This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Walton Deicing Controller DP-9.
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .
--- The first page contains the switches to manual enable Deicing and Rain Blower and the status messages of the system. --- The second page contains the status of all the six heaters.
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.Configuration parameters
At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the Deicing Controller.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The address of the DP-9 or 48 for RS232. |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface connected to the UNITY e.g 9600,7,E,1 regarding the configuration of the DP-9 |
