Programming the FDY
All operating parameters of the FDY are set using
a PC, a serial communication cable and Moore
Industries’ Intelligent PC Confi guration software. When
the PC Confi guration program is loaded and running,
most of the parameters for the connected transmitter
are shown on a single screen. This makes it easy to
determine which aspects of transmitter operation need
to be changed to suit the application requirements.
Once the software settings are made, they are
downloaded to the transmitter in the form of a
confi guration fi le and stored in the non-volatile unit
memory. You can choose to save a backup copy of the
fi le on your PC hard drive or external media.
Program the FDY by connecting the FDY to the PC,
setting the appropriate parameters in the PC program,
and downloading the confi guration.
Connecting the FDY to the PC
The fi rst step in confi guring the FDY is connecting
the transmitter to the PC program and attaching the
appropriate input devices. Connect the FDY as shown
in Figure 6 below; refer to Table 9 for a description of
required equipment. After the FDY is confi gured, you
can begin programming the basic parameters.
