Chapter 2. Configure the 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8 and I/O modules

Before using the 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8 and any I/O modules connected to it, the following settings must be configured:

•Networking settings: IP, Mask, Gateway of 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8

•Power on value of AO, DO modules

•Safe value of AO, DO modules

•Input range of AI modules

•Noise filter of AI modules

•Check sum of all communication protocol

The most important thing at the beginning stage is the network setting. After assigning the network setting, the VxComm Utility can be used to create a virtual COM port to map the 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8, and then the DCON utility can be used to configure other settings.

2.1 Configure the network settings

Network settings can only be configured via the RS-232 COM Port.

There are three tools that can be used to configure the network settings of 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8.

•By “Configuration Wizard“

•By “MiniOS7 Utility”

•By “SMMI Menu”

2.1.1 By “Configuration Wizard”

The “Configuration Wizard” gives step by step information for configuring the network settings. The wizard is most useful for detecting the host PCs network settings, searching the local network to locate a valid IP, Mask and Gateway address. Using the “Configuration Wizard”, allows automatic detection of the important settings, removing the need to contact system administrators for support.

Step1: Use CA-0915 to connect COM1 of 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8 to COM1/2 of the host PC.

Step2: Install PCDiag to the host PC by running

CD:\Napdos\7188e\tcp\PCDiag

Step3: Follow the instructions given by the “Configuration Wizard” until the following window appears
