The transparent mode provides a number of other parameters which affect the operation
of the port and when data is transmitted etc. Please see the ‘trcfg’ command for details on
the other parameters.
•
The SDT 5000 is now ready to send messages to the host. Have the RTU (or use a
terminal) to send data in the RTU port. After several seconds, the data should arrive at the
host.
To troubleshoot the RTU port for transparent mode:
There are several commands that can be used to troubleshoot the connection between the SDT
5000 and the RTU.
1.
To send data to the RTU:
>trsend “\x02test data\r”
OK
“<STX>test data<CR>” will be sent out of the RTU port to the RTU.
2.
To monitor what data is received from the RTU:
>trmonitor y
OK
All data received from the RTU will be displayed on the Test Port. For example:
RTU DATA:
00000000: 74 65 73 74 20 64 61 74 61 20 66 72 6F 6D 20 74 test data from t
00000010: 68 65 20 72 74 75 he rtu
Note: When monitoring data the data is NOT set to the host.
3.
To stop monitoring data use the following command or reboot the unit:
>trmonitor n
OK
