EasyLogXL - Quick start 1 Cabling and connection The wiring and installation of EasyLogXL are very simple. This guide briefly illustrates how to make electrical connections and settings for initial access. 1.1 SD Card EasyLogXL stores the data in a standard "SD card". Insert the SD card with the connectors face toward the silk-screen printed part, as shown in Fig.1. The connector is a push-push type: to insert the card, press it until a click is felt. To remove the SD card, press lightly; by clicking, the card will lift a bit and it can be withdrawn. We always recommend the use of industrial-grade SD cards. 1.2 Serial If you use the serial port to read data from ModBus RTU devices, connect the RS485 wires as shown in Fig.2. 1.3 Ethernet If you are using an Ethernet connection to read data from ModBus TCP devices, insert the jack of the Ethernet cable into the appropriate RJ connector of the EasyLogXL, as shown in Fig.3. 1.4 Power Supply Connect EasyLogXL to a 10-32Vdc power supply as in Fig.4. It is recommended to respect polarity. Fig.4 Power supply terminal 2. Access and configuration EasyLogXL has an integrated WEB server, therefore it is configured using a standard browser. To access the configuration pages, enter the EasyLogXL IP address from the browser of your PC, tablet or smart phone. The device you connect from must be within the same network as EasyLogXL (Par. 2.1). Fig.5 IP address verification on your PC 2.1 Networ IP address The default IP address of EasyLogXL is 192.168.1.100. If your network is of the same IP class: 192.168.1 ..., go to paragraph 2.3, otherwise follow the instructions from point 2.2 to set the correct IP address. To identify the IP class of your network, run the IPCONFIG command from the command prompt. In Fig.5, the IP address of the PC is 192.168.1.5. It belongs to the same class / network as EasyLogXL, since the firsts 3 numbers (192, 168 and 1) are the same. It is therefore possible to reach EasyLogXL from the PC browser.

If the network is NOT in the 192.168.1 class, you can proceed in 2 ways: 1. Set up EasyLogXL to work in DHCP (see paragraph 2.2); 2. Set a valid IP on EasyLogXL (see chapter 5 EasyLogXL manual available on the website www.4next.eu) 2.2 DHCP settings To set up DHCP set DIP SWITCH in the following way: 1 =ON 2 =OFF Possible configuration set up: DIP-SWITCH 1 OFF Meaning It uses the previously saved configuration. Original configuration is 192.168.1.100. It activates DHCP and ignores saved configuration. It uses fixed IP 192.168.1.100 and ignores saved configuration. Fig. 6 Example DIP-SWITCH OFF...
