Password
. You have the option of entering a password to protect the configuration files
against unauthorized changes. When you open a new project, you will be asked to enter a
password - if you do not enter any text - that is, press “ESC” or “Enter”, then password
protection is disabled. If you do enter a password, then you will need to enter this password
to make changes to the configuration or download or upload configuration. You only need to
enter the password each time you enter the project. Without the passowrd, you are able to
view the configuration details but you cannot make changes.
The password can be between 6 and 256 characters. You can also change password by
selecting this option from the “Utilities” menu.
If you are starting a new project, you have the option of “Enabling Security” - please read
Section 4.3.7 and the associated
warnings before using this option.
To proceed with the
configuration, double-click on
the project name on the menu on
the left side of the screen. “Units”
will appear. You can now enter
the types of units which will be
used in the system. If you double-
click on “Units”, then the
modules that have already been
selected will appear.
Loading configuration from an existing module
To load the configuration from a module, connect the module to the PC via the RS232 cable
and click on “Load Unit”. This will allow you to view
the module configuration, change it, or copy it for
another module - refer to section 4.3.3 for more
information.
Adding a new module to the system configuration
To add a new module to the system configuration, click
on “Units” on the left-hand menu and then “Add Unit”.
Select the type of module from the list. The programme
will ask you to select the unit address. For 105U
modules, select an address between 1 and 95. For 105S
modules, select an address between 96 and 127.
The default name for a unit will include the unit address.
For example, “105-4#8” is a 105-4 module with unit
address 8 (and also 9, as a 105-4 takes two unit
addresses). You can change the name of a unit - for
example, you could replace the default name with
“Pump Station 14”.
