Communication between the Gas Analyzer and the Computer
Communication via Ethernet
Setting up the communication between the gas analyzer and the computer
Check the TCP/IP parameters in the gas analyzer and the computer
Communication between the gas analyzer and the computer is executed
via an Ethernet connection, either as a point-to-point connection or via a
network.
The Ethernet connection enables communication
·
with the test and calibration software TCT-light,
·
with the configuration software ECT,
·
for transmission of the QAL3 data, if the option QAL3 monitoring has
been integrated in the gas analyzer,
·
for reading the measured values and for calibrating and controlling
the gas analyzer via the Modbus TCP/IP protocol.
NOTE
Detailed information on "Modbus" can be found in the technical
information "EL3000 Modbus" and "EL3010-C – Modbus via TCP/IP".
Basically, the following steps are required to set up the communication
between the gas analyzer and computer:
1
Check and set the TCP/IP parameters in the gas analyzer and the
computer.
2
Establish and test the Ethernet connection.
3
Start the communication between the gas analyzer and the computer.
The TCP/IP parameters in the gas analyzer and the computer must be
checked and changed if necessary for operation of the configurator. In
the case of a point-to-point connection, the IP addresses in the gas
analyzer and the computer must be carefully matched.
Example: gas analyzer: 192.168.1.4, computer: 192.168.1.2
