2.1 Tab CONNECT
CONNECT:
Pressing the CONNECT tab opens a window for selecting and
configuring the interface.
The COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL function field is used for
selecting either an RS232 or a TCP/IP protocol.
If RS232 is selected, a port from 1 to 256 can be selected with
SELECT COM PORT, depending on which port the sensor is
connected to.
The sensor operates with a set baudrate that can be modified
with CHANGE BAUDRATE (see below). The sensor and the
user interface both must operate with the same baudrate. At
the user interface the baudrate is set with SELECT
BAUDRATE. If after starting the software should not
automatically establish a connection, the correct baudrate can
be found with SELECT BAUDRATE.
If an adaptor is used, the COM PORT number can be
determined by way of the hardware manager in the system
control panel.
If the sensor should communicate through a local area
network, an RS232 to Ethernet adaptor will be needed. This
adapter makes it possible to establish a connection to the
sensor with the TCP/IP protocol.
The network adaptors that are available from us are based on
the Lantronix XPort module. For parameterising these adapters
(assigning of an IP address, setting of the Baud rate of 19200)
please download the "DeviceInstaller" software that is provided
free of charge by Lantronix at http://www.lantronix.com/
.
DeviceInstaller is based on Microsoft's ".NET" framework.
Detailed operating instructions for the "DeviceInstaller"
software also are available from Lantronix.
In order to establish a connection to the adaptor, its IP address or HOST name must be entered in the field
IP ADRESS (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) OR HOST NAME. The DROP DOWN menu (down arrow) shows the last 10 IP
addresses that were used. An address from this list can be directly selected by clicking on the respective item.
The DROP DOWN list is saved and is thus always available when the software is closed.
The PORT NUMBER for the XPort-based network adaptors is 10001. This port number must not be changed.
When you press the TRY TO CONNECT button, the software tries to establish a connection with the set
parameters. The communication status is shown in the display field. If the sensor answers with its FIRMWARE ID,
the set connection type can be accepted by pressing ACCEPT SETTINGS. You will then be returned to the
PARA tab. If you get a TIMEOUT message, the software could not establish a connection to the sensor. In this
case please check if the interface cable is correctly connected, if the sensor is supplied with power, and if the set
parameters are correct.
If a connection has been accepted by pressing ACCEPT SETTINGS, the software starts automatically with these
settings when called the next time.
ATTENTION !
The stable function of the interface is a basic prerequisite for measured value transfer
from the PC to the Sensor.
Due to the limited data transfer rate through the serial RS232 interface
only slow changes of the raw signals at the sensor front end can be observed in the
graphic output window of the PC.
For maintaining maximum switching frequency at the sensor data communication with
the PC must be stopped (press the STOP button).
