Panel Name

fwWienerManageGroups.pnl

Introduction

This panel is used to create, delete and configure devices that are used to represent the Wiener Channel Groups that can be configured in Marathon power supplies.

The devices are not essential for the communication with the hardware, but by creating and configuring the OPC addressing, you gain the ability to switch these channel groups ON or OFF.

Instructions

The panel is divided into three parts - Creating, Configuring addressing and Deleting.

To create a new channel group, first choose the group number you want. If you want the hardware connection to nbe configured automatically, you should make sure that the "Default Addressing" check box is checked. When this is done, you press "Create" to create the actual group in PVSS.

If you need to (re-)configure the addressing of the channel groups, you can use the middle section of the panel. From here you can choose the group to operate on by selecting its number. Then you can choose to either "Set Defaults" or "No Hardware Connection". Pressing "Configure" will then apply these settings to the device. Alternatively, you can press the "Modify..." button and configure the addressing by hand.

To delete a channel group, use the bottom section of the panel. Choose the group number that corresponds to the channel group you want to delete, then press "Delete".

Restrictions

The channel groups managed by this panel are only usable with the Marathon Power Supply mentioned at the top of the panel.
