Rail via the Powerline connection. It is recommended to use a standard-type Powerline Ethernet adapter. Theseadapters are available with different characteristics (for example only with LAN or with LAN and Wi-Fi, differentspeeds) at various providers. XPL Rail devices are compatible with any adapter manufactured as per HomePlug AVstandard, i.e. they are compatible with any adapters designed for a speed of at least 200 MBit. It is a prerequisitefor the next steps to successfully put into service such a Powerline Ethernet adapter. Please read the suppliedinstruction of the Powerline Ethernet adapter manufacturer as well. The easiest way is to connect the PowerlineEthernet adapter with a wall-mounted socket and to connect it to the existing router (see Figure 4) by means of anetwork cable. A direct connection between the computer and the Powerline Ethernet adapter can be establishedas well (see Figure 5).

Figure 4: Connection between notebook and XPL Rail via router and Powerline Ethernet adapter

Figure 5: Direct connection between notebook and XPL Rail via router and Powerline Ethernet adapter

Then, follow the steps as described in Putting into service the Powerline connection by means of push buttonmethod or Putting into service the Powerline connection using software. Both methods have advantagesand disadvantages. The first method is recommended if the manufacturer of the Powerline Ethernet adapter doesnot supply any software, or the software is not (yet) installed or can or shall not be used. If such a softwareis available and ready-to-use, it is recommended to use it as it can usually graphically represent the Powerlinenetwork. Furthermore, the user can get a better understanding of the Powerline network.The following solutions are, among others, available for the respective products of the manufacturers:

8/21

4.1 Putting into service the Powerline connection by means of the push button method4 PUTTING INTO SERVICE

• AVM GmbH: FRITZ!Powerline for Powerline adapter of the same-named series

• Devolo AG: devolo Cockpit for devolo’s dLAN R© products

By default, HomeplugAV-compatible individual devices supplied are encrypted with the standard password Home-PlugAV. Thus, these individual devices can be immediately combined with HomeplugAV-compatible devices of othermanufacturers which have this standard password as well. The disadvantage of this standard password is that itdoes not provide any confidentiality and it enables a crosstalk between network packages, for example, in apartmentbuildings. It is strongly recommended to configure an individual encryption for the own Powerline network. Pleaseread the instruction of your Powerline Ethernet adapter for further information.Notes:

• The use of the Powerline Ethernet adapter is only necessary to access the configuration interface of an XPLRail by means of a computer and browser. Depending on the application, the Powerline Ethernet adapter isthen no longer required and can be removed (for example, if no network connection is required or desiredand only XPL Rail are to be coupled together).

• Please note that the number of nodes in a Powerline network may be restricted by the Powerline Ethernetadapter. For the exact number, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.

In order to simplify the selection of a suitable Powerline Ethernet adapter, we selected some examples. Theseadapters are compatible with the XPL Rail family and support at least 64 nodes in the Powerline network:

• Allnet ALL1681205

• Devolo dLAN 1200+

• TP-LINK TL-PA8010P AV1200

• Netgear PLP1200-100PES

• AVM FRITZ!Powerline 1000E

4.1 Putting into service the Powerline connection by means of the push button method

The connection between the Powerline Ethernet adapter and the XPL Rail is established as follows:

1. Place your finger on the touch symbol on the front panel for 5 to 8 seconds until the PLC LED lights up inorange. After removing the finger, a potential already stored Powerline password will be deleted. The devicewill generate a random password and stores it internally. The PLC LED light ups in red and shows the newcondition as no Powerline connection to another device is established.

2. A pushbutton or the like has to be pressed on the Powerline Ethernet adapter, which establishes the con-nection to the router or the computer, in order to start the coupling process. Depending on the manufacturer,this pushbutton can have different names. Please read the operating instruction of your Powerline Ethernetadapter. Usually, this process is indicated by means of a flashing LED.

3. Now, place your finger on the touch symbol on the XPL Rail for 1 to 3 seconds. As soon as the PLC LEDlights up green, the finger can be removed and the PLC LED starts flashing. This indicates that the XPL Railhas started to join an existing network.

It may take up to one minute until the joining to the Powerline network is completed following the last step on theXPL Rail. This depends, among others, on the signal quality of the Powerline network. If no connection could beestablished to a Powerline network, the PLC LED on the XPL Rail lights up red again. Please note that the PLCLED can also light up red for a few seconds after successfully joining a network. Subsequently, however, it shouldbe permanently light up green.Notes:

• The time between pressing the pushbutton on the Powerline Ethernet adapter and removing the finger fromthe touch symbol on the XPL Rail may not exceed 2 minutes.

• Furthermore, it is only possible to add one single device to the Powerline network at a time. This process isto be repeated if several XPL rails are to be put into service.

4.2 Putting into service the Powerline connection using software

You can also add the device by means of DAK (Device Access Key, often also called device password or security ID)to an existing Powerline network or couple it with a Powerline Ethernet adapter. The DAK is indicated on the devicelabel of the XPL Rail. It consists of 4 x 4 letters, separated by hyphens, for example: COSE-NOW-LAXU-VAYU.Note this DAK and install the device in the power grid.

Figure 6: Example label for XPL Rail 4M - IO600

After the device has been put into service, you can add the device to the existing Powerline network using thesoftware of your Powerline Ethernet adapter (for example FRITZ!Powerline or devolo Cockpit). In doing so, the DAKis to be entered. Please refer to the documentation of your Powerline Ethernet adapter for further information aboutthis process.

4.3 Configuration of the XPL Rail device

4.3.1 Locating the device in the network

Here are several possibilities to access the configuration interface if the XPL Rail is connected to the router of alocal network by means of a Powerline Ethernet adapter. The configuration interface is provided by an integratedweb server and can be controlled using a browser (for example Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chromeor Apple Safari). The IP address of the XPL Rail is to be entered in the browser’s address bar in order to open theinterface. By default, the XPL Rail is set to DHCP, i.e. the IP address is dynamically assigned by the router. If anXPL Rail has been set to a static IP address it is sufficient to directly enter the static IP address in order to open theconfiguration interface. Otherwise, there are four ways to find out the IP address of the device:

• via portal connection

1. Open the internet address http://give-me-the.link in the browser.

2. You will get a list of devices in your local network which have been already logged on the portal.

3. Here, you can now click on a link in order to access the configuration interface of the respective device.

4. Please note that this will only work if:

– XPL Rail and browser are connected to the internet via the same router,– the internet access is not blocked by a firewall or the like,– the portal connection in the XPL Rail is not deactivated.

• via UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play)

1. Open the Windows explorer and search for the ”Network“symbol.

10/21

http://give-me-the.link

4.3 Configuration of the XPL Rail device 4 PUTTING INTO SERVICE

2. By clicking on the symbol, all devices in the network are listed.

3. All XPL Rail devices found are indicated by means of a symbol. In the as-delivered state, the name ofthe symbol indicates the default host name, which consists of the prefix ”xplr4-IO600-“and the last fourcharacters of the MAC address 2. Open the configuration interface by double-clicking this symbol.

4. Please note that this will only work if the UPnP is not blocked by the Windows firewall. In case of doubt,please contact your network and/or system administrator.

Figure 7: UPnP symbol in the network environment

• via DNS resolutionOpen the internet address http://xplr4-IO600-/ in the browser. Replace the character stringby the last four characters of the MAC address 2 (for example: if the MAC address 2 is00:01:87:ab:cd:ef, then the internet address is http://xplr4-IO600-cdef/). xplr4-IO600-is thedefault host name of your device. If the router assigns an IP address to your device, it will previously sendthis host name. If supported by your router, the IP address assigned by the router can be assigned to thisname by means of which the browser can then directly access the configuration interface. If you changed thedefault host name, you will have to use your selected host name. Please note that this will only work, if therouter provides this functionality (this applies to most of the models manufactured in 2012 or later, often thiseven applies to previous series).

• via the web interface of your router.Routers (for example FRITZ!Box, Speedport...) often also provide a web interface, containing a list of allknown network devices. Partially, a login is required for the router interface. Please refer to the documentationof your router for further information.

4.3.2 Startscreen

On the startscreen of the configuration website you see a schematical drawing of the device including the coloureddevice LEDs that represent the state of the device and it’s IO channels.If a channel is configured as digital output without coupling to a virtual channel you can change the state of thatchannel by toggling the corresponding switch on the startscreen.If a channel is configured as analog input the measured physical value is displayed.

4.3.3 Physical IO channel configuration

On this page you can setup each physical channel individually. A physical channel is a pair of clamps. The labelingof the tabs correspond to the number of the channel.

http://xplr4-IO600http://xplr4-IO600-cdef/

4.3 Configuration of the XPL Rail device 4 PUTTING INTO SERVICE

• Label:can be used to assign an up to 16 characters long name to each channel i.e. ”livingroom“

• Type:configured the channel as Disabled, Analog input, Digital input, Digital output or S0 input.

• Mode:Depending on the selected Type you have different options:

– Normal - default setting without any of the below specials

– Flipflop - changing the state based on edges instead of levels

– Single pulse - generates an pulse signal on outputs

• Level:selection between Direct und Inverted while Direct passes the signal without change and Invertedinverts the state.

• Trigger:select between Rising Edge and Falling Edge.

• Enable Pull-up:activates a pull-up resistor to 3.3 V.

• Threshold:Defines the threshold for detection of logical LOW or HIGH and is defined as integer in the range between 0and 65535. Setting it to 0 corresponds to a threshold of 0 V and 65535 corresponds to 10 V.

• Delay On time:delays the signal for off-on transitions

• Delay Off time:delays the signal for on-off transitions

• Pulse width:the value of the pulse length

• Pulses per unit:only for S0 input: count of pulses per unit, depends on connected device

• Unit:only for S0 input: user-defined string up to 16 characters to hold the unit of the counted pulses, e.g. ”kWh“

• Current value:only for S0 input: enter here the current meter reading of the connected S0 meter

• Transfer threshold:filter for analog signals to suppress transmission of new values that changed less then this specified value

• Assign Virtual Channel/Virtual Channel ID:see chapter Virtual Channels (subsubsection 4.3.4)

Note:

• The actual state of an IO channel is kept in volatile memory, so it may be lost under certain conditions (poweroutage, firmware update, software reset, reset to factory defaults).

Timing Examples for a digital input (DI)

4.3.4 Virtual Channels

Using Virtual Channel inputs and outputs can be coupled across multiple devices. It is distinguished betweenanalog virtual channels and digital virtual channels. Each of this channels is addressed with an ID as integerbetween 1 and 65535.

An analog virtual channel with ID 1 is not linked to digital virtual channel with ID 1. Both can exist inparallel without interference.A virtual channel can only have one signal source. This means that only one input in the whole network can have adistinct ID. On the other hand a virtual channel can be assigned to multiple outputs.

13/21

4.3 Configuration of the XPL Rail device 4 PUTTING INTO SERVICE

Example 1:You connect a switch to one XPL Rail 4M - IO600 and want to switch two physically separated lamps. Each lamp isconnected to a separate XPL Rail device. On the device that is connected to the switch you configure the connectedphysical channel as digital input and assign it to virtual channel with ID 1. Both devices with connected lamps haveto be configured as digital output on the connected clamps. Both need to be assigned to virtual channel with ID 1as well. Now the state of the switch is submitted to the lamps and they can be switched.

14/21

4.3 Configuration of the XPL Rail device 4 PUTTING INTO SERVICE

Example 2:Based on the previous example you now want to control the both lamps with separate switches. To do this youneed to connect a second switch to the first device. The corresponding physical channel is now configured as digitalinput with virtual channel ID 2. The device that is connected to the second lamps is now reconfigured to use virtualchannel ID 2. Now switch 1 controls the first lamp and switch 2 the second lamp.

Note: Assigning a virtual channel to a physical channel disables manual control via configuration website.Attention: Assigning multiple inputs to the same virtual channel may lead to unexpected behaviour. Connectedoutputs may begin to oscillate.

4.3.5 Network configuration

On this page you can change settings that are used for integration in your local network.

General settings A name that can be choosen freely is used for DHCP-request to your router. The router on theother hand can use this name to provide you a list of devices that registered to the DHCP server. Depending onyour router this may also enable DNS name resolution with this name.

IPv4 You can select between static IP address and DHCP on this page. When DHCP is selected but no DHCPserver can be found on the network the device selects an IP address according to the Auto-IP-Standard in the range169.254.0.0/16. This allows you to directly connect the device with your PC to get to the configuration website.

It is advisable to temporarily change the Windows firewall settings to allow ”Network Discovery“in orderto find Auto-IP configured devices via UPnP.

15/21

5 INTERFACE FOR THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE

For more details regarding this settings talk to your network or system administrator.

Multicast Virtual channels are transmitted via UDP/IP multicast. All devices that shall operate in cooperation witheach other need to have the same multicast address and the same UDP port configured. Usually it is not neededto change the factory defaults (Multicast address: 239.255.255.250; UDP port: 4109). Only change those settingswhen advised to do so by your local network administrator or customer service.

IP discovery client The device connects to an internet server (discovery server) to make finding it in the localnetwork easier, the transmitted data include: the internal IP address, MAC address, hostname and device type. Noother personal data is transmitted.The time interval for the connections to the discovery server can be configured via the parameter Requestinterval and has a default value of 60 seconds. This means that the device connects to the discovery serveronce every minute.

Your network carrier may charge you for this periodic transmission if the included traffic of your internetplan is exceeded.If other discovery mechanisms (see Locating the device in the network (subsubsection 4.3.1)) can be used you canalso disable the IP discovery client completely.

4.3.6 Powerline

This page offers an overview of the powerline network. The first item in the list gives technical details of thecurrent XPL Rail device. Further list items show details of connected powerline devices, e.g. powerline chipset,firmware versions and data rates. It is possible that not all devices of other manufacturers provide all the requestedinformation. The web frontend of other discovered XPL Rail devices can be reached by clicking on the correspondinglist item.Futhermore, this page offers the possibility to add new powerline devices via DAK (Device Access Key) or pushbutton simple connect. Furthermore this page allows setting a new powerline key for the local device or resettingthe powerline configuration to factory defaults.

4.3.7 Maintenance

On this page you can find important device identifiers like model number, serial number but also information aboutthe used firmware version.Furthermore you can update the device firmware on this page. Please regularly check for updates on the manufac-turers website. These updates may fix existing malfunctions of the device as well as add new features.It is also possible to download a backup of the IO channel configuration or to upload such a backup file to restorean IO channel configuration. This helps e.g. to deploy customized IO channel configurations over multiple devices.Via two buttons you may also initiate the following two actions:

1. Reset: forces the device to execute a restart and sets every temporary settings to their initial on state.

2. Blink: Blinks all LEDs of the device for approximately 10 seconds. This function may be used to find a devicein the cabinet where it is mounted amongs multiple other devices of the same type.

5 Interface for third-party software

The device offers a programming interface (API) for third party software. This interface is an REST-conform API thatprovides and processes JSON encoded data.Reading and setting parameters is always possible via this interface. But it is not possible to write to physical outputchannels that are assigned to virtual channels. Write requests to such channels are silently ignored.Details about that interface are documented in a separate documentation.
