DCP200 Profile Controller & Recorder - Product Manual

A communications settings screen is shown whenever the user attempts to connect to the instrument from the software. The settings must be correct in order for communications to work successfully. First correctly select Configuration Socket or Bus as the Device connector, and select the PC Serial Com port that you have connected to

For Modbus TCP, select Ethernet (bus coupler).

If connecting via the configuration port, the Start and Stop bits must be 1 and Data bits 8. Parity must be None and address 1. The data bit-rate should be 4800 if Slot A is fitted with an Auxiliary input, 9600 if the Ethernet option is installed or 19,200 for a Digital Input or if Slot A is empty.

If the instrument has an RS485 module fitted, the Address, Parity and Bit rate values must match those of the instrument (even if you are connecting via the configuration port). The Start and Stop bits must be 1 and Data bits 8.

If connecting via the Modbus TCP module, enter the instrument’s IP address and set the Port address to 502

USB Memory Stick Folders & Files

If a USB memory stick is to be used to transfer files between the instruments and/or the software, the files must be stored in specific DEVICE, CONFIG and PROFILE folders on the USB stick. When saving files from the software to the memory stick, ensure that you save them to the correct folder. Local storage on you PC can be in any folder of your choosing. The USB option also limits the file name to 8 characters plus the 3 digit . bct or .pfl extension. Longer file names will be truncated.

DEVICE – This folder must be located in the

Root of the USB memory stick

CONFIG – Configuration files (*.bct)

PROFILE – Profile program files (*.pfl)

RECORDER – Recorder log folders/files. These can be created or saved from the PC software.

CAUTION:

When saving a file, the data will be overwritten If the file name already exists.
