5-2 ADAM-5510/P31
Troubleshooting
This chapter provides a standard group of troubleshooting procedures
for some of the more commonly encountered questions.
5.1 ADAM-5510/P31 and Advantech FX
5.1.1 No Fastlink when you are downloading programs
If you install Advantech FX in your system as the HMI (Human-
Machine Interface) to monitor your system's operation, please keep
this in mind: disable the Fastlink linkage between Advantech FX and
Advantech Paradym-31 when downloading a program from the host
PC to the ADAM-5510/P31. An attempt by Fastlink to convey informa-
tion between Advantech FX and Advantech Paradym-31 may cause
downloading failure.
5.1.2 No concurrent monitoring with Advantech Paradym-31
Advantech FX is a useful tool for monitoring system operations.
Advantech Paradym-31 also has monitoring functions. However,
simultaneous monitoring by Advantech Paradym-31 will substantially
slow down the Advantech FX monitoring functions. The majority of
the host PC resources will be allocated to the Advantech Paradym-31
monitor, so Advantech FX looks like it has come to a halt. Therefore,
we recommend that you turn off Advantech Paradym-31 monitoring if
you are using the Advantech FX monitoring functions.
5.2 Communication
5.2.1 Failure to communicate (host to ADAM-5510/P31)
If you have connected all wiring and cabling correctly, but the commu-
nication between the host and the ADAM-5510/P31 still fails, please
check that the baud rate setting on ADAM-5510/P31 is correct. In
ADAM-5510/P31, bit 7 and bit 8 of the DIP switch beside slot 3 are
used to set the communication baud rate. This setting must be
consistent with the setting in the Advantech Paradym-31 software on
the host PC, otherwise communication will fail.
