Power, Status
LEDs
Each VersaTRAK or Mini-VersaTRAK RTU has a Power LED, and a status LED that
indicates configuration and communication status by blinking in different ways. The status
LED is documented fully in Section 9.
Isolation
Every on-board discrete I/O channel is isolated from logic circuitry and from any expansion
I/O modules for fault-free operation. Additional levels of isolation are provided with
SIXTRAK I/O modules. Refer to the product specifications in the SIXNET online help files
for more information.
SIXNET
Software Tools
SIXNET
supplies the "mission oriented" tools you need for every step of your project from
the initial specification, through startup, and years of trouble free operation. Configuration
information flows between
SIXNET
Windows, saving you time (you don't have to enter
data multiple times) and dramatically reducing data entry errors. Refer to the on-line help in
each program for details.
SIXNET
I/O Tool
Kit
The SIXNET I/O Tool Kit is a configuration, calibration and maintenance tool for
VersaTRAK and Mini-VersaTRAK RTUs. Use the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit to specify
VersaTRAK systems, create a bill of materials and price the system. Then configure I/O
features, perform channel-by-channel calibrations in meaningful engineering units, and
perform live diagnostics at each RTU.
IOmap
Control
Room
Control Room IOmap is a shared resource database that enables multiple Windows programs
to simultaneously access
SIXNET
I/O. Built-in scan tasks allow communication over serial
ports, Ethernet and
SIXNET
networks. The Control Room talks to your applications with a
flexible combination of DDE, Modbus protocol, and direct DLL function calls (from Visual
Basic and C/C++). Access the IOmap functions from within the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit.
Sixlog
Sixlog
Sixlog is datalogging software for VersaTRAK and Mini-VersaTRAK RTUs. Data is logged
into protected memory in the RTU. Then Sixlog uploads the data files and saves them into
ASCII format files that are easy to import into databases, spreadsheets and other Windows
applications. Access the Sixlog functions from within the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit.
