Prerequisites
|
• |
The relevant peripheral system is connected to the ME70 Processor Unit. |
|
• |
The connection has been made using a serial or Ethernet communication port. |
|
• |
All the relevant communication parameters have been defined. |
|
• |
The peripheral system is turned on, and it transmits data. |
Neither tools nor instruments are required.
Procedure
|
2 |
On the Setup menu, select Installation.
Observe that the Installation dialog box opens. This dialog box contains a number of pages selected from the menu on the left side.
|
|
3 |
On the left side of the Installation dialog box, select I/O Setup. |
|
4 |
Make sure that each input port is functional.
|
a |
Select the relevant communication port. |
|
b |
Select Monitor to open the Port Monitor dialog box. |
|
c |
Make sure that there is data traffic on the input port (shown in the Rx Data box).
In order to see this data traffic, the peripheral system must be turned on, and transmitting information to the ME70.
|
|
d |
If you are unable to see any data traffic on the communication port, we suggest the following:
|
1 |
Make sure that the peripheral system has been turned on. |
|
2 |
Make sure that the peripheral system is in fact transmitting information. |
|
3 |
Make sure that the cable has been properly connected. |
|
4 |
Make sure that you have connected the peripheral system to the communication port that you are observing. |
|
|
e |
Select OK to close the Port Monitor dialog box. |
|
|
5 |
Make sure that each output port is functional.
|
a |
Select the relevant communication port. |
|
b |
Select Monitor to open the Port Monitor dialog box. |
|
c |
Make sure that there is data traffic on the output port (shown in the Tx Data box).
In order to see this data traffic, your ME70 must be active and transmitting information to the peripheral system.
|
|
d |
If you are unable to see any data traffic on the communication port, we suggest the following:
|
1 |
Make sure that the appropriate output data from your ME70 have been routed to the correct output port. |
|
2 |
Make sure that the output is enabled. |
|
|
e |
Select the [X] in the upper-right corner of the Port Monitor dialog box to close it. |
