Adding a new station to MicroScan sample steps |
Step 1: Comms linking
Determine the correct coms linking. If your existing data loop is 4 wire, it will be RS422, link the new station accordingly (links in L2/L1 positions). If your existing data loop is 2 wire, it will be RS485, link the new station accordingly (links in L3/L4 positions).
Step 2: Add Station
Noting the serial number written on the lid of the station, use the Add
Station Wizard on Setup Tools to add the new station.
The new station is factory set at station 1. This wizard will assign a new
station number to the station. If any stations are currently set to station 1,
comms conflicts may occur until the new station has been assigned a new station
number.
Step 3: Configure Pages and Lines
Use Configure Pages and Lines on Setup Tools to assign lines to the new station.
Step 4: Checking station Operation
Check the COMS status window (at bottom of navigation tree) it will show
Station X Good as it works around each station.
Double click the COMS status to view the station status window which shows the
current good/bad status for the stations and the number of good and bad counts
for each station.
