CONI Card and IMPACC Equipment Setting Method

(Read setting refers to Westinghouse IMPACC CONI Protocol instructions)

1. CONI Card Setting

CONI(Computer Operated Network Interface) card, which communicates with IMPACC(Integrated Monitoring Protocol and Control Communications) compatible system of Westinghouse Electric Corporation in America, sets as follows.

A) Set CONI card to ISA slot with turning off the power. (Refer to <Figure 1>)

B) Set Com Baud(of 9600, 1200) and IRQ(IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ6, IRQ7 ) of CONI card. (Refer to <Figure 2>)

Correspond communication speed to connected equipment speed and set IRQ which isn't used at computer.

C) Connect no.1 and no.6 line of 6 pin phone jacks to 485 communication cable(Twisted Pair) without polarity division. (Refer to <Figure 3>)

Reference) It needs to controll COM, LPT at BIOS setting for not doing conflict with CONI card because of using at IRQ3 : COM2, IRQ4 : COM1, IRQ7 : LPT1, IRQ5 : LPT2, generally.

Notice) CONI communication card can not be used at Windows NT/2000/XP etc, but Windows 98/ME because it has to read direct addressing.

2. IMPACC equipment communication connection

IQ DP-4000 communication connection

Communication connection of IQ DP-4000 Meter use by connecting IPONI(INCOM Product Operated Network Interface) communication card to Communication Connection of <Figure 5>.

<Figure 4> The front of IQ DP-4000 Meter

<Figure 5> Description for the back of IQ DP-4000 Meter and each terminal

After connecting Communication Connection terminal of IQ DP-4000 with Host Connection of IPONI card(<Figure 6>), set address among 0 ~ 4095 (0 ~ FFFh) by using A2, A1, A0 of Address Selector Switch and connect Twisted Pair 485 communication cable to no.1, 2 of Network Connection terminal.

Also, communication speed can set by using Function Selector Switch of IPONI card, and if OFF condition, it is 9600BPS, if ON condition, it is 1200BPS, and LED flicker when communication is in progress ordinarily.

Addressable Relay Equipment Instructions

<Figure 10> is appearance of Addressable Relay II, and it has 12 terminals such as <Figure 11>.

No.1, 2, 3 of <Figure 11> is Output Relay(A, B point),

No.4, 5 and no.6, 7 terminals are input 1, 2,

No.8, 9 is INCOM terminal and connect Twisted Pair 485 communication cable

No.11, 12 is terminal to input external voltage.
