Parameters
Parameter Name and Description
1 - [SCANport Adapter]
Identifies the SCANport product port number to which the
converter is connected.
2 - [DF1 Address]
Sets the DF1 Node Address for the converter. This is a
(1)
decimal value.
3 - [Serial Port Rate]
Sets the serial port rate for the DF1 serial port on the
(1)
converter.
4 - [Comm Flt Action]
Sets the action that the converter and SCANport product
take if the converter detects that DF1 serial communications
are disrupted. This setting is effective only if control I/O is
transmitted through the converter.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. P4 - [Comm Flt Action] lets
you determine the action of the converter and connected SCANport product if
!
communications are disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the SCANport product.
You can set this parameter so that the SCANport product continues to run. Precautions
should be taken to ensure that the setting of this parameter does not create a hazard of
injury or equipment damage.
5 - [Reset Adapter]
If this parameter is set to enable, the adapter is reset. If it is
set to Set Defaults, the parameters in the adapter are reset to
their factory-default settings.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the serial converter is
transmitting control I/O to the SCANport product (indicated by a solid green
!
diamond LED), the SCANport product may fault when you remove or reset the
serial converter. Determine how your SCANport product will respond before
removing or resetting a connected serial converter.
