1.1 Connecting the first module
Figure 1-1-1. Connecting the first module
Date: Jan-08, 2002 Version 1.02 page: 3
Getting Started
for I-7000 Series Modules
Connect the first module as in Figure 1-1-1. (If needed, replace the I-7012
module with your own and follow the diagram.) Please do not connect more
than one module at a time.
Install the 7000 Utility software from the included CD. Please refer to
chapter 2 of “The 7000 Utility User’s Manual”.
Run the 7000 Utility software to search for the user’s modules.
It will automatically start searching when users run the 7000 Utility. Please
click the icon
to stop it. Refer to Figure 1-1-2.
Figure 1-1-2. Stop searching.
Click the menu item “COM Port” to select the COM port number you are
connecting to. Select the baud rate “960 0” and click the “OK” button. Refer to
Figure 1-1-3.

After reconfiguring, please click the icon to search again. See
Figure 1-1-4.
Figure 1-1-4. Search the modules.
Every module has the following default factory settings:
•
Address = 0x01
•
Baud rate = 9600
•
Checksum = disabled
See Figure 1-1-5. If the 7000 Utility lists the module-ID “xxxx” in the
information window, congratulations! You have successfully connected the
first module and communicated with it. (Please do not connect more than one
module at a time.)

1.2 Connecting the second module
If you have two modules in the same RS-485 network and each module
has the same address and baud rate; they will conflict with each other.
Due to the factory settings, each module has the same address and
baud rate (address=0x01, baud rate=9600). Thus, users have to change the
configuration settings for each module to prevent further conflict. To change
the configuration on a specified module, double click on the module-ID that is
listed in the information window of the 7000 Utility. Refer to figure 1-1-5 and
2-6-4. To add a second module, change the address of the first module to
0x02 and then click on the “Setting” button. Refer to figure 1-2-1.
Figure 1-2-1. Changing the configuration settings.
The configuration settings of the first module:
Address: 0x02 Baud rate: 9600 Checksum: disabled
The configuration settings of the second module: (default factory settings)
Address: 0x01 Baud rate: 9600 Checksum: disabled
Now, users can connect the second module. See Figure 1-2-2.

Search for the connected module(s) again. Note the two modules at
address 0x01 and 0x02 that will be found. See Figure 1-2-3.
Figure 1-2-3. Found two modules at 0x01 and 0x02.
To connect more modules in the same RS-485 network, change the
address to prevent further conflict between modules. For example: change
the address 0x01 of the second module to address 0x03. Now the
configurations of the two modules are as follows:
Module 1: Address:0x02 Baud rate: 9600 Checksum: disabled
Module 2: Address:0x03 Baud rate: 9600 Checksum: disabled
Then connect the third module as in Figure 1-2-4. The configuration of
third module contains the following pre-sets:
Module 3: Address:0x01 Baud rate: 9600 Checksum: disabled
Users can connect several modules one-by-one with the above steps. The
important thing is that the modules cannot have the same address and baud
rate currently used in the same RS-485 network.

2.1 Introduction to the 7000 Utility
The 7000 Utility is a software utility for the I-7000 series modules. It
works in multiple baud rate environments to meet the specifications of the
“Self-Tuner” in our I-7000 series modules. The 7000 Utility provides all of the
following functions:
Detects all I-7000 series modules connected to the Host PC.
Sets the c onfigurat ion of the I-7000 series modules.
Executes data input and/or output for every connected I-7000 series
module.
Saves all information for each detected I-7000 series module into a
file (with .map extension file name).
Before using the 7000 Utility, please install it first. Please refer to the
following contents to complete the installation procedures.

2.4 Starting the 7000 Utility
To start the 7000 Utility, click on “Start / Programs / 7000Util” from the
task bar as shown in Figure 2-4-1.
Figure 2-4-1. Click on “7000UTIL” to start.
When the 7000UTIL.EXE is loading, a window will pop up to show the
startup picture (Figure 2-4-2). By default, the startup window will stay onscreen for about 3 seconds.
Figure 2-4-2. Startup picture.
Date: Jan-08, 2002 Version 1.02 page: 14
Getting Started
for I-7000 Series Modules
During startup, the 7000 Utility reads the “ICPCON.CFG” file to get the
COM port, baud rate and checksum information. After startup, the main
window of the 7000 Utility comes on and uses this information to
automatically start the searching process.
The 7000 Utility tests for a range of COM ports and baud rates in order
to search for the connected I-7000 series modules. If it fails to read the
“ICPCON.CFG“ file (for example, if it does not exist), the default setting for
the COM port is 2, the baud rate is 9600 and checksum is enabled. This
means that the search process would be limited to COM2 and the baud rate
speed would be 9600.
When quitting the 7000UTIL.EXE, the selected COM port numbers,
baud rates and checksum settings are stored into the “ICPCON.CFG” file.

2.5 Operating the 7000 Utility
2.5.1 Main Window of the 7000 Utility
The main window of the 7000 Utility is shown in Figure 2-5-1. All
operations of the 7000 Utility are based on this main window.

2.5.2 Stopping Search
This section describes how to stop running the program.
When starting the 7000Util.EXE, it will be in the searching process.
Users can stop the search process by clicking the stop icon on the tool bar
(Figure 2-5-2).

2.5.3 Assigning COM Port, baud rate and checksum setting for
Searching
This section describes how to change the search conditions for COM
port, baud rate and checksum status.
Click on the “COM Port” menu item, and a window with the title “Select
the COM port and Baud Rate…” appears as in Fig 2-5-3. This window
prompts the user to assign the COM port, baud rate and checksum status.
After configuration and clicking on the “OK“ button, the 7000 Utility starts the
searching process again. Any module that meets these conditions will be
recognized and shown in the information window.
These settings (include the COM port number, baud rate and
checksum) of the search conditions will automatically be stored into the
“ICPCON.CFG” when exiting the 7000 Utility.
