PAC Configuration Manual 2.1 Installation Considerations Mounting: • The TPAC has mounting holes beneath the cover of the enclosure. The mounting holes are spaced 93 x 180 mm. The mounting holes are 7.5 mm in diameter and the access holes are 11 mm in diameter. The TPAC can be mounted to a panel using appropriate screws for the panel material. • The TPAC should be mounted with the antenna vertical on the top of the enclosure. The conduit entry/cable seal should point down.
PAC Configuration Manual 3 TPAC Configuration The TPAC needs to be configured to function properly. The TPAC is shipped with factory default settings. The configuration can be modified via the communication network or locally using a programming cable from a PC to the TPAC. A site information sheet should be prepared prior to configuring the TPAC. 3.1 Interfacing to a TPAC A Wireless Matrix TPAC programming cable is required to configure the TPAC using a local PC.
PAC Configuration Manual The following figures give step by step instructions to set up HyperTerminal. Some users may prefer to use a different terminal program. Figure 6: Starting HyperTerminal Enter a name for the connection.

PAC Configuration Manual 3.2 TPAC User Interface This section assumes the programmer has the basic understanding of the TPAC functionality and the end devices connected to the TPAC. The TPAC is configured using the PAC command line interface. The PAC command line interface has a tree structure and uses minimum truncation so only letters necessary to make the command unique need to be entered. The manual shows the necessary characters in capital letters. The PAC command line interface is not case sensitive.
PAC Configuration Manual Figure 10: Display the version 3.2.2 Setting PAC Values The “SHow” command displays all the PAC settings. The settings are displayed as a tree of main settings with sub settings. To set a specific value, the complete path to the setting must be given. For example, to set the RTU’s baudrate, issue the command… RTU COMM BAUD 3.2.3 Loading Drivers The default RTU driver in the PAC is Modbus.
PAC Configuration Manual Figure 11: Load new RTU drivers Type VER to list all drivers. Type RTU TYPE to list the RTU drivers. Type NET TYPE to list the network drivers. The PAC must be Halted before changing a driver. See the following figures for examples. Figure 12: RTU Types W ireless Matrix Corporation Document # xxx-xxx-xxx 2002.02.01 #102, 1530 - 27 Avenue NE Calgary, AB, Canada T2E 7S6 Ph. 403.250.3949 Fax 403.250.8163 Page 18 of 62 www.wrx-ca.
PAC Configuration Manual Figure 13: Network Types Ensure that the proper drivers are loaded before continuing with the configuration. 3.2.4 Displaying and Setting the System Time Time is tracked in GMT in the PAC. The PAC can display or set time in the local time, if an offset from GMT is defined. Define the time zone offset before setting the time. Time values are set as follows: TIme or DAte – Display the current local time or date.
PAC Configuration Manual Figure 14: Setting the system time 3.2.5 PAC Application Commands The default values in the PAC configuration are usually acceptable. The following list of commands is used to configure the PAC global settings. Note: The parameters inside the brackets < > must be entered. The symbol “|” is “or” so on | off indicates “on” or “off” is entered. PAC RPTBack – Report-back causes the PAC to send an acknowledgement back to the GDN that a message was received successfully.
PAC Configuration Manual PAC ARChive – This setting is for Wireless Matrix configuration only. The default is ON and it should be left ON. PAC POW <0…> – Pause on wake-up. This setting delays the PAC from polling for a set amount of time in seconds. This is used to provide transmitters time to stabilize when using the PAC on-board I/O. This setting is also used when the communication device needs a delay to "key up" after receiving DTR.
PAC Configuration Manual The index is a unique number that identifies the I/O point within the PAC. If a new I/O point is added with the same index as an existing I/O point, the new point will overwrite the existing point. Valid index numbers are 1-127 and 256-1200 (128-255 are reserved for PAC internal I/O points). The following commands are used to create and modify the I/O list. The I/O list is set up differently for each RTU Driver. See the RTU driver section for the appropriate setup.
PAC Configuration Manual Figure 15: Alarm Hysterisis “O” denotes a limit transition The following command is used to enter an alarm. GDN ALarm – This command enters alarm thresholds for the specified I/O point. Enter * in place of a value if the alarm or hysterisis not specified.
PAC Configuration Manual Npoints > 1 – Dead-band from average value. An alarm report is sent when a new I/O value differs from the average of the previous values by more then the dead-band. Disable a dead-band alarm by setting the alarm dead-band value to zero. 3.5 Scheduling Scheduling is one of the most important features of the PAC. Two important scheduling concepts are start time and interval time. Start Time - This is the date and time the PAC will start the event.
PAC Configuration Manual Interval HH:MM:SS – Default start date = 01/01/80 HH:MM – Default start date = 01/01/80; Default second = 00. Time between events. Long format: DD HH:MM:SS Where DD = days (00-99) Brief format. HH:MM:SS – Default days = 00 HH:MM – Default days = 00, Default seconds = 00. EVENT DELETE – This command disables an event. EVENT LIST – This command displays all active events. Note: Short forms can be used to modify existing events.
PAC Configuration Manual 4 TPAC Network Drivers and Settings The TPAC network driver is type “RIM”. Display the network settings by typing “SHOW NET”. This section contains detailed information to configure the network driver. NET TYpe RIM – Type "NET TYPE" to list all the available drivers in the PAC. Only the “RIM” network driver is relevant to the TPAC. DEbug – Turn on this level of debug to view network-level application messages. The messages can help with troubleshooting.
