Chapter 5 Function and Configuration of
CommStaff
„
Introduction
CommStaff is a setup tool that communicates with Azbil smart devices (ALTJ9000 and
others) to allow the user to change various settings. It runs on a Windows PC. CommStaff's
communication interface connects to a USB port on the Windows PC, and the communi-
cation cable connects to the communication terminal on the smart device.
CommStaff supports SFN communication and uses a special communication interface.

Precautions When the Connected Device Is Changed
CommStaff continues to communicate with the device to update dynamic values while a
dynamic value like pressure is displayed. If the cable is disconnected from the smart device
in order to change the device, a communication error occurs in CommStaff. To prevent
this error, exit from CommStaff temporarily before disconnecting the cable from the smart
device. After connecting the cable to the new device, restart CommStaff.
y
Do not use CommStaff when the PC is connected to AC power.
y
Do not connect the communication interface before installing the CommStaff software
on the PC. In such a case CommStaff will not operate correctly because drivers will not
be found.
