Det-Tronics EagleVision - PC - Manual (Page 51)

To configure the computer running EagleVision-NT for communication
with the gateway, select Config under the File menu. The
Communication Port Configuration screen will be displayed. See Figure
IV–1.
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 Eagle 2000 in the box labeled Gateway.
Enter the desired values in the Modbus Address, Com Port, Baud Rate,
Stop Bits, Parity and Data Bits fields. When gateway port 0 is used, the
values are fixed at 9600 baud, even parity and 1 stop bit. When gate-
way 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. Refer to the Eagle 2000 hardware instruction manual (form num-
ber 95-8424) for complete switch setting information.
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 gateway port 0 is used, the
address is set using software from the Gateway Configuration screen.
The default address is 1.
Com Port defines which PC serial port is connected to the gateway.
Clicking on the button next to Com Port initiates a routine in which the
software systematically tries all valid combinations of baud rate, data
bits, and parity. If a connection is successfully established, the software
will fill in the appropriate values.
Writes Count tracks the number of outgoing messages to the gateway.
Reads Count tracks the number of responses. These two numbers
should track each other, however, a small disparity does not necessari-
ly indicate a problem.
Average Poll Time is the amount of time for the gateway to respond
to the message.
