Configure ENODE in FacilitySight
Note: If you are preconfiguring the installation in an office or preparing for FAT, make sure the ENODE has the same modules in the same order that will be installed at the customer facility.
1. Install Purple USB Key to computer
2. Connect ENODE to network
3. Program IP Address
4. Launch FacilitySight
5. Open Instrument Configuration and program flow meter and solenoid valve for each microbial
location
6. The names used will be displayed on the screen in FacilitySight so use the ones specified by the
customer in the design documentation.
7.
Below are examples of the Analog Input and Relay Output screens for six Microbial Locations:
Configure iFIX Picture
https://www.doczj.com/doc/3d4345359.html,unch iFIX and make sure the workspace opens. If the application opens in run mode select
the workspace. If you are launching iFIX for the first time, select the “Don’t show this box” in
the lower left hand corner, then select the open PMS SCADA. Also, since we copied files into
the setup you might need to cancel errors about tags that iFIX can not find.
2.In the workspace rename the picture for this project by using the save as functionality Create new locations or remove existing locations for current project
Note: Use the picture above as a key for making the following changes.
3.Select entire group, or all the objects for a location. Copy and paste new locations until you
have the number of microbial locations needed for the installation.
