– Appendix : Checking Loop Programming
To verify the Loop/Cluster is correctly programmed into the SG Software, you must look in the
Loop Properties screen in the System Galaxy software.
Go the Communication Server and start the SG Software
by double-clicking the SG
Icon on the desktop.
Log in to the software with a master operator
(or user that has rights to view and edit).
Click the following path on the menu bar ‘Configure>Hardware>Loops
or click on the
Loop Toolbar button. You could also right-click on the Loop’s icon in the Hardware tree.
The Loop Properties screen will open.
In the Loop Properties screen,
select the name of the Loop/Cluster
in question.
Verify that the Loop/Cluster ID matches the Cluster ID at the Controller in question.
Use the Web Browser to see this or use HyperTerminal to get into the controller and fix the
Cluster ID to match the software
.
Verify that the Loop Type is set to 600-series.
If you had this field incorrectly set to 500
type you
must
delete all controllers and then delete this loop. Then you can reprogram
the loop using the correct 600-series in the type field. You cannot simply switch this field.
Verify that the connection Type is TCP/IP.
Set this to TCP/IP if it is not already set.
Verify that the Event Server IP Address field is correctly set to
the IP Address of the
computer running the GCS Event Service (you can find this using the
ipconfig
at the Event
Server to find this address – see
Appendix-I.
Verify that the Remote Port is set to 4003
(not 3001). The Comm Service uses this to
connect to the Event Service.
Verify that the Communication Server IP Address
is correctly set
to the name or IP
Address of the computer that is running the Comm Service.
Note:
sometimes the name server sets a name that cannot be resolved. To ensure this is
not a problem, use the IP Address of the Comm Server. (you can find this using the
ipconfig
at the Comm Server to find this address – see
Appendix-I)
Save any changes by pressing the [apply] button.
