and TCP protocols can be mixed as well on the Ethernet interface.When the BaudRate in the FINS IO Server is set to a value different than "Disabled", the serial Hostlink Client will be enabled.The FINS IO Server can be configured in 3 modes:• Full Duplex mode (eWON serial link must be configured in RS232 mode) without HW handshaking• Full Duplex mode with HW handshaking• Half Duplex slave mode (RS485 mode)5.7.2 Setup5.7.2.1 Communication SetupThe following parameters can be modified:Figure 83: FINS IO server COM setupBaud Rate Disabled, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600ParityNone, Odd, EvenData Bits 7, 8Stop Bit(s) 1,2HW modeReplyTimeoutEthernet FINS networkEthernet FINS nodeFull Duplex no HW handshaking, Full Duplex HW handshaking, Half DuplexThe maximum time the eWON will wait for a valid FINS message response(applicable for ethernet and serial interface).Source Network Address (SNA) filled in a FINS request message originating fromthe eWON and sent out on the ethernet interface.Source Node Address (SA1) filled in a FINS request message originating from theeWON and sent out on the ethernet interface.

General Reference GuideIO Servers Configuration5.8 S5-AS511 IO Server5.8.1 IntroductionThis IO server is intended for use with Siemens S5 PLCs communicating via the front programming port using AS511 protocol.The AS511 protocol is specific for each Siemens device. This IO Server has been designed to operate with a set range for Siemens equipment.Use of the IO Server on devices other than those listed is not recommended and not supported.The Siemens S5 PLC family has a unique memory structure. Data within the PLC are not located at fixed locations within the PLC's memoryspace. This memory space is continuously updated and revised as you create and modify your PLC logic. When these revisions occur, thelocation of key data elements such as flags, timers, counters, I/O and data blocks can move around in the PLC's memory. The Siemens S5 IOServer has been designed to read the location of these memory elements when the driver first begins operation upon detecting a communicationerror or after a request (which is not a read or a write request) has been transmitted to the PLC. If you change your PLC configuration you mustrestart the Siemens S5 IO Server or simply unplug/re-plug the connection cable. Both actions will cause the Siemens S5 IO Server to reacquirethe location of all PLC memory elements.5.8.2 Setup5.8.3 Communication setupFigure 86: S5-AS511 IO server setup windowThe AS511 link uses a RS-232 Current Loop functioning mode.A specific cable (with electronic) is therefore required (Siemens S5 Cable : ACT’L ref EW40910)The communication parameters are fixed to the following values:• 9600 Baud (Fixed)• Even Parity (Fixed)• 8 Data Bits (Fixed)• 1 Stop Bit (Fixed)• Full duplex no handshaking (Fixed)5.8.3.1 Supported Devices• Siemens S5 - 90U• Siemens S5 - 95U• Siemens S5 - 100U - 100• Siemens S5 - 100U - 101• Siemens S5 - 100U - 103• Siemens S5 - 101U• Siemens S5 - 115U - 941• Siemens S5 - 115U - 942• Siemens S5 - 115U - 943• Siemens S5 - 115U - 944• Siemens S5 - 115U - 945Table 86: Siemens S5 devices supported by the eWON AS-511 IO serverRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 110

ERROR REPORT: the firsttime the pulse is rejected, an error is logged in the event log. Next errors are not logged (except in Real timelog if Debug is enabled); When sync are accepted again, a trace is logged in the event file for the firstaccepted synchonization.REM: Because the internal clock has a precision of 1 second, the time is only updated if the absolute valueof the offset is greater than 1 (2 or more). Otherwise the offset jitters between -1 and +1 all the time.Figure 90: Energy IO server parametersRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 119

General Reference GuideIO Servers Configuration5.11 MEM IO Server5.11.1 IntroductionThe MEMORY IO Server is not a real IO server because values do not come from a peripheral. Memory Tags (Tags defined with the MEM IOserver) are rather sorts of variables that can be modified by a user input or by a BASIC application. These Tags are very useful for combiningdifferent Tags and consider the result as an actual Tag i.e. having data logging capabilities and alarm management capabilities like for all otherTags.5.11.2 SetupThere is no setup for the MEM eWON IO server.5.11.3 Tag name conventionIO Server configurationIO Server NameTopic NameItem NameMEMRETDON’T CAREIf no topic is specified, the Tag is a standard memory Tag. Its value is set to 0when the eWON boots and the Tag is read/write, it can be updated throughuser actions with script or web pagesIf topic is set to RET, the Tag is retentive, each change is saved to flash andwhen the eWON boots, the last value of the Tag is restored. This feature canbe convenient to use Tags as parameters.The MEM "Item Name" is insignificant, the Tag name is automatically copiedin the MEM address by the eWON, the user can change it, but the value willimmediately be overwritten again by the Tag name.Table 98: MEM IO server Tag name conventionImportant: RET values are saved in the FLASH memory, this is not an immediate operation and the FLASH memory can only bewritten and erased a limited (even if huge 100.000) number of times. This means that you should not use a BASIC script forchanging retentive values at very high rate. 1 Tag/Sec. is a maximum AVERAGE rate (occasional higher rates are not prohibited atall).RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 124

General Reference GuideExport Block Descriptors8 Export Block DescriptorExports are used to export eWON data.Export block can be used in the following situations:• Attach the eWON data to an email• Include eWON data into an eMail content• Make an FTP PUT of eWON data from the eWON to a FTP server• Make an FTP GET from a FTP client out of the eWON FTP server• Include data in an eWON HTML custom page.• Access data in Basic with OPEN “exp:.....”In all these cases, an Export Block Descriptor will be used to describe the data to export.8.1 Export block descriptorAn Export Block Descriptor is a string of characters describing the eWON data to export with a precise syntax.Typically, the Export Block Descriptor will answer the following questions:• What eWON data to export (Event log, Historical logging, etc.)?• How to format the data to export (Binary, Text, Html table, Graphic)?• From what time?• To what time?• What Tag is concerned?• …?This list is NOT complete, and this information is not required for each type of data to export, but it gives an idea of what is described in an Exportblock descriptor.Example of Export blocks descriptor:$dtHL $ftT $st_m10 $et_0 $tnMyTag $fnData.csvThe export syntax is composed of a sequence of fields followed by its value. A field is a 3 characters identifier starting with $ and followed by 2lower cap letters (case sensitive).• The first letter of the parameter value follows immediately the second letter of the field.• The parameter is considered up to the first space found or until a $ or a [ is detected.• The parameter can also be placed between quotes ("). In that case the parameter value is the value between the quotes.The following fields are defined:Fields$dt$ft$st$et$tn$ut$ct$fl$fnDescriptionData typeExport formatStart timeEnd timeTag nameUpdate last timeCompression typeGroup filterFile nameTable 136: Export Block Descriptor fields descriptionRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 167

General Reference GuideExport Block Descriptors8.2 Export fields syntax definitionThe syntax for the different fields is defined in the following chapters.8.2.1 $dt [Data Type]The $dt field defines what data to export from the eWON. The $dt parameter is made up of 2 upper case letters (case sensitive) that can take oneof the following values:$dt Parameter Description Binary Graph Text HtmlAH Alarm history T* HAR Alarm Real time T* HCF Config B*ES estat file T HEV Event file T* HFW Firmware B*HL Historical Logging B* G T HHT Historical Table T* HIV Instant values B* TPG Program T*PP PPP dump file BRL Real time logging B* G T HSC Communications configuration file T HSE Script Expression B* T HSS Scheduled status T* HSV System Variable TTL Tag list T* HUF User file B* T HRE Real Time diagnostic T*TR TAR File B*Table 137: $dt parameters description(*) The asterisk in the previous table denotes the default value of the $ft (export format). For example, for the DataType HL (Historical Logging),the default export format will be B (Binary) if you do not specify a $ft in your Export Bloc Descriptor (using [$dtHL] is equivalent to [$dtHL $ftB]).8.2.2 $ft [Format]The $ft field defines how to format the data exported. The following formats are available:$ft ParameterBGTHFormat descriptionBinaryGraphTextHTML TableTable 138: $ft parameters description• Binary: the data are sent in a raw binary format, not modified by the export module.• Graph: the data are used to produce a PNG (Portable Network Graphic) image representing a graph of the values (historical trend orreal time graph).• Text: The data are formatted as a CSV file, this means that each record is represented with each field on a line separated by asemicolon (;). The string fields are written between quotes, each line is ending by a CRLF (0x0D, 0x0A) sequence.• Html: Instead of the text format, the data are placed in a simple HTML table. This format is useful for inserting data in the user customHTML pages.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 168

General Reference GuideExport Block Descriptors8.2.3 $st [Start Time] and $et [End Time]These 2 fields are used to limit the time range of an export operation. $st and $et provide the start and end time of the export. The parameterformat is the same for both fields. There are 3 different formats for the $st, $et parameter:• Relative time• Absolute time• From last $ut (see also “$ut [Update Time]” on page 170).8.2.3.1 $st, $et with relative timeSyntax:$st_([s]|[m]|[h]|[d])100 _ = back(h,m,s,d = Hour, min, sec, day. 100 is the amount)This represents a time regarding to the current time expressed in days, hour, minutes or seconds. If no letter is specified minutes are considered.Examples:$st_m10$et_0$st_d210 minutes in the past0 minutes in the past (= now)2 days in the past8.2.3.2 $st, $et with absolute timeSyntax:$stDDMMYYYY[[_HHMMSS][[_mmm][[_I][[_T]]]]]Table 139: $st with relative time examplesWhere:DDMMYYYYHHMMSSmmmITMeans Day, Month, Year, 8 characters. This parameter is required.Means Hour, Minute, Second, 6 characters. This parameter is optional (0 used by default)Means milliseconds (000 to 999) 3 characters. This parameter is optional but if present, HHMMSS must alsobe specified.Means intra sec counter. This value is present when receiving a historical logging from the eWON. It can bespecified in export request to allow precise repositioning in the historical file. This parameter is optional, but ifpresent, HHMMSS and mmm must also be specified.Means Tag id. As for I, this parameter is used for precise positioning in historical file. This parameter isoptional, but if specified, HHMMSS, mmm and I must be present also.Table 140: $st parametersWhen ALL the Tags are specified, the Tag values are output in chronological order. For the same time there can be 2 Tag values. In order toreposition correctly in the file, it is necessary to provide the last Tag output during a previous export.Examples:$st01012000_120000$st01012000_120000_0101 jan 2000 at 12 AM1 jan 2000 at 12 AM + 10 msecTable 141: $st with absolute time examples8.2.3.3 $st , $et with Last timeBy adding the $ut command in an Export Block Descriptor, you can ask the eWON to remember the time of the last point exported, this time canbe used for the next export.The last time is reset when the eWON boots.Syntax:$stLL is the time parameter meaning last time.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 169

General Reference GuideExport Block Descriptors8.2.4 $ut [Update Time]This field has no parameter, it means that at the end of this export, the time of the last point exported must be saved in the eWON so that it canbe used as a reference time for a later call.Example:$stL$et_0$utThis sequence will specify a time range from last time to current time AND will ask to update the last time at the end of the export.The last time is stored on a per Tag basis if one Tag is specified for the export. A global last time can also be saved if "ALL Tag" is specified in anexport.8.2.5 $tn [Tag Name]This field is used to specify a Tag name. It is required for graph commands. The parameter specified is the name of the Tag. When a $tn field canbe specified for an export and no $tn is given, then the command is executed for ALL the Tags.Example:$tnMyTag(MyTag is the name of the Tag)8.2.6 $ct [compression format]This field is only applicable when sending a file from the eWON to an FTP server, or as an attachment to an email.The compression format is gzip (http://www.gzip.org). So that the unique argument to add after the field "$ct" is "G".Example:Putftp "test2.txt.gz","[$dtUF $ctG $uf/test.txt]"Or:SENDMAIL "destinator@provider.net", "", "Subject", "Mail body &[$dtUF$uf/usr/test.txt $ctG $fn/test2.txt.gz]"Note:If you give to the destination file the ".gz" extension only (and not “.txt.gz” for example), the destination file will be correctly exported,but in this case you will have to indicate the extension when uncompressing (“.txt“ in the above case).You can then use a tool such as Winrar* to extract the file; it will be extracted in a folder named “test2.txt”.*You can download a free trial version of this tool at the following address: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm.8.2.7 $se [Script Expression]This field is only required for $dtSE export data. The $se parameter specifies the "script expression" to compute. Usually, the $se parameter willbe inserted between quotes because if a $ is found in the expression it will be considered as the end of parameters.Example:$dtSE $se"A$"(Exports the content of A$)RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 170

General Reference GuideExport Block Descriptors8.3 Data Types description and syntaxA Data type defines what is exported from the eWON. The data type is defined by the $dt field followed by 2 uppercase letters. The $dt field ismandatory for each "Export Block Descriptor" and usually the $ft (Format) field will also be present to define the output format of your data(although a default format is defined for each data type).For each Data type, a set of other fields must be provided (some are mandatory and others are optional).Note:If you specify an unused field (neither mandatory nor optional), it will then be ignored.This section will describe the syntax for each data type with the specific features for each of them.8.3.1 $dtHL [Historical Logging]8.3.1.1 Export contentThe Historical logging outputs the data from the File system for ONE or ALL the fields.

General Reference GuideUpgrading the eWON firmware9 Upgrading the eWON firmware9.1 PurposeThere are two ways to upgrade the eWON firmware: by using eBuddy, the eWON utility designed to set up the eWON, or by directly uploading anew firmware on the eWON by means of a FTP client.9.2 Upgrading the eWON firmware with eBuddyeBuddy allows you to update your eWONs with the latest firmware versions that are available for download from the eWON web site.eBuddy downloads the firmwares and it stocks them in a folder on the local machine.When you use the Update Firmware feature, eBuddy compares the firmware on the selected eWON with the latest firmwares, and it proposes toyou to upgrade your eWON with one of the stored and up-to-date firmwares.That means you first have to update eBuddy itself prior to upgrade the eWON firmware (please refer to the “eBuddy User Guide” you candownload from Support/Documentation/User guides on http://www.ewon.biz).The second link in the eBuddy Wizard home page is used if you want to update the firmware from one of the eWONs on your network. Click onthe link to launch the wizard:Select an eWON, either by entering directly its serial number or by choosing it in the Select an eWON dialog box; enter the login and password forthe eWON, then click on Next in the Update Firmware Wizard.Select the firmware Language and Version you want to apply, then click Next.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 192

General Reference GuideUpgrading the eWON firmware• Simply drag the new firmware to be uploaded (from your local hard disk or from another FTP folder) and drop it to the root of theeWON file system (here the window is named "10.0.120.11"). A confirm window will appear asking you the action to be performed.Figure 139: eWON firmware overwrite confirmation window• Click on the Overwrite button and wait the fill in (blue) of the progress bar in the left bottom side of the window.Figure 140: eWON upload firmware action• Click on the “Disconnect” icon to exit the connection to the eWON and quit the SmartFTP program.WARNING:When you click on the “Disconnect” icon, the eWON begins a flash memory programming operation (about one minute long).Do NOT power off the eWON during this operation. If you have a look at the eWON STATUS led, it will be blinking red about once asecond. When it finishes blinking, the eWON will reboot. The reboot operation can be observed on the Ethernet link led, going offand then back on again.Please do NOT remove power until you can get access to the eWON using your web browser of FTP browser. Failure to do so canlead to the destruction of the eWON and a factory return would be unavoidable.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 196

General Reference GuideUpgrading the eWON firmware9.4 Downgrade firmware9.4.1 Firmware prior to 5On firmware version prior to 5.x, the downgrade procedure is the same as the upgrade procedure :- use the “ewonfwr.edf” of the target firmware and copy it on the eWON root directory by FTP.Note: After a downgrade, it is recommended to format completely your eWON.9.4.2 Firmware version 5.x (and above)On firmware version 5.x (and above), to downgrade your eWON:- the firmware file “ewonfwr.edf” need to be renamed in “dewonfwr.edf” (note the leading ‘d’)- copy this dewonfwr.edf on the eWON root directory by FTP.Note: You need to rename the ewonfwr.edf file only for downgrading !Service release firmware versions are not considered as downgrade.Examples:5.0 is lower than 5.15.0 S4 is not lower thant 5.0 S7 (Service release on the same firmware version 5.0)4.3 is lower than 5.0The download operation is slightly diffrent: when the flashing operation starts, the led will first flash red – green – off repetitively, then the normalflashing sequence with red flash will start.The first operation consists in a complete memory erasure.Important : This downgrade erases ALL eWON configuration files (comcfg.txt too) !The eWON IP address return to 10.0.0.53 and modem parameters return to default.Never do a downgrade from a 5.x firmware version remotely !So please backup the txt config version, comcfg, and /usr data before downgrading.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 197

This kind of file has 2 sizes, the standard size and the maximum size. When themaximum size is reached, the oldest 64K of data are erased and new data starts to be written. This means that the actual size ofdata that has to be considered for a circular file is the standard size, because the maximum size is not permanent.Formatting the Flash file system means erasing all the data in these files.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 199

General Reference GuideAppendix10.2.2 Non-volatile configurationThere are 2 additional blocks of flash memory used for:• Non-volatile COM configuration: this block contains the "System COM" setup.• Retentive values:Each time a retentive value changes, a record is written in flash, the record is 12 bytes long.This file is also erased when the flash file system is formatted.The flash memory can be erased/written minimum 100K timesEach time a retentive value is written, its record is read back and content is verified, in case of error, error code “Write retentive failed”,code 20517 is generated, it indicates that flash is probably dead.10.3 Tips for Internet setup10.3.1 Finding the IP address of a given hostThe eWON does provide DNS (Domain Name Server) resolution. But, sometimes, it’s faster to access Internet nodes by its IP address.In order to find the address corresponding to a given name, you can use the ping –a NodeName command. This command will returnmiscellaneous information including the IP address of NodeName that you need.Example:C:\>ping -a microsoft.comPinging microsoft.com [207.46.197.101] with 32 bytes of data:Destination host unreachable.Destination host unreachable.Destination host unreachable.Destination host unreachable.Ping statistics for 207.46.197.101:Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0msThe microsoft.com IP address reported is 207.46.197.101 for this example.10.4 Finding your PC IP addressUnder Windows 95/98, the WINIPCFG command (executed from a command prompt or from the START/RUN menu) will return your Ethernetand PPP adapter IP address. If not currently connected through PPP, the PPP IP address is N/A.WINIPCFG DOS command does not exist anymore on Millennium, Windows NT, 2000 and XP systems.The IPCONFIG command can be used instead. This command must be executed from a command prompt and displays as text the IP address ofall the TCP/IP adapters that are detected.Example:C:\>ipconfigWindows 2000 IP ConfigurationEthernet adapter Local Area Connection:Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.11Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 200

General Reference GuideAppendix10.5 Resetting the eWON10.5.1 OverviewIn some situation it may be desired or required to initialize the eWON.The eWON has a non volatile memory which is used to store configurations and acquired data. Non volatile information is basically divided into 2groups:• Communication configuration• The rest of the non volatile data (file system, Tag Config, user defined web site, etc.)The reset button is located between the SERIAL and LINE connectors. A very small hole is located in the box; you will need a thin tool like apaper clip to push the button.The button must be pressed while the eWON is powered up. The button must be maintained until correct initialization level has been reached(see below):User ledReset hole10.5.2 Reset sequenceFigure 141: eWON - reset hole and "USER" ledThere are 2 initialization levels:• The first level (the more usual) will force a format of the eWON.• The second level will reset the eWON in a state corresponding to the "out of the box" configuration. By doing this you will alsoperform a thorough self test of the eWON.10.5.2.1 First level resetWhen the eWON boots with the reset button pressed, after 4 seconds, the "USER" led will start blinking in red at a 1 flash per second rate. Assoon as the led starts blinking at that rate, release the switch. The Format request will be set. The blinking will continue during 15 seconds, sothere is no need to hurry, but you must release the switch before the 15 seconds elapse.10.5.2.2 Second level resetIf the reset button is maintained for more than 15 seconds after blinking starts, the "USER" led will stop blinking and will become solid red, at thatmoment the "Out of the box reset" is registered, the reset button can be released and all the data of the eWON will be erased, including itscommunication, IP address,… parameters.The eWON configuration tool eBuddy will be required to define your eWON working IP address.Note: if you have waited too long and the "USER" led becomes "solid red" while you only needed to format the eWON, the only solution is to keepthe reset button pressed and remove the eWON power, this will avoid entering the "Full Erase" procedure.10.5.3 Second level initialization diagnosticsWhen the second level initialization is requested, the eWON will also perform a self test. When the initialization ends, the test result is displayedvia the "USER" led. If the test is successful, the following pattern will be displayed on the led.The led will flash for 200msec every 1.5 seconds. The pattern is repeated indefinitely until the eWON is manually rebooted (Power OFF/PowerON).RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 201

General Reference GuideAppendixIf an error is detected during the test, the led will show the error code with the following pattern:1 sec.Error pattern for code = 2This example shows the case where error code is 2. The pattern is repeated indefinitely until the eWON is manually rebooted (power OFF/PowerON).The pattern starts with a short blink of 200msec indicating the pattern start, then N blinks, each during 1 second are displayed. Then the patternis repeated, etc.The number of 1 second blinks is defined by the type of error detected:Number of blinksError meaning10.5.4 Entering level 2 initialization without requestThe eWON may enter level 2 test without request in the following case:• If the IO CPU is not responding at boot timeIn that special case you may detect the typical led blinking of the level 2 initialization, without having requested that mode.10.5.5 What to do in case of error?If an error is detected during the self test, run the test again to confirm the result. If test error persists, then contact the factory for return and repairprocedure.10.5.6 Important remark1 RAM Test error2 Flash erase error3 Flash write error4 Real Time Clock error5 Flash identification failed6 IO CPU not respondingTable 186: eWON USER led blinks meaningWhen performing a level 2 self test, it is important to let the test run until the end, if you stop the test before the end, the flash memory may containrandom data that may cause unexpected operation of the eWON when it will start.For this reason, a self test must always be continued until the "USER" led displays the test result.In case if trouble you can perform the level 2 initialization again to return to a normal situation.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 202

General Reference GuideAppendix10.7 Duplicate IP detection (User Led blinking Red)Since firmware 4.3, eWON performs a check on the IP network in order to avoid duplicate IP.eWON makes this test at power up to see if its IP address is not conflicting with another device.If eWON is configured with the same IP address than another device, eWON will not start and the USER LED blinks continuouslywith the following pattern:short red light + pause + long red light + pauseResolution:1) Isolate your eWON from the conflicting deviceThe best way is to use a direct crossed IP cable to directly link your PC with the eWON (without a hub)2) Reboot the eWON3) Change the eWON IP address (with eBuddy, you can download from http://www.ewon.biz Support/Download Software)When eWON is blocked, the duplicate IP test is made again every 10 minutes. If the conflicting device is not present anymore, theneWON will start normally.10.8 Rockwell compatibility matrixThis document lists the compatibility matrix between eWON and the Rockwell- Allen Bradley PLC family.PLC Name/Type EIP DF1eWONVersionCommentsIO ServerNamePLC5 x x Rev 5.1 DF1SLC500 x x DF1MicroLogix x x DF1CompactLogix x x Rev 5.3 DF1 only since Rev 5.3 ABLOGIXControlLogix x x Rev 5.3 DF1 only since Rev 5.3 ABLOGIXFlexLogix x x Rev 5.3 DF1 only since Rev 5.3 ABLOGIXTable 188: Rockwell compatibility matrixRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 204

General Reference GuideAppendix10.9 GSM modem Led behaviorFigure 142: GSM level display on ledThe modem led default behavior is to go solid red while PPP Is established and off otherwise.If this option is selected, the modem led will display the signal level as described here:The led must display 2 informations:• if the modem is connected.• the signal reception level.The representation uses an 8 seconds pattern, the first 4 seconds display the signal level and the last 4 seconds the connection state.Signal level: the signal level is displayed 4 times. The led goes on between 100msec to 900msec according to the signal level. Then the blink isrepeated 3 more times.Connection state: for the last 4 seconds, the led is ON if connection is established (PPP connection established). The led is OFF if there is noongoing connection.REM: the signal level displayed here is a rough indication, the exact level can be read from the modem configuration page in the eWON.ConnectedLow signal levelConnectedHigh signal levelDisconnectedHigh signal levelTable 189: GSM Level display patternsRG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 205
