Create a new device

Select Tool -> [Tools] → [I/O DeviceDevices] or click on the icon from the main toolbar. How to create an I/O Device is shown below.:

I/O Device NameTo designate an I/O Device Name: Designate a device name. This will be used in the Station Name and Tag Configuration of the Databasedatabase.

Select a network type

Device Type: RF Temperature Measurement Sensor

If I/O Device Name designation is completed, the [Serial ‘Serial Communication Configuration] Configuration’ window appears as shown below.

Select RF ‘RF Temperature Measurement Sensor' as the 'Device TypeType’, and set up the Comm. parameters exactly as the PLC configuration. Comm. parameters must be set up as shown below. See the Communication Configuration section for more information about the remaining parameters.

Create a station

Go to the [Station] tab of the [Serial ‘Serial Communication Configuration] Configuration’ window. Station No. can be 1 to 15In this dialog box, each connected PLC can be configured and registered to the Xpanel.

Station Name

To designate a Station NameDesignate a station name. This will be used in the tag database, accompanied by the Device Name‘Device Name’.

Station Type

Select Station ‘Station Type Temp RFRF’ (no other option is allowed).

Network ID

N/A

Station No.

The station No. must be the same as the PLC station number (1 - 15).

16Bit Data Swap

This option swaps bytes for all word- or double-word-sized data. The following diagram shows an example of byte-swapping:

Almost all data types will be influenced by this option except INT8 / UINT8 / BCD8 / UBCD8.

32Bit Data Swap

This option swaps words of all double-word-sized data. The following diagram shows an example of word swapping:

Tag values with data types INT32 / UINT32 / BCD32 / UBDC32 / FLOAT will be influenced by this option.

String Data Swap

Swaps the upper and lower bytes of string word data.

Using Checksum

Use a CheckSum in the communication protocol.

Comm. Error Message Pop Up

Use a pop-up message when a communication error occurs.
