8.4 Verifying the Gateway Application
After the signals are connected between the energy meter and RTU4,
and the project has been sent to the Xenta 913, you have to verify that
the result is as expected. Adding the signals to values pages is one way
of verifying that the communication functions as expected.
8.4.1 Monitoring the LonWorks Communication
The communication on the networks can be monitored from the Com-
munications values page.
To monitor the LonWorks communication
1 In XBuilder, in the system pane, drag the online signal to the val-
ues page where you want to display it. In the example, drag
ACME_Gateway-Engineering-RTU4_Signals-online to the
ACME_Gateway-Communications values page.
2 In the properties pane, under General, in the Description box for
the shortcut, type “RTU4 node status”.
8.4.2 Verifying the Gateway Application
One way of verifying that the values are transferred correctly to the
receiving device is to display the signals from the receiving device on a
values page. When the values page is displayed in a web browser the
values are read back from the device; they should be the same as the val-
ues on the values page for the Modbus signals.
To verify the gateway application
1 In XBuilder, in the system pane, right-click the folder where you
want to add a values page. In the example, ACME_Gateway.
2 Point to New, point to Page, and then click Values Page.
3 Type the name of the values page. In the example “RTU4_Values”.
4 In the system pane, drag the required signals to the values page
where you want to display them. In the example, drag all the
ACME_Gateway-Engineering-RTU4_Signals signals, except for
the ComsFail and the online signals, to the ACME_Gateway-
RTU4_Values values page.
