Persistent Test Mode
Use the Advantys Configuration Software to configure the STB island for Persistent
Test Mode. When the download of this configuration is complete, Persistent Test
Mode is activated. Thereafter, the STB island operates in Test Mode each time
power is cycled to the island. When Persistent Test Mode is activated, the STB
island’s process image output data is controlled exclusively by either the HMI or the
configuration software. The fieldbus master no longer controls these outputs.
Persistent Test Mode is deactivated by:
z downloading a new island configuration to the NIM (or inserting a SIM card with
a new island configuration into the NIM and cycling power to the NIM)
z performing Autoconfiguration.
Password Test Mode
Use the Advantys Configuration Software to enter a password to the STB island’s
configuration settings. The password you input must have an integer value from 1 to
65535 (FFFF hex).
After the changed configuration ( including the password) has been downloaded,
you can activate Password Test Mode only by using an HMI to issue a single
Modbus Register write command to send the password value to Modbus Register
45120.
After Password Test Mode is activated, the STB island’s process image output data
is controlled by either the HMI or the configuration software. In this case, the fieldbus
master no longer controls these outputs.
Password Test Mode, once activated, is deactivated by:
z cycling power to the NIM
z selecting Reset in the Online menu
z performing Autoconfiguration
z downloading a new island configuration to the NIM (or inserting a SIM card with
a new island configuration into the NIM and cycling power to the NIM)
z using an HMI to issue a single Modbus register write command to send the
password value to Modbus Register 45121 (STB NIC 2212 and STB NIP 2311
NIMs only)
NOTE: Password Test Mode must be activated only by using the NIM’s
configuration port. All attempts to enter Password Test Mode using the fieldbus (via
NIM models STB NMP 2212 or STB NIP 2212) are unsuccessful.
