5.3.1 Auto Configure System
The AUTO CONFIGURE SYSTEM menu is used to automatically configure the HMI panel when a
properly configured wireless network is available. When this feature is activated, the HMI will search for
RXT-300 wireless transceivers in the configured network by polling their Modbus™ addresses. Upon
entering this menu, the LCD will display:
AUTO CONFIGURE CHANNELS
RXT ID:161
SYSTEM CONFIGURED
[RE-CONFIGURE]
The RXT ID number is the Modbus
TM
address of the RXT-300 transceiver being polled. The user has the
option of re-configuring the network by performing a one second hold on the “ENTER” marker. The
controller will automatically search for available RXT-300 transceivers and configure the HMI panel.
NOTE: The RXT-300 wireless network must be set up and configured properly using the
Wireless Configuration Tool prior to performing an auto configure.
NOTE: The number of activated devices can be less than (but not greater than) the
controller’s maximum input capacity. The maximum input capacity is 32 devices for Model
SW-HMI-32.
NOTE: An auto configure must be performed each time the network configuration is changed.
5.3.2 Response Timeout & Interpoll Delay
The RESPONSE TIMEOUT & INTERPOLL DELAY menu displays the values for response timeout and
interpoll delay of the HMI panel. Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display:
SET MODBUS TIMEOUTS:
RESPONSE TIMEOUT :500
INTERPOLL DELAY:100
Response timeout is the amount of time in milliseconds the HMI display will wait for an RXT-300 to
respond to a poll request. Ten missed poll responses will result in the device being declared in COMM
ERR. The range of values for the response timeout is 100-1000 milliseconds. The recommended value for
the response timeout is 500.
Inter-poll delay is the minimum amount of time in milliseconds the HMI display waits before sending out
another poll request to the next device. The range of values for the inter-poll delay is 10-255 milliseconds.
The recommended value for the inter-poll delay is 100.
NOTE: The values shown are pre-programmed to 500 and 100 respectively and should not be
altered unless directed to do so by Detcon Factory Personnel.
5.3.3 RF Silence & Inhibit Timers
The RF SILENCE & INHIBIT TIMERS menu allows the user to initiate RF (radio) silence over the whole
network as well as inhibit functionality of alarms in the network. Radio silence terminates communication
between all the RXT-300 transceivers in the network. The inhibit function disables all alarm and fault
outputs on the network. Upon entering this menu, the LCD will display:
