Download via DX-9100 Controller and N2 Bus
Connect an RS-232-C/RS-485 converter (type MM-CVT101-x in North America and type IU-9100-810x in Europe) to one of the serial communication ports (COM1 or COM2) of the personal computer on which the GX Tool is running. Connect the N2 Bus of the DX-9100 to the converter unit connected to the PC.
Set the address switches and jumpers on the DX-9100 and XT/XP devices as required, and connect the XT/XP devices to the XT Bus of the DX-9100. (See the DX-9100 Extended Digital Controller Technical Bulletin (LIT-6364020)and XT-9100 Technical Bulletin (LIT-6364040)for details.)
If the DX-9100 and XT/XP devices are installed and wired, verify all field wiring and sensor voltage/current signals. It is recommended that controlled devices be isolated during download and initial startup.
Note: Do not download an untested configuration into an installed device. Test the configuration on a simulator panel before downloading.
Apply 24 VAC power to the DX-9100 and XT/XP devices.
On the GX Tool, select DX-9100, DOWNLD, and DX. Enter the DX-9100 address (0-255) in the “Controller Address” field and the PC serial communication port (1 or 2) in the “PC Port” field. Press <Enter>.
Checks are made before the data is downloaded to the controller, and a message is displayed on the screen if a value is outside the normal range for that parameter. The user may abort the download process and change the value in the configuration or press <Enter> to ignore the message and download the entered value.
When the download is complete, select DX-9100, DOWNLD, and XT. Verify that the correct “PC Port” is selected and press <Enter>.
For subsequent downloads, where the XT addresses have not been changed, the loading can be done in one process by selecting DX-9100, DOWNLD, and DX&XT.
Download via DX-9100 Controller (RS-232-C Port)
Connect the serial communication port of the PC directly to the RS-232-C port of the DX-9100 Controller. See DX-9100 Extended Digital Controller Technical Bulletin (LIT-6364020)for details. Proceed as for Download via DX-9100 Controller and N2 Bus previously in the Download/Upload section.
