PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The POWERLOGIC EGX is an Ethernet-based device that provides a transparent
interface between Ethernet-based networks and field devices. Field devices include
meters, monitors, protective relays, PLCs, trip units, and other devices that
communicate using MODBUS, JBUS or POWERLOGIC protocol.
The 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 functions.
The two basic models are:
EGX200. This unit is an Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) to serial gateway. Serial protocols
include MODBUS RTU, SY/MAX, and POWERLOGIC. It has one twisted pair
Ethernet port (UTP/STP) 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 data and other information from the connected devices. See the
EGX400 reference guide for details.
Both EGX models have web server functionality that let you remotely configure and
troubleshoot both Ethernet and serial communication parameters. A typical application
example is shown in Figure 11.

Port-to-Port Communication
The EGX allows port-to-port communication. A Modbus RTU master on one serial port
can communicate to serial devices on the other serial port of the same EGX. See
Figure 410.

RS-485 Configuration
On RS-485 daisy chains, correct biasing is required to ensure reliable communication
with field devices. The dip switches on the EGX for each RS-485 port provide flexibility
in configuring the correct biasing. Figure 412 shows the biasing and termination
label, as well as the typical dip switch settings for both 4-wire and 2-wire configurations.
In addition, the RS-485 daisy chain should be terminated to ensure reliable
communication. The last device on the daisy chain usually needs a terminator (part
number MCT-485 or MCTAS-485). Please refer to the instruction bulletin for the last
device on the daisy chain to determine whether a terminator is required. If one is
required, contact your local sales representative.
4-Wire Configuration
For RS-485, 4-wire configuration, the biasing and termination dip switches should all
be ON (switches 1, 2, 3, 4 for COM 2 and switches 7, 8, 9, and 10 for COM 1
switches 5 and 6 are not used). The EGX is shipped with all dip switches in the ON
position (default). Therefore, you do not need to change the dip switches unless a
different termination or biasing is required.
2-Wire Configuration
For RS-485 2-wire communication, the biasing dip switches should all be ON.
However, the termination dip switches for either Rx or Tx should be OFF. Therefore,
either switch 7 or 8 should be OFF for COM 1, and either switch 1 or 2 should be OFF
for COM 2.

A yellow LED illuminates when the EGX is receiving data (RX) and a green LED
illuminates when data is transmitted (TX). A third light, link (LK), illuminates yellow
when there is a proper Ethernet connection. On the EGX400, the two Ethernet ports
share one set of LEDs because only one Ethernet port can be used at a time.

3. For the Language, select the desired language from the pull-down menu.
4. Log into the EGX using one of the four defined passwords, and then click Log In.
See Password Administration on page 38 for more information.
NOTE: The default password is admin (all lower case). For system security, if you
are the administrator, we recommend that you change the administrator password
at this time (see Password Administration on page 38).
The EGX Home page displays. The list of available options depends on the level of
access assigned in the password administration option.
Communications Settings
Figure 52 shows the Communications Settings page, where you can change
Ethernet and serial communications parameters. After changing values, you must click
the Update button for changes to take effect.
NOTE: 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
again by typing the IP address into the address field of your web browser and pressing
Enter.
In addition, COM 2 can be set for either RS-232 or RS-485 communication. The default
setting is RS-485.
Device List
Figure 53 on page 36 shows the Device List page, in which serial devices can be
identified. Keep in mind the following points when setting up the Device List:
For COM 1 daisy-chain devices:
MODBUS/JBUS devices do not have to be defined in the COM 1 column of the
Device List, although it is recommended to help you manage your system.
POWERLOGIC protocol (SY/MAX) devices must be defined in the COM 1 column
of the Device List.
NOTES:
Do not assign address 16 to any MODBUS or JBUS device if you have a mixed-
mode daisy chain (for example, a single daisy chain with some RS-485 devices
using POWERLOGIC protocol and others using MODBUS/JBUS protocol).
Do not assign address 1 to any POWERLOGIC protocol device on a mixed-mode
daisy chain (for example, CM2000, CM100, CM200, 810-D, PIF85, PIF3, Digital
Relay, and POWERLINK AS).
Do not use the same address for any slave devices on the two EGX COM ports.
We recommend that you wire and connect all MICROLOGIC trip units to COM 1.
(Please refer to the MICROLOGIC Trip Unit instruction bulletin for proper
addressing.)
By default, the device list page displays 16 slots per port to define devices. For
information on increasing the number of devices in the Device List page, see
Advanced Setup on page 40.
Diagnostics
Figure 54 shows the Diagnostics page, which displays diagnostic data and may be
helpful in troubleshooting network problems. This page also contains information about
your specific EGX, including the serial number, manufacturing date, and Media Access
Control (MAC) address. Pressing Reset clears all cumulative counters.
NOTE: This page will show accumulated readings since the EGX was last activated. If
power to the EGX is lost, all values reset to zero.
Password Administration
Figure 55 shows the Password Administration page. There are four password
controlled accounts: one administrator password account and three user password
accounts. Passwords can be up to eight alpha characters. The default passwords
assigned to user accounts are:
master
engineer
operator
Administrator Account
The administrator account always grants the administrator full access to every web
page available through the EGX. When you log in as the administrator, you can change
the administrator password. Only the administrator can access and change
passwords. The administrator password can be up to eight alpha characters and is
case sensitive. The default administrator password is: admin
For system security, if you are the administrator, we recommended that you change
this default password the first time you log in.
User Account
The default access levels for all user accounts are shown in Figure 55. The
administrator can grant one of three access levels for each web page to each user:
None, Read Only, and Full.
Up to 10 concurrent users can be logged into the EGX at any given time, using any
combination of passwords. The administrator can configure the amount of time the
EGX waits during an inactivity period before expiring access (see Advanced Setup
on page 40).
We recommend that you return to the EGX home page and select Log Out when
finished interfacing with the EGX; doing so immediately releases that access privilege
for another user.
The administrator can disable the password for any page. Disabling security for a page
allows users to bookmark the page for quick access without going through the Login
page.
Table 54 summarizes password accounts, default passwords, conventions, and
access levels.
Advanced Setup
The Advanced Setup page (Figure 56) is accessible by the administrator password
only. This page allows administrator level users to change EGX timing values that
normally should not be changed. Also, you can use this page to set the EGX on-board
clock. EGX parameters and corresponding values are shown in Table 55.
Logging Out
To log out of the EGX configuration session, click Home to return to the EGX Home
page. Click Log Out to end your session.
Due to technological improvements, the firmware your EGX was shipped with may be
updated periodically. We recommend periodically checking with your local Schneider
Electric sales representative to see if an upgrade is available.
If an update becomes available, compare the updated version number with your
version number shown on the EGX Home page. If the update is a newer version (has
a higher version number), transfer it to your computer hard drive, taking note of the
folder in which you place it.
To use FTP to transfer the firmware upgrade into your EGX, follow these steps:
NOTE: In this example, we will assume that you saved the EGX new firmware
update file into a folder called EGX, which is located on your C: drive.
1. Access DOS on your computer by selecting Start > Program > Command Prompt.
The Command Prompt screen displays, as shown in the following figures.
NOTE: This path is typical for NT. The path may differ for other platforms.
2. Type the drive you want to access (in this case, C:) and press Enter.
3. Change to your new directory. Type: cd egx and press Enter.
4. At the C:\EGX prompt, type ftp and the IP address assigned to the EGX and then
press Enter.
You should receive the message Connected to [IP address], indicating you are
now in an ftp session.
7. At the ftp prompt, type: send [egx#####.bin], and press Enter to initiate the ftp
transfer. The filename you enter is case-sensitive.
NOTE: ##### refers to the EGX firmware version number.
8. When the download is complete, the ftp prompt displays again. Type: quit and
press Enter to exit the FTP session.
MAINTENANCE
The EGX does not require maintenance, nor does it contain any user-serviceable parts.
If the EGX requires service, contact your local sales representative for help. Refer to
the Technical Support Contacts provided in the shipping carton for a list of support
phone numbers by country. Do not open the EGX enclosure; this will void the product
warranty agreement.
