Series 90B ANNUNCIATOR INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
APPLICATION
The SERIES 90B Annunciator Configuration application is used to create, edit
and download annunciator configurations from a PC. The PC Comm Port
connects directly to the annunciator via a serial port on the front of the CSM
module.
A configuration may be created on the PC without a connection to the
annunciator and then downloaded later. The configuration information is held as
a file on the PC, which may be edited if a change is required. An exception to
this is the physical size of the annunciator, which includes the number of input
modules, and the size of each module, which is factory configured.
If a configuration is edited, checks are made to ensure that the correct file is
downloaded to the annunciator. If more than one version of the SERIES 90B
configuration software is used then more than one version of the configuration
file can exist. It is up to the user to ensure that copies of the configuration are
kept up to date. If the application detects that the local and remote copies of a
configuration are different the user can update either.
The application also includes a function to enable the configurable options in the
annunciator, such as Modbus and DNP communications.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The SERIES 90B configuration software should be installed onto a PC with the
following minimum configuration: -
300MHz Pentium II CPU
Windows 98/2000/XP
64Mbytes RAM
20Gbytes hard disk
Insert the AMETEK SERIES 90B Configuration CD in the CD-ROM drive. This
will automatically start the installation process. If this does not happen choose
‘Run’ from the ‘Start’ menu then browse to the CD-ROM drive and click on
‘Autorun.exe’.
During the installation, you will be prompted to select the type of Annunciator you
wish to configure. Select only the models you wish to use to avoid confusion with
extra choices.
