EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER DEVICES
Configure a Controller
To begin controller configuration, double-click on its selection rectangle or single-click on the selection rectangle
and choose the “Edit” button in the lower left position of the command bar. This opens the “Configure a controller...”
dialog box which provides access to all of the user configurable features of the controller, including access to
the logic editor.
Note
this section of the user guide deals with the hardware configuration of the controller only.
Tagname
This field provides room for a 24 character tagname which will be used to reference the controller throughout the
S 3 global database. This tagname is used in the logic editor, OPC server, and all printed documentation. Upon
device creation in the database S 3 assigns a randomly generated tagname.
Misc
The “Miscellaneous” field provides room for an optional 42 character description
to be used as desired.
Configuration Port
This motherboard port is used to connect to an S 3 workstation to perform configuration, diagnostics and
troubleshooting. It utilizes a proprietary protocol unique to the EQP controller and S 3 software package and
cannot be used by other devices. The configuration port uses the RS-232 standard and it has two configurable
parameters; baud rate and parity.
