Configuring connection of BioSmart ACS controllers

Connection of BioSmart ACS controllers of all types is configured the same way.
BioSmart ACS controller is connected to ACFA Intellect as follows:

1. Create the Computer (LOCALHOST)-based BioSmart2 object in the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box (Fig. 3.21). Each controller corresponds to the BioSmart2 object.

Fig. 3.2 1 The BioSmart2 object

1. Go to the settings panel of the BioSmart2 object (Fig. 3.22).

Fig. 3.2 2 Configuring connection

1. Select the controller connection type in the corresponding list (Fig. 3.22, 1).
2. If connection is performed via RS-485 standard, then specify the COM port number and speed of its connection (Fig. 3.22, 2).
3. If connection is performed via Ethernet standard, then specify IP address and controller port (Fig. 3.22, 3).
4. Click the Apply button to save all changes.
5. Create the Biosmart 4 or BioSmart PROX (BioSmart PROX v.2 controller corresponds to this object if connection is performed via RS-485 standard BioSmart PROX-E controller if connection is performed via Ethernet standard, Fig. 3.23) controller object on the base of the BioSmart2 object.
