Installation
Alarm logging path
This is the path to the disk directory containing the Lotus or Text
(ASCII) alarm record files generated by ANASOFT. This directory must
exist before running ANASOFT and turning On alarm logging.
B:\ANASOFT\ALARMLOG\ (for floppy disks)
C:\ANASOFT\ALARMLOG\ or .\ALARMLOG\ (for hard disks).
Notice that the last “\” is added automatically.
Software Key Installation
Install the software key on the computer printer port.
If you are planning to use a printer, first install the software key and then
install the printer cable into the software key. Some computers require
that the printer should be On Line before the software key will work.
When no software key is installed, an error message appears, and
ANASOFT terminates.
Grouping Loops
Grouping inputs allows you to divide your system into subsystems. You
can group loops with a common purpose according to your specific
application requirements. One group might be for a furnace or a group
of furnaces; another group might be for common Jobs controllers share.
Only the loops of one group are displayed on the Overview screen at a
time. The job parameters are uploaded or downloaded to an individual
group independently. The number of controllers with their total number
of loops must match the number of loops in the grouping. The loop
numbering depends upon the type of controller selected in the
ANAINSTL program. The system loops are in a numerical sequence of
1 to 8 for the first 8LS controller and 9 to 16 for the second 8LS
controller, etc. The 12LS sequence is 1 to 12 for the first 12LS
controller, 13 to 24 for the second 12LS controller, etc. The SYSTEM
32 loop sequence is in units of 16 depending on the make-up of the
SYSTEM 32 Hardware. Loops of 16, 32, 48, or 64 may be available.
The same applies for the MLS, CLS and IRC2 controllers regarding the
number of loops per controller.
