Installation
3.3.4 Network installation
For network installation, you need a network management tool
(LNS based or not). Examples of network management tools
are MetraVision and LonMaker for Windows. Here you find
brief information on how this is made. You find more
information in “TAC Xenta, Guidelines for zone applications”.
The installation has two steps:
1. Feed information about the controllers’ unique neuron-ID
into the network management tool’s data base.
2. Let the network management tool install the controller on
the network. The controller will then also get an address.
There are two ways to feed the neuron-ID into the data base:
1. Manually feed the neuron-ID into the network management
tool. To make this easier you can use a bar code reader to
read the detachable ID-neuron label, which you find on all
controllers. It is convenient to gather these labels when you
go around and make the basic configuration, and stick them
to a form, drawing or similar. In the manual “TAC Xenta,
Guidelines for zone applications” there is a form for this
purpose.
2. Use the service pin function. You can only do this when the
controller is connected to the network. On the controller
there is a service pin key in a hole in the upper left corner, at
terminal C1. When you push this, the controller sends out its
neuron-ID. The network management tool can then read the
neuron-ID from the network, to save it in its data base.
3.3.5 Network variable binding
How binding is done depends on which network management
tool is used. To get exact information, you should use the tool’s
documentation. In “TAC Xenta Network manual”, there is
however a description of how network variables are bound
with Metra Vision.
To bind network variables is not an issue when the controller is
used in stand-alone operation.
3.3.6 Function test
You should also make sure that the control works as intended.
In chapter 5 all the controller’s functions are described.
In chapter 6 you find help, should a problem occur.
