Det-Tronics EagleVision - PC - Manual (Page 15)

The Operator Interface Station (OIS) must be configured to communi-
cate with the gateway. Select Config under the File menu to display the
Communication Port Configuration screen. See Figure IV–1. This screen
is used to create and define LON networks as well as serial communi-
cation connections.
Type a tag name for the LON in the LON Name box. This name will
appear on the tab in the lower left corner of the screen and is also used
as a prefix for the Wonderware tagnames. It should be kept as short as
practical.
Select the type of system (Eagle 2000 or Quantum) in the box labeled
Gateway.
Enter the desired values in the Modbus Address, Com Port, Baud Rate,
Stop Bits, Parity and Data Bits fields. (Refer to the appropriate hardware
instruction manual for complete switch setting information — form num-
ber 95-8470 for Eagle Quantum or 95-8424 for Eagle 2000.) When
Gateway port 2 is used (port 0 for Eagle 2000) the values are fixed at
9600 baud, even parity and one stop bit. When Gateway port 1 is
used, the values selected in these fields must match the Gateway DIP
switch settings for baud rate, stop bits, parity and data bits.
Modbus Address must match the value set on the gateway Modbus
address DIP switches, S7. When gateway port 1 is used, the address is
set using the gateway’s DIP switches. When port 2 is used (port 0 for
Eagle 2000), the address is set using software from the Gateway
Configuration screen. The default address is 1.
