6. EM GUI orientation
6.8 Con fi guration Menu > Network resource area
General
This part of the System con fi guration page allows listing devices available on the local network and identifying them.
Description
The panel in this area has three tabs:
•
Discovered: Lists all of the devices discovered on the local
network, regardless of the selected System.
• In use: Lists the devices in the selected System.
• Comm Setup: If the EM GUI is running on an EC-200
controller, this tab detects and shows if an EC-50 is
connected to the larger controller.
Note: When the Discovered tab is selected, the Event Master
ToolSet Software will continuously send a UDP broadcast over
the network to locate devices (every 5 seconds).
Next to the device name an LED indicates the status of the unit:
•
Yellow : Found in network but not assigned
• Green: Assigned and currently has an open or active
communication port
• Red: Assigned but currently has errors trying to communicate
(heart beat communication failure, TCP connection dropped,
etc. )
• Orange: There is a con fi guration error with the unit:
- Input / Output cards not right justi fi ed. Refer to the
corresponding section below of the card placement rules
and error color code.
- Input / Output con fi guration mismatch with the actual unit.
Refer to the corresponding con fi guration section of the
card placement rules and error color code.
The small arrow in each device opens a detail menu for the
device, stating most notably the ID of the unit who is used when
units are linked.
In the most of the case, devices are automatically detected and the user just need to add the new device via drag and drop into
the system diagram (see
How to add a device into the selected system below). But, under certain circumstances in Network
communication the normal UDP based auto detection of Event Master Compatible Devices might not work. A fi rewall or a tightly
con fi gured switch are examples. In that case a Manual direct TCP/IP request can be sent to a speci fi c IP Address (see How to
manually add a device into the selected system below).
How to add a device into the selected system
1. Left click on the device to be assigned to the selected system.
2. Drag it to the System diagram area.
