2.5 Address and Mode
Most of the addressable units must have both address and mode set. This is done in
different ways for different units, for example address setting tool 4414, DIP switches,
jumpers, or via the FDCIE display. For more information, please read the Technical
Description for each unit respectively.
2.6 Software (S/W) Versions
Due to continual development and improvement, different S/W versions can be found. The
control unit S/W can be updated on site.
2.6.1 EBLWin
The PC program EBLWin is used for programming and commissioning, i.e. to:
• Auto-generate, i.e. to identify the units connected on the COM loop and create
default settings, which can be edited, saved and used as a Site Specific Data
(SSD).
• Create / download / upload (backup) the site specific data (SSD)
• Download new S/W version (firmware), settings, conventions, configurations,
FT128 data / etc.
• Create / download the user definable text messages (alarm text) shown in the
display in FT128 / RDU’s.
• Download software to the Web-server.
• Create and download the Web-server configuration.
• See alarms, faults, disablements, etc. and reset, acknowledge fault, re-enable.
EBLWin must have the same version no. as the system software EBL128 S/W version,
e.g. 2.4.x. (x indicates only a small correction and is not required to be the same). Old
SSD files can be opened in a newer (higher) version of EBLWin, then edited, saved and
thereafter downloaded to FT128. If a backup is required, use the same EBLWin version as
the EBL128 S/W version.
EBLWin key 5094 is a USB unit that has to be plugged in the PC to log on to the FDCIE.
2.6.2 Web-server Configuration
A tool used for configuration of the Web-server II (1598), it is part of the EBLWin PC
program, see above.
2.7 Applications
The FT128 is intended for small and medium installations. The intelligent control unit offer
the system designer and end user a technically sophisticated range of facilities and
functions.
Programming with the PC program EBLWin and commissioning the system is very easy.
