11 Commissioning
After the equipment has been installed and connected correctly, the sensor begins
autonomously to take measurements. A Windows
®
PC with serial interface, UMB-Config-Tool
software and interface cable (SUB-D 9 pole; jack - socket; 1:1) are required for configuration
and test purposes.
Attention must be paid to the following points:
Check for correct equipment operation on site by carrying out a measurement with the
aid of the UMB-Config-Tool (see page 28).
The device must be aligned to the North in order to ensure correct wind measurement
(see page15).
If several
Ventus
devices are operated on a UMB network, a unique device ID must be
assigned to each device (see page 24).
There is no protective cover to remove on the sensor itself.
12 Configuration and Test
12.1 Lufft ConfigTool
For configuring and testing the
Ventus
Lufft provides the proprietary software UMB-
ConfigTool.Net. This program can also be used to update the firmware of the
Ventus
.
You will find the PC version on the Lufft homepage:
https://www.lufft.com/resources/
Download the software UMB-ConfigTool.Net and install it on your computer. Use the online help
of the software in order to get familiar with the program in general.
The coming chapters only deal with aspects that apply specifically to
Ventus
.
Notes:
During configuration and test all other interrogating devices such as modems / LCOM
etc. have to be disconnected from the network.
Note:
The communication settings of the UMB-ConfigTool.Net have to be the same as in the
device.
Ventus
default settings are: baud rate: 19200, data format 8N1.
