SECTION8After you've set up networks and ECUs, you can organize the ECUs into stationsand groups for convenient management of pouring operations and reporting. Astation is the smallest component of the system used for performing softwaretasks such as changing price levels or running reports. By default, a station is setup in the software for each ECU or partition you set up. Therefore, you don'tneed to set up any more stations unless you want to combine ECUs or partitionsinto one station for convenience. Setting up groups provides further flexibilitybecause you can combine stations and other groups into one group. An ECU orpartition can only be in one station, but in multiple groups. As you set up yoursystem, you can view a list of stations and groups using the View StationMapping feature.

SECTION9Diagnostic features are included in Infinity software to test communicationbetween the ECUs and the computer. Use these features to verify communicationat the time of installation and any time you may need to troubleshootcommunication with a particular ECU. This section provides help with thefollowing tasks:Communication Wizard ..................................................................9-2Loopback Test .................................................................................9-6Communication Test ....................................................................... 9-8Memory Test .................................................................................9-10Clear and Restore Memory ...........................................................9-12ECU Diagnostics
9-2 Infinity Installation/Service and User ManualCommunication WizardThis Wizard helps you troubleshoot communication problems between your computer and anyECUs in a hard-wired network. Since it takes you through the process step by step, the Wizard isespecially helpful if you're not sure you're running a loopback or communication test properly. Touse the Wizard you must have a loopback tester, your network communication must be at 9600baud and the ECUs must be free of security codes. The Wizard can't help you test communicationon a modem-connected network.nTo use the Communication Wizard:1. Run Manager.2. Pull down the Diagnostics menu. Click CommunicationWizard....The first screen lists the prerequisites for running theWizard.2. Click Next to proceed to the next screen or click Cancel toexit the Wizard.3. Select the Port number at the computer where your Infinitynetwork is connected and click Next.
ECU Diagnostics 9-34. Enter the ECU Number of the first ECU you want to testand click Next.5. Check all connections (including power) and click Next. Thecommunication test proceeds. Wait while the test runs.6. If communication with the ECU succeeded, you'll see thismessage. Click Finish to close the Wizard. To checkcommunication with a different ECU, start the Wizard again.(continued on next page)
9-4 Infinity Installation/Service and User Manual7. If communication with the ECU failed, the Wizard will helpyou determine why. Click Next.8. The first thing to test is the communication port at thecomputer. Disconnect the Infinity network and any loopbacktester from the computer and click Next. The software thenchecks the computer's comm ports. The next message yousee is determined by your particular setup.9. The software determines which comm ports are available foryou to make an Infinity network connection. Click Next.You may see this errormessage which means the.port could not be opened,usually for one of the followingreasons. The port is beingused by another program ordevice (such as a modem or amouse). Note that someprograms will not release theport until they are exited. If aprogram crashed while usingthe port, the port may stillthink it is being used. Whenrunning a program in a DOSwindow, the DOS window willhold on to the port (evenafter the program completes)until the DOS window isclosed.
ECU Diagnostics 9-510. Reconnect the loopback tester directly into the port youthink is the port number you selected. Click Next.11. In this example, the Wizard runs the test and suggests tryinga different port number (or the possibility that the port orloopback tester is defective). When you click Next, theWizard puts you back to the first step of the test--entering aPort number.12. Proceed with the prompts the Wizard displays for yourparticular setup. You'll be disconnecting and re-connectingthe loopback tester at various points in the communicationline between the ECU and computer.
9-6 Infinity Installation/Service and User ManualLoopback TestThe loopback test verifies you have a working, accessible COM port on your computer. You musthave a loopback tester (Berg PN 8009196) to connect to the port to perform this test.nTo perform a loopback test:1. Run Manager.2. Pull down the Diagnostics menu. Click Loopback Test....3. Select the number of the Port.4. Select the Baud Rate.5. Type the Phone number of the remote modem if you aretesting a modem connection.6. Type the initialization string for the computer modem in theInit String field. The default (AT &D2 &C1 S0=0|) setsData Terminal Relay and Carrier Detect to normal and turnsoff Auto Answer.7. Select Tone or Pulse for the type of dialing used on thecomputer modem's telephone line.
ECU Diagnostics 9-78. Click Run to begin the test (without the loopback tester inplace).The loopback test commences. You should see exactly 100%failure.9. If you don't see 100% failure, click Stop to end the test. (Theport you've chosen is already in use by a device that isechoing the loopback signal. That port is not available forInfinity.) Select a new Port number and click Run.10. When you see 100% failure, plug the loopback tester into thecomputer port. (You don't need to stop the test.)If the failure rate decreases to near 0%, you know the port isOK.11. Click Stop to end the test.12. Click Close to exit the Loopback Test screen.NoteqSee Local Network Communication Problems in theTroubleshooting section for a series of loopback tests youcan perform to test each component of the computer-to-network connection.
9-8 Infinity Installation/Service and User ManualCommunication TestThe communication test verifies the communication on a network line to an ECU. The networkmust be set up in the software and the ECU number must be set at the ECU before you performthis test. It's a good idea to perform this test on every ECU in a network after you've set up thenetwork and before you set up the ECU in the software.nTo perform a communication test:1. Run Manager, Report or Schedule.2. Pull down the Diagnostics menu and click CommunicationTest....3. Select the name of the Network.4. Select the number of the ECU.5. Click Run to begin the test.You can type in the number ofan ECU that hasn't beendefined in the software, as longas the ECU is connected to thecomputer.
ECU Diagnostics 9-9The communication test commences. You'll most likely seenear 0% failure or exactly 100% failure. If you see failures,check the ECU number and baud rate set at the ECU.Perform a loopback test to make sure the COM port isworking. You can also tighten cable connections while thecommunication test is running and observe any changes inthe failure rate.6. Click Stop to end the communication test.7.
