Establishing Communication with Controllers

4.To select another baud rate, use the dropdown list.

5.Click on OK. The value will be sent to the controller and the window will close. (Once the value is written to the controllerÕs non-volatile memory, communication with this controller is lost until the CN8-SW baud rate has been set to match.)

6.Repeat the process to assign the same new baud rate to every Omega Plus controller.

7.Use the controller front panel display and buttons to set the same new baud rate in every controller that supports the original Omega Protocol. (You can view, but not change, the baud rate in these controllers using the CN8-SW parameters window.)

8.After you have set all the controllers to the same new rate, select Options Communications.

9.Set the CN8-SW computer to match the new rate configured for all the controllers.

10.Communication with all controllers will be established again. The main display will be updated to reflect the current process variable and setpoint for each controller.
