VERIFYING COMMUNICATIONS
To verify communications between the M4RTU/M4I/O and the host PC, use the OptoTerm utility which is
included with FactoryFloor. In OptoTerm, highlight the controller to communicate with, and then select
VIEW
and then
STATUS
from the menu bar. If the PC can successfully communicate with the M4 controller, a window
will pop up on the PC screen which displays information about the M4 controller. Information such as the M4
controller’s kernel version, the name of the current strategy, and the controller’s current date and time. If the
communication is working correctly the time should update every one or two seconds, which can be verified by
observing the seconds portion of the time field.
If you have not established successful communications between the two devices:
•
Make sure you powered down and powered up the M4RTU/M4 I/O after changing any configuration
jumpers. Refer to Chapter 3 — Installation and Setup to verify wiring connections and jumper setting.
•
Check PC hardware and the physical connection between the M4RTU/M4 I/O and the PC.
