2.2 Ethernet base mINT-IO introduction

mINT-IO Ethernet-based data acquisition and control modules provide I/O, data
acquisitions, and networking to build a cost effective, distributed monitoring and
control solution for a wide variety of applications. Through standard Ethernet
networking, mINT-IO retrieves I/O values from sensors, and can publish them as a
real-time I/O values to networking nodes via LAN. With Ethernet enabled technology,
mINT-IO series modules build up a cost-effective DA&C system for Building
Automation, Environmental Monitoring, Facility Management and Manufacturing
applications..

2.2.1 Ethernet-enabled DA&C I/O Modules

mINT IO is based on popular Ethernet networking standards used in most business
environments. Users can easily add mINT I/O modules to existing Ethernet
networks, or use mINT-IO modules in new Ethernet-enabled eManufacturing
networks. mINT IO modules feature a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet chip and support
industrial popular Modbus/TCP protocols over TCP/IP for data connection. mINT IO
also supports UDP protocol over Ethernet networking. With UDP/IP, mINT-IO
modules can send its IP address to client. Through Ethernet networking,
HMI/SCADA systems, and controllers, users can access or gather real-time data
from mINT IO Ethernet enabled DA&C modules. This data can then be integrated
with business systems to compile valuable business information.
2.2.2 Intelligent I/O Modules
Upgraded from traditional I/O modules, the mINT IO series have prebuilt intelligent
mathematic functions to empower system capacity. The Digital Input modules
provide 32-bit Counter functions; the Digital Output modules provide pulse output,
the Analog Input/Output modules provide the highly accurate data ;
2.2.3 Industrial Standard Modbus/TCP Protocol
mINT-IO modules support the popular industrial standard, Modbus/ TCP protocol, to
connect with Ethernet Controller or HMI/SCADA software built with Modbus/TCP
driver.
2.2.4 Customized Web Page
The Ethernet enabled mINT IO has built in web pages. These are used for checking
the configuration and dynamic data, and for changing configuration. To view this web
page, standard web browser is needed.
To view this default web page, start browser and type “192.168.100.110” in to
address lone of the browser window. The main page will now be displayed in
browser window.

mINT – IO

REF NO: m25A/om/201

Issue No: 03

If no webpage is displayed, go back to testing the network connection to the mINT IO

by using the ping command. If the mINT IO replies to the ping messages, check the
setup of the web browser. If it is directly connected to the same network as the PC,”
Direct connection to the network” or “by pass proxy server for local addresses”
should be selected in the web browser configuration menu. If the IO is connected to
the PC through a firewall, a proxy server should be selected in the configuration
menu. Contact the local network administrator for information about the network
configuration.
This page allows you to change the IP address of the mINT IO, Default Gateway,
and Subnet Mask, manually as well as DHCP/auto.
IP Address: The new IP address can be entered into the web page as shown above.
After this has been done, you must click the Submit button to send the values to the
MINT IO. The screen will now be updated and if successful will continue to display
the new IP address. If the IP address has been entered incorrectly and the power
has not been switched off, it is possible to re-enter the correct IP address. If the
power has been switched off and back on again, the Ethernet enabled MINT IO will
not communicate until you enter the new IP address into the address line of the
browser window.
Default Gateway IP Address: A default gateway is a node (a router) on a computer
network that serves as an access point to another network. In enterprises, however,
the gateway is the computer that routes the traffic from a PC to the outside network
that is serving the Web pages. It is only necessary to configure the default gateway
IP address if the PC that is accessing the Ethernet enabled MINT IO is on a different
network.
Subnet Mask: In computer networks, a subnet work or subnet is a range of logical
addresses within the address space that is assigned to an organization. The subnet
mask is used to inform the MINT IO that it must send its replies to the gateway if the

Page | 9
 mINT – IO

REF NO: m25A/om/201

Issue No: 03

IP address of the PC is on a different network. When the subnet mask is set to

“0.0.0.0” then it is effectively disabled and the default gateway is not used. A typical
subnet mask would be “255.255.255.0”.
Restore factory defaults option is will restore all the IP, gateway and subnet mask
to their default value.
2.2.5 Configuration
Ethernet enabled Mint-io module configuration is done by mint-plus configuration
software by using RS485 port com-1. Refer to the section in the mint-plus
configuration software guide. The configuration of the IP Address is done using the
web browser or IP address configuration software.

4.1.5 Input Processing – Filtration

4.1.5.1 Latch High:
If the channel is in the OFF state and then the ON signal is received, the ON state
will be latched. This state continues until it is forced OFF by user
4.1.5.2 Latch Low:
If the channel is in the ON state and then the OFF signal is received, the OFF state
will be latched. This state continues until it is forced OFF by user.
4.1.5.3 Counter Registers:
The counter registers display two 16 bit registers. The first register is the High
Register and the second register is the Low Register. To get the actual 42 bit count
value the registers must be combined as follows:
Counter High Value = Register 40001.
Counter Low Value = Register 40002.
Counter Value = (Counter High Value X 65535) + Counter Low Value.

4.1.5.4 Counter Capture:

To capture a counter a BIT value must be written to the corresponding channel
number in the Counter Capture Register 40065.
For example: Writing 1 to BIT1 of Register 40065 results in Counter 1 value being
captured to Counter Capture 1. Writing 1 to BIT2 of Register 40065 results in
Counter 2 value being captured to Counter Capture 2. Writing 1 to BIT3 of Register
40065 results in Counter 3 value being captured to Counter Capture 3. etc.
4.1.5.5 Capture Counter Registers:
Capture counter registers display counter values which are stored in non volatile
memory.
4.1.5.6 Counter Zero:
Initial value of counter during power ON condition is controlled by counter zero
registers. To ensure that a counter initial value is zero, a 1 must be written to the
corresponding bit position in the Capture Zero Register 40070 otherwise initial value
of counter is value of capture counter registers which is stored in non volatile
memory.
For example: Writing 1 to BIT1 of Register 40070 results in Counter 1 starts
counting from zero value on power ON module.
Writing 1 to BIT2 of Register 40070 results in Counter 2 starts counting from zero
value on power ON module, etc.
Writing 0 to respective BIT position means particular counter starting from captured
value.
The value in the Capture Zero Register 40070 is permanently stored in Memory and
only has to be configured once.

4.1.5.7 Filter Time (ms):

The Filter Time is the length of time that a newly changed input to some channel
should last for before it is accepted as a valid input.
It is used to eliminate input noise. If the filter time is zero then there is no filter on this
channel. Maximum writable frequency is 65535 mSec.
The factory default value is “0ms”.

Flowchart:

4.1.5.8 Debounce Time (ms):

Debouncing can be applied for all input functions and prevents the processing of fast
input state changes, like those caused by contact bouncing. Signal changes are
ignored according to the filter type and time applied. This filter time values range
from 0 ...65535 milliseconds; a 0 value deactivates Debounce filtering. The selection
of Debounce filter time write registers 40067.

4.1.5.9 Chatter Mode Count:

Only applies to event & counter inputs. It limits the number of registered events to a
configurable count during a configurable time. The goal is to prevent multiple event
registrations for the same input, e.g. a disturbance interfering with a slow changing

Page | 16
mINT – IO

REF NO: m25A/om/201

Issue No: 03

input (perhaps the comparator hysteretic was chosen to be too small). The chatter
counter is configurable for individual inputs, chatter time for each input pair. Chatter
filtering for individual inputs can still be disabled by 0 chatter count values.
Chatter time: The time period within which the chatter counter limit is effective.
Value Range from 1 ... 65535 milliseconds.
Chatter count: The maximum number of registered events allowed passing within
the chatter time period. Values range from 1 ... 250, a 0 value deactivates chatter
filtering.
Example: If chatter time is configured and chatter counts are 5 counts.

Note: Warning Chattering is a mighty processing tool which may cause Undesirable
side effects. Its application to counter inputs is especially questionable.

4.2.5.2 Type of Channel:

This parameter enables the user to configure the channel output type. The user
configurable options are:
Discrete Output:
The channel output will remain constant as the controller requires.
Single Pulse:
When working in single pulse mode, “1” means starting a high level period which is
defined in the Pulse Width parameter. When a high level period time expires the
Output will stay low. “0” means canceling the last starting action. Before starting the
next Single pulse a canceling “0” is required.

High pulse
width

Continuous Pulse:
When working in continuous pulse mode, ‘1’ means starting a continuous pulse train,
the High and low level lengths of which are defined in Parameters. ‘0’ means
canceling the last Starting action. The factory default is “Discrete Output” for this
parameter.

High pulse Low pulse

width width

4.2.5.3 Pulse Width of Channel

This parameter is used to define the pulse width in conjunction with the “Type of
channel” parameter. When the Single Pulse or the Continuous Pulse option is set,
the high width and low width are configured separately. The unit is 10ms. 1 - 500 the
factory default is “500” for this parameter. The user configurable parameters are: 1–
500.
Example: If pulse width register value is written 1 count than Digital Output signal’s
pulse width is 10ms accordingly 1 x 10ms. If pulse width count is written 2, then
