4 Control Module Configuration

Configure the A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY control module using a Windows

®

 menu-style routine; the

configuration routine requires the Banner-supplied HRMA software and a PC-compatible computer (running Windows

®

 XP,

Vista, or 7). Make a serial data connection between the computer and the DB9 connector on the control module.

4.1 Communications Setup

1. After installing the software, attach the serial communication cable between the control module and the PC.

Note: If an RS-232 interface is used, only one control module is allowed on the line at any one
time.

The minimum connections to the control module’s DB-9 connector are shown in 

Figure 12 

(p. 11).

2. Launch the High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY program.
3. Configure the serial communications port of the PC.

a) Select Options > Serial Port from the High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY main menu.

The program supports serial communication via the COM1-COM20.port of the computer.

b) Highlight the desired serial port to select it.
c) Select Save Settings on Exit to store the serial port selection, if it is not already ON.
Parity is selected here also: Even, Odd or None.

4.1.1 Ping Routine

Perform the Ping routine during system configuration, and before any Diagnostic, Alignment, or Edit routine. The routine

polls all control modules on the communications line (one, in the case of the standard RS-232 line, or up to 15 modules, on

an RS-485 circuit). It then is used to select an individual control module for configuration or alignment.

1. If needed, apply power to the system control module and allow the system to complete its power-up routine.
2. Press F5 or access the MINI-ARRAY menu.
3. Select Ping to perform the Ping routine.

All connected control modules identify themselves with an ID value and baud rate; the routine takes approximately
15 to 20 seconds. After the Ping is performed, all valid control module ID values display in a chart on the screen,
under their appropriate baud rates. Control modules are identified in the chart as X.

Figure 13. Screen showing the result of a completed Ping routine

4. Point to a valid ID and click to select a control module.

System Diagnostics, Alignment, or Edit routines may now be performed for the selected control module.
