Remote Communications

The following discussion deals primarily with communications between
µ
the
FLO and Host (typically WinCCU).
µ
To communicate with the Host, the
FLO has a remote communications
port that can function as RS232, RS485 or RS422. Depending on the
customer's order, most units are shipped with an appropriate cable
between the 15-pin connector (J3) and the communication's device such
as a radio. The other option is a termination board that plugs directly on
the 15-pin connector with appropriate terminals labeled. (See pages 10 &
11)
µ
After installation of the
FLO and with the communications path
complete, the user needs to enter the appropriate communications
µ
parameters. The
FLO was most likely shipped with Com1 set up for
Totalflow Remote Protocol. If not, select the protocol using the Entry
mode of PCCU32 as shown below. The protocol must be selected first
for the appropriate communications parameters to be displayed. A
blinking telephone pole symbol " " in annunciator position A8 (default)
indicates Com1 port is active. See Visual Alarm Codes on page 17 for a
full description of alarm characters, locations, and descriptions.
Other Communication Options
After selecting the protocol, verify the other communication parameters.
All communication parameters with the exception of modems are found
on the Setup and Advanced tabs. Modem parameters have there own
tab. Systems are shipped with default settings for communications but
may need fine tuning. The Schedule tab parameters are only required if
the
user
wants
to
power-up
the
communication's
port
and
communication's devices at designated times to conserve power.
