12. Click on <Open> and then <Send>.
Note:
An error will occur if the user takes more that 50 sec-
onds to perform this step. If an error occurs, repeat
this procedure.
13. Verify that HyperTerminal displays:
FILE TRANSFERRED FROM PC UNIT....THE
MODULE MUST RESTART...
14. Cycle power to the PLC.
15. The WATTCP.CFG file may be conveniently
viewed with the "V" command.
A 10/100BaseT Ethernet network cable may
now be connected to the top RJ45 jack.
Notes
1. Honeywell strongly recommends that any
gas detection network which is connected to
the Internet be protected from unauthorized
access by a firewall.
2. Honeywell recommends that a gas detection
Ethernet network be separated from a general-
purpose computer networks by a switch. This
is because the transmission time of Ethernet
networks is non-deterministic and can become
large if the network is heavily loaded.
3. When the interface is correctly installed in the
PLC backplane the "BP ACT" light will glow
steady amber. The "OK" light will glow steady
green.
4. The "LINK" indicator will glow steady green
when a valid physical-layer connection is
established to an Ethernet switch.
5. An external computer can confirm that the
interface is set to the correct IP address by use
of the "ping" command.
6. The MVI46-MNET contains a second
configuration file named "MNET.CFG". If the
Appendix A - Network Interface and Options
module was purchased from Honeywell,
this file will be preloaded. Otherwise, the file
provided in "C:\hmi\FieldbusFiles" must be
loaded.
7. The 122 words of Vertex M status which are
listed in Table F-5 may be viewed on the
diagnostic port. These are mapped as registers
0 to 121 in the ProSoft database. Instructions
on viewing the ProSoft database are in
Chapter 6 of the ProSoft User Manual.
8. PC-based software for communicating with the
MVI46-MNET and other Modbus/TCP devices
may be purchased from Witte Software at
