Other buttons located beneath and to the right of the device image are:
Map This accesses the Modbus Mapping function (Section 7.5) which shows
the status of all mapped objects
— including mapped Modbus variables,
virtual objects and all points within the BAS Remote.
Modbus Utility This accesses the Modbus Utility function (Section 7.6).
Set Time This accesses the Set Time window where you can manually set the
values of time and date.
The large grey section at the bottom of the screen labelled Current Settings is the device
“Monitor” — a read-only display of information for the BAS Remote module currently
selected. The tab in bold face near the top of the screen indicates the module selected.
Figure 22 below is an example in which Expansion Unit 2 has been selected.
NOTE: The number of tabs displayed is determined by the number of
Expansion Units selected in the Master Configuration Screen (Figure 17).
Figure 22 — The Tab in Bold Face Indicates the Selected Module
In the upper-left portion of the Monitor shown in Figure 21, two values (Unit Name and
Modbus Address) are displayed for the currently selected module.
To the right of the Modbus Address value is a box which reports one of two possible
pieces of information
— depending on the type of BAS Remote module currently selected.
When the Master is selected, the box will display the BACnet Device Instance of the
Master. If an Expansion
module is selected, the box will report the module’s status: It will
be ONLINE if its connection to the Master is valid or OFFLINE if the connection is invalid.
An OFFLINE report usually means the Expansion module cannot communicate with the
Master due to a cabling issue.
In the upper-right portion of the Monitor, the status of each channel (point) is reported with
the Override indicators and the LED Status indicators. All of these LEDs are refreshed at
the rate of once per second.
The lower portion of the Monitor displays the Channel Names and their Present Values.
6.1.5 On-Screen Help
There are several screens used in the BAS Remote. The upper-right portion of each
screen displays a Help option. Clicking this option launches another browser window
with helpful information about the current screen.
