Configuration of CIU Plus’s
In the 880 series CIU Plus, the following parts can be configured:
•
Hostports
•
Hot standby (if applicable)
•
FieldPort 1
•
FieldPort 2
•
The hot standby settings are required if redundant CIU Primes
and/or CIU Pluses are installed.
The host port setting are required to make the CIU Plus compatible
with the connected hardware and software, i.e. a PLC, Entis Pro or a
DCS system. The FieldPort settings inform the CIU Plus about the
communication setting to one or more CIU Primes.
Linking Gauges, Tanks and CIU’s
After all the data inputs, Tanks, CIU Primes and CIU Pluses are
configured the linking of all devices can commence. On basis of the
actual or planned installation, the user has now to link the hardware:
•
the data inputs to the tanks,
•
the tanks to the CIU Primes,
•
the CIU Primes to the CIU Pluses.
Downloading configuration data
Once you have verified all the settings of all the devices, you can
download the configuration database into the respective CIU’s.
The first time it is advised to do downloading directly on the targeted
CIU (Prime of Plus). Ensite Pro offers this downloading as a standard
feature, even over modem lines.
Later modifications on the CIU configuration can also be done via a
CIU Plus into a CIU Prime, or even via Entis Pro from any of the
network stations.
