Section 3: Setup Mode

Page 6

PM9605 Revision 1, 9605 Version 36.1.1

The 9605's Setup mode allows the user to configure the unit for a particular application.  The Setup mode is used
to setup the following variables before attempting to communicate with the PLC.  

<

  9605 node address 

<

  SLC-500 (DH+) node address 

<

  Watchdog file number

<

  Watchdog element number 

<

  Dialogue File number

<

  Operating Mode A or Mode B

The Setup mode is activated when the 9605 is powered up with the slide switch (located on the side of the 9605)
is in the on position.  This condition is only tested on power up, or when restarting the 9605 during the display of 
an error code.

The Setup mode will prompt the user to enter the parameters mentioned above.  The information that is entered
will be saved in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM).  This means that the user only has to configure the 9605 once
(the Setup data will be maintained even if power is removed), but you can change the configuration as often as
you need to.

The slide switch on the side of the unit actually controls the write enable line to the EEPROM.  So when the switch
is in the on position the EEPROM can be changed;  when in the off position the EEPROM cannot be changed. 
With this in mind the slide switch should be kept off whenever the 9605 is not in Setup mode.  This will assure that
the 9605's setup data is safe.  

Slide switch down toward the bottom of the 9605 = ON

Slide switch up toward the top of the 9605 = OFF

3.1  Using the Setup Mode

Upon entry into the Setup mode, the LEDs will be all Red, then one-by-one the LED's will turn green.
Immediately they will turn off with the exception of the setting of the Operating Mode LED.  This distinctive display
pattern will act to confirm the Setup mode selection.

Once the Setup mode has been selected, the 9605 will use its LEDs to indicate the current values of the several
parameters, and you may use its switches to change the values.  The switches are defined as follows:

1

9605's node address

2

SLC-500's (DH+) node address

3

Watchdog File number

4

Watchdog element number

5

Dialogue File number

6

Operating Mode : Red = Mode A,  Green = Mode B.

7

Restart 9605: This button will "Warm boot" the 9605 in order to re-establish  communications with the

processor.  This key  is only active when the 9605 is in Setup mode or when the 9605 is displaying an
error code.  It will prevent the user from cycling power to the 9605 when the setup process is complete
or to restart the 9605 when in error.
