6.3.2 Comm Settings
Before Composer Elite Multi-Sensor Software can read data from the
Composer Elite System, RS-232 or DeviceNet connection must be established.
This is done on the Comm Settings window found at the top right of the
Composer Elite Multi Sensor Display window.
For RS-232 communications:
1 Set the port to the communication port number used by the computer. This
communication could be direct RS-232 or via a USB to RS-232 adapter. If using
an adapter, make sure the adapter driver is loaded and the device works
properly using Hyper Terminal or similar communications application.
2 The Baud Rate is fixed at 115,200 baud.
3 Set Comm Device to RS-232.
4 Press Comm Disabled to enable communications. Once communication is
established Comm Enabled will be displayed and all Comm setting options will
be displayed in grey. See Figure 6-3.
NOTE: Comm status is shown by button color, which changes from
Comm Enabled (green) to Comm Disabled (red) depending
on comm status.
