Operational Start up
3.1 Connections and Interfaces
All of the connection ports are located at the rear of the CHRocodile C (Cf. section 2.6 Connections
and Interfaces):
The power supply jack,
The RJ45 standard connector for Ethernet communication,
The multipoint connector interface (9 pins) for trigger input / output and RS422/RS232 serial
communication,
3.1.1 CHRocodile C Stand Alone device:
The device can be used as a stand-alone device in order to perform selective distance or thickness
measurements. In this condition, only the power supply and Ethernet connector or multipoint
connector are useful.
Power supply
The CHRocodile C has two pluggable screw terminal for power supply with 24V
DC
+/-10%.
Connect the set of power cable supply associated to the Power Supply Adapter (100-240VAC to
24V
DC
+/-10%) delivered with the CHRocodile C unit.
Ethernet connector
Connect the isolated RJ45 standard connector from the CHRocodile C unit to an Ethernet network
(PC). Use shielded cable for the data port connection (minimum category 5 cable).
The default CHRocodile C IP address is: 192.168.170.4
Configure the PC Ethernet port to the following address: 192.168.170.X (X≠4)
The CHRocodile C can also be configured to use auto-configuration of the IP-Address through
a DHCP server.
To configure the Ethernet port of your PC, you must open the ‘Network connection properties’ menu.
After selecting the right Ethernet card (connected to the sensor), click on ‘network protocol (TCP/IPv4)’
and click ‘Properties’. Set the IP address of the PC and the mask. For a standard use the mask should
be set to 255.255.255.0.
If you need to configure the sensor to another IP address (different than 192.168.170.4), you need to
use the $IPCN command (Cf. Appendix 1). This could be useful in case of multiple CHRocodile C
connection on a single computer.
