Watlow F4 Controller setup for Ethernet using Synergy Gateway-Ethernet Module (Modbus TCP)
1. Program the WF4’s serial port parameters to these values: 19200 Baud, and the modbus address to 1 (8 bits
data, No parity, and 1 stop bit are defaults and can not be changed). The modbus address has to match
that used to configure the SynG-Ethernet module (set to 1 by default). These parameters may change
when the SynG-Ethernet module is configured. Note the SynG-Ethernet module will use the WF4’s RS485
port not the RS232.
2. Refer to the “Synergy Gateway App Note” for instructions on how to connect and configure a SynG-Ethernet
for use with a WF4 controller. The Synergy Gateway-Ethernet’s IP Address will be used during port
definition, please remember IP Address for future use. Please see company Lan administrator for
assistance in obtaining an ethernet address.
3. Connect one end of the standard ethernet RJ-45 cable to the SynG-Ethernet’s Ethernet port, then connect the
other end to company local area network. Please see company Lan administrator for assistance.
4. Define a SYNERGY GATEWAY-Ethernet port with SynG-Ethernet IP address from step 2. See ‘Defining A
Port’.
5. Define a WF4 chamber definiton using SYNERGY GATEWAY-Ethernet as the communicationi method using
port defined in step 4. See ‘Defining A Chamber’.
6. After defining the appropriate ports and chamber definition, load and start the chamber definition.
‘Starting A Chamber (Definition)’.
