This option will merge all of the discovery files for each trunk thereby giving you a
completed database for the Trane VAV devices on all trunks.
After the merge is complete, the Gateway will have created a file called
DATABASE.DAT. When the Gateway is rebooted, the new Database file will be
initialized and communications to the field devices will commence.
The Save Discovery option automatically assigns Modbus device numbers (slave
addresses) to the Trane VAV devices it found. First, devices on trunk #1 are assigned,
in order of Modbus slave devices 1 through 60 (note that there are a maximum of 60
Trane VAV’s for one trunk – this is because many installations violated the “rules”
about only having 32 Trane VAV’s on one trunk. We accommodate systems that have
more). Similarly, the Trane VAV devices found on Trunk #2 are assigned (in the order
that they are discovered) to Modbus slave devices 61 through 120. And of course,
Modbus slave addresses 121 to 180 are for the Trane devices found on Trunk #3, and
finally Modbus slave addresses 181 to 240 are assigned to devices on Trunk #4 (in
order of discovery).
