4 HUMAN INTERFACES. SETTINGS & ACTUAL VALUES 4.1 ENERVISTA 650 SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE
4.1.4.1 COMPUTER SETTINGS:
Shows the communication parameters necessary in order to establish communication with the unit. Such as slave address,
communication port, baud rate, parity, control type and startup mode.
Baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and ModBus slave address for com2 (RS232 front port and second serial port in the
rear communication board) are displayed in the default text logotype main screen.
ModBus Slave Address: ModBus addresses used for serial and Ethernet communication.
Communication ports: port used in the computer for serial communication.
Baud Rate: Baud rate for serial communication (from 1200 up to 115200 bauds in EnerVista 650 Setup, from 300 to
115200 in relay).
Parity: parity for serial communication. None, odd or even can be selected.
Control Type: The available control modes are:
• No Control Type, this option selects the serial communication mode, for use with serial communication ports (front
port, RS485, or plastic or glass fiber optic).
• MODBUS/TCP, this option selects ModBus TCP/IP communication mode, for communication through the Ethernet
port. In this case, the top right window will show the typical parameters to be programmed; IP address, port address
and unit identifier in the MODBUS TCP SETUP section.
• MODEM, this option displays the parameter to set in case of using a modem for the communication, such as Phone
number, Time out (sec.), init. command, type of dialing (tones or pulses).
4.1.4.2 COMMUNICATION CONTROL:
Located at the bottom of the screen, it shows the status of the communication with the relay. With relay not communicating,
a message "650 Setup is not talking to an 650" will be shown and ON button will be enable. Pressing this button, 650 Setup
start communicating with the relay.
With relay communicating a message "650 Setup is now talking to an 650" will be shown and OFF will be enable. Pressing
this button, communications between relay and PC will be closed.
4.1.4.3 COMMUNICATION OPTIMIZATION:
The parameters shown on the bottom right window (Communication optimization) can improve communication, although it
is recommended to leave the default values indicated by the EnerVista 650 Setup. These parameters are the maximum
time to wait for a response in the relay (in ms) and the maximum attempts to perform before assuming communications
failure.
