Preparing for Work

Connection diagram

      General connection diagram for the IOMX G-Box 023D to the network and controlled devices.

Figure 5. Connection diagram for the IOMX G-Box 023D network gateway

Description of the connection diagram

      The general diagram shows a local network based on the RS-485 interface, connecting several devices. When connecting, the signal circuits, usually referred to as A and B, must be connected correctly. Reversing the polarity is not a problem, but the gateway will not work.

General recommendations:
• The best signal transmission medium is twisted pair copper cable.
• The ends of the cable must be terminated with terminal resistors (usually 120 ohms). A terminal resistor is installed inside the gateway.
• The network must be laid out in a bus topology, without branches.
• Devices should be connected to the cable with the shortest possible wires.

     RS-485 provides data transfer at speeds up to 10 Mbps. The maximum range depends on the speed: at 10 Mbps, the maximum line length is 120 m, and at 100 kbps, it is 1200 m.

Working procedure

      The IOMX G-Box 023D turns on automatically when power is supplied and does not require any additional manipulation or configuration. After turning on, the operating system boots up and the special iOmatex-client* application starts.

Figure 6. Connecting the IOMX G-Box 023D gateway and iOMATEX interface modules to the iOMATEX network via the RS485 interface.

• Register the IOMX G-Box 023D gateway on the iOmatex service network.¹
• Configure the device (gateway) using the client organization’s (buyer’s) credentials.
• Add the interface module(s) via the iOmatex service web interface.
• Create and configure a script for the automated operation of connected actuators.

      In addition to controlling interface modules connected via the RS-485 interface, the gateway provides media playback functionality using the pre-installed iOmatex-client software. The iOmatex-client software is a specialized software component designed for the automatic playback of media content received from a cloud service or from a dedicated server located on the local network.
