19.1 Connecting to the XL7 OCS
Cscape connects to the local controller automatically when the serial connection is made. The status
bar below shows an example of a successful connection. This status bar is located in the bottom right
hand corner of the Cscape window.
In general the Target number should match the Local number. The exception to this is when the
controller is being used as a "pass through" unit where other controllers on a CsCAN network could be
accessed through the local controller.
Determine connection status by examining feedback next to Local & Target in the status bar of Cscape.
Local: ### If a number shows next to Local then communication is established to the local controller.
Local: No Port
Cscape is unable to access the COM port of the PC. This could mean that Cscape is configured for a
COM port that is not present or that another program has control of the COM port. Only one Cscape
window can access a port at a time. Subsequent instances of Cscape opened will indicate No Port.
Local: No Com
Cscape has accessed a PC COM port, but is not communicating with the controller. This typically occurs
when the controller is not physically connected.
Local: ???
Unknown communication error. Close Cscape, power cycle the controller and reopen Cscape with a
blank project. Check Local.
Target: #(I,R,D)
If I (idle), R (run), or D (do I/O) shows next to Target number then communication is established to the
target controller.
Target: #(?)
Communication is not established to the target controller. Check node ID of controller and set Target to
match. Make sure local connection is established.
