Starting the Receive Line test
Receive Line Check
The Receive Line Check is no longer supported by the BACS modules with
software version 3.4.2. Before the test, please check which hardware revision of the
BACS modules you are using. You will find the according label on the underside of the
BACS modules.
Please note that you cannot mix different versions within one BACS bus.
The Receive Line Check can be used to check the quality of the data signal starting from the last module in the chain.
The receive line test is a passive testing mode. The BACS Programmer will not query but wait for a specially coded incoming data
packet.
When you start the test, you will not see animations or something like that, BACS programmer will only show a blue center screen with
white letters:
Performing a Receive Line Check
Because you want to know something about a specific route to the BACS
programmer, this test will only run with a simple chain connection without any ring
wiring.
1. To start the test, unplug the measuring cables to depower the BACS
module.
2. Press the button (yes dude, this is not the LED …) and hold it.
3. Repower the module while holding the module button pressed.
4. Release the button. This will start the test.
What happens:
This BACS module will start sending 300 signatured data through the cables to the BACS Webmanager or a BACS Bus Converter. This
will be done sequential and evenly.
