CN8-SW™UserÕs Guide

8.Any message that can be displayed on a controllerÕs front panel will also be shown on the CN8-SW display. Operators can see at a glance if a controller is in standby or other special mode, and if the controller detects a problem such as an open sensor.

If any controllers were not recognized:

a)they were not powered up during the Òfind controllersÓ operation, or

b)their communication settings were not set to the factory defaults (Omega Plus Protocol controllers) or to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (Omega Protocol).

or

c)the network has not been wired correctly.

Begin by checking (a), then (b). If neither is the problem, check (c). Once the problem has been fixed, add the unrecognized controllers manually as described in 4.4.3. After adding the missing controllers, save the CN8-SW Setup file as described in 4.8.

A Òtext onlyÓ view is available for operators who prefer to see the controller setpoints and process variables in list form. To access the text only view, select View Text.
