Section 3 Operation
3.3.2 Communication During the connection process, Flowlink checks the stability of
Resolutionthe site’s communications. If communication is found to be unstable, Flowlink presents the Communication Resolution window.
There are two common causes of unstable communications. One cause is a Module Name conflict, which may occur when two or more modules at a site use the same module name. The second cause is a Site Name conflict, which occurs when a module added to the site indicates that it belongs to a different site.
The Communications Resolution window lets you choose how the modules should be reconfigured and which Site Name should be retained. To resolve the communications, select the sites and modules that should be reconfigured and click the OK button. Be aware that reconfiguring a module removes the Site Name, Module Name, program settings, and any stored data. The module is then restarted with the stable Site’s Name, a default Module Name, and default program settings, and the data storage is ready to accept new data.
3.3.3Site and Module Name The Field Wizard is shipped with a default site and module name so it can immediately begin to communicate with Flowlink. You can change the names to something more descriptive using the Site Name and Module Name fields on the Site Info tab in Flowlink.
Keep in mind that the names must be unique among the other site and module names in the open Flowlink database. Site names can be up to 37 characters long. Any character may be used in the name except:
/ | forward slash | \ | back slash |
: | colon | * | asterisk |
? | question mark | “ | |
< | left angle bracket | > | right angle bracket |
