Port Baud Rate
The port speed can be adjusted in standard intervals between a high speed of 115,200
baud which is both the default setting and the recommended setting, and, a low speed of
2,400 baud. Lower speeds are not recommended but sometimes required if the controllers
location is too far from the S 3 workstation to support the recommended speed.
Parity
The parity setting for the controllers configuration port defaults to “None” but it can also
be adjusted to either “Even” or “Odd”. There are no other adjustable parameters for the configuration port.
Redundancy
The EQP system supports either a simplex (Single) or redundant (Dual) configuration.
This selection is displayed in the lower half of the rectangle representing the controller.
If a redundant arrangement is to be used, two identical controllers are hooked up in parallel.
On a failure of the primary the “Hot-Standby” unit would take over without interruption.
Redundancy Configuration
If redundancy is to be used, “Enable” this feature with the redundancy checkbox, and then
select “Type-A” from the pull down menu for “Communication Option Board”. The “Type-A”
option board is required to support redundancy and also provides three additional serial
ports for user configuration.
Serial Ports
The Eagle Quantum Premier Controller supports up to six serial ports. Two on the
motherboard; one for configuration and a second for Modbus communications. Four on
the option board; one for redundancy and three for Modbus.
Note
Port 3 can be used for configuration.
