CHAPTER 6: i3 CONFIGURATOR CONFIGURATION
6.1 Overview
I3N hardware is programmed with a Windows based PC application called i3 configurator. This application
can be used to program, configure, monitor, and debug all aspects of the I3N unit. Please see the online
help provided with i3 configurator for additional details.
6.2 I3 configurator Status Bar
When the I3N is connected to a PC using i3 configurator software, a Status Bar appears at the bottom of
the screen. The i3 configurator Status Bar can be used to determine if communications have been
established between the I3N and the i3 configurator program. Components of the i3 configurator Status
Bar are explained below.
Ready User: I3AX12X/xxxxx-iCAN
(Model=)
Equal Local :1 Target :2(R) [no forces] MOD
Figure 6.1 - I3 configurator Status Bar
Equal Indicator – indicates whether the current program in I3 configurator is equal to the program stored
in the Target Controller.
• If Equal , the program in i3 configurator is the same as the program stored in the Target Controller.
• If Not Equal , the program in i3 configurator is not the same as the program stored in the Target
Controller.
• If Unknown , there may have been a change since the last time the program in I3 configurator was
compared to the Target Controller.
Communications Status - Indicates the current status of the
“pass through” Connector.
•
Local: xx – Indicates the Network ID of the CONTROLLER to
which the i3 configurator program is physically connected
through its serial port. It can serve as a pass-through device to
other nodes on the network.
• Target: yy(R) –Indicates the Network ID of the device with which
the i3 configurator program is exchanging data.
Note: The Local unit and Target unit can be the same unit,
or they can be separate units.
The following are status indicators:
(R) – Running
(D) - Do I/O
(I) – Idle
(?) – i3 configurator is not communicating with the remote unit.
[no forces] –Indicates no I/O has been forced.
Message Line -
The contents of
these messages are
context sensitive.
The Message line
can be empty.
Current User -
Indicates who is logged (for
security purposes).
Controller Model - Network (Model Confirmation)
•
Controller Model -Indicates the controller model for which
the program in i3 configurator e is configured.
• Network- Indicates the type of network that the program in
i3 configurator expects to use (e.g., iCAN).
•
(Model Confirmation) -Provides the following indications:
•
(Model=) -T he actual Target Controller matches the
configured Controller Model and Network.
• (Model Not=) – The actual Target Controller does not match
the configured Controller Model and Network.
•
(Model?)
– There may have been a change since the last
time the Target Controller was compared to the configured
Controller Model and Network.
File Modified Indicator - Indicates that the
file in the selected window has been
modified but has not been saved.
