SkyVUE Pro Ethernet Option

Document Date: March 2020

Document Issue: 1

CSL I.D - 1337

Summary

This document describes the configuration of a MOXA 5230A-T Ethernet adapter which has been

pre-installed in a SkyVUE Pro ceilometer. It should be read in combination with the User Guides for

the SkyVUE Pro and MOXA NPort 5000 Ethernet converter.

The Ethernet adaptor is setup as a TCP terminal server, which allows connection to the sensor over

an Ethernet connection, using software such as Campbell Scientific’s Viewpoint software. Any

commands that are described in the SkyVUE Pro that can be sent via the serial output can be sent via

the IP socket.

The SkyVUE Pro serial output can be converted back to standard serial (RS232/RS485) use by moving

cables inside the sensor as described below. When converted back the standard communications

cable at the base of sensor can be used as described in the SkyVUE Pro manual.

The hardware is shown in the internal view above. The Ethernet module is installed within the

SkyVUE Pro. It has serial connection (RS485) from the SkyVUE Pro and obtains power from it.

A special cable gland is fitted in the base of the SkyVUE Pro to allow a standard Ethernet cable,

pre-fitted with an RJ45 connector to be routed into the enclosure and plugged into the Ethernet

adaptor fitted inside the enclosure.

Note: RJ45 connectors which have large over mouldings may not fit through the gland.

The Ethernet cable should be

passed through the cable gland as

shown. Note that it may be

necessary to increase the diameter

of the cable, for example with heat

shrink sleeving or rubber sleeves,

to ensure a good seal around the

cable when the gland is tightened.

To convert the ceilometer back to

a standard serial connection swap

over the serial to MOXA cable

with the serial output cable as

shown.

Settings for SkyVUE Pro and Ethernet convertor as shipped

1) As supplied the SkyVUE Pro is connected for Ethernet use. It is setup for connection to the Ethernet

convertor using RS485 half-duplex mode, other settings are defaults. RS485 mode is used to allow

parallel connection of a local serially connected PC or datalogger, contact Campbell Scientific for

more information of these options.

2) The Moxa convertor as supplied is set to operate in “TCP” terminal server mode. The Moxa Interface

is set to communicate via serial port 1, using RS-485 2-wire mode. Other settings, which are the

defaults match the SkyVUE Pro defaults settings, e.g. baud rate etc.

3) The Moxa Ethernet port is set to its default static IP address of 192.168.127.254 with the SkyVUE Pro

connected to serial port 1 which is mapped to TCP port 4001 at that IP address.

4) The user will usually need to change the settings to suit their network. It may be necessary to change

the Ethernet mask and enter a gateway too (check with local IT support). It is also possible to

configure the Moxa to allow multiple remote connections to be made to the same sensor.

5) To change these settings, connect a PC to the Ethernet socket on the Moxa convertor and

communicate with it using a web browser using the address: http://192.168.127.254. The PC will

need to be configured so its IP settings allows it to connect to the 192.168.127.254 as a local

address. Once connected a web based menu system will be presented which allows you to change

the IP address of the box and setup security settings to prevent further unauthorised changes. If you

are not familiar with the setup of terminal servers please refer to the Moxa User manual, which can

be downloaded from here:

https://www.moxa.com/en/support/product-support/software-and-documentation

The model supplied is normally the 5230A-T. This has a second serial port which can be used to

connect other sensors or a datalogger to the same Ethernet connection.

Note: The SkyVUE Pro can be configured for message type, message interval and other parameters

using the USB port without disturbing any communications settings.
