Automatic Mode
By default, the BACS Programmer starts in Automatic Mode.
In order to prevent accidental incorrect entries, only the functions assigned to a specific operating mode are
enabled. The automatic mode is designed for the automatic addressing of BACS modules, the functionality is the
same as in the BACS Webmanager
Manual Mode
This mode describes similar functions like the single module address and search tools running on the BACS
Webmanager. Search for an address ID of a single module or change module addresses.
Searching for an installed module
This feature will be interesting if you are inside a very large BACS installation and,
as an example, you are looking for the BACS module with ID 378.
In this case, enter 378 and press Start. The requested module will respond with a
red flash within the BACS installation until you click Stop.
Line Check
A premium feature of the BACS programming software is the Line Check:
With the Line Check, BACS cabling can be tested.
This test can help you to find points of weakness inside a cabling concept. As an example, this test is helpfull, if
o the signal is partial disturbed caused by electromagnetic interferences (EMI) or other
influences duringinstallation not all modules are addressable.
o All modules are addressable but not found during initial start up.
o sporadic communication lost occurs
Operation modes of the line check
The BACS Line Check offers two basic functional checks.
o Send Line Check
o Receive Line Check
Note
For the line check tool, it is mandatory that all modules are set to factory default ID 0.
