NL100/105 Network Link Interface
If both the beacon interval and verify interval are set to 0, a verify
interval of 5 minutes will be used.
RS485 Neighbor list - Enter a list of addresses for PakBus devices
with which the NL100/105 can communicate over the RS485 port.
The addresses are specified individually, with a space separating each
address, or a range of addresses can be entered by separating them
with a hyphen (e.g., 1 3 6 10-15, sets PakBus addresses 1, 3, 6, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 as neighbors). If a Neighbor list is entered, the
NL100/105 will ignore packets from any device which is not in the
list (unless the address of the device sending the packet is 4000 or
greater). If 0 is entered for this parameter, the NL100/105 will
respond to any device that sends a packet and will automatically add
that device to its neighbor list.
TCPSer - This option configures the NL100 to act as a TCP/IP based serial
server when communicating with the datalogger over its RS485 port.
RS485 Bps - This is the bits per second (bps) at which the
NL100/105 will communicate using the RS485 port. This is a fixed
rate (i.e., it is not a maximum baud rate or an autobaud rate). The
default rate is 38K bps.
RS485 Serial server port number - Enter the port number, in the
range of 1 to 65000, that will be used for communication. The default
port number is 6782.
PakSer - The RS485 port of the NL100/105 is configured as a PakBus serial
server.
RS485 Bps - This is the bits per second (bps) at which the
NL100/105 will communicate using the RS485 port. This is a fixed
rate (i.e., it is not a maximum baud rate or an autobaud rate). The
default rate is 38K bps.
RS485 serial server AppId Number - Enter the application ID, in the
range of 1 to 65000, that will be used identify the device in the
network. The default ID is 6782.
The usual AppId for MODBUS devices is 502.
NOTE
2.4.3.3 CS I/O Config
This option is used to configure the NL100/105's CS I/O port. The port can be
configured for PakBus communication, as a TcpSer serial server, or as a
PakSer serial server.
