1.DEVICE SETTINGS: Network\addressing

1.1 Overview

These new advanced settings have been added:

timeout msec

Auto-retry

In typical applications these values must not be changed, as wrong settings may result in bad

communication with the a single device or even with the entire network.

Nevertheless, in special cases, these parameters must be properly set or adjusted to have the network of

devices correctly working.

If the user changed them, without knowing exactly what are they about, it is suggested to restore them to the

default values shown above.

1.2 Timeout

It is the number of milliseconds RICS wait for the device to reply to a polling request, such as the reading of

the probe values. The slowest the device, the higher the value must be.

If the value is Default RICS automatically select a standard value, suitable for that device model. In many

cases this is something about 200 ms. Settings values below 100 ms is highly unrecommended.

Note that in normal circumstances lowest values will not result in a higher communication speed.

1.3 Autoretry

It is the number of times RICS automatically resend a polling request in case of transmission error or timeout

error.

2.DEVICE SETTINGS: Network\driver

2.1 Overview

The plug and play system for the Evco devices has been improved.

RICS can now offer a better basic support for device models for which a specific device driver has not yet

been included or installed in the RICS application itself.

This may happen in these cases:

Newer or special firmware releases of the controller, which are not recognised by the RICS

software version in use. Usually a RICS software upgrade can fix the problem, so the

generic driver is just a useful temporary solution.

A programmable controller, provided with a custom application software, for which a specific

RICS driver has not been developped by the application designer.

When the proper standard driver is not available on the system, RICS can be configured to load an

Alternate driver instead. Depending on the controller type, this is generally enough to check the fieldbus

level is OK (wiring, protocol addressing, communication quality) and to identify the firmware revision of the

controller and the needed driver name.

For some specific families of controllers RICS provides alternate drivers that can also offer basic features,

such as main sensors reading and storing or I/O status monitoring). In that case internal parameters or

specific statuses are generally not available.

2.2 Driver info button

The new driver info button directly recalls the device info page. The label on the button can be coloured in

orange or red in case of not normal configuration (I.e. red if the device driver is missing, the device model is

unknown etc).

2.3 Disable write check box

The Disable write checkbox prevents any writing access to the device from the PC. Note that it is not

possible to change the internal values of a device (i.e. parameters) if this option is checked.

This is not only desirable but also necessary in case a general device driver is used instead of the

standard one, to avoid a non perfectly compatible driver could lead to unwanted changes of internal

programming of the controller.

2.4 Alternate driver checkbox

This check box (automatically checked when RICS first loads an alternate driver) tells the software the

driver loaded must be considered NOT the standard one. This way the message 'Alternate driver' will be

permanently shown in the device status, reminding the user that the standard driver still have to be installed

on the system.

If the check box is not checked and the driver file is not empty it means that a custom device driver or an

alternate driver has been forced to be used for the device, regardless if this is appropriate or not.
