The first few sections of this user guide provide background information on how the gateway works, and an overview of the configuration process. The next several sections are guides for each of the tabs found on the screen of the configuration software. The final sections are reference material.
You should at least read the overview sections to gain an understanding of how the gateway functions. You can use the remaining sections as reference material to look up as needed. There is a help icon in the top menu bar of every page in the configuration tool software. Click the help icon (blue button with question mark) at any time to open the section of the user guide that pertains to that page.
Proper system design is required for reliable and safe operation of distributed control systems incorporating any Control Solutions product. It is extremely important for the user and system designer to consider the effects of loss of power, loss of communications, and failure of components in the design of any monitoring or control application. This is especially important where the potential for property damage, personal injury, or loss of life may exist. By using ANY Control Solutions, Inc., product, the user has agreed to assume all risk and responsibility for proper system design as well as any consequence for improper system design.
