PakBus Networking Guide
18
PakBusPort is not an actual device, rather, it tells the LoggerNet
server to use PakBus communication protocols with any device
below it.
• Configure the CR10XPB in the device map the same as the datalogger’s
PakBus Address.
• When you Connect to CR10XPB the connection works because CR10XPB
is in LoggerNet’s device map which constitutes a “static route” to
CR10XPB.
• You can send a program written in Edlog for the CR10X-TD (a program
for a PakBus datalogger is programmed the same as for a Table Data
datalogger).
• You should avoid sending a program with PakBus Settings that would
change the PakBus address of the datalogger. You would find that by
sending such a program it would appear that the program send had failed
and you could no longer connect with that datalogger in LoggerNet.
Should this happen, you could connect once again after changing
LoggerNet Setup’s device PakBus Address to the new address, but
intentionally doing this as a means of changing the PakBus address is not
recommended.
3.1.3 Minimum + RF400 Network
You can add RF400 Series communications to the ‘minimum network’ like this:
PC
(LoggerNet)
RF400 Series
CR10XPB
RF400 Series
or
CR200 Series
• The LoggerNet Setup device map stays the same.
• CR10XPB settings remain the same.
• RF400 Series radios in the network need to be set up:
Same Radio Address
Same Net Address
Same Hopping Sequence
Same Standby Mode (normally “< 24 mA always on”); other Standby
Modes are possible, for example, the default “< 4 mA ½ sec cycle” or
“< 2 mA 1 second cycle” work in some situations if power budget is
an issue. Each RF400 and CR200 Series radio in the network should
have the same Standby Mode (Radio Power Mode) setup.
