4.3 Configuration Software
This chapter describes installation and operation of configuration software for the radio and serial
telemetry modules. The configuration software runs on a conventional PC as a Windows application.
The software creates a configuration file which can be loaded into a module via RS232. The
configuration software also allows the configuration of a module to be loaded for display and
modification. Configuration files are created and stored in project directories.
Configuration of modules consists of entering I/O mappings, and selecting User Options. An I/O
mapping is a link between an input on the module being configured and an output on another module.
A mapping has the form :-
DI3 → Out2 at 4 via 3, 11
This mapping links DI3 on this module to output channel 2 on the module with address 4, and modules
3 and 11 are repeaters.
User Options may be selected to change the configuration of specific features.
Mappings configured to a 905U-C have the form :-
AI2 → I/O Reg 1036 at 10 via 7
This mapping links AI2 on a 905U module to I/O Register 1036 in a 905U-C with address 10. Module
#7 is used as a repeater. The host device connected to the 905U-C can read the I/O register.
Note: Every module must have at least one mapping configured to another module. If no
mappings are required (for example, you are only using outputs at a module), then you need to
configure a mapping for a spare input to an unused output on another module.
4.3.1 Hardware and Software Requirements
The configuration software is available on a CD, and needs to be installed on your PC before you can
use it. The CD contains a setup
file called setup.exe. Select the
configuration software window on
the Product CD and an installation
Wizard will guide you through the
installation procedure. To upload
and download configuration files
to a module, you will need a RS-
232 serial cable as shown below.
4.3.2 Program Operation
Start the software by either
clicking on the start bar and
navigating to the Configuration menu or by running ESERIES.EXE in the directory selected in the
905 End
