Warranty

All components of the external modem kit are covered by their individual manufacturer�s warranties. Siemens Milltronics Process Instruments Inc. does not provide warranty on any of the modem kit components, separately or together.

Note: The RS-232 Modem Kit can be used as a modem connected to the PC as well.

7ML19981DP02 External Modem Kit � INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 1

The External Modem Kit

The External Modem Kit is assembled to assist users connecting external modems to Milltronics brand products. While any modem can work with Siemens Milltronics brand products, the VT-Modem by SIXNET is easy to use and reliable. For best results, use the RS-232 Modem Kit for the PC side and RS-232 and RS-485 Modem kit for device side.

When connecting to the OCM III, Siemens Milltronics recommends using Flow Reporter software. When working with Modbus RTU, we recommend the Modbus Serial driver by Kepware (www.kepware.com).

Assembly Instructions

1. Turn off the main AC power supply. Connect the AC power cable to the AC power connection on the power supply marked as N and L1.

2. Connect the power transfer cable to the power supply and modem as follows:� +V on power supply to terminal 2 (+) on modem using clear wire.� �V on power supply to terminal 3 (-) on modem using black wire.Connect the ground on the modem to the cabinet ground (wire not provided).

3. Turn on power to the power supply. Connect modem programming cable to modem�s DB-9 connector and then to an available port on a PC (eg. Com 1).

4. Configure external modem. See detailed instructions on page 6.Disconnect the programming cable when finished.

5. Connect the Siemens Milltronics product to the external modem using the appropriate wiring code (see Configuring Instruments on page 9).

6. Program the Siemens Milltronics product using the correct parameters listed in Configuring Instruments section. Connect external modem to analog phone line using RJ-11 telephone cable in the modem�s line jack.

7. Configure the internal modem in laptop or desktop PC using Windows 95 or 98 to communicate using Modbus RTU protocol. (See Configuring Internal Modem on page 17.)

8. Dial in to Siemens Milltronics product using internal modem.

Note: Customer supplied required parts and tools: � power cable� cabinet ground wire� ohmmeter� RJ-11 phone cord

7. Save Configuration file.8. After connecting the modem programming cable to modem�s DB-9 connector and

the designated port on your PC, and setting the dip switches (RS-485 modem only), write configuration file to the modem.

9. Click Finish.

The external modem is now configured for 9600 baud communication.

For communication from the PC, use either the RS-232 Modem Kit (see page 12 for PC connection) or use an internal PC modem.

The internal modem (Modbus Master) must be set up for:� Modbus RTU� 8 data bits� 1 stop bit� no parity� no flow control
