mailto:[email protected]


1.2 Electrical installation

Sevio Basic

Sevio One

The Sevio Basic’s power supply connector is in the bottom. It requires 8 to 30 V DC and the maximum

absorption at minimum voltage is 1 A.

We suggest protecting the power supply with a time-delay fuse (not greater than 2 A) and to ground the

terminal.

1.3 Ethernet ports

Sevio Basic Sevio One

The network field devices (PLC, HMI, and any other IP device) are connected to the Sevio Basic RJ45

connectors numbered 1-4 or to the Sevio One LAN port.

Both MDI and MDIX cables can be used.

The Sevio Router Ethernet ports self-network speed/duplex and support 10, 100, 1000 Mbit/s. (Sevio

Basic).

One or more switches can be cascaded to increase the number of nodes in compliance with the Ethernet

standard up to a maximum configuration of 253 IP devices.

Automatic crossover adaptation is supported but not recommended if not necessary as it limits the speed

to 100 Mbit/s.

The door marked WAN is used to connect the Sevio Router to an Internet access point or to connect the

router directly to an ADSL modem.

1.4 USB port

Sevio Basic

Sevio One

The Sevio Basic’s USB port is in the bottom, the Sevio One’s USB port is on the top. There is a USB port

that can be used to connect the device to the internet with the Mobile Broadband Modem option (only

Sevio Basic).

The USB port may also be used to configure the Sevio Router offline through an appropriately configured

USB flash drive. (see chapter Changing parameters offline)

1.5 Reset button

Do not press without being instructed by our technical support, incorrect operation may require a factory

restore.


1.6 Diagnostics

The description of the LED indicators on the device is below. These provide the user with important

information.

Power

This indicator flashes when the boot operation is in progress and remains steady once the Sevio Router is completely started.

Wi-Fi

Note: Indicator only present on Sevio Basic.

In Access Point mode the indicator is on steady if at least one device is connected to the LAN. When Sevio Basic is operating in Station mode, the steady LED means that the device is connected to an Access Point.

Info

The light turns on if the virtual private network (VPN) is active. Since that time the device can be reached remotely.

Note: On Sevio One the flashing indicate the change of a parameter.

Ethernet

All of the Ethernet ports on the Sevio Router are connected to a light that is on and steady if a device is connected and flashes when there is traffic.

NOTE: Remember that the VPN status could show active up to a few minutes after connection has been

lost.


2 The Realm

The Sevio system was created to provide the Customer with a solution for connecting to several

independent and physically spread out networks, transforming them in several Sevio networks. Each

customer owns a Realm, or the infrastructure made up of all of the Sevio networks and the Control

Stations (PC, tablet, smartphone).

Inside a single Realm, each device with IP connectivity can be reached by the Control Stations and can

talk to other local or remote devices.

Associating the Sevio Router to the Realm

A Sevio Router is associated to the Realm using Sevio Portal, the Sevio system web application

accessible on the webpage https://sevio.it.

The Sevio Router is associated to the Realm during the Registering a new Realm or, for later Sevio

Routers directly from the Sevio Portal in the section Add Device.

Associating the Control Stations with the Realm

Control Stations are devices (PC, tablet, smartphone...) that are used to access the Sevio Networks. Even

Control Stations do not need any software so they can use any operating system. To use it and for the first

configuration, an Internet access point is required (see chapter Configuring Control Stations).

4.7 The Control Stations

When configuring a Control Station, regardless of the operating system used, the following data is

required:

Internet address: vpn.sevio.it

Username and Password: the same one used to access to Sevio Portal.

One of the advantages of the Sevio system is that it gives the user the ability to access the Realm from

different Control Stations if configured appropriately (see chapter Configuring Control Stations) using the

parameters provided above.

To access it simultaneously from different PCs, tables, or smartphones, just create additional credentials

to be associated to the new posts on the Sevio Portal in the Accesses section, as indicated below.

Creating a new Control Station

Access in the Accesses section and press Create new access button.

Insert the description of the new Control Station and press Save.

Use the Username generated to configure the VPN on the new Control Station.

Changing a Control Station

From the Control Stations list you can access the properties and change (with double-click) the description

or remove it by pressing Delete.


4.8 The Operators

In the Operators area, the Admin may invite other Users and set their access privileges: a User invited as an

Admin can access all of the Sevio devices in the Realm, an external integrator or final customer may have

access to preset systems with limited privileges.

Roles

The primary differences between the Admin and a regular User are listed below:

Select the role (Admin or User) to assign to the Operator.

The role can be changed at any time as indicated in Edit an Operator.

Establish whether the Operator can access all or any Sevio network. Typically, no network is selected for the User and the desired accesses are enabled through the Firewall section.

When Invite! button is pressed a confirmation message appears.

The new operator will receive an email with instructions for completing the registration procedure. At this

point the new user will automatically be added to the list of Realm Operators.

Edit an Operator

From the Operator list you can access the Operator properties and change the role, with double-click. The

Operator can be removed from the Realm using the Delete button.


4.9 Firewall

In the Firewall area the Admin operator can determine the accesses to the specific Sevio network. It is also

possible to authorize interaction between several Sevio networks needed, for example, to enable the

dialogue between two PLCs of two geographically separate systems.

The Firewall properties for each Sevio Router can be customized through the Sevio Portal as indicated

below:

From the Devices section, select the specific Sevio Router whose Firewall you wish to edit.

In the Firewall section you can enable or disable Operators and other Sevio Routers for access to the Sevio network of the router being edited.

When Save is pressed, the changes are saved and propagated to the Sevio Router being edited.

4.10 Multi Realm Operators

Sevio Portal supports multi Realm management, or the possibility for the Operator to participate in several

Realms. Just access Sevio Portal using his credentials and, as shown in the figure below, select the desired

Realm.


5 Sevio Router on location

Sevio is a system that offers many functions, each one created as a response to the customer's needs,

working with them in all phases of setting up a system, requesting the minimum amount of operations and

ensuring the best results.

Sevio Router comes preconfigured and ready to use. However, using Sevio Portal you can change the

factory settings, locally or remotely.


DHCP Server

Sevio Router is preconfigured as a DHCP server on the LAN. This means it can automatically assign

addresses to devices connected to LAN network or to the Wi-Fi network (only on Sevio Basic).

Gigabit Switch (only on Sevio Basic)

Sevio Basic is a Gigabit industrial Switch that ensures traffic with high data volumes at high speed thanks

to the 4 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T ethernet ports, both in full-duplex and half-duplex

mode. Sevio Basic supports the self-adaptation of MDI/MDIX cables, completely eliminated the use of

crossover cables. The ports can automatically recognize the type of device connected and automatically

adapt the Tx and Rx polarity.

Wi-Fi (only on Sevio Basic)

There are two distinct scenarios with the Wi-Fi network:

Access Point mode allows access to the LAN (the field network) from any properly authenticated

device with a wireless card such as a PC for programming devices, a Tablet for test operations on the

system, or a smartphone for surfing the Internet.

Station mode, allows Sevio Basic to be directly connected to the Wi-Fi network in the installation

location equipped with Internet access. This access can also be through a MOBILE HOTSPOT generated

by a common smartphone.

Sevio Basic is preconfigured in Access Point mode so, without changing the configuration, just select the

network indicated in the Registration Sheet document to then be authenticated with the special password.

6 Sevio Router access

Sevio Router access requires an Internet connection in the system installation location, using the

computer network or a mobile connection.

When the LED on the Sevio Router is on, the system is connected.

6.1 Internet access through Mobile Broadband Modem

In order to make a mobile connection, the optional Modem supplied by Sevio S.r.l. is required along with a

SIM set up for data traffic.

From Devices section, through Sevio Portal, select the specific Sevio Router

Click on Modify , set the APN for the telephone company and the SIMcard PIN if applicable.

Save the current configuration and, for the Sevio Router Online, the parameters are updated automatically.

NOTE: we recommend removing the PIN from the data SIM beforehand and leaving the PIN parameter empty on Sevio Portal.

For Sevio Offline:

Download the configuration you just edited using the Offline Configuration button;

Save the file to an empty USB flash drive formatted with the FAT32 file system;

Insert the flash drive in the USB port on the Sevio Router;

A signaling on Sevio Router will confirm that the update was successful.


6.2 Internet Access through the network in the installation location

Sevio Router does not require changes to the installation location network (setting static addresses or

opening ports). It behaves like a common PC connected to the Internet.

It is best to specify that the WAN is used by Sevio Router only as an Internet access. The WAN and the

field network (LAN) are always isolated from each other.

As in the initial configuration, on the WAN Sevio Router shows up as a DHCP Client so the installation

location network will automatically assign a valid address.

The Sevio system allows Control Stations to communicate with all devices connected to the various Sevio

Routers.

Another exclusive feature of the Sevio system is routing, or rather the possibility for communication

between devices connected to different Sevio networks, yet forming part of the same Realm.

To use the routing feature, it is required to configure the Sevio Router as the default Gateway IP address

into all the network devices that communicate with each other.
