Ethernet_Fail Bit; Assigning Asna To A; Assign And Configure A Discrete Channel - Raco Catalyst Owner's Manual

Ethernet_Fail Bit

The Catalyst Ethernet Module constantly monitors the status of the Ethernet
connection. If the connection is good (the Ethernet cable is connected and the
Catalyst is actively receiving data from the PLC) the adapter will set address
1*2*01992 to 0. If the Catalyst is not connected or is not receiving data, the adapter
will set address 1*2*01992 to 1 indicating a failure in the Ethernet connectivity.
We recommend that the first SNA that you configure is the Ethernet_Fail bit so that
you can easily verify that the connection is good for the remainder of the setup. It is
usually set to the last alarm channel in your Catalyst to leave the lower channels open
for standard alarms, e.g. Ch. 56 in a 56 channel Catalyst.
D. Assigning a SNA to a Channel
The user must assign an address to a channel for each register he wants to monitor.
They must also specify the alarm condition when configuring each channel.
The process will only be briefly reviewed here as it is covered in detail in the Catalyst
manual.

Assign and Configure a Discrete Channel

1. From the PC's Start Menu, start Alarmware and connect to the attached
Catalyst.
