Using the IR Tool or RS 485 converter to communicate with the controller
Environment
NCP Palm
IR Tool
RS232 to RS485 converter.
Cause
Configuration and use of NCP Palm.
Resolution
Using the IR Tool to communicate with a Unifact Pro controller.
- Connect the IR Tool to your laptop and Unifact Pro controller.
- Start the NCP Palm programme.
- Select the correct serial communications port and uncheck the CTS / RTS selection boxes, then select OK.
- From the "File" menu select "Connect"
-
Enter 0 for the Subnet address, 0 for the Node address, then select OK.
- This has now confirmed that you are connected to the IR Tool.
- To connect to the controller select the "File" menu and select "DisConnect"
- Select the "File" menu and then select "Connect".
-
Enter 1 for the Subnet address, 1 for the Node address, then select OK.
You are now connected to the controller.
Using an RS 232/485 converter is similar to connecting to the controller, but the controller communications terminals are used instead of the IR Tool.
