Remote Communications
The following discussion deals primarily with communications between
the 6200EX and Host (typically WinCCU).
To communicate with the Host, the 6200EX uses the remote
communications port (Comm 1) that can function as RS232 or RS485. If
the 6270 OEU was ordered, the customer had several communications
options to choose from.
After installation of the 6200EX and with the communications path
complete, the user needs to enter the appropriate communications
parameters. The 6200EX was most likely shipped with Comm 1 set up
for Totalflow Remote Protocol. If not, select the protocol using the Entry
mode of PCCU32 as shown below. The protocol must be selected first
for the appropriate communications parameters to be displayed. A
blinking telephone pole symbol " " in annunciator position A8 (default)
indicates Comm 1 port is active. The symbol may not be visible if the
baud rate is above 2400. See Alarm & Status Codes on page 19 for a full
description of alarm characters, locations, and descriptions.
Other Communication Options
After selecting the protocol, verify the other communication parameters.
All communication parameters with the exception of modems are found
on the Setup and Advanced tabs (See Fig. 12). Modem parameters have
there own tab. Systems are shipped with default settings for
communications but may need fine tuning. The Schedule tab parameters
are only required if the user wants to power-up the communication's port
and communication's devices on and off at designated times to conserve
power.
