BASIC INFORMATION
Description
AD4ETH measuring converter is a 4-input A/D converter which enables the user to measure to
four current inputs ranging from 0(4) to 20 mA or voltage between 0 and 10 V. The measured
values are then transferred to a superior system in digital form. AD4ETH has been produced in
three versions differing in their communication interface – the data can be transferred via
RS232/RS485 lines, over USB interface or the Ethernet. The AD4ETH version communicates
via Ethernet.

Application
 Measurement of values from sensors with voltage or current output.
 Reading of sensors whose output is a standardised current signal
 Digitalisation of measured values from level, pressure, temperature, distance and other
sensors
 Remote supervision over applications indicated above.
Features
 Four analogue inputs for current or voltage
 Measuring scale divided into 10 000 divisions
 Full isolation of the measuring part from power supply and communication lines
 Measurements carried out by a multiplex 16 bit sigma-delta A/D converter
 The maximum measuring speed of each input equals 406 ms
 Communication via 10/100 Ethernet (Internet)
 Communication protocols TCP/IP (Spinel), UDP/IP (Spinel), SNMP2, MODBUS TCP2,
HTTP (WEB, WAP, XML, SOAP)
 Two different measuring modes are available for TCP or UDP connection:
o Single measurement – sends one measured value from each input upon a request.
o Continuous measuring – measures all inputs in the set interval and regularly sends the
measured values via the communication line.
 Internal WEB site allowing to view current values and settings.
 WAP pages showing measured values for cell phone or PDA.
 Measured out values and configuration available in XML format.
 Advanced conversion to user defined ranges and units. (For example if the pressure
sensor is connected to the AD4ETH, it can be transmitted directly as a value in kPa.)

Measured values can be transmitted as a POST request (SOAP-XML) or HTTP GET on
the WEB server.
 Measuring Wix software for temperatures displaying and storing for Windows
 Wide range of power supply voltage (6 to 30 V)
2
There are two versions of AD4ETH – SNMP type and MODBUS type. Each can contain only one
communication protocol. Version is necessary to define when ordering the converter.

AD4ETH
1) WEB page
It is possible to easy monitor the
measured values and also to configure
AD4ETH over the Intranet interface. The
pages are secured by means of user
name and password. It is possible to
setup a separate password for the
configuration and another one for the
display of current values. The pages in
AD4ETH can be displayed in Czech or
English according to the setup. (See page
13 for more information.)
2) XML file
It is also possible to import all the values from AD4ETH in the XML file format. This
format is easy to process by the application or to read by the web service. (See page 17
for more information.)
<input id="2" unit="V" val="375.5" min="370" max="400" name="Generator" ...
3) WAP page for PDA of mobile phone
AD4ETH contains a simple WAP page with measured data. It is possible to open this
page in a mobile phone, PDA or another mobile device. Thus the current status of the
device can be viewed whenever needed. (See page 14 for more information.)
4) Inserting the current values into the WEB sites (HTTP GET)
AD4ETH enables you to periodically call a script (for example PHP or ASP) on a
selected WEB server and to hand the measured values and other parameters over to the
server in the form of HTTP GET parameter. Thus you can easily include the currently
measured values directly into your WEB site. (See page 18 for more information.)
www.myserver.net/ad4eth.php?ch=1&unit=V&val=375.50&min=370& ...
5) Current values handing-over to the WEB service (HTTP POST, SOAP)
AD4ETH is also able to periodically send the measured data as HTTP POST in the
format of XML SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). This way is ideal for further
processing of the measured values by the WEB service waiting in a server on the
Internet or Intranet. This data in the XML format can be easily processed, e.g. in the.NET
or PHP environment – there is no need to program any communication protocol, etc. The
only thing than needs to be done is to process the delivered XML file. (See page 19 for
more information.)
6) SNMP protocol
The SNMP protocol is used in large companies for the centralized administration and
monitoring of all hardware and technologies. AD4ETH is able to communicate via this
protocol and, according to the setup, It sends SNMP traps when the pre-set critical limits
www.papouch.com
Page 7
AD4ETH
Papouch s.r.o.
are exceeded. It is also able to periodically send traps with current values. (See page 22
for more information.)
7) E-mail
According to the setup, AD4ETH is able to inform the user via email that the critical
limits, pre-defined for individual channels, have been exceeded. (Thanks to services
provided by operators it is possible to forward the e-mail easily to a mobile phone as an
SMS message.) (See page 21 for more information.)
8) TCP or UDP protocol
AD4ETH is also able to operate as the TCP client or TCP server or to communicate via
UDP. The Spinel protocol is used by AD4ETH in these ways of communication. This way
of communication is similar to the serial link communication. (See page 15 for more
information.)
9) MODBUS TCP protocol
AD4ETH is also able to communicate via the standard industry protocol of MODBUS
TCP. (See page 24 for more information.)

AD4ETH
BLOCK DIAGRAM AND OPERATION
The measuring part is fully isolated from the communication line and power supply.
Fig. 1 – Block diagram of AD4ETH
The AD4ETH measuring device uses one switched sigma-delta A/D converter. After switching
on the power supply voltage, the processor initiates the A/D converter and set the device
parameters according to the data saved in memory. Then the device start to regularly measure
the values of voltage found on the analogue inputs and saves the results into the integrated
memory.
In the continuous measuring mode AD4ETH sends the measured values in the set interval.
CONNECTORS
Measuring terminals
Note: The input types (voltage or current) are unchangeable and must be specified by the user
when ordering the device. Subsequently they can be changed only by the manufacturer.
The measuring terminal unit is a six-slot terminal unit shown in Fig. 2. It contains four inputs and
two grounding terminals.
All four measuring terminals have a joint grounding on the two sides of the terminal unit. This
grounding is isolated from other grounding terminals found in the device.
The measuring terminals have been designed for the measurement of voltage of current. Wires
can be connected individually and fixed by means of a screw (use flat bladed screwdriver
2.5 mm).

Power supply
DC supply 6 to 30 V shall be connected to the double terminal shown in Fig. 3. The input has an
integrated polarity reversal protection.
Wires can be connected individually and fixed by means of a screw (use flat bladed screwdriver
2.5 mm).
Ethernet
Ethernet (computer network interface) is to be connected to a connector in Fig. 3. It is a
standardized RJ-45 connector for 100/10 Ethernet.
Connect this connector to the PC via a cross-wired cable or to the switch or hub via a direct
cable.

WEB INTERFACE
It is possible to monitor the status of all inputs and to configure all parameters of the device via
the WEB interface. WEB interface is available on the IP address of AD4ETH.3 The initial IP
address is 192.168.1.254.
The WEB page enables optical highlighting of the value exceeding the set limits or measuring
errors (according to the setup, AD4ETH simultaneously sends an e-mail, SNMP trap etc.)
Fig. 8 – Example of WEB interface (three channels are all right, one shows range exceeding)
WEB interface is available in the Czech and English language.
The interface security is divided into two levels (each with an individual password). The “user”
level only enables users to view the status of inputs. The “administrator” level also enables the
configuration of the device.
Quick help for the individual setup items is displayed when you scroll the pointer of mouse over
the appropriate input field.
AD4ETH enables the user to enter data (text or HTML) available from the main page. This
option is suitable for entering instructions for the operating staff, providing a link to the company
WEB, to other devices etc.
Configuration via the WEB interface is available by clicking on the symbol of the tool and is
described in chapter Configuration via WEB interface beginning on page 26.
3
The interface is optimized for the minimum resolution of 1024x768 pixels and for the browsers of Internet
Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 and Firefox 2.0. It is necessary to enable JavaScript in the browser for the correct
function of the interface.

WAP
WAP interface allows monitoring of the current values from AD4ETH by means of a mobile
phone, PDA or another mobile device. WAP is designed with minimum functionality with respect
to the lowest possible data transmission.
WAP is available on the IP address of AD4ETH in the /wap folder. The initial setup of AD4ETH
contains the following address of wap http://192.168.1.254/wap .
It is possible to update WAP automatically after a pre-defined interval. This interval can be set in
the WEB setup in the Other settings tab. The default period is 30 sec.4
WAP is not secured, there is no user name or password required to access it. It is possible to
restrict the display of the values on WAP in the WEB setup in the Security tab.
Fig. 9 – Example of WAP interface opened in a mobile device

AD4ETH
COMMUNICATION VIA TCP/UDP (SPINEL)
With AD4ETH it is possible to communicate via the TCP or UDP data channel using the Spinel
protocol.
Communication protocol Spinel (binary and ASCII format) is described in a separate document
including the examples, which is available for downloading from the AD4ETH WEB page on
http://www.papouch.com/ .
Spinel protocol communication is easy to test and tune with the program Spinel terminal which
is available for the download on the address http://spinel.papouch.com/ .
Fig. 10 – Example of the Spinel terminal program, tunning the communication with AD4ETH
AD4ETH allows the following types of data connection:
TCP server
In the TCP server mode, AD4ETH expects the connection on the data port (set via the WEB
interface in the Local port item). AD4ETH uses this TCP connection to communicate with a
remote device by means of the Spinel protocol.5
5
It is not possible to view the currently set values via the WEB in this mode and it is possible to perform only
some settings via the WEB.
www.papouch.com
Page 15
AD4ETH
Papouch s.r.o.
TCP client
In the TCP client mode, AD4ETH connects automatically to a remote IP address (set in the
Remote IP address) a the port (set in the Remote port). AD4ETH uses this TCP connection to
communicate with a remote device by means of the Spinel protocol.5
UDP
In the UDP mode, the data from AD4ETH is routed to a device with the IP address set in the
Remote IP address item or, without routing, to a required address if the broadcast address of
your network is set as the Remote IP address (a so called “UDP broadcast“). In this case,
AD4ETH communicates with any device which asks.5

AD4ETH
CURRENT VALUES IN XML FORMAT
After the initialization of AD4ETH, it is possible to get current values in the XML format. The file
with the values is available on the IP address of the device in the /data.xml file (the
http://192.168.1.254/data.xml file for a device in the default configuration). This file is secured by
means of a user name and password according to the setup via WEB.6
An example of the file with data in the xml format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-2"?>
<root xmlns="http://www.papouch.com/xml/ad4eth/actualvalues">
<input id="1" unit="V" val="375,5" min="" max="" dot="2" bar="1000" stat="0" name="Generator" />

SENDING THE VALUES BY HTTP PROTOCOL (GET AND POST)
AD4ETH is able to send the measured values to a WEB server on the Internet or company
intranet. The values are then easy to process using the common scripting language (PHP, ASP,
.NET, …), to display, store, analyze, etc.
Sending of the values works in the following way – the path to the server script is entered in the
setup and AD4ETH sends the measured values to it in a pre-defined interval. It is possible to
send values to the server from AD4ETH as a request of the HTTP GET or HTTP POST type (in
the SOAP XML format).
Fig. 11 – Principle of sending the measured values from AD4ETH to a WEB server on the Internet
and then to User’s Web browser
The setup of the sending process is performed in the Sending tab in the configuration via WEB.
(AD4ETH is able to send either POST or GET, not both of them simultaneously.)

AD4ETH
HTTP GET
The HTTP GET request is sent separately for each channel. The the form of the request is
illustrated in the following example:
../ad4.asp?chan=1&unit=V&val=375.50&min=&max=&stat=0&name=Generator&id=
As evident from the example, the request is in a form well-known to web programmers from the
strandard method of form data sending. It eliminates the necessity to learn new methods of
programming and the processing can be handled by the mechanism known from web forms
processing (<form name="myform" action=…).
The request is sent in an interval set in the Sending period item on page 34. Four requests are
sent in the intervals, each with the values from one channel.
The parameters in GET are as follows:
chan ..... channel number (1 to 4)
unit ..... unit (user defined string with the unit)13
val ....... measured value (decimal number recalculated according to the user defined
range)14
min ....... lower limit (decimal number or blank value if not pre-defined)15

INFORMATIVE E-MAILS SENDING
Based on the settings, AD4ETH is able to send e-mails informing the user that limits defined for
individual channels have been exceeded. (Thanks to services provided by operators it is
possible to forward the e-mail easily to a mobile phone as an SMS message.)
The e-mail can be sent to one address. The body of the e-mail contains information defining the
channel in problem, showing the value that has been exceeded and the current value.
The emails can be set in the E-mail tab (see page 28) in the WEB configuration. Here you can
find the setup of the e-mail account as well as the SMTP server authorization (if required). The
function of value monitoring can be set in the cards of individual channels the user wishes to
monitor.

(The version of AD4ETH with the MODBUS TCP protocol does not contain the SNMP protocol.)
The SNMP protocol is used in large companies for the centralized administration and monitoring
of all hardware and technologies. AD4ETH is able to communicate via this protocol and,
according to the setup, It sends SNMP traps when the pre-set critical limits are exceeded. It is
also able to periodically send traps with current values.
A list of tables and their objects for the access over the SNMP protocol follows. SNMP
parameters, including the address of SNMP client, can be set via the WEB interface in the
Administrator mode.

MODBUS PROTOCOL
(The version of AD4ETH with the SNMP protocol does not contain the MODBUS TCP protocol.)
(The version of AD4ETH with the MODBUS TCP protocol does not contain the SNMP protocol.)
MODBUS TCP is a standard industry protocol. AD4ETH is able communicate via this protocol.
For complete information and documentation of the MODBUS TCP protocol see
www.modbus.org .
AD4ETH is able to use the 0x04 code, reading the input registers. The MODBUS enables the
user to read the current status of all the four input channels including the just measured values.
The standard MODBUS port is 502. It can be changed via the WEB interface on the MODBUS
tab.

AD4ETH
Current value reading
This is the way the system reads the last measured value from all or just some of the channels.
It returns values in the form of whole numbers as well as decimal numbers (32bit float pursuant
to IEEE 754).
The values are sent simultaneously in the two formats. The first one is the 16bit value within the
range of 0 to 10 000 (integer in the order of MSB:LSB). The second one is a value recalculated
for the current range based on the current setup as a decimal number in the 32 bit float format
pursuant to IEEE 75424.
(The setup for value recalculation can be carried out via the WEB interface in the tab of the
required channel. See Upper range limit and Lower range limit on page 36.)

KONFIGURACE
AD4ETH can be configured in the following ways:

WEB interface: This interface is accessible from the IP address of the device. The
default IP address is 192.168.1.254.

Telnet: Telnet is accessible from the IP address of the device. The default setup is
192.168.1.254, port 9999. The description of Telnet can be found on page 37.
CONFIGURATION VIA WEB INTERFACE
The WEB interface is accessible from the IP address of the device. The default IP
address is 192.168.1.254. To enter the configuration click on the tool icon on the main
page of the device (see the right picture).
(The interface is optimized for the resolution of at least 1024x768 pixels and for the Explorer 6.0
and 7.0 a Firefox 2.0 browsers)
This interface enables the user to monitor the status of all the inputs and to configure all the
parameters of the device.
The interface security is divided into two levels (each with an individual password). The “user”
level only enables users to view the status of inputs. The “administrator” level also enables the
configuration of the device.
Quick help for the individual setup items is displayed when you scroll the pointer of mouse over
the appropriate input field.

Channel
Here you can set measuring parameters separately for each channel. The standard output from
AD4ETH is a value ranging from 0 to 10 000. AD4ETH is able to recalculate this range into
another one according to user setup. For example, if a pressure sensor is connected, it is
possible to enter its output range and AD4ETH will directly display the measured value
recalculated for example in Pascals. (See the example bellows the figure.)
The input range given by the AD4ETH hardware is displayed next to the channel number.
Fig. 21 – Setup of the measuring input parameters
Example: The pressure sensor with the output of 0 to 10 V is connected to AD4ETH. The
sensor measures the pressure in the range of 0 to 100 kPa with the accuracy of 0,1 kPa. Enter
100 into the Upper range limit field (because 10 V from the sensor stands for 100 kPa). Enter 0
to the Lower range limit field (because the sensor measures from 0 kPa). Enter 1 into the
Number of decimal places for math rounding field (because the sensor measures with the
accuracy of 0,1 kPa). Enter kPa into the Unit field (because the output shall be in kilo Pascals).
AD4ETH will then display values within the range 0,0 to 100,0 kPa.

(This setting is visible only for the channel with the current range of 0 to 20 mA.) Tick the box
only in the case that a sensor with the range of 4 to 20 mA is connected to this current input.
AD4ETH will choose another mechanism of the recalculation which will allow using the whole
resolution of the converter and also detecting the disconnection of the sensor (or value dropping
below the range).
Fig. 22 – Channel with the current input range contains an additional field for the selection of the sensor output
range
Warning: When the channel is switched to “4 to 20 mA”, AD4ETH indicates not only exceeding
the upper but also value dropping below the lower limit if the current is lower than 4 mA. It
means that the drop is indicated also when the sensor is not connected. (Because the current is
null.)

If the MAC address has not been found in the network, the dialogue shown in Figure 6 displays.
fig. 26 – MAC address has not been found
If you are sure the device is property connected to the network and the MAC address has been
entered correctly, click “Yes”. The program will try to send a command for network parameters
reconfiguration to the entered MAC address. A window informing the user whether the setting
has been made successfully or not will appear in a little while.
If yes, the network parameters are now set as required and it is possible to make a connection
via the WEB browser.

INDICATIONS
The device contains three light indicators showing the operational status:
ON
Green light. Lights when the supply voltage is connected.
COM
Yellow indicator. Blinks once after initialization sequence. Then it is flashing during the
communication over Ethernet and in WEB communication mode.
OVR
Red light. Flashes repeatedly when the input range of any channel has been exceeded.
Warning: When the channel is switched to “4 to 20 mA” range, AD4 indicates not only
exceeding the upper limit, but also value dropping below the lower limit if the current is lower
than 4 mA. It means that the drop is indicated also when no sensor is connected (because the
current is zero).
