2. Quick start
1.1 Cabling and connection
The wiring and installation of EasyLogs are very simple.
This guide briefly illustrates how to make electrical connections and settings for initial access.
1.2 SD Card
EasyLog 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; on click the
card will lift a bit and can be withdrawn. N.B. We always recommend the use of industrial-grade SD cards.
3.3 Serial
If you use the serial port to read data from ModBus RTU devices, connect the RS485 wires
as shown in figure 2.
3.4 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 EasyLog, as shown in Fig.3.
3.5 Power Supply
Connect EasyLog to a 10-40Vdc / power supply 19-28Vac as in Fig. 4.
There is no polarity to be respected.
2. Access and configuration
EasyLog has an integrated WEB server, therefore it is configured
using a standard browser. To access the configuration pages, enter
the EasyLog IP address from the browser of your PC, tablet or smart
phone.
Il dispositivo dal quale ci si connette deve essere all’interno della
stessa rete di EasyLog (Par. 4.1).
2.1 Networ IP address
The default IP address of EasyLog is 192.168.1.100
If your network is of the same IP class: 192.168.1 ..., go to paragraph 4.3, otherwise follow the instructions from point 4.2 to set
the correct IP address.
To identify the IP class of your network, run the IPCONFIG command from the command prompt.
Fig.5 IP address verification on your PC
Quick start Rev.2.0 24/10/2020
In Fig.5, the IP address of the PC is 192.168.1.5. It belongs to the same class / network as EasyLog, since the firsts
3 numbers (192, 168 and 1) are the same. It is therefore possible to reach EasyLog from the PC browser.
If the network is NOT in the 192.168.1 class, you can proceed in 2 ways:
1. Set up EasyLog to work in DHCP (see paragraph 4.2);
2. Set a valid IP on EasyLog (see chapter 5 EasyLog 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:
Connect EasyLog to the LAN via an Ethernet
cable (Par. 4.3) and power it (Par. 4.4). When the Status LED flashes at regular intervals, EasyLog is ready for use.
At this point you can proceed in 2 ways:
a. by determining the IP address via a network discovery software (e.g. Advanced IP Scanner or Free IP Scanner). Then
enter the address found on the browser.
b. type in the browser http: //easylog.local. Thanks to the dDNS protocol, EasyLog will respond to the request allowing the
user to access the configuration pages without knowing the exact IP. This option it is available if the Bonjour service or
other dDNS service (generally present) is available on the PC from which it is accessed.
N.B. Use this option by connecting at most one EasyLog in the same LAN.
2.3 Login e autenticazione
Once the IP address has been defined, type it in the browser. This will allow you
to access the EasyLog configuration and consultation pages.
The first screen (Fig. 8) is the authentication page with username and password.
The default values are:
User name: admin
Password: admin
