If Auto Save mode is set to ON, the current parameters are stored in instrument state 00.
If Auto Save mode is set to OFF, parameters are not automatically stored in instrument state 00.
3.5.3.4 M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS
The item “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” in the “SYSTEM CFG” main menu allows access to M&C configur
a-
tion of the Converter. After this menu item was selected the su
bmenu can be activated by pressing the “E
n-
ter” key. The items of this submenu are explained in the follo
wing:
3.5.3.4.1 M&C MULTIPOINT ADDRESS
The item “M&C MULTIPOINT ADDRESS” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu allows configuring
the device slave address for the multipoint command set, which can be used for remote monitoring and con-
trol of the device. Ad
dresses between ‘@’ (64dec) and ‘Z’ (90dec) are allowed.
3.5.3.4.2 M&C INTERFACE TYPE
The item “M&C INTERFACE TYPE” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu allows to conf
igure the
serial M&C interface to RS232 or RS485. For the pin out in both configurations see chapter 2.7.4. The pa-
rameter values
which can be selected are: “RS232” or “RS485”.
3.5.3.4.3 M&C RS485 TX TERM
The item “M&C RS485 TX TERM” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu allows to activate the bus
termination for the twisted pair RS485 TX signal (data out, chapter 2.7.4 ). This is only relevant if the interface
type is set to RS485. The paramete
r values which can be selected are: “ON” or “OFF”.
3.5.3.4.4 M&C RS485 RX TERM
The item “M&C RS485 RX TERM” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu allows to activate the bus
termination for the twisted pair RS485 RX signal (data in, chapter 2.7.4 ). This is only relevant if the interface
type is set to RS485. The parameter values which can be selected are: “ON” or “OFF”.
3.5.3.4.5 M&C PACKET DELAY
The item “M&C MPT PACKET DELAY” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu sets the transmission
delay for MPT commands. The answer on a received MPT command can be delayed. This is helpful for two
wire bus systems, where without additional delay collisions between a still active master device and an al-
ready active slave device may occur. The basic delay depends on the baud rate and is approx. 4 ms for
19200 baud. The parameter values which can be selected are: “0 ms”, “20 ms”, “40 ms” or “80 ms”.
3.5.3.4.6 M&C INTERFACE BAUD RATE
The item “M&C INTERFACE BAUD RATE” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu allows to confi
g-
ure the baud rate on the M&C serial interface (RS232 or RS485) of the device. The following baud rates can
be configured: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 115200 Baud.
3.5.3.4.7 M&C INTERFACE SETUP
The item “M&C INTERFACE SETUP” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu al
lows to configure the
data format on the M&C serial interface (RS232 or RS485) of the device.
The following formats are allowed: 7E1, 7O1, 7N2, 7E2, 7O2, 8N1, 8E1, 8O1, 8N2
Number of data bits (7 or 8) - Parity (even=E, odd = O, none= N)
–
Stop bits (1 or 2)
3.5.3.4.8 M&C HOSTNAME
The item “M&C
HOSTNAME
” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu allows to config
ure a host-
name for the device. This hostname allows access to the device with a readable label instead of using the IP
address. The NetBIOS interface is used for name resolution and is normally available in Windows networks.
3.5.3.4.9 M&C IP ADDRESS
The item “M&C IP ADDRESS” in the “M&C INTERFACE SETTINGS” submenu allows to confi
gure the IP
Address of the Ethernet M&C-Interface.
