Status, Diagnostics
When you select Diagnostics from the Status menu, a pick
list of available diagnostics appears (Figure 3-14).
Diagnostics, CSedit Version
This selection indicates the version number of CSedit.
Diagnostics, MC Version
This selection indicates the version number of the ROM
contained in the master controller.
Diagnostics, Comm Error Screens
When you select any of the comm error items, a screen
similar to Figure 3-15 will appear. This particular screen
shows data communication errors between ports and the
master controller (MC). Port numbers are listed on the left
side of the table, followed by their names in the next col-
umn. The “Msgs From KP” column indicates transmission
errors from keypanels to the master controller. The “Msgs to
KP” column indicates transmission errors from the master
controller to keypanels. Errors are documented in two ways:
the “Err” columns indicate total accumulated errors. The
“BER” column indicates the bit error rate during the last ten
minutes of operation. The counters are reset to zero on reset
or power-up of the controller. The counters may be updated
by pressing the ENTER key. In general, error rates of no
more than one error per hour are normal. Error rates be-
tween one per hour and one per minute are higher than nor-
mal but may not cause significant problems. Error rates
greater than 1 per minute usually require immediate atten-
tion.
Systems installed in facilities with good grounding, using
high quality telephone type twisted pair wiring will normally
operate with error rates between 0 and 20 per 24 hours. With
shielded wire, the rates are generally higher, because of the
additional cable capacitance (5-30 per 24 hours). Symptoms
of higher error rates begin to appear when the rate exceeds 1
per minute. Symptoms include cross points which remain
closed for no apparent reason, IFB’s with muted program
when no keys are closed, slow response, and general incon-
sistent or “flaky” operation. General causes of high error
rates include:
•
Cables too long
•
Poor facility grounding practices
•
Crosstalk, especially when using non-twisted wir-
ing, with long parallel runs of data cables in close
proximity to each other containing differing data
streams.
•
Noise induction: Keypanel cabling running paral-
lel to lighting cables etc.
•
A bad keypanel: One keypanel of a group of 10
has a failed RS485 driver or processor.
•
One side of a data line shorted to ground or audio
