All Together.”
• Measure power upstream for required level
•
• Check wire size
• Check for bad connections
• Check and reset unit DIP switches 1-6 to correct address
•
• Check and reset unit DIP switch 8 to correct baud rate
•
• Look for a break in the daisy chain
•
• Verify correct connections and test wiring paths
•
• Check converter box wiring and its documentation
•
• Reconfigure computer's COM port setup and verify communications ok
• See COM port information
• Check the communication card documentation for setable variables, operational testing • See COM baud information
• Restart COMS software, check for settings agreement. Verify COM bus active
• See software document
• Check sensor connections
•
• Check sensor connections and sensor wiring
•
• Change the Sensor Type parameter (Input Group) to match the sensor hardware
•
• Measure power upstream for required level
•
• Verify that the temperature surrounding unit is 32° to 149°F (0° to 65°C)
•
• Check sensor function. The Open Loop Detect parameter (Error Group) indicates it may be broken •
• Check the Calibration Offset parameter (Input Group) value; set it to a lower level
•
• Send the alarming MicroDIN unit a “clear alarm” signal (Modbus
™
: 331)
•
Note: The condition causing the alarm must also be resolved for the alarm to clear
•
• To clear the alarm, correct the alarm condition; check to see if the alarm is latched
•
