Xi and CSVision – Ethernet TCP/IP and Modbus TCP Interface-Kit

The Optris Ethernet TCP/IP / Modbus TCP interface integrates autonomous Optris Xi series infrared cameras and CSVision pyrometers into industrial automation systems. It enables data transmission over Ethernet networks using TCP/IP and supports Modbus TCP for communication between devices like controllers and data acquisition systems. This interface enhances temperature monitoring flexibility, facilitating real-time data acquisition, analysis, and integration, ensuring precise temperature control and operational efficiency.

Do I need addition cables?

The connection Xi camera to interface box must be done via a I/O/ RS485 cable (ACXIIOCB1). The connection CSvision to interface box must be done via the sensor cable (ACCSVICB3C). Other cable lengths can be ordered separately.

How do I reset the interface?

The interface must be switched off. Press the SW button on the board and switch the box on in the meantime. The LED flashes red. Release the button the fifth time it flashes. The LED flashes green 5 times as confirmation.

What are the default settings?

The following settings are stored as default: IP-Mode: Static, IP address: 192.168.0.1, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, Port Modbus: 502, Port Config data: 55001, Port direct device: 55002.

Can I connect multiple devices to the same network?

Yes, but each of the devices must get an own IP address but they must be in the same subnet.

How do I start to work with the interface?

For the communication, three different examples are supplied: a fully developed C# script with example code as window batch files, an Excel sheet with macros for the TCP/IP communication, and a Modbus communication tool for the Modbus TCP protocol.

Which connector is used?

The industrial interface has a 4-pin, M12, D-coded connector.

Where are the network settings stored?

The network settings are stored on the board, which communicates with the Optris devices via the serial interface. The network settings remain on the board when the Optris devices are exchanged.

How to distinguish between network interfaces?

All Network interfaces for Optris Xi ETH series and CSvision have the same hardware, to distinguish between different industrial interfaces the different times flashing of the I4 LED must be considered after powering the interface.
1 x flashing means Ethernet TCP/IP / Modbus TCP
2 x flashing means EtherNet/IP
3 x flashing means Profinet
