8.14 Wind Monitor
Not all sites have a wind monitor. When present, there is one wind monitor per site. If your
site doesn't have a wind monitor, skip this section and go to the next chapter.
The R.M. Young Model 09101 Wind Monitor communicates via an RS485 connection, which
the SmartScanIS supplies through the communication port provided by terminal block
TB3
on
the System Interface board.
Using the wind monitor involves configuring the SmartScanIS and connecting the wind-monitor
hardware.
8.14.1 Configuring the SmartScanIS for RS485 Communication
The baud rate used by the RS485 port must match the baud rate used by the wind
monitor. Currently, the RS485 port defaults to 9600 baud.
Headers must be installed onto the
J1
and
J2
jumpers. These headers should run
vertically (that is, one header should connect the upper-left and lower-left pins and one
header should connect the upper-right and lower-right pins). SmartScanIS units ship
from STC in this configuration.
The System Interface boards contain a jumper for selecting between RS232 and
RS485 on COM1.
Because the SmartScanIS hardware and firmware support RS485 communication, no
RS232/RS485 converter is needed.
