RTU Master auto configuration (Q2/3 2017)
Apart from the detailed configuration of the RTU master mode as described above, the
RTU Master Autoconfiguration will be a very easy way to do simple Point-to-
(Multi)point setups with only a few actions.
The auto configuration works in these steps:
The radio master and the up to 4 slaves are configured to use the same radio
frequency
On the auto configuration page, the number of slaves which should be used will
be entered
The auto configuration will be started by the click of a button. The family
address of the master will be set similar to its serial number to ensure a unique
isolated network.
The master radio is now searching for the first slave radio. One of the slave
RTU-810 must be powered on and set into configuration mode (by pressing the
configuration switch in the back of the device for one second until the "OK"
LED starts flashing)
Once the master can talk to the slave in configuration mode, it'll get the available
information about the slave like available physical I/O etc.
The slave will be automatically set to the same family address as the master and
will have a slave address automatically assigned. Finally the configuration mode
will be automatically ended on the slave device.
This procedure will be repeated with any other slave RTU-810
Once the last slave has been configured by the master, the master will
automatically the I/O configuration to and from the slaves as follows:
The binary and analog channels from the slaves to the master will be equally
divided between them, depending on the available outputs on the master. Each
slave will transfer the same number of binary and analog inputs to the master.
The binary and analog channels from the master to the slaves will be configured
in one of two configurable methods:
Either, the binary outputs and analog outputs from the slaves will be equally
divided between them, depending on the available inputs on the master. The
master will transfer the same number of binary and analog inputs to the slaves.
Or, the binary and analog channels from the master are sent to all slaves in
parallel so that each slave will get the same data from the master.
The radio polling will finally start.
