Interface and connected devices
Communication between the MTP 200 and the Windows PC is
made by the front-side COM/RS232 or RS485 interface at the
contacts of mounting rail bus connector.
By plugging on the COM-cable at the front socket, the change
over from RS485- (offline) to COM-interface (online) is made
automatically.
After disconnection of COM-connection, the RS485 interface is
reactivated.
The RS232 interface and the RS485 interface are galvanic
separated from analog output, auxiliary power and all other
circuits parts.
6.2.1.
Reading MTP data
The command
Read MTP data
starts a data transmission of the entire parameter set of the MTP200 to the
configuration program. The interface connection will only work if the correct entries are made in the screen for
the serial COM interface (COM1 to COM20)) and MTP address (1-255). Should the MTP address be unknown
or not marked on the device, then the unknown address can be determined with the command
Search for
addresses
. After conclusion of the correct transmission, the message
Reading parameters
appears and
must be confirmed with OK.
6.2.2.
Programming MTP data
The command
Program MTP
transfers the parameter set contained from WINSMART program to the
MTP200. After command input the following message appears on the screen:
Existing parameters will be
overwritten. Continue anyway?
With
OK
the procedure is started, after which the confirmation appears
Transferring
parameters
and is
confirmed with
OK
to complete the transmission.
6.2.3.
Overwriting calibration values
If the box for
Overwrite calibration values
is selected in the input screen, the calibration parameters for
analogue input or analogue output can be transferred to the MTP200 with the command
Program MTP
,
possibly updated in the configuration program.
The message then appears in the screen:
Existing parameters will be overwritten. Continue anyway?
The procedure is started with
OK
and the next message reads:
Transferring parameters
. A final
OK
completes the transmission
