Remote programming via serial link
Programming is carried out through a remote computer fitted with an RS232 or RS485 interface, using a standard
communications program (e.g. Windows™ Terminal) or the CEIA MDScope program, available on request.
Communication parameter settings:
• Baud rate = 9600 bit/s (to be set on the computer)
• 8 data bits
• NO parity
• 1 stop bit
• no communication protocol
• CR -> CR+LF
• Local echo = OFF
• Terminal: VT 100 (ANSI)
Entering remote programming
Connecting to a metal detector (via RS 232)
- Run the communications program
- Enter the password and key ENTER. The command
prompt will appear
(password) <ENTER>
#
Note: each password accesses programming at the appropriate level (operator, supervisor, …)
Long-distance connection to a single metal detector (via RS 485)
Identical to the above.
Network connection (via RS 485)
Using RS 485 transmission, several metal detectors can be connected in a network. In this case, the PC acts as master
and the metal detectors as slaves
. So as to allow each individual metal detector to be identified, the following steps must
be taken:
Set a password on each metal detector (N.B.: the password can be the same if so desired).
Set a different
Line ID identification code for each metal detector (line ID parameter ID=1001, 1002, 1003, .).
