Public

Issue:
Configuration of an EGX150 to a 66061 JBUS/Modbus card

Product line:
All products that supported by the 66061 JBUS/Modbus card

Environment:
Galaxy 3000, Galaxy 4000, Galaxy 5000, STS, Galaxy PW

Cause:
Instruction on 66061 configuration, EGX150 configuration and wiring.

Resolution:

66061 JBUS/Modbus Card (Galaxy 3/4/5k, PW and Epsilon STS)

Configure the slide witches on the 66061 board first.
1. SA1 switches should be set to “ON” position which places the card in program mode.
2. SA2 switch need to be programmed per wiring configuration
  1. 2-wire without polarity and termination (only one device attached to the EGX or last device in the line)
    1. Switches 3, 4 and 5 set to “ON” position
  2. 2-wire without polarity and without termination (more than one device and not the last in line)
    1. Switches 4 and 5 to “ON” position
Communication port configuration:
1. Connect to the RS232 communication port which is the one next to the green LED or on the right when reading the card part number 66061 (when installed in some UPSs the card is upside down).
2. Open a terminal program like HyperTerminal and enter a name for the new connection.
  1. Select correct communication port on your laptop.
  2. Change port settings to the following:
    1. Baud rate: 9600
    2. Data bits: 7
    3. Parity: Even
    4. Stop bits: 1
    5. Flow control: None
    6. Click OK when done
  3. Using a pencil, Pen or small tool press and hold down the reset button for 6 to 7 seconds until the green LED starts to blink again.
  4. Back in HyperTerminal press the “Return” key a few times until you see CDE->
  5. Below are the commands available
    1. Display current configuration: L
    2. Set Baud rate: V
    3. Parity settings: P (enter 0 for None and 2 for Even)
    4. Slave number setting: E

1. 1. For EGX you only need to change the baud rate and slave address.
    1. Press “L” and then press the enter key to verify current configuration
    2. Verify that the Parity is set to “None” (without parity). If not set to “None” use the “P” command described above to change it to “None”.
    3. Press “V” and press the enter key, Enter9600 for baud rate then press enter key
    4. Press “E” and enter slave address 20 (hexadecimal value) which the card will display 32 (decimal value).
    5. Press “L” and then press the enter key to verify configuration is correct 9600, none and slave address 32 decimal.
    6. Exit HyperTerminal and press the reset button on the 66061 for a second or two to reset the card.
    7. Configuration of the 66061 is completed
2. PUTTY configuration as HyperTerminal is no longer part of Windows.
  1. Click on Serial under Connection – at the bottom of screen.
  2. Change port settings to the following:
    1. Serial line to connect to: Type in you comport
    2. Speed (baud): 9600
    3. Data bits: 7
    4. Stop bits: 1
    5. Parity: Even
    6. Flow control: None
  3. Next click on Session at the top of the screen.
    1. Click on Serial which Serial line and Speed should be populated automatically.
    2. I suggest entering a name under Saved Sessions and click on Save so you can load for future use.
    3. Click on Open button and a new screen should appear like a normal terminal program.
  4. Using a pencil or small device, press and hold down the reset button for 6 to 7 seconds until the green LED starts to blink again.
  5. Back in HyperTerminal press the “Return” key a few times until you see CDE->
  6. Below are the commands available
    1. Display current configuration: L
    2. Set Baud rate: V
    3. Parity settings: P (enter 0 for None and 2 for Even)
    4. Slave number setting: E
  7. See the second above “vi For EGX you only need to change the baud rate and slave address.” On how to program the JBUS/Modbus card.
Wiring
1. EGX150 RJ45 pin 4 goes to pin 5 on the 66061 and EGX150 pin 5 goes to pin 9 on the 66061.
