3 Parameterization using MBCONF
The configuration of the device must be adapted by the customer to the respective installation.
We include the software MBCONF with delivery. You can get the old software PADCON for MS
DOS or MS Windows 3.1 systems from our web page www.relay.de.
3.1 Installation
The software MBCONF for configuration of the analogue adapter is a 32-bit application, which
can be executed on IBM-PC compatible computers under the operating systems Windows 95 /
98 / NT 4.0. The desktop PC or laptop must have a free serial RS232C interface to connect the
M-Bus level converter. The AnDi4 to be parameterized must be connected directly (i.e. as only
M-Bus device) to the M-Bus output of the level converter.
Please start the file "MBCONF_SETUP.EXE" from Windows Explorer or via "Start – Execute" to
install the software from version 1.40 up. Subsequently you can select the language of the
installation procedure. The setup software can create a program group and a link on the
desktop on demand. You can then execute both versions for German and English language
either from start menu or desktop.
3.2 Operation
After program start the user operates the software according to the Windows conventions with
the mouse or the keyboard. If you stay with the mouse on a button or an input field, then a hint
to its function appears. Light-grey fields and boxes are not capable for editing.
All input fields and buttons have an underlined letter. The function can be activated by
simultaneous pressing of the keys [ALT] and the respective letter. Within dialogs the cursor can
be
moved
with
the
keys
[TAB]
or
[SHIFT][TAB
]
forwards
and
back.
[SPACE] activates or deactivates selection boxes. Multiple selection boxes (arrow at the right
edge) can be activated with []. The user then selects an entry with [] and []. By pressing
[RETURN] the selected entry is taken over. With [ESC] the selection box is left without transfer.
The program is arranged as a sheet system. The sheet "Info" contains general options of the
communication with the M-Bus device to be configured. In this sheet the user can select the
serial port of the PC, the baudrate of the PC, the baudrate of the M-Bus device and the M-Bus
primary address which is used for communication. After a successful connection with the M-Bus
device, further manufacturer information is shown in the sheet "Info" and additional device-
specific sheets are displayed.
