Scanning Channel Installation Tool
- Assume a known fully installed serial port
DataBase Design
Fields = Channel# START STOP INSTALLED? .... all channels in just 1 database ????
Address Setup
Initialization Scan
- Do initial scan to see which controller addresses are installed
- Stores status in the database table under INSTALLED?
Manual Method
- User looks at database and selects address
- User can manual set / select controller modbus address using controller front panel
Automated Method where computer helps
- Prompt User > connect unit to be installed > disconnect all other controller communication cables
- Scan address 1 - 64 until unit is found > look for valid reply
- Check to see if this address is already used:
- Prompt User > This address is already in system use by NICKNAME | This address is not already in use
- Prompt User > You can Change address by clicking X Button. ( has textbox display and button pair + number only parsing ) > verify not already in use!
- If user changes address > rescan to verify change in effect > Prompt User > change effected
- Prompt User> Store this in channel database? Click Store Channel
