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 pulse adaptor 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 PadPuls M1C 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 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.
