5.2. CONFIGURATION BY USING ADACONFIG
The configuration of ADA-4040PC8 converter can be made by the use of
ADAConfig
Software - selling with converter. To make the
configuration, connect converter to computer (see pt. 3.2) and power supply. If after power, on the front panel is not lit green LED
PWR, check the power connection (polarity). If the PWR LED lights, set the section of SW1 switch to configuration mode as in table
below.
SW1-1
SW1-2
ON
OFF
In the configuration mode the yellow LED located by SW1 micro-switch will blink with frequency 1 Hz. Start the ADAConfig Software
and make the configuration of transmission parameters for each converter interfaces.
First should be set the number of
[COM port]
[1]
for communication with the converter, then readout the configuration from ADA-
4040PC8 memory, using the button
[Read configuration]
[2]
and make the proper changes of each interfaces setting, as below:
[3]
setting the converter address from the RTU port RS485 MODBUS-RTU field [Address] (range 1-247).
In the section
[Converter addressing]
, select the field
[Enable]
and in the field
[Address]
enter the MODBUS-RTU converter
address from the
RTU
port.
[4]
setting the address of the connected VIRAP * JCT device to the
JTC RS485
port [Mapped Address] field (range 1-99).
In the section
[Device addressing]
, select the field
[Address mapping]
and in the field
[Mapped address]
enter the address of
VIRAP * JCT controller, connected to the
JCT
port.
[5]
setting transmission parameters for the
JCT
port:
– baud rate (kbps) : 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 4.8, 7.2, 9.6, 14.4, 19.2, 28.8, 38.4, 57.6, 76.8, 115.2, 230.4,
– number of data bites: 5, 6, 7, 8,
– control parity: no control, parity control, control of none parity,
– number of stop bits : 1, 2,
– frame spacing – range from 1 to 255 (time silence as frame's end),
[6]
setting transmission parameters for the
RTU
port:
– baud rate (kbps) : 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 4.8, 7.2, 9.6, 14.4, 19.2, 28.8, 38.4, 57.6, 76.8, 115.2, 230.4,
– number of data bites: 5, 6, 7, 8,
– control parity: no control, parity control, control of none parity,
– number of stop bits : 1, 2,
– frame spacing – range from 1 to 255 (time silence as frame's end),
After configuration, the setting should be saved on converter memory by using button
[Write configuration]
[7]
. Return to work in run
mode is made by using SW1 switch as below.
SW1-1
SW1-2
OFF
OFF
The yellow LED will turn off in the RUN mode.
