Operation Of Pc Interface Rsm100; Starting Up - Toshiba RSM 100 Instruction Manual

4. Operation of PC Interface RSM100

4.1 Starting Up

When accessing from a local or a remote PC;
When starting RSM100, the [Start up] screen will appear.
Choose on-line or off-line operation by clicking the [On-line] or [Off-line] button on the [Start
up] screen. In the former, the PC can view the record, status and setting data in the relay, store the
record and setting data and change the settings. In the latter, the PC can view the record and setting
data once stored in the PC and edit the setting data.
When you choose the [Option] of the [Communication] at the top menu, the window below
displays. You can select the RSM-X or Modbus or TCP/IP, and set the connecting type, direct
connection with an RS-232C cable or a modem connection via telephone line or Ethernet LAN. In
case of the direct connection, select [RS-232C], and then set the communication port of your
computer by selecting [Connect using] and communication speed of its serial port by [Baud rate].
Note that this setting of [Baud rate] and the one of your relay should be the same speed. (Relay
setting: "4. Setting(change)" → "3. Comm." → "2. Switch" → "232C") If the settings of
communication speed are not same, the message "Check connection and communication speed. If
you click the "Retry", RSM100 communicates with the relay using current communication speed
of RSM100." appears.
If the message above appears, check the followings:
• Check that the communication speed settings of the relay and RSM100 are same.
• Check that DC supply for the relay is ON.
• Check that the connector for RS232C cable is tightly inserted. If the message still appears,
try to replace the cable.
Note: When the transmission speed is set at high speeds, in some environment, it is difficult
to connect. If errors occur frequently, connect at lower speeds. (Advisory speed
9600bps)
