The 3500/01 Framework Configuration Software is mainly used for configuring the 3500 monitoring framework to ensure that all modules in the framework can work together. The following is an introduction to its relevant instructions: – **Connection method**: – **Direct – connection**: When the computer is near the framework, it can be directly connected to the 3500 framework through an RS232 cable. Connect the cable to the “Host” port, and set the switch below the interface to the “RS232” position. If the framework interface I/O module does not have a built – in modem, an RS422 communication can also be used. At this time, an RS232 to RS422 conversion connector is required, and the cable引出 from the connector is connected to the “Host” interface on the rear of the framework interface I/O module, and the switch is set to the RS422 position. – **Remote communication**: The 3500 monitoring system framework has a framework interface I/O module with a built – in modem. Connect the telephone line to the modem on the framework interface I/O module, connect the telephone line to the internal or external modem port of the computer at the computer end, and confirm that the RS232/422 switch is set to the RS232 position. – **Network connection**: If the configuration computer can be connected to the data acquisition DDE service station, the network connection method can be used to configure all 3500 frameworks connected to this service station in a daisy – chain. – **Software operation steps**: – **Configuration framework**: After the framework is assembled, the hardware switches and jumpers are set, and the sensors are connected, the configuration can be carried out. The specific steps are: connect the computer to the framework; perform communication initialization; upload the default configuration from the framework; modify the default configuration; download the configuration to the framework; interrupt the communication; disconnect the computer from the framework. – **Establish framework configuration**: If you want to prepare a series of configuration files on the desk and then input them into the framework on – site, you can follow these steps: confirm the modules in slots 1 to 15; set the framework interface module options; set the key – phase options; set the monitor options; set the channel options of the monitor module; set the communication module options; set the alarm setting point options of the monitor module; set the alarm drive logic options of the relay channel; save the configuration file. – **Modify framework configuration**: The steps are: connect the computer to the framework; perform communication initialization; upload the framework configuration; modify the configuration; download the configuration to the framework; interrupt the communication; disconnect the computer from the framework. – **Communication initialization and interruption**: – **Initialization**: After completing the connection between the computer and the framework and starting the framework configuration software, select “Connect” in the “File” menu, select the corresponding connection method, input the appropriate parameters (such as connection password, framework address, communication port, baud rate, etc.) into the connection dialog box, and click “Connect” to complete the communication initialization. – **Interruption**: Before disconnecting the cable between the configuration computer and the framework, click the “Disconnect” command in the “File” menu to interrupt the communication, which will return any module still in the configuration mode to the operation mode, release the configuration icon, and hang up the modem in the case of remote communication. – **Upload and download configuration**: The upload and download commands are in the “File” menu. The specific operations are: complete the connection between the configuration computer and the framework, establish communication, click the “Upload” command in the “File” menu to upload the configuration from the framework to the computer, and click the “Disconnect” command in the “File” menu to interrupt the communication and disconnect the connection after the upload is completed. Downloading is to change the configuration with a computer and download it to the framework, but it should be noted that the configuration key – switch on the front – panel of the framework needs to be turned from the “Run” state to the “Program” state before downloading, and turned back to the “Run” state after the download is completed.
