1. Install two M3 screws at a horizontal distance of 3.937” (100mm) apart at the required height. 2. Mount the StationPortal on the two screws using mounting tabs provided at the top of the unit. Tighten the screws if required.
There is no additional indication if the power supply fuse blows. The fuse is not user-replaceable. Power Cord Retainer A clip is provided on the StationPortal unit to provide retention for a few types of power cords. Warning Electrical Shock Hazard: To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment, ensure that the power cord is disconnected from AC input power during the installation of the power cord and power cord retainer clip.
Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY supports a native interface to the StationPortal that acts as a client. Details on the number and types of devices that a CIMPLICITY instance can support are described in the CIMPLICITY documentation.
TXD1 Ground Note: When StationPortal unit is configured to check Even or Odd parity and equipment at the other end of serial communication is configured for opposite parity setting, few characters will be received by StationPortal unit which result in equal parity.

To access the Reset pushbutton, press the Reset pushbutton for 3 seconds. Lamps and Lenses The StationPortal includes three lamps. Each lamp is individually configurable for one of three states – off, on, or blinking. All lens covers are interchangeable and can be removed by turning them counterclockwise.
At the command prompt, type the following to access the configuration menu: > telnet <IP address> Example: > telnet 192.168.0.35 Where <IP address> is the IP address of the StationPortal unit. The Default IP address of StationPortal is 192.168.0.35. StationPortal Hardware User’s Guide – February 2010...

Error Handling Error Possible Causes Station Portal Behavior Serial Transmit Buffer When the serial data rate received Blink code “21” Overflow from the client application is faster Blink the Top LED twice (“2”) than device transmit rate. Wait for 2sec (Gap between “2” and “1”).
Troubleshooting Guidelines Problem Suggested Remedy StationPortal unit does not respond to Check StationPortal unit is powered on and "Status" LED is commands from the client blinking. Check Ethernet cable is connected properly. Check IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway address are set properly from the hardware configuration menu.
Isolation (input (L,N) to Earth): 250 VAC continuous; 1500 VAC for 1 minute The Inrush Current specification is given as a guide for sizing the external power source for the StationPortal. Peak inrush current may be higher for shorter durations. Functional Serial Communication...
IP20 Rated temperature limits refer to the ambient air temperature immediately surrounding (within 3” - 7.6 cm) the StationPortal where it is mounted. Provisions for remaining within the stated limits must be considered where additional external thermal loads are imposed on the StationPortal. These could include large heat producing motor drives or power supplies in the same cabinet.
