Section 8. Datalogger Program Creation with Edlog
Not all dataloggers have a Compile Settings option. This option
refers only to the CR510, CR10X, and CR23X. NOTE
8.4.5 Datalogger Serial Port Settings
The serial port settings are used to set the baud rate to which the datalogger’s
port(s) should be set when the datalogger is powered-up or when a program is
compiled. If the “Do not change current CS I/O Port settings” option is
selected, the baud rate option used will be that at which the datalogger is
currently using.
When the “Fixed Baud Rate” check box has been selected, the datalogger is
forced to communicate at the baud rate selected. When it is not selected, the
datalogger will first try to use the initial baud rate, but will try the other baud
rates if it cannot connect.
The CR23X has an “RS232 Power Always On” check box. This keeps the
power to the RS232 port on at all times. In some instances, this may be
desirable but it consumes much more power than when the datalogger turns on
the port as needed.
Not all dataloggers have a Serial Port Settings option. This
option refers only to the CR510, CR10X, and CR23X. NOTE
8.4.6 PakBus Settings
PakBus dataloggers have various settings that allow them to function properly
in a PakBus network. In Edlog dataloggers with PB operating systems, these
options can be set in the datalogger’s *D mode with a keyboard/display, but
they can also be set in the DLD program file
For any of the options, if the check box Do Not Change Current Settings is
enabled, then those settings will not be changed when the program is
downloaded to the datalogger.
8.4.6.1 Network
The Network option is used to set the PakBus address in the datalogger and to
configure the datalogger as a router if required. This option is the same as the
datalogger’s *D15 mode.
Address – Enter the PakBus address that should be assigned to the
datalogger. Each node (PakBus addressable device) in the PakBus
network should have a unique PakBus address.
Maximum number of nodes – Enter the total number of nodes (including
leaf node and router dataloggers, non-datalogger routers such as NL100s,
and PCs) in the PakBus network.
Maximum number of neighbors – Enter the number of dataloggers in
the PakBus network that the datalogger can communicate with directly
(i.e., without going through another router).
Maximum number of routers – Enter the number in the PakBus
network, including the PC.
