H2-CTRIO(2)
H2-CTRIO(2) Overview
The H2-CTRIO(2) Counter I/O (CTRIO) module is designed to accept high-speed pulse
input signals for counting or timing applications. This module also provides high-speed
pulse output signals for servo/stepper motor control, monitoring and alarming as well as other
discrete control functions.
The H2-CTRIO(2) module offers greater flexibility for applications which call for precise
counting or timing based on input events or for high-speed control output applications. They
can also be used for applications that call for a combination of both high-speed input and highspeed output control functions.
The H2-CTRIO(2) module has its own internal microprocessor and operates asynchronously
with respect to the CPU. Therefore, the response time of the on-board outputs is based on
the module scan time, not the CPU’s scan time (unless the CPU is controlling the outputs
directly).
H2-CTRIO2 Terminal Block Layout
NOTE: The H2-CTRIO module has been discontinued. Please use the H2-CTRIO2 modules as the
replacement. H2-CTRIO and H2-CTRIO modules have the same terminal block layout.

The H2-CTRIO(2) module has two
independent input channels, each consisting of
four optically isolated input points (pts. 1A-1D
on common 1M and pts. 2A-2D on common
2M). The inputs can be wired to either sink or
source current.
The module has four optically isolated output
points (Y0-Y3 with isolated commons C0-C3,
respectively) that can be wired to either sink
or source current. Remember that the internal
jumpers can be used to connect the input
commons or output commons together.

When wiring CTRIO(2) modules, please consider the following:
•
•
•
•

Keep encoder input wiring as short as possible
Route wiring to avoid any runs parallel to noisy cables.
Route wiring to avoid the proximity of noisy devices.
Use shielded, twisted pair cables, such as:

WARNING: The above example assumes that the Step Amplifier interface is made up of optocoupler
LEDs (common anodes at the “OPTO Power” terminal) with internal current limiting resistors. This is
a standard method, but you must consult your step amplifier documentation to ensure that this method
is applicable.

H2-ECOM100 Overview
The H2-ECOM100 Ethernet Communication (ECOM) module provides high-speed
Ethernet connections for the Do-more PLC. These modules are easy to set up and install on
10/100BaseT (twisted pair, copper wire) Ethernet networks.
LEDs on the face of each module give vital information about the status of the module and
the communications link. The 10/100BaseT modules use standard RJ45 modular connectors.
You can use the ECOM modules to share data between two or more Do-more PLCs or between
Do-more PLCs and personal computers. The H2- ECOM100 additionally allows client/
server communications with other Ethernet devices using the MODBUS TCP/IP protocol.
Communication between PLCs and MODBUS TCP/IP devices is accomplished by using the
MRX/MWX instructions.
You can use a personal computer equipped with a 10/100BaseT network adapter card and
NetEdit3 software to configure the ECOM module over the network. Once configured, the
H2-ECOM100 module allows you to program your Do-more PLC over the Ethernet network
using the Do-more Designer programming software. The NetEdit3 utility installs with the
Do-more Designer software and can be very useful for troubleshooting certain communication
problems.
NOTE: We recommend using a dedicated network for your PLC control applications.

H2-ECOM100 Network Identifiers
Each module must be assigned at least one unique identifier to make it possible for other devices
to recognize it on the network. There are four identifiers possible with the ECOM modules:
• Module ID
• Name
• IP (Internet Protocol) Address
• Ethernet (MAC) Address
The first three are user selectable but the MAC address is set at the factory. The type of identifier
chosen depends on the requirements of your particular application. PC-to-PLC communication
typically uses one type of identifier while PLC-to-PLC communication may require another. The
following table summarizes Network Identifiers and their uses:

Name
A Name makes it easy to recognize the PLC by its function. An example of a Name is
“PumpStationOne”, as seen in the diagram below. The Name can be up to 32 alphanumeric
characters in length.
NOTE: Some HMI software products will not accept Names with numbers as the first character, spaces or
certain other non-alphanumeric ASCII characters. Also, your HMI product may not accept Names longer
than 16 characters. Consult your HMI product documentation about its naming conventions.

IP Address
An IP Address can be
assigned to the ECOM
module if your network
requires one. Usually, the IP
Address is required in cases
where PLCs are sharing the
same network with PCs, and
some of the PCs are carrying
out functions unrelated to
PLC control. Normally, a
network administrator will
assign an IP Address to each
device on the network. Use
NetEdit3 to configure the
assigned IP address to the
ECOM.

Chapter 7: Specifications - Specialty Modules
NOTE: You must use an IP address if you are using the UDP/IP or Modbus TCP protocol.

The module ships from the factory with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is not a usable IP
Address for normal communication. It only serves as a default setting which can be changed
using NetEdit3. The valid setting for each field is 1 through 254. You do not have to change
the default IP Address unless you are using the IP Address to link to your ECOM module. The
default setting does not cause conflicts with other network communications. If you change the
default IP Address for linking to other network devices, you must change all four “0” fields.
Example IP Addresses - If the Client (PC/ECOM) Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0 and the Client
has an IP Address of 192.168.50.2, then the following are valid Server IP Addresses:
• 192.168.55.5 - Valid Server ECOM IP Address
• 192.168.70.15 - Valid Server ECOM IP Address
The subnet mask determines which fields must match by assigning a 255 to that field. In the example
above, the first two fields are masked with a 255, therefore valid Server IP Addresses must match the first
two fields of the Client IP or 192.168. The last two fields are allowed to vary because they are masked
with a “0”.
WARNING: It is extremely important not to have duplicate IP Addresses on your network. If you are
using the IP Address to link the ECOM to any network devices (PCs or PLCs), the ECOM must have a
unique number.

Ethernet (MAC) Address
A unique Ethernet (MAC) Address is assigned to each module at the factory and will not
on a label attached to each ECOM module. The Ethernet (MAC)
Address is recognized by NetEdit3. The Ethernet (MAC) Address is a twelve digit number
with no deliberate relationship to your network or functional areas of your plant. Typically, the
MAC address is not a convenient and easily remembered identifier for your ECOM module.

The ECOM Ethernet network is a peer-to-peer network. Using Read (RX) or Write (WX)
instructions, any PLC on the network can initiate communications with any other PLC on the
network. A PC running our KEPDirect software can also initiate communications with any
ECOM that is on the same network, but a PLC cannot initiate communication with the PC.
An ECOM can sequence through communication connections with each PLC on the network,
one at a time.
The ECOM products inherently support two network layouts:
point-to-point and star. The point-to-point layout can be
used to link together two PLCs or a PC and a PLC. A switch
connects multiple networkable devices into a star topology.
Multiple switches are used to modify the star topology so that
it becomes a star-bus-star topology. See the figures below

The cable used to connect a PLC (or PC) to an Ethernet switch is called a patch (straightthrough) cable. The cable used to connect together two PLCs, a PC and a PLC, or two
switches is a crossover cable. We recommend that you purchase cables pre-assembled with
connectors for convenient and reliable networking.

NOTE: The above diagram illustrates the standard wire positions in the RJ45 connector. We recommend
all ECOM 10/100BaseT cables to be Category 5, UTP cable.

The maximum distance per 10/100BaseT cable segment is 100 meters or 328 feet. Switches
allow multiple 100 meter cable segments to be joined together increasing the allowable distance.
For example, two switches connected together adds an additional 200 meters to the system, for
a total range of 300 meters.

Maximum Number of ECOM Modules on the Network
The maximum number of nodes that can be connected to a 10/100BaseT network is a function
of the topology used in constructing the network. Therefore, it is not possible to state an
absolute maximum number of nodes that would apply in all cases.
The IEEE 802.3 specification defines the maximum node limit for an Ethernet segment in
terms of the ability to detect and avoid data collisions. A “legal” network can have any number
of devices provided that they can:
• Detect all data collisions that may occur during the communication process and
• Respond to these collisions appropriately.

You must take into consideration the network limitations imposed by all cabling and network
devices. Consider the limitations imposed on your network if your network uses:
• A combination of cabling standards, such as 10/100 BaseT and 10Base2, or
• Intermediate devices, such as switches or routers.

Do-more H2 Series PLC User Manual, 1st Edition, Rev. E - H2-DM-M

Chapter 7: Specifications - Specialty Modules
Each ECOM module can be assigned a Module ID ranging from 1 to 999,999,999.
Theoretically, you could have this many Ethernet modules coexisting on a single network.
Other network limitations would restrict the network size before reaching this limit. For the
majority of network PLC applications there is practically no limit to the number of ECOM
modules you can access from the NetEdit3 or Do-more Designer software. There is a node
limit for PLC-to-PLC communications. The network Read and Write instructions performed
by the initiating (master) PLC are only capable of accessing PLCs with Module IDs of 1
through 90. This effectively sets the maximum number of nodes available for PLC-to-PLC
communications at 90.
WARNING: We recommend against connecting Ethernet modules to the same network that serves as
your primary office network. While Ethernet networks can handle a very large number of data
transmissions, and normally handle them very quickly, heavy Ethernet traffic can adversely affect the
reliability and speed of the network.

NOTE: The H2-ERM module has been discontinued. The H2-ERM100 is the replacement module.

H2-ERM(100) Overview
Expanding I/O beyond the local chassis is useful for a system which has a sufficient number of
sensors and other field devices located a relatively long distance from the CPU. The Ethernet
Remote Master H2‑ERM(100) connects Do-more CPU systems to slave I/O over a highspeed Ethernet link.
Each ERM module can support up to 16 H2-EBC systems, 16 Terminator I/O EBC systems,
or 16 fully expanded H4-EBC systems. Of course, combinations are fine, too.
NOTE: Applications requiring an extremely large number of T1H-EBC analog I/O or H4-EBC 16-channel
analog I/O, could exceed the buffer capacity of a single H2-ERM(100) module. In these cases, an
additional H2-ERM(100) may be required.

The ERM connects to your control network using Category 5 UTP cables for cable runs up
to 100 meters (328ft). Use Ethernet switches to extend distances and expand the number of
nodes.
The PLC, ERM and EBC slave modules work together to update the remote I/O points.
These three scan cycles are occurring at the same time, but asynchronously. Critical I/O
points that must be monitored every scan are best placed in the CPU base.
It is highly recommended that a dedicated Ethernet remote I/O network be used for the ERM
and its slaves. While Ethernet networks can handle a large number of data transactions, and
normally handle them very quickly, heavy Ethernet traffic can adversely affect the reliability
of the slave I/O and the speed of the I/O network. Ensure ERM networks, multiple ERM
networks and ECOM/office networks are isolated from one another.

The Ethernet Base Controller (EBC) serves as an interface between the master control system
and remote I/O modules. The control function is performed by the master controller, not
the EBC slave. The EBC occupies the CPU slot in the base and communicates across the
10/100BASE-T
backplane to input and output modules. The function of the EBC is to: ETHERNET

• Module ID
• IP (Internet Protocol) Address
• Ethernet (MAC) Address

Module ID
Always set the ERM module ID to 0. A slave EBC Module ID can be set in one of two ways:
• Use the DIP switches on the module (1-63).
• Use the configuration tools in NetEdit3 (1-65535).

Set the Module ID using the DIP switches if you wish to be able to install and change slave
modules without using a PC. The Module ID equals the sum of the binary values of the slide
switches set in the ON position. For example, if slide switches 1, 2 and 3 are set to the ON
position, the Module ID will be 14. This is found by adding 8+4+2=14. The maximum value
which can be set on the DIP switch is 32+16+8+4+2=63. This is achieved by setting switches
0 through 5 to the ON position. The 6 and 7 switch positions are inactive.

An IP Address can be assigned to the ERM module or its slaves if your network requires one.
Normally, a network administrator will assign an IP Address to each device on the network.
Since it is recommended to use a separate dedicated network for your ERM , you do not have
to use the IP Address, unless you are using the UDP/IP protocol. Use the Module ID or
Ethernet Address for each module when using the IPX protocol. You can use NetEdit3 within
the ERM Workbench utility to give the ERM or its slave modules an IP Address. Each ERM
and slave must have a unique IP Address.
The module ships from the factory with an IP Address of 255.255.255.255. This is not a
usable IP Address for normal communications. It only serves as a default setting which can be
changed using NetEdit3. The valid settings are 0 through 254. You do not have to change
the default IP Address unless you are using IP Address protocol. The default setting does not
cause conflicts with other network communications. If you change the default IP Address for
linking to other network devices, you must change all four “255” fields. If any field contains
the number 255 and other fields have been changed, the module will not be recognized on the
network.
Example IP Addresses
• 192.168.55.5 - Valid IP Address
• 255.168.55.5 - Not Valid
WARNING: It is extremely important not to have duplicate IP Addresses on your network. If you are
using the IP Address, all modules must have a unique number.

Ethernet (MAC) Address
A unique Ethernet (MAC) Address is assigned to each module at the factory and will not
change. It is printed on a label attached to each ERM/EBC module. The Ethernet (MAC)
Factory-assigned
Ethernet (MAC)
(MAC) Address
Address is recognized by NetEdit3.
The Ethernet
Address is a twelve digit number
with no deliberate relationship to your network or functional areas of your plant. Typically,
the MAC address is not a convenient and easily remembered identifier for your ERM/EBC
module.

Using Multiple Network Identifiers
You can use IP Addresses to satisfy network requirements and Module IDs for PLCs to share
data among themselves. Using one type of identifier does not limit your use of the other
identifier types.

Chapter 7: Specifications - Specialty Modules

H2-ERM(100)/H2-EBC100 Network Layouts
Each ERM module can support up to 16 remote slaves. The slaves supported are the
H4–EBC, H2–EBC, T1H–EBC, GS–EDRV100 and HA–EDRV2. Use a PC equipped with
a 10/100BaseT network adapter card and the Ethernet Remote Master (ERM) Workbench
software configuration utility to configure the ERM module and its slaves over the Ethernet
remote I/O network. Once the ERM I/O network is configured and running, the PC can be
removed from the network.

10/100 BaseT Networks
The cable used to connect a PLC (or PC) to an Ethernet switch is called a patch (straightthrough) cable. The cable used to connect together two PLCs, a PC and a PLC, or two
switches is a crossover cable. We recommend that you purchase cables pre-assembled with
connectors for convenient and reliable networking.

NOTE: The above diagram illustrates the standard wire positions in the RJ45 connector. We recommend
all ECOM 10/100BaseT cables to be Category 5, UTP cable.

Chapter 7: Specifications - Specialty Modules
Cable Lengths
The maximum distance per 10/100BaseT cable segment is 100 meters or 328 feet. Switches
allow multiple 100 meter cable segments to be joined together increasing the allowable distance.
For example, two switches connected together adds an additional 200 meters to the system, for
a total range of 300 meters.

H2-SERIO(-4) Overview
With the H2-SERIO, three additional RS-232 ports can be added to your Do-more system. On
the other hand, the H2-SERIO-4 can give you two additional RS-232 ports and one RS-485 or
RS-422 port. As many as eight of these modules may be added to the local base, adding up to
24 serial ports (there is no means of using these modules in Ethernet remote bases).
The serial ports of the H2-SERIO(-4) support the following functions which can be selected
in the Module Configuration of the Do-more software (as seen below):
• D
 o-more Programming - Select this option to setup the port to work with the Do-more Designer
programming software.
• K
 Sequence - Select this option to have the port respond to client devices running K Sequence
protocol.
• M
 odbus RTU Server - Select this option to have the port respond to client devices running
Modbus/RTU protocol.
• M
 odbus RTU Client - Select this option to make the port available for use by the Do-more
controller’s Modbus Network Read (MRX) and Modbus Network Write (MWX) instructions.
• G
 eneral Purpose - Select this option to make the port available for use by the Do-more controller’s
Input String from Device (STREAMIN) and Output String to Device (STREAMOUT)
instructions.

Baud rates, parity and communication bit settings are accessible by selecting the Device
Settings... button located below the General Purpose selection or through the Device
Configuration section of the System Configuration window. Baud rates up to 115,200 are
supported.
