ADAM-6200 User Manual 84
Advanced Mode Configuration
When you choose the advanced mode, the Main Operation screen area is shown as
above. With advanced mode, each channel on the source ADAM-6200 module can
be mapping to channel on different target devices. You can configure the mapping
relation using the two block areas Source and Destination in the Advanced (One to
Multi) area.
The setup of the mapping relationship is shown as below:
1. Select the input channel by the Channel combo box in Source .
2. Use Period time numeric control, Deviation enable (C.O.S) checkbox (for ana-
log modules) or Change of state (C.O.S) check box (for digital modules), and
Deviation Rate numeric control in the Source area to define when to transfer
the data for that channel. The configuration operation is similar to Basic mode.
3. Define the target device for that channel by entering its IP address into the IP
text box in the
Destination area. Choose the correct module name from the
Name combo box, and choose the output channel to receive the data by the
Channel combo box.
4. After you have completed all these configurations for this channel, click the
Config to list button. You can see your configuration for that channel is dis-
played by the mapping table below the Source and Destination area.
Repeat the step 1 to step 4 for another input channel. Continuously repeat the config-
uration until you have configured all the input channels which you want to create the
mapping relationship. Click the
Apply list button to download all mapping configura-
tion to the target module. You can save all configurations in the mapping table into a
file by clicking the
Save button. Or you can load previous configuration from a file by
clicking the Load button. If you click the Refresh button, the real configuration on the
source module will be uploaded to your computer and you can see it in the mapping
table. In order to save setting time for the mapping configuration, you can copy one
channel setting to other channels, and then only change what needs to change. You
can do this by clicking the
Copy to button, then a dialog window will pop-up as below
image.
Note! 1. The mapping setting is only restored in memory of your computer,
and it will download to the target ADAM-6200 module after you
click the
Apply list button below the mapping table. It is not sug-
gested to download the mapping configuration immediately if you
only complete setting for one channel.
2. We suggest you to download all channels mapping configuration
together at one time, instead of downloading one-channel setting
many times. The reason is that this can save the times to use the
flash memory on target module and help to extend the flash mem-
ory life.
3. Peer-to-Peer Data Transfer Performance
For example, the data transfer time of a pair of ADAM-6250 will be
less than 1.2 milliseconds.
