Configuring Your Decoder
Because the decoder can be used many ways, you will need to configure the
decoder to meet the requirements of your application. To do this, you must
make some decisions. We will show you how to use the menus and setup
screens that appear on a programming terminal to select the options you
need.
You must configure the decoder to meet the requirements of the application.
You can configure the decoder either before or after installation. If you
change the configuration while a triggered decode is in progress, there is
the possibility of missing a package and/or losing data.
Note: The default parameters for the decoder are given in Appendix B. If
these settings meet your requirements, you will not have to program the
decoder.
You will need the following equipment:
1. Decoder with power cable.
2. One of the following programming terminals:
•
Allen-Bradley Industrial Terminal (Catalog No.1770-T1, -T2, or -T3).
•
Allen-Bradley T45 Laptop Terminal (Catalog No. 1784-T45).
•
Lear Siegler 3E.
•
Televideo 955.
•
DEC VT-100.
•
A terminal or personal computer that accurately emulates one of the
above.
3. A cable to connect your programming terminal to the decoder.
Note: Prior to configuring your decoder, we suggest that you review the
description of how the decoder stores configuration data (refer to Chapter 3,
RAM and EEPROM Memory descriptions).
Note: Refer to Appendix A for programming terminal setup. The
programming terminal you use must be configured with the following
parameters:
Number of data bits: 8
Number of stop bits: 1
Baud rate: 9600
Parity: None
Flow Control: XON / XOFF
