Find Device button
This can be used to find X Series
recorders on the network. It uses
the recorder's unique Network ID to
identify them and populate this list.
Select your device from the list and
press the Use Selection button to
insert the recorder details into the
Add Device box.
When you get back to the Add De-
vice Detail Box, press "OK".
The recorder you have set up will
now be added to the device list.
TrendServer Pro software will generate a modbus profile when data is imported from USB
key or Compact Flash card or when it is manually imported via FTP. This applies to FTP of
setup and FTP of pen data.
The automatic, or scheduled, FTP import of data from a recorder does not result in an up-
dated modbus profile being generated. Once a modbus profile has been generated it is im-
mediately available to the Comms Server but will not be automatically used by the Comms
Server.
Any new connections created in the Comms Server will use the most recent modbus profile
that has been generated when importing data on that PC.
For existing device connections, go to the relevant device and press right mouse button for
the context menu. Select Edit Device and then press OK on the resulting dialog. The updat-
ed modbus profile will now be in use and this should be evident if you graph the data a cou-
ple of minutes later (give enough time for some data to be logged to the database using the
updated modbus profile).
So in summary, when updating an X-Series recorder configuration, import the setup or pen
data that use the new setup into TrendServer Pro software. Do this either via USB/Com-
pact Flash or a manual FTP operation, then go to Comms Server and bring up the "Edit De-
vice" dialog (as described above) and press OK.
For more detailed information on the Modbus Profile tool refer to the
software manual.
Setting up the Comms Server for Modbus on RS-485 follows the same procedure, but the
PCs comm port that the 485 interface is connected to is selected in the "Communications
Port" drop down list. Everything else is the same (there is no IP address to enter) and test
should still work the same.
