User Manual – Revision S
➢ This method of cascading a digital input across multiple IMx-S is limited
to applications where the signal frequency is no more than 9 kHz. This
may therefore be unsuitable for applications where a high number of
pulses per rev are being used.
Network Configuration
An IMx-S 16 has one identity number that needs to be configured and also it has to be
assigned one IP address. An IMx-S 32 unit is essentially composed of two IMx-S 16 units;
therefore, it has two (2) identity numbers that need to be configured and also it has to
be assigned with two IP addresses.
The identity numbers must be between 1 and 255 and unique to the database to which
the device is connected. Keep in mind that most of the time, all IMx-S units are on the
same network and database, therefore units can NOT have the same IP address or the
same unit ID.
Configuration also requires the network settings (IP address and port number) of the
@ptitude Observer Monitor or Analyst IMx Service to which the IMx will be connected.
Network configuration uses:
• For Observer clients: Online Device Configurator. For detailed information, refer to
the @ptitude Observer On-line Device Configurator User Manual.
• For Analyst clients: Multilog IMx Configurator in Admin Tools under SKF @ptitude
Monitoring Suite.
There are two ways to configure a network and ID configuration:
• by Software: is configured by the software via On-line Device Configurator or
Multilog IMx Configurator.
• by Hardware Switches: by configuring HEX rotary switches manually.
Configuration by Hardware Switches
If the network is being configured manually by hardware, the following points must be
considered:
• The factory default configuration for the TCP/IP address is 10.0.0.1XY.
• The network configuration requires that the first three parts of the IP address are
set at the Create IMx/MasCon16 Config screen of the On-line Device Configurator or
Multilog IMx Configurator.
• The last, fourth, part of the IP address will be set by the HEX rotary switches on the
IMx-S unit.
• For example, 10.0.0.1XY, where XY will be derived from the HEX rotary switches.
• These last two digits will also form the unit ID.
• The HEX rotary switches are located on the front panel, right hand side marked as
HEX1 and HEX2 above the Ethernet connectors.
• The HEX rotary switches have to be set manually with a small screwdriver.
