A setting wizard is automatically launched at first power-on to help you set up the FDM128 display.
The setting wizard guides you through three main configuration parts:
1.FDM128 display general settings
2.Communication settings depending on the network architecture
3.Editing device function
Each configuration part is described further in this section.
It is recommended that you update the communication settings each time you modify the communication network.
The following table describes the sequence of steps presented by the setting wizard to configure the FDM128 general settings:
Step |
Screen |
Action |
---|---|---|
1 |
Welcome |
Touch the screen to start the wizard. |
2 |
Language |
Select a language. In the footer, press to access the next step. |
3 |
Refresh Rate |
Press one of the two possible ways to set manually the real-time sample rate in the General View: oFast (default setting): refresh every 3 s for circuit breakers and 5 s for Acti9 Smartlink. oSlow: refresh every 10 s for all devices. Example: o8 MasterPact MTZ circuit breakers connected in Fast refresh mode has a maximum duration equal to (8x3) = 24 seconds. o8 MasterPact MTZ circuit breakers connected in Slow refresh mode has a maximum duration equal to (8x10) = 80 seconds. In the footer, press to access the next step. |
4 |
Phase labels |
Press one of the two possible ways to represent the phases 1,2,3,N (default setting), or A,B,C,N. In the footer, press to access the next step. |
5 |
Units of measurement I/O |
Select the units of measurement for the analog input of the I/O modules: oThe unit of temperature (°C (default setting) or °F) oThe unit of volume (m3 (default setting) or gallon US or gallon UK) In the footer, press to access the next step. |
6 |
Brightness |
Press the -/+ icons to adjust the brightness level of the display. In the footer, press Finish. The setting wizard displays the Selection of the communication architecture screen to allow you to set up the FDM128 communication. Follow the communication settings procedure that corresponds to your network architecture. |
Communication Settings for a Single Gateway-Based Architecture
This procedure is applicable when:
oThe FDM128 display is connected to an IFE interface or an EIFE interface
oThe FDM128 display is connected to an Acti9 Smartlink SI B or Acti9 Smartlink SI D gateway
oThe FDM128 display is connected to an EGX gateway
The FDM128 setting wizard guides you through the following steps:
Communication Settings for Several Gateway-Based Architectures
This procedure is applicable when the FDM128 display is connected to several gateways.
The FDM128 setting wizard guides you through the following steps:
NOTE: Before launching the auto discovery, make sure that the Modbus serial line time out is 1 s.
Communication Settings for Several IFE, EIFE, Acti9 Smartlink SI B, or Acti9 Smartlink SI D Architecture
The procedure is applicable when the FDM128 display is connected to several IFE, EIFE , Acti9 Smartlink SI B, or Acti9 Smartlink SI D devices.
The FDM128 setting wizard guides you through the following steps:
Step |
Action |
---|---|
1 |
Configure the FDM128 display within the network. Set the following parameters: oThe FDM128 IP address oThe subnet mask oThe default gateway IP address |
2 |
Press NO to indicate that there is no gateway. |
3 |
Configure manually up to eight IFE, EIFE, Acti9 Smartlink SI B, or Acti9 Smartlink SI D devices. |
4 |
Press Finish. The FDM128 display can now monitor the list of selected devices. The setting wizard displays the Editing devices screen to allow you to edit the label and name of the devices. |
The device discovery feature enables detection of devices in a given Modbus range (1–247).
NOTE: The default Modbus range is 1–10.
The device discovery sequence detects up to 16 devices on the network as per the given Modbus range. These devices are displayed sorted in ascending order of Modbus address, with the Modbus address indicated in the first column.
The device discovery sequence time varies depending on the Modbus range selected.
NOTE: The 16 detected devices are those with the 16 first Modbus addresses.
Among the detected devices, you can select a maximum of eight devices.
The FDM128 display guides you through the following device discovery procedure:
Step |
Action |
---|---|
1 |
The device discovery sequence is started during the communication settings procedure. A progress bar is displayed during the device discovery sequence. NOTE: During the device discovery, if you want to stop the discovery sequence, press Cancel. It will take you back to the Device Discovery page. |
2 |
In the list of the discovered devices, select the check box for each device you want to include. Devices previously selected in a device discovery loop are displayed in gray. |
3 |
Press Finish. The Editing devices screen appears. |
Manual Configuration of IFE, EIFE, Acti9 Smartlink SI B, and Acti9 Smartlink SI D
You configure devices manually either after a device discovery sequence, or if you do not have a IFE, EIFE, Acti9 Smartlink SI B, or Acti9 Smartlink SI D gateway.
To configure devices manually during the device settings sequence, proceed as follows:
Step |
Action |
---|---|
1 |
On the configuration screen, tick the check boxes of the number of IFE, EIFE, Acti9 Smartlink SI B, or Acti9 Smartlink SI D devices to configure.
|
2 |
For each selected device, set its IP address. |
3 |
Press OK to launch the device discovery sequence.Device Discovery page is displayed with the list of available gateways. NOTE: A maximum of 8 devices can be discovered. |
4 |
Select up to eight devices among the devices displayed. |
5 |
If you select less than eight devices among the devices displayed, you are prompted for an additional gateway. Press NO. |
6 |
If needed, you can configure manually extra IFE, EIFE, Acti9 Smartlink SI B, or Acti9 Smartlink SI D devices. |
7 |
Press Finish. The FDM128 display can now monitor the list of selected devices. The setting wizard displays the Editing devices screen to allow you to edit the label and name of the devices. |
In case of power loss, the FDM128 display retains the settings.
