12 Configuration and Testing
Lufft provides Windows
®
PC software (UMB Config Tool) for configuration purposes. The
sensor can also be tested and the firmware updated with the aid of this software.
12.1 Factory Settings
The sensor is delivered with the following settings:
Class ID:
5 (cannot be modified)
Device ID:
1 (gives address 5001h = 20481d)
Baud rate:
19200
RS485 protocol:
UMB binary
Calculation interval:
10 measurements
Pyrometer offset:
0°C
Pyrometer emissivity:
0.95
Water film moisture threshold: 30 µm
Water film wetness threshold: 100 µm
Note:
The device ID must be changed if several non-invasive road sensors are operated on
a UMB network, as each device requires a unique ID. It makes sense to start from ID 1 and
continue in ascending order.
12.2 Configuration with the UMB Config Tool
The operation of the UMB Config Tool is described in detail in the operating instructions for
the Windows
®
PC software. For this reason only the menus and functions specific to this
sensor are described here.
12.2.1 Sensor Selection
In ‘Sensor Selection’, the road sensor is displayed as NIRS31-UMB (Class ID 5).
Note:
All other devices which are used in the polling process, e.g. modems, LCOM etc.,
must be disconnected from the UMB network during configuration.
