Menu descriptions
8100 0000 FLOW-BUS Mode.
Here you can install this module on the FLOW-BUS or start/stop the communication.
8110 0000 Auto install.
Press 'enter' to install this module on the FLOW-BUS. It will search for a free address on the bus
by itself and install there.
8120 0000 Remote Install.
Press 'enter' to let this module get into INIT mode so it can be installed to the bus by an external
device (operation module or PC). You have one minute now to perform the installation
procedure.
8130 0000 Start Communication.
When you press 'enter' in this menu communication with the bus will be (re)started (use after
stopping communication temporarily). When the device is properly installed, it will start
communication at power-up and after a reset automatically.
8140 0000 Stop Communication.
When you press 'enter' in this menu communication with the bus will be stopped until ‘Start
communication' will be selected or at a reset of the module.
8200 0000 Check Settings. Here you check FLOW-BUS settings of this module.
8210 0000 PNA means Primary Node Address of module on the FLOW-BUS.
NNA means Next Node Address. This address points to the next module on the FLOW-BUS and
will be changed automatically if a new module is add to the FLOW-BUS behind this module. If
the module is the last module on the FLOW-BUS, its NNA points to zero.
8211 0000* Here you can change the PNA of the module. If you give a new address, the module will restart
the communication. The NNA is default set to PNA+1. During communication NNA values may
change automatically because FLOW-BUS optimises it self for optimum communication speed.
NOTE 1:
Normally installation on the FLOW-BUS has to be performed only one time. Mostly this will be
done at Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. when your module has been built and tested. The address on
the bus for this module will be stored when the module powers-off. At future power-on situations,
it will be part of the FLOW-BUS on the same address each time. However, there can be
situations you have to install your module on the bus again. For example:
1) When you want to rebuild your FLOW-BUS system.
2) When you want to add this module to another FLOW-BUS system.
3) When, at the check at start-up, the module finds out that its address to be on the FLOW-
BUS is occupied already by another module. You will get a message on your display That
you have to re-install the module on the bus.
NOTE 2:
Make sure this module has been switched-off before connecting it to the FLOW-BUS.
First make FLOW-BUS connection, then switch-on the power. Only in this order the module is
able to perform its communication checkings properly.
How to install the E-7000 modules on the FLOW-BUS network, see manual 9.17.024.
* LNA means last Node Address. This is an indication of the size of the FLOWBUS network.
The next module added to the network should have a PNA below this LNA. When a module is
automatic installed on the network, this LNA will be changed automatically.
