Introduction  
The infrared connection provides a non-intrusive wireless connection with the  
instrument and maintains NEMA4X AND IP66 integrity.  
No need to get access to the back of the instrument to communicate with the  
instrument, no need to take your screw driver to wire the communication cable, no  
wiring mistake possible. You can now duplicate an instrument’s configuration,  
upload or download a new configuration in a matter of seconds, just by pointing  
your Pocket PC in the direction of the instrument.  
It takes just a few seconds to upload a configuration from an instrument. You can then  
save the configuration file onto your PC or pocket PC for review, modification or  
archiving. Furthermore, this software also gives you important maintenance information  
on the instrument: instantly get information on the current operating parameters, digital  
inputs and alarm status, identify internal or analog input problems.

The Infrared transmitter is located no more than 0.3 meters (1 foot) away from the  
process instrument.  
Process instrument:  
-
The process instrument is configured with an Infrared port (Infrared on the UDC2500  
is optional; Non Infrared units can be configured using the test jack port, RS485 or  
Ethernet).  
-
-
-
-
The process instrument’s device address must match the device address in the P.I.E.  
Communications Setup.  
The process instrument’s Infrared port must be enabled through its communications  
menu.  
Any button must be pressed on the process instrument to enable the Infrared port for  
4 minutes.  
There are no obstructions between the Infrared transmitter and the process  
instrument.  
P.I.E.:  
-
There is only one process instrument with the device address selected in the P.I.E.  
Communication Setup.  
-

3.1.8 Ethernet Q&A  
Q: How can I find the address of my Honeywell instrument?  
A: The Ethernet address information that has been set in the instrument can be retrieved  
by using P.I.E. to upload a product configuration upload using IR communication. After  
the upload you can view the Ethernet group and see the Ethernet information. An  
alternate way is to use P.I.E. and initiate an online configuration through IR  
communication. This function does an initial upload of the current configuration from the  
instrument and displays the groups. The Ethernet information can be viewed from the  
Ethernet group.  
The above cannot be done through RS485 communication because when the Ethernet  
board is plugged in, the RS485 option is not available.  
The default Ethernet information for a UDC as shipped from the factory is IP 10.0.0.2,  
Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 0.0.0.0.  
Q: How do I know what IP Address to use?  
A: The default IP address provided from the factory is 10.0.0.2 on the UDC. Since IP  
addresses must be unique, you will need reset the IP address for multiple instruments or  
if the instrument is going to be placed on a LAN. Multiple instruments on a local net  
could be set at 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.4, etc. If you want to put the instrument on a  
LAN, you need to obtain available IP addresses from your IT group.  
Q: How do I know what Mask to use?  
A: The mask on the UDC is normally set to 255.255.255.0 since the first (3) numbers in  
the IP address are typically the same for instruments on the same subnet.  
Q: How do I know what Gateway to use?  
A: The gateway information is the IP address of the router which would route the TCP/IP  
traffic to the appropriate destination IP address. Every network has a gateway routing  
device that holds the routing table for that network which specifies how to route TCP/IP  
packets between network devices.  
In the P.I.E. and UDC case, if the PC on which the P.I.E. is running and UDC are  
connected to a LAN, then the gateway should have the IP Address of the router that  
manages the LAN subnetwork. In the case of the PC on which the P.I.E. is running being  
connected directly to the UDC with a crossed Ethernet cable, then the gateway IP address  
can be set to "0.0.0.0". The normal procedure is to copy the first three bytes of the IP  
address from the PC and set the last byte to 1. For example, if the IP address of the PC is  
set to 10.2.3.4 then set the gateway IP address to be 10.2.3.1.  
Q: How do I know what SMTP address to use?  
A: The SMTP address is used for outgoing emails. This address is specific to your LAN  
configuration and can be obtained from your IT group.  
Q: Why can’t I communicate with my controller after I changed the controller’s IP  
address?  
A: The arp table in your desktop PC needs to be reset by typing “arp-d” in the DOS  
command window. Also, changes to Ethernet parameters may take up to 60 seconds to  
take effect.

NN is firmware version (01,02,...)  
m is m'th instance of the healthwatch saved.

Healthwatch file when saved for a 2500 unit with firmware version '01'.
