I am scrathing my head at the moment! I am trying to make sense of enrolling a M1XEP on my system.
Firstly system appears bullet proof have enrolled input, output and serial expanders on the system no problems what so ever. I realise the ethernet adaptor doesn't communicate via the RS-485 port and it appears you have to manually enroll the ethernet adaptor on the system.
This is where the head scratching comes in. I carry out the enrolling procedure per page 5 on the XEP installation manual and I can not see where through out this process you enroll the XEP. Using the keypad I access Menu 1 Bus Module Enrollment from the Installation Programming menu and do a roll call and it reports all the RS-485 devices but no where can I enrol the XEP. Have I missed something really obviuos?
It clearly states in bold print on page 5 that enrolling the XEP is necessary to ensure that the XEP will function properly. At this stage the system can not see the XEP and until I sucessfully enroll the XEP there is no point moving n to the conf and setup mode.
I have also tried to enroll the XEP via RP software still doesn't see the XEP. By the way the serial port on the XEP is connected the RS-232 on the MIG at 115200 baud.
I have also tried a serial expander module via it's RS-232 to the XEP both via a 2>3 3>2 RS-232 crossover cable per advise from the distributor here but no joy. This advise is somewhat flawed as from the documation I have the maximum baud rate on the XSP is 38400 baud and the XEP serial port only appears to communicate at 115200 baud.
There also is no reference to the crossover RS232 comms cable and using a XEP to talk to the XEP ethernet adaptor.
Documentation appears a bit thin hence the the scratching head.
Hope someone can put me on the straight and narrow!!
Thanks
