Training: LincView OPC Released: 2012/02/04
Presentation Topics • Introduction 3 • Requirements 10 • Setup Overview / Installation 12 • RS232 Configuration 14 • UDP Configuration 17 • TCP/IP Configuration 20 • Example Screens 23 • OPC with Rockwell’s RSView32 25 • Errata – Password 30
Features • LincView operates in parallel with normal network operation • Graphical view of entire wireless network • Programmable warning/alarms with logging • Visibility of both ends of each RF path • OPC Server • Supports multiple radio networks
LincView / Radio Performance • LincView data is secondary to user data so LincView performance will degrade on heavily loaded systems • Diagnostic information is exchanged along with user data so user data throughput could be affected
Why LincView? • Primarily radio network analysis • Radio network startup • In-service network health • Network benchmarking • Network reconfiguration or tuning • Secondarily OPC Server for OPC clients • Radio network event detection and alarming • Correlate radio network and process events • Historical / trend data archiving • Predictive and preventative maintenance
RS232 Example Requires 6X00 Serial Kit (930-11771-000) or /DIAG option
Ethernet UDP Example No diagnostic kit required
Ethernet TCP/IP Example Requires 6X10 Ethernet Kit (930-11772-000) or /DIAG option
Minimum Requirements • Radios • Newer version SRM6210E or SRM6310E • Newer version SRM6000 or SRM6100 • SRM7210E • All SRM6220 or SRM6320 • DIAG port option on master radio for RS232 or TCP/IP diagnostic communications • Point-To-Multipoint networks
Non-Master Radio Requirements • Diagnostic port option not needed • Full Capability: • All SRM7210E radios • New series SRM6xxx radios • Partial Capability: • Old series radios SRM radios require at least 5.63 or 1.58 firmware. • With old Series radio repeaters the radios RF connected to a repeater are not visible in LincView.
Setup Overview / Installation • Configure the radio network. • Install the LincView OPC program. • Configure LincView OPC and observe status, “Communicating with master…”
LincView OPC Program Installation • Run the LincView setup program and answer typical setup questions. • Start by double clicking the LincView icon on the desktop. • Choose an existing network fileor type the name of a file. • LincView is running. • NOTE: Windows 7, setcompatibility
RS232 Configuration Requires 6X00 Serial Kit (930-11771-000) or /DIAG option
Radio: RS232 Setup • Applicable to SRM6x00, SRM6x10E and SRM7210E • Install diagnostic port on master radio • Enter master radio configuration: • At main menu choose option 5 (Multipoint Parameters), then change option B (Diagnostics) to 1 - 63 (15 Suggested) (NOTE: With SRM7210E radios use 4 or greater) • At main menu choose option 3 (radio transmission characteristics) and ensure option B (MCU Speed) is set to 1 • Optionally but not recommended, a password may be set in the radio Set “Password” (Main Menu option 8) to your Password (I.e. 1234). • Other Radios: No Menu changes Needed • Connect Diagnostic computer to diagnostic port with a C232/SRM60/PC cable
LincView: RS232 Configuration • Click the ‘Serial Port’ radio button and choose a COM port If properly configured this will change to “Talking to master…”
Ethernet UDP Configuration No diagnostic kit required
Radio: Ethernet UDP Setup • For all Radios in the network: • Remove side panel opposite the antenna • Set the “Cmpr Switch” (compression) to ON • Master radio configuration: • At main menu choose option 5 (Multipoint Parameters) then option B (Diagnostics) and set to 129 • At main menu choose option 0 (Set Operation Mode) then option F (Ethernet Options) • Choose option 4 (IP Address) and set to an unused IP Address on your network segment (i.e. 192.168.1.214) • If option 5 is present (UDP Port), set to 4131 • At main menu choose option 3 (radio transmission characteristics) and ensure option B (MCU Speed) is set to 1 • Optionally but not recommended, a password may be set in the radio Set “Password” (Main Menu option 8) to your Password (I.e. 1234).
LincView: Ethernet UDP Setup • Choose the UDP radio button • Set IP Address to master radio IP address • Set Port Number to master radio port number (4131) • Enter the master radio password if set in the radio If properly configured this will change to “Talking to master…”
Ethernet TCP/IP Configuration Requires 6X10 Ethernet Kit (930-11772-000) or /DIAG option
Radio: Ethernet TCP/IP Setup • Master radio configuration: • At main menu choose option 5 (Multipoint Parameters), then option B (Diagnostics) and set to 1 - 63 (15 Suggested) (NOTE: With SRM7210E radios use 4 or greater) • At main menu choose option 3 (radio transmission characteristics) and ensure option B (MCU Speed) is set to 1 • Optionally but not recommended, a password may be set in the radio Set “Password” (Main Menu option 8) to your Password (I.e. 1234). • All other radios: No changes required • Terminal Server (we use Lantronix UDS100) • Configure Terminal Server per manufacturer’s instructions and • 115,000 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit • Set IP address and port number • Connect Terminal Server to radio’s diagnostic port with /C232/SRM60/PC cable • Connect Terminal Server to Ethernet
LincView: Ethernet TCP/IP Setup • Choose TCP/IP radio button • Set IP Address to Terminal Server’s IP address • Set Port Number to Terminal Server’s port number If properly configured this will change to “Talking to master…”
LincView Master Radio Example Master radio Test antenna removed
LincView Remote Radio Example Values for this radio at opposite end of the RF link Values at this radio’s end of the RF link
LincView OPC Server Name • To configure LincView Server Name choose OPC from the menu bar then enter the name. • Restart LincView whenever the name is changed
RSView32 Internal Setup (Cont.) • Using the node editor create a node and attach to the LincView OPC server name.
RSView32 Internal Setup (Cont.) • Using the RSView32 tag database, create a new tag and associate it to a LincView radio value.
Errata - Password • Do not set a password in the master radio. • If you are confident the master radio and LincView OPC settings are correct yet the status bar does not say, “Talking to master on…” then a password may be needed in LincView even though no password is set in the radio. • Enter any two character password. If still not talking there is a configuration mistake. Enter password here If properly configured this will change to “Talking to master…”
