1.10.3 Offline Diagnostics
Offline diagnostics are statistics returned in
response to a specific request to a particular
station. The use of this feature requires that
network operation temporarily be sus-
pended.
The following information may be gathered
and displayed via the OFLNDIAG:
•
Supply voltage
•
Analog supply voltage
•
Internal temperature
•
Received signal strength in dBm
•
Forward and relected power in watts
(T96S models only)
1.10.4 Remote Commands
The following commands may be sent re-
motely (using the OFLNDIAG).
•
Begin test transmission (several types
available).
•
Get statistics (diagnostics).
•
Sample network statistics (monitoring
online diagnostics).
•
Get parameters (configuration) from
remote unit.
Sending remote commands and receiving
responses is done with the host application
offline.
1.11 Network Configuration
The T-96H is designed to replace wire lines in SCADA, telemetry and control applications. The
RS-232 serial port allows direct connection to PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) or RTUs
(Remote Terminal Units). Several network configurations are described in the sections that fol-
low.
1.11.1 Basic Network
This configuration has the following characteristics:
•
Master station may be half duplex or
simplex.
•
Online diagnostics are not available in
real time.
•
Remote and local diagnostics, accumu-
lated online diagnostics and control are
available by disconnecting the master
PLC and substituting a PC running the
T96H Offline Diagnostics software
(OFLNDIAG).
