Operating modes and relevant hardware set-ups
The flexibility of the SY1527 system offers a wide range of different hardware set-ups to
operate the system. These can be schematically referred to four main categories which
emphasise the way of operating the SY1527 system and the type of external devices
used to control it. These are:
Standalone operation
;
Remote operation via terminal
(which includes
Multicrate Operation
);
Remote operation by using a Web Browser
;
Remote operation via Host computer
.
Each of these operating mode includes more than one possible hardware set-up. In the
following subsections these four different operating modes are described in further detail
with particular emphasis on the hardware set-ups available for each mode. For further
details on the operating modes, please refer to the
User’s Manual
.
7.3.1 Standalone
operation
Standalone operation
is intended as the interactive control and monitoring of one
SY1527 system by using the only control devices located on the front panel (LCD screen,
keypad and compact switch) or, optionally, an external keyboard and/or VGA monitor
which can be connected to the system to make an easier input and monitoring of the
data. Fig. 7.1 shows the hardware set-ups available in standalone operation.
Refer to § 7.4.1, p.56 for details about cabling and how to connect the keyboard and/or
the monitor. For further details on the operating mode please refer to the
User’s Manual
