128 UDC 6300 Process Controller Product Manual 1/03
4.14 Communications Set Up Group
Introduction
This option allows the controller to be connected to a host computer by
way of various communications options.
The controller looks for messages from the computer at regular intervals.
If these messages are not received within the configured shed time, the
controller will SHED from the communications link and return to stand
alone operation.
The device address, parity, baud rate, Computer Setpoint, Units, Ratio,
and Bias are configurable depending on the protocol you are using.
You can also set the SHED output mode and setpoint recall, and
communication units.
Up to 99 addresses can be configured over this link.
485TDC option
Up to four RS485 link addresses are allowed when the communication
option is selected as 485TDCSDI. One PV Point and one OP point are
required to be configured per loop when the UDC6300 TDC integration
schematics are to be used for Operator Interface from the TDC Universal
Station. Remote Cascade Option and overall mode of Operation can also
be configured.
