Mounting
The IFE interface mounts on a DIN rail. The stacking accessory enables the connection of several IFM interfaces to an IFE server without additional wiring.
24 Vdc Power Supply
The IFE interface must always be supplied with 24 Vdc. The power to the IFM interfaces stacked to an IFE server are supplied by the IFE server and it is not necessary to supply power to them separately.
It is recommended to use an UL listed and recognized limited voltage/limited current or a class 2 power supply with a 24 Vdc, 3 A maximum.
Ethernet Communication LEDs
The Ethernet communication dual color LEDs, indicate the status of the Ethernet ports ETH1 and ETH2.

Modbus Serial Line Traffic LED
The Modbus serial line traffic yellow LED, indicates that the traffic is being transmitted or received over the Modbus serial line network through the IFE server.
The LED is ON during the transmission and reception of the messages. The LED is OFF otherwise.
Modbus Address
The IFE interface accepts the Modbus address of the IMU to which it is connected.
The Modbus address is 255 and cannot be changed.
Locking Pad
The locking pad on the front panel of the IFE interface enables or disables the ability to send the remote control commands over the Ethernet network to the IFE interface, and to the other modules of the IMU.
-
If the arrow points to the open padlock (factory setting), remote control commands are enabled.
-
If the arrow points to the closed padlock, remote control commands are disabled.
The only remote control command that is enabled even if the arrow points to the closed padlock, is the set absolute time command.
Test Button
The test button has two functions, according to the duration of the button pressed.
Time Range |
Function |
---|---|
1–5 s |
Tests the connection between all the ULP modules for 15 s. |
10–15 s |
Activates the hidden configuration mode. NOTE: The hidden configuration is not activated
if the button is pressed for more than 15 s.
|
Reset Button
When the reset button is pressed for 1–5 s, it forces the IP acquisition mode to the factory default setting (DHCP).
ULP Status LED
The yellow ULP status LED describes the mode of the ULP module.
