Setting of parameters by using of optical
”
USB-IRDA” converter
All parameters that is necessary to set-up during common operation can be configured by optical interface. The
settings can be performed through the translucent casing without necessity to open the module’s cover. This is the
significant advantage especially if the module is already mounted to gas-meter and sealed by antifraud seal, because
it is not possible to remove cover without breaking seal.
Principles of the optical configuration, technique of connection to computer and working procedure with using of
the
”
WACO OptoConf”
program are explained in detail in the section
”
Configuration of the WS868-PLE-I
module with using of optical converter”.
Any changes in module’s settings can be performed in
Module configuration table
that opens by click on the
”
Read device” button in
”
WACO OptoConf” program window. View of configuration table is depicted in figure
Figure 16: The WS868-PLE-I module configuration table
In the
upper section of the table
there are
”
read only” type of parameters (factory settings) that refer to the
identification of the module and its components. There are following parameters:
Device name
device name by manufacturer
Device type
device type by manufacturer
Device subtype
device subtype by manufacturer
Serial No.
device serial number (as well MBUS-ID in M-Bus address)
HW Version
hardware version by manufacturer
HW Revision
hardware revision by manufacturer
SW Version
software version by manufacturer
SW Revision
software revision by manufacturer
Uptime
elapsed time from last reset in seconds
All the parameters (except
”
Uptime”) contain information about device identification, series and hardware/software
version and are intended only for manufacturer’s use.
In the
middle section of the table
there is a group of commonly used configurable parameters of the WS868-
PLE-I module. There are following parameters:
