3 Field devices include meters, monitors, protective relays, PLCs, trip units, and other devices that communicate using MODBUS, JBUS or POWERLOGIC EGX uses MODBUS/TCP protocol to access power monitoring information across a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN). This capability allows the use of power monitoring software to access information from devices for data collection, trending, alarm/event management, harmonic analysis, and other two models are: EGX200. This unit is an Ethernet (MODBUS/TCP) to serial Gateway . Serial protocols include MODBUS RTU, POWERLOGIC , and Jbus.

4 It has one twisted pair Ethernet port and two serial ports. One serial port is RS-485. The second serial port is configurable for RS-232 or RS-485. EGX400. In addition to the functionality of the EGX200, the EGX400 has a 100 MB fiber optic Ethernet port and nonvolatile memory. Users can store custom web pages to view real time status, energy, and power quality from the connected devices. See the EGX400 reference Guide 63230-314-202 for details. Both EGX models have web server functionality that let you remotely configure and troubleshoot both Ethernet and serial communication Accessing the EGX Over a Network9/2003 Logging into the EGX 2003 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved3 ENGLISHACCESSING THE EGX OVER A NETWORKA fter you set up the Ethernet parameters using HyperTerminal or a web browser (see the installation Guide 63230-314-200), you can access the EGX over an Ethernet LAN with Internet INTO THE EGXTo log into the EGX:1.

5 Launch your web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer v. or higher recommended).2. In the address field, type the IP address of the EGX ( is the default) and press EGX Login page If necessary, select your language from the pull-down menu. English is the Type one of the four defined passwords and click Log In. The default administrator password is admin. The EGX Home page displays. The list of available options depends on the level of access assigned in the password administration option.

6 However, a different Home page may display depending on the configuration of your EGX Web Pages 63230-314-208A1 Logging Out9/2003 2003 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved4 ENGLISHLOGGING OUTWe recommend logging out whenever you do not need access to the EGX. This releases your access privilege for other log out of the EGX configuration session, click Home to return to the EGX Home page and click Log Out to end your EGX WEB PAGES COMMUNICATIONS SETTINGSYou can change Ethernet and serial communications parameters on the Communications Settings page.

7 After changing values, you must click the Update button for changes to take : If you make changes to the Ethernet parameters and click Update, the EGX will reset for the settings to go into effect. Because of this reset, you must log in to the EGX Setup PagesDescriptionPageCommunication SettingsSet up or change Ethernet and serial communication ListIdentify serial devices on the daisy chain and configure interval data troubleshooting and miscellaneous EGX Administration Configure or modify user passwords and access Setup Change timeout values ( user timeout, COM 1, and COM 2), number of viewable devices, default language, set time, and configure interval data logging (EGX400 only).
