About us
Overview
The Configuration Editor Interface is part of the programming mode. It is used to configure the serial ports and the time of day clock of the module.
NOTE: Configuration of the serial ports can also be accomplished through the I/O map. The I/O map overrides any serial port configuration entered in the configuration editor.
NOTE: Configuration of the time of day clock can also be accomplished with the SET TOD command.
To enter the configuration editor typeCONFIG at the CLI> prompt. The configuration editor displays the prompt CONFIG> .
Port Command
The Port Command displays or sets the port parameter settings. Acceptable command format variations include:
PORT [n[: [b] [,p] [,d] [,s] [,k] [,x]]]
PORT [n[: [BAUD=b] [,PARITY=p] [,DATA=d] [,STOP=s] [,KEYBOARD=k] [,XON/XOFF=x]]
Description and range of the elements used in the PORT command:
Index
Description
Range
n
Port number
0, 1, 2
b

k
Keyboard mode
(Character echo mode)
on, off
x
XON/XOFF mode
(Software flow control)
on, off
Examples:
PORT 0:1200,n,8,1,on,on
PORT 0:baud=1200, parity=n, data=8, stop=1, keyboard=on, XON/XOFF=on
PORT 0
Current port parameters are: PORT 0: BAUD=1200, PARITY=NONE ...
Enter new parameters: 4800,n,8,1,off,on
After the Port settings in the module have been changed, the following message will appear:
Note: The port settings are temporary during this programming session.
NOTE: Ports 0 and 1 do not support all baud rate and data bit options. Refer to the Module Configuration screen for available options.
Date Command
Displays or sets the current date in the module. Acceptable command format variations include:
DATE [mm dd [ yy]]
DATE [mm/dd [/ yy]]
DATE [mm.dd [.yy]]
DATE [mm dd [ YYYY]]
DATE [mm/dd [/YYYY]]
DATE [mm.dd [.YYYY]]
Description and range of the elements used in the DATE command:
Index
Description
Range
mm
Month
1 ... 12
dd
Day
1 ... 31
yy
Year
00 ... 99
yyyy
Year
1990 ... 2089
Examples:
DATE 3 30 95
DATE 3/3 0/1995
DATE
Current date is Wed 3 29 1995
Enter new date: 3.30
NOTE: If the year does not need to be changed, then only the month and day need to be entered. The day of week is automatically figured out by the firmware. The yy years are mapped 00..89 = 2000..2089 and 90..99 = 1990..1999.
Time Command
Displays or sets the current time in the module. Acceptable command format variations include:
TIME [hh:mm[:ss][x]]

ss
Second
1 ... 59
x
Meridian
a, p
Examples:
TIME 3:26p
TIME 3.26.30p
TIME 15.26
TIME
Current time is 3:15:26p
Enter new time: 3.26.30p
NOTE: The time can be entered in either 12 or 24 hour time format. Not entering the meridian assumes AM unless the hour is 0 or 13 to 23.
