Need a little help…
I’m trying to get a T3-TB-11i to read points from a couple of Tstat10’s. They are all on the same [main] MSTP network (1). The TB is panel 1, addr 11. Tstat10 #1 is panel 2, addr 112. Tstat10 #2 is panel 3, addr 113. Even though I’m trying to read IN9, the Network page indicates IN8. Doesn’t really matter, no value is presented.
Chelsea will check into this for you, thanks.
Can you show me your program code?
According to what you described, you should use instance of Tstat10.
Supposed the instance of Tstat10 is 12345, we can write program code like below.
10 VAR1 = 12345AI9
Chelsea, we should be able to just go
VAR1 = 2IN1
This is supposed to work over Ethernet and also over RS485. If it doesn’t we need to get us there. This is the basic most basic feature of Temco products.
Chelsea,
My program code is as follows:
10 VAR16 = 205675IN9
Although the use of instance ID’s is not mentioned in any of the programming literature it doesn’t matter. Using the instance ID did not work either.
Thank you,
Jim
Chelsea,
I’m trying to share information between RTU Test and Tstat10 112 with the T3. All communication is via rs485 (bacnet).
This is what my network looks like…
Thank you,
Jim Johnson
If you use instance, you should change it to AI.
10 VAR16 = 205675AI9
Chelsea,
I already have it that way
Jim
Chelsea,
I apologize. I’ll try that shortly
Jim
Chelsea,
This is what I have, still does not work.
VAR15REF is the name I have given Variable 15
Thank you,
Jim
Can you check network points table?
Not sure I am understanding correctly here but one thing to watch out for is to steer away from labels which might look like a keyword. The T3000 environment may be misinterpreting this label at Tab1 as a bacnet analog input object on device instance 20567. Call the variable something like TESTVAR or other character based label at Tab2.
Chelsea,
As per your request…
The controller I’m using to read the remote points is below
The one’s I’m trying to read from are below
Thank you,
Jim
Chelsea,
What time were you thinking of getting on line with my desktop (EST). At this point I will make myself available whenever.
I don’t know if this would affect the operation but the two Tstat10’s that I’m using have two different panel and bacnet addresses but the mac address is the same.
Please let me know.
Thank you,
Jim Johnson
Definitely having duplicate MAC ids is going to cause trouble. T3000 should be giving you a warning dialog and suggesting a new MAC id actually. Please do change them and send on a few sceen shots if you could. The communications health down at the bottom left of the T3000 screen is helpful.
T3000 is supposed to give you an error message and suggest a new MAC id when a conflict is detected. We do have this already for the main ethernet network but evidently not on the MSTP RS485 subnet. Chelsea will make sure that T3000 is smartened up to do this.
It’s a little strange… The Mac address for the two Tstst10’s are identical when you hover over them on the system tree but are different when you look at the configuration. Regardless, I don’t think it is an issue since I removed one of the Tstat10’s from the network and the data transfer still does not work. Getting frustrated at this point because it’s holding up progress on the job
Thanks
Jim
I will set up a test tomorrow to repeat your situation, LB and TSTAT10 both using the same firmware as your setup and will report back ASAP.
