Configuring a Node’s Operation
E Serial Data
Config
This panel is used to select a serial I/O operation for a device: Off, Digital
UART, RS-232 (not supported), or RS-485 (not supported). Selecting
serial operation disables digital I/O functionality because these
operations share the same pins.
For details, see the following:
’Configuring UART Operation’ on page 3-12
F Serial Data
Out
This panel, which is only used if the node is configured for serial
operation, is used to send serial data to the node.
For details, see the following:
’Configuring UART Operation’ on page 3-12
G Watch This option opens a new window that displays information relating to
the node’s various interfaces, including analog and digital I/O
configuration states and packets received/sent.
Use this window to observe when configured changes have actually
occurred on the device.
For details, see ’Using Watch Function to Display Configuration
Information’ on page 3-16
H Update Updates the selected device with any changes made to its configuration.
Updating a device will reset the “last message” count.
