FUNCTION MODES:

The device has got two function modes depending on the position of the ‘Dip2 of Dip-Switch A’:
The first, with ‘Dip2 of Dip-Switch A’ at “OFF” position, is used for the normal working of the device.
The second, with ‘Dip2 of Dip-Switch A’ at “ON” position, is used for uploading the Project and/or Firmware.

For the operations to follow for the updating, see ‘UPDATE DEVICE’ section.

According to the functioning mode, the LEDs will have specific functions, see ‘LEDS’ section.

Warning:
Dip1 of ‘Dip-Switch A’ must be at ON position to work even if the Ethernet cable is not inserted.

This section defines the fundamental communication parameters of two Buses, Serial and Modbus.

By pressing the “Set Communication” button from the main window for SW67501 (Fig. 2) the window “Set
communication” appears (Fig. 3).

This window is divided in two sections, one to configure the Serial Network and the other for Modbus.

The means for the fields for the “Serial” are:

In the field “Serial” the type of serial port used is defined;
In the field “Baudrate” the baud rate for the Serial side is defined;
In the field “Parity” the parity for the Serial side is defined;
In the field “Data Bits” the number of Data Bits for the Serial side is defined;
If the field “Send Type” the transmission type is defined:
o “End Character”: the end of the string is defined by a specific chars defined in the field “End
Character”;
o “Num Bytes on Control Word”: the serial string will have the length specified in the Control Word;
o “Fix Num Bytes”: the serial string will have fixed length defined in the field “Num Bytes to
Send”;
In the field “TimeOut Data RX” the timeout on the serial reception is defined. If the string is not
received in the defined time, the data on Modbus will be put to 0. It is possible to set this field to ‘0’ to
disable this function.

Note:
If Data Bits is set to ‘7’ and Parity is set to ‘NONE’, the number of Stop Bits will be fixed to ‘2’. In all
others cases, the number of Stop Bits is fixed to ‘1’.

UPDATE DEVICE:

By pressing the “Update Device” button, it is possible to load the created Configuration into the device; and also the Firmware, if necessary.

If you don’t know the actual IP address of the device you have to use this procedure:
Turn OFF the Device;
Put Dip2 of ‘Dip-Switch A’ in ON position;
Turn ON the device
Connect the Ethernet cable;
Insert the IP “192.168.2.205”;
Select which operations you want to do;
Press the “Execute update firmware” button to start the upload;
When all the operations are “OK” turn OFF the Device;
Put Dip2 of ‘Dip-Switch A’ in OFF position;
Turn ON the device.

If you know the actual IP address of the device, you have to use this procedure:
Turn ON the Device with the Ethernet cable inserted;
Insert the actual IP of the Converter;
Select which operations you want to do;
Press the “Execute update firmware” button to start the upload;
When all the operations are “OK” the device automatically goes at Normal Mode.

At this point the configuration/firmware on the device is correctly updated. Figure 4: “Update Device” windows

Note:
When you install a new version of the software, if it is the first time it is better you do the update of the Firmware in the HD67501
device.

Note:
When you receive the device, for the first time, you also have to update the Firmware in the HD67501 device.

Warning:
If Fig. 5 appears when you try to do the Update try these points before seeking
assistance:
Try to repeat the operations for the updating;
Try with another PC;
Try to restart the PC;
Check the LAN settings;
If you are using the program inside a Virtual Machine, try to use in the main Operating
System; Figure 5: “Protection” window
If you are using Windows Seven, Vista, 8 and 10 make sure that you have the administrator privileges;
In case you have to program more than one device, using the "UDP Update", you have to cancel the ARP table every time you connect a
new device on Ethernet. For do this you have to launch the "Command Prompt" and write the command "arp -d". Pay attention that with
Windows Vista, Seven, 8 you have to launch the "Command Prompt" with Administrator Rights;
Pay attention at Firewall lock.

In the case of HD67501 you have to use the software “SW67501”: www.adfweb.com\download\filefold\SW67501.zip.
