Operation of Remote Units Via the Controller:
Once an RTU is connected and communicates with the controller it can be immediately
used if any of its I/O elements are defined. Nevertheless, the Open Field software consists
of a mechanism which enables you to view each RTU status and define which are supposed
to be connected and should alert upon disconnecting. (See CRTU definitions in the Open
Field Manual).
Defining Inputs and Outputs for Remote Units:.
Remote Unit Tester
The Remote Unit Tester is a tool that assists in the establishment and maintenance of
the remote unit system. The Tester enables inspection of the proper working order of
communication and the switch definitions of the unit independently of the entire system.
The Tester makes it easier to isolate and locate a fault or failure.
Operating Instruction
1.
Pull out the connector of the communication line from the card of the unit you want to
test. For 2-2 cards, you must turn off the controller and take out each wire separately,
since there is no pull out connector.
2. Connect the three wires to the tester, as described in the diagram. Warning! Do not
turn the Tester on before it is connected!
3. Turn the Tester on by pressing the switch. On the panel you’ll see the following
message:
