    CIU Emulation CHAPTER 1 CIU EMULATION CIU 888 has 2 fixed serial host ports and upto 4 field cards can be converted as host ports resulting in a maximum of 6 host ports. Maximum of 4 of these 6 host ports can be configured for emulation of the CIU protocol (compatible with the CIU 858) to provide backward compatibility with earlier generations in Honeywell’s series of CIUs (i.e.

  • Page 11 CIU 888. When configuring a new site, CIU Emulation is usually configured on either HostPort 2 or HostPort 4. However, if a CIU 880 database is migrated to the CIU 888, the configuration will depend on the CIU 880 Plus host ports that were configured in the first place.

    CIU Emulation Cache mode for a host port can be configured via the CIU 888 WEB- interface (see FIGURE 1-6). NOTE: In case of 880 Migrations, Cache mode is configured in CIU web interface. For the new sites, it will be configured by Service Tool.

  • Page 13: Addressing

    CIU 888 interprets the message and tries to determine which field port the gauge is connected to. In order to find out this, the CIU 888 takes the first digit of the three-digit gauge address (e.g. 402BB) in the request and compares it with the last digit of the RTU address (e.g.

  • Page 19: Chapter 2 Virtual Tunnel

    The CIU 888 allows service tools (TCP/IP clients), i.e. Engauge, to communicate with gauges via the CIU 888 using the GPU protocol on TCP/IP or FlexConn protocol on TCP/IP. The CIU 888 acts as a virtual tunnel for transmitting the GPU/FlexConn messages between the service tool connected to the Service port of the CIU 888 and the gauges connected to the CIU 888.

  • Page 20: Downlink Ciu

    The main difference is, that with addressing for virtual tunnel only the address of the gauge is needed, whereas with addressing for CIU Emulation both the address of the CIU 888 and the address of the gauge are needed. With addressing for virtual tunnel, the CIU address is not needed, because an IP address is used to address the CIU 888.
  • Page 21 Perform the following steps to set up a virtual tunnel: 1. Connect the PC/laptop with Engauge installed to the Service port of the CIU 888 using the Ethernet cable. The Service port is located at the front of the CIU 888 (see FIGURE 2-2).

    Appendix A - GPU Communication Protocol APPENDIX A GPU COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL A.1 Introduction The CIU 888 uses a communication protocol based on a request/reply schedule. The protocol consists of command records and answer records. A record consists of a data field packed in an envelope. The envelope allows the receiver to detect the incoming record and to verify its proper reception.
