DeviceMaster UP EtherNet/IP Quick Start: 2000478 Rev. D Overview - 5
Overview
This Quick Start is intended to help you quickly set-up serial or Ethernet devices. with the DeviceMaster UP
and EtherNet/IP, for example:
• Read-only devices such as barcode scanners and some RFID readers
• Read/write devices such as printers and some weigh scales
Installation Overview
Use the following steps to install the DeviceMaster UP.
1. C ONNECT THE D EVICE M ASTER UP to the network.
2. I NSTALL P ORT V ISION DX from the CD or download and install the latest version.
3. C ONFIGURE THE D EVICE M ASTER UP network settings using PortVision DX.
4. Depending on the DeviceMaster UP model, do the following:
• Models without EtherNet/IP loaded, you must install the software assembly (.msi) from the CD or
download and install the latest file, which contains the EtherNet/IP firmware and supporting files
required for Step 5.
• Models with EtherNet/IP loaded on the DeviceMaster UP, you should check to see if a later version of
EtherNet/IP is available for installation. Check the EtherNet/IP version in PortVision DX against the
web site to see if a later version is available. Typically, you should download and install the latest .msi
file and upload the latest version, which may include updates or enhancements.
Note: Models that have EtherNet/IP loaded on the DeviceMaster UP are identified in PortVision DX and
the DeviceMaster UP is labeled accordingly.
5. I F NECESSARY , UPLOAD the EtherNet/IP firmware into the DeviceMaster UP using PortVision DX.
6. Configure the serial or Ethernet TCP/IP socket port characteristics using the DeviceMaster UP embedded
web page (Server Configuration).
If you have Read-only or read/write devices, you can use the appropriate procedures for your device,
which are located in this Quick Start:
• Read-only devices (barcode scanners and some RFID readers), go to Configuring Read-Only Serial
Devices on Page 9or Configuring Read-Only Ethernet TCP/IP Devices on Page 13.
• Read/write devices (printers and some weigh scales), first perform the appropriate procedure for a
read-only device and then go to
Configuring Read/Write Devices on Page 19.
Optionally, the E THER N ET /IP U SER G UIDE provides detailed information about each web page discussed in
this Quick Start.
You may want to reference the P ROGRAMMING I NTERFACE chapter in the DeviceMaster UP EtherNet/IP
User Guide.
7. Optionally, reference the EXAMPLE PLC PROGRAMS in the DeviceMaster UP EtherNet/IP User Guide.
8. C ONNECT any serial device or devices.
9. Verify any Ethernet TCP/IP devices are connected to the same subnet as the DeviceMaster UP.
