The
Initial setup
mode icon is active only when the
MTSpooler
is not used in a
connection with the module and the transmission is enabled as well. It is assumed the
only changed data is transmitted in the
Initial setup
mode. It means there is a
possibility to initialise the module resources selectively. Note that sending the setup
data causes the immediate and irrevocable activation of the resource.
After selection the
Initial setup
mode, the groups of configuration parameters
disappear from the device window, and only the parameters allowed for the initial
setup are displayed. In the MT-703 module there are the values of counters associated
with binary inputs I1 and I2.
6.2.1. Counters
In the
MT-703
module the initial setup is allowed only for two resources, namely the
counters
associated with binary inputs
I1
and
I2
.
Resource name
Initial value
Variation range
Counter 1
0
0…..2.147.483.647
Counter 2
0
0…..2.147.483.647
After entering a new resource value, the background of the list field changes to yellow.
This means the value was actually changed and may be sent to the module using
Write changes
menu function.
ATTENTION!
Working with
Initial setup
is possible only when the module is connected
to the PC. This prevents the immediate data sending to the module which
may cause the faulty initialization of the module resources.
6.3. Saving the configuration
After entering all required parameters the module configuration is still saved only on
the disk of the computer which runs the configuration program. To save the
configuration in the module, a transmission of data is needed.
The method of sending configuration to the module depends on the method
of
configuration. It can be local or remote via GPRS. In a local configuration method you
may use a USB cable connected to the module. The detailed description of this method
is given in the
MTM
program User Manual.
All battery powered modules working with standby/active cycles require the additional
software for remote configuration. The software package named
MTSpooler
automatically sends the configuration data to the module immediately after its login to
the network. More information on this program is available in the
MTSpooler
User
Manual.
