7.5.3. Unit configuration
If you selected the menu point
"Configure unit"
in the
"Unit configuration"
menu, configuration
menu appears on the display:
7.5.3.1. Setting the serial interface
You can select the mode of the serial interface with keys
and
in the input field
"Ser.mode"
, confirming your
selection with the
.key afterwards There are five
different types of operation available : 1. = "Cam-BUS", 2.
= "Standard", 3. = "Multiuser", 4. = "S5-L1" and 5. =
"3964R". When you select a specific communication
mode, you have to make sure, that every connected
device you want to make contact with supports this communication mode. Please note also, that you
can specify the type of serial interface with your order of the CamCon. You can choose between an
RS232 or an RS485 interface. All four "Ser.Modes" operate with the RS232 point to point
communication as well as with the RS485 BUS communication. See also chapter "4.1.7. Pin allocation
of the serial RS485 interface" on page 16 and chapter "7.5.3.1.6. Input of the unit number" on page 69.
Note:
As a standard, the device comes with Ser.Mode set to
"Multiuser"
and the unit number
set to
"0"
.
7.5.3.1.1. The "Cam-BUS" communication mode
Select this mode, if you want to be able to program or display CamCon cam controllers from different
places, e.g. you want the CamCon, the daughter display CD10 and the PC via the RS485 BUS.
Attention:
Using the configuration above or similar requires that
all
CamCon devices, as well as any
connected PC be equipped with an RS485 serial interface and a software of at least
December 1996.
7.5.3.1.2. The "Standard" communication mode
The standard mode operates with point to point communication, i.e. you can only connect 2 devices,
e.g. a CamCon to a PC or a CamCon to a CamCon DC50/51 Terminal. Since this communication
mode does not use any protocol security, its usage is only allowed for testing purposes.
7.5.3.1.3. The "Multiuser" communication mode
Contrary to the "
Cam-BUS
" mode, it is "
not
" possible to operate several devices, e.g. CamCon
Terminal DC51/T4, the daughter display CD10 and the PC, on the RS485 BUS.
(PRESET)
7.5.3.1.4. The "S5 - L1" communication mode
This setting is neccessary, if you want to program the CamCon device via a Siemens S5 CPU. The
process is a point to point communication, i.e. you can only connect the CamCon and the Siemens S5
CPU. If you want to store the data of your CamCon on a PC, you have to brake your connection to the
S5 CPU. For the S5 - L1 communication mode, you can order a connection set compsed of : a TTY
cable, function segments and a handbook (Ordering.No.: PCXX/S5-L1 XX=CamCon Type).
7.5.3.1.5. The "3964(R)" communication mode
This setting is neccessary, if you want to program the CamCon device via a seriell interface with the
RK512 prozedur. The process is a point to point communication.
