1 General Operation and Applications
The DL6000 hardware platform was designed to be a gateway which interfaces your
Ethernet Modbus TCP Networks to AB’s Data Highway Plus (DH+), or DH-485
networks. Thus extending the life of existing Allen-Bradley PLC’s and SLC’s without
Ethernet Interfaces. It comes in a DC powered Din-Rail Mountable compact cabinet for
ease of portability and installation. The DL6000 combines the Lantronix
XPORT_MBTCP Ethernet Microprocessor with our proven A-B interface.
The DL6000 comes with a RJ-45 Connector for the 10/100 Base-T Ethernet link, and a 3
pin Phoenix plug for connection to A-B networks. Power is supplied via a 3 pin Phoenix
type plug which allows for 9-27 Volts DC to be connected. Included is a RS232 DB9
and a USB Configuration Ports for access to the BIOS and Flash Burn Utilities.
Configuration of the operating parameters is done quickly and easily via the Ethernet
Link by Telnet or the supplied Lantronix Device Installer software. Current releases of
the software can be obtained from Lantronix’s Website.
Modbus TCP communication is handled by any generic Modbus TCP driver, tested ones
include Citect, Parijat, and Kepware.

3 Mode of Operation
3.1 Online Mode of Operation
Online Mode is the normal operating Mode of the DL6000. In this mode the Channels
are now configured as they are defined by the A-B Network and Configuration. The
DL6000 is ready to interface your equipment.
The Reset pushbutton automatically puts the DL6000 into Online mode.
3.2 Offline Mode
Once the Configure Pushbutton is Pressed the Offline BIOS Manager is started. Using
either the EQ32 configuration software and the “DL Offline Manager” option or a
Windows Hyper Terminal type program with com port settings of 19200 Baud, 8,N,1 and
Xon/Xoff flow control.

Restore EEPROM to factory settings
Once pressed you will be asked “Restore EEPROM to defaults (Y/N)?” If the answer
is “Y”es then the Online parameters will be reset to defaults of Address 1, and
settings of 9600,N,8,1 on the communication Channel to the COBOX.
Write New Firmware
Once pressed the message “This *WILL* overwrite DATALINK system code enter
(Y/N) to proceed” will be displayed. Hit “Y” and the next message will appear
telling you that it is alright to send the new firmware to the Flash;

ERASING FLASH, PLEASE WAIT...
SEND FIRMWARE TEXT FILE NOW...
Once the message to send the firmware appears then either click on the “Burn Flash
System File” button to select the .txt file to send, or send the Text File under
HyperTerminal.
Wait for an “*A-OK* BURN COMPLETE!” message to appear.
Memory Dump
This is used to display the RAM memory of the DL6000. This should only be done
after contacting Equustek Solutions to debug problems.
Off-Line Diagnostics
Starts a series of tests to test the DL6000’s hardware and should only be done if
instructed so by a trained person.
Debug Mode
Starts up a DL6000 internal Debug mode that can be used by trained personnel to
debug problems and check hardware configuration and operation.
Firmware Version
Once selected the current DL6000 model and version numbers will be displayed. Can
be used to check the correct firmware was burnt into the Flash or if the DL6000 has
the most up to date firmware in the Flash.
Online
Does a soft “software” reset of the unit to put it online. This will NOT reset the
COBOX (Ethernet) hardware.

4 Switch and LED Indicator Functions
4.1 Switch Functions
Reset Pushbutton
The Reset pushbutton will perform a complete hardware reset of the DL6000. It is
identical to a complete power cycle and will cause the DL6000 to go through its LED
start-up sequence as defined in Section 5.2.1. A complete hardware reset is needed on
changing any online operating parameters.
Configure Pushbutton
The Configure pushbutton takes the DL6000 out of On-Line operation mode and puts it
in the BIOS Manager mode. When this mode has been entered, CHA and CHC LEDs
will be RED and CHB LED will be GREEN. To put the unit back On-line it is necessary
to either press the Reset or cycle the DC power supplied to the DL6000.
4.2 Indicator Functions
4.2.1 Power-Up and Reset Sequence
On Power-up or after the Reset button has been pressed the DL6000 executes a self
diagnostic check-up or the ram and flash firmware. The correct LED indicator sequence
to show the DL6000 is functioning properly is as follows: After all LEDS go out.
LED Status
Power Green Continuously
CHC LED (Status) Green for 0.5 seconds
CHB LED (Ethernet) Green for 0.5 seconds
CHA LED (A-B Network) Green for 5 seconds
CHA LED Green for
An other 8 seconds
CHB LED Red for
After this sequence the DL6000 goes into the On-line mode of Operation. The LED
indicators will behave in the certain way defined by the DL6000 model used. Most likely
the A-B Network will be solid or flashing depending on the A-B Network used.

4.2.2 Normal On-line Operation
The following is a description of the normal operation of the LED’s on the DL6000.
LEFT LED’s Description of Operation
Power Green Indicates Power is being supplied to the DL6000.
(Ethernet) Flashes GREEN for 0.5 seconds when a character is Received or
Transmitted. If Characters are being received of transmitted faster
than this then it might appear the LED is on SOLID. Flashes RED
for 0.5 seconds if a NAK is received or transmitted. Will also
flash if all serial communication buffers are full.
A-B Network (DH+ )
On Hardware Reset will flash GREEN and RED until a valid DH+
network is detected. This is the AUTO BAUD Rate detection
mode, the DL6000 will automatically connect at the DH+ speeds
of 57.6K, 115.2K and 230.4K Baud. LED will switch to on solid
once the DL6000 is on the DH+ network as a valid node address.
LED will flash GREEN when the DH+ is set to a certain Baud rate
but is not on network.
(DH-485)
On Hardware reset the A-B Network will flash GREEN at a 1
second rate when the DH-485 is not on network. Once a valid
network is running the LED will flash GREEN much more rapidly
(approx. every 0.1 seconds), the rate depends on how busy the
network is.
Status Used for Determining Operating Mode and DL6000 Status
RJ45 LED’s Description of Operation
Activity LED Blinks (amber 10BaseT) or (green 100BaseT) to
indicate an Ethernet socket has been established and
active.
Link LED Lights Solid Amber or Green to indicate Ethernet
Port is connected to the 10/100Base-T network.
