Communicating with the
Workstation Using
SuperVision
The S6104 can communicate with
SuperVision through the Access Port or the
LogiStat Port. The CMnet type determines
whether the Access Port or LogiStat Port can
be used for workstation communications (see
Table 2).
Although communication is slower through
the LogiStat Port, the LogiStat sensor may be
more accessible than the S6104 module.
NOTE
The LogiStat Port can only be used
for communications when the S6104 is on an
ARC156 CMnet.
Communicating Through the LogiStat
Port Using SuperVision
The S6104 communicates with SuperVision
through the LogiStat connected at the
module’s LogiStat Port. While connected, the
S6104 does not allow a restart, a memory
transfer, or any other action that would break
the pass-through connection.
To communicate through the LogiStat Port,
the S6104 must:
• be on an ARC156 CMnet
• use module driver v6.01d or later.
Communication speed is fixed at 1200 baud.
1. Connect the computer’s serial port to the
EIA-232 port of the APT using a standard
straight-through cable.
2. Set the APT’s Mode Select switch to TTL
(see Figure 4.)
If you are using a LogiStat Plus without
supplemental power to the APT, make
sure the LED on the LogiStat Plus is on
indicating that it can provide power to the
APT. If the LED is not on, you can provide
power to the APT using the Supplemental
Power +5V dc connection and the special
power cable to a laptop keyboard jack or
an external supply, such as a 5V dc
transformer.
