RF Temperature Measurement Sensor (Serial)

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

Open

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

Device Type: RF Temperature Measurement Sensor

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

Open

Select ‘RF Temperature Measurement Sensor' as the 'Device Type’, 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.

Parameter

Configuration

Baud Rate

Set to 115,200 (can vary depending on device setting).

Parity

None

Data Bit

8 Bits

Stop Bit

1 Bit

Comm. Type

RS232

Go to the [Station] tab of the ‘Serial Communication Configuration’ window. In this dialog box, each connected PLC can be configured and registered to the Xpanel.

Station Name

Designate a station name. This will be used in the tag database, accompanied by the ‘Device Name’.

Station Type

Select ‘Station Type Temp RF’ (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.
