Bacharach FT-10 manual Operating Limitations When Using RDM800 Remote Display

Page 17

Network output variable nvoHgmZoneThresh displays the following information for the zone specified by nviGetZoneThresh:

1.Zone (1-16) whose alarm thresholds are being displayed

2.Leak Alarm Threshold in PPM (0-65535)

3.Spill Alarm Threshold in PPM (0-65535)

4.Evacuate Alarm Threshold in PPM (0-65535)

To change the Leak, Spill, or Evacuate alarm thresholds for a zone, use the nviSetZoneThresh input network variable as described earlier.

Operating Limitations When Using RDM800 Remote Display

When an RDM800 remote display is used, LonWorks will have access to the HGM300 as long as the RDM800 is in either the SYSTEM or ZONE VIEW screen. If the RDM800 is set to display any other screen, it will respond to polls from the LonWorks adapter with an HGM BUSY exception code. The LonWorks adapter will handle the exception by setting all the zone statuses = HGM BUSY. When the RDM800 is returned to the SYSTEM or ZONE VIEW screen, normal LonWorks monitoring will resume.

If the operator leaves the RDM800 in some screen other than SYSTEM or ZONE VIEW for an extended period of time (10 minutes default), the RDM800 times out and automatically returns to either the SYSTEM or ZONE VIEW screen. This will restore normal LonWorks monitoring.

Communications LED Indicators

See Figure 4 for the locations of the communications LED indicators.

The communications adapter board has four LED communications status indicators numbered 1-4. The meanings of these indicators are as follows:

LED 1 ON: Adapter is transmitting a poll/command to the HGM300

LED 2 ON: Adapter is receiving a response from the HGM300

LED 5 ON: Adapter internal communications (response from RCM CPU to Neuron CPU)

LED 6 ON; Adapter internal communications (poll/command from Neuron CPU to RCM CPU)

Under normal conditions, LEDs 5 and 6 will show a burst of alternating blinks about every 8 seconds. This indicates that the two processors internal to the LonWorks adapter are communicating with each other normally. Occasionally LEDs 5 and 6 will blink more frequently if commands (to change alarm thresholds, for example) are coming in from the LonWorks network.
