Study Notes
Communication and Hardware in Smart Park Systems
-
Smart Park devices communicate through a closed network, either serial or network.
-
In the x30 system, the controller communicates with devices using 485 to serial, and with the smart mark using 230 to serial.
-
The smart mark does not communicate directly with devices, but rather through the controller.
-
In the x60 system, all communication is done through a network.
-
Communication settings in Smart Park can be edited under the garage settings in the enterprise version.
-
The communication type determines how Smart Park communicates with the garage and lock controller.
-
In the past, communication was done through serial ports, but with the introduction of network systems, devices like Thibaults and Moxas were used.
-
Thibaults are slower, half-duplex, and can only work within the same network segment.
-
Moxas are faster, full-duplex, can work with both 485 and 232, and can traverse networks easily.
-
Virtual comports were used to connect to Thibaults and Moxas, but now direct network connection is recommended.
-
Moxas and Thibaults can be accessed through their IP addresses using a web browser.
-
For X30 systems, Smart Park initiates communication with the controller, while in X60 systems, the controller can initiate communication with Smart Park.Key Points for Setting Up Smart Communication
-
CD tour and MC sixty are used for communication in the server side
-
Changing the port number or flashing the emceeing zeros can cause communication issues
-
UDP is a broadcast type of communications connection
-
TCP is recommended over UDP for better network stability
-
C220 or MC SCT 20 can be used as a client reaching out to the moxa in front of CP 20
-
MC 60 is a TCP server for a designated garage port
-
Offline controllers need to be fixed before addressing the devices
-
The header in Park State provides information on direct communication, date and time, disease, pointer records, and LMK
-
Matching firmware versions are important for controllers and smart part version
-
Lights on the front of MC 60 and SCT 20 indicate the status of the 45 side, 232 side, and network connection
-
MC 60 functions similarly to CT 20 as a dedicated controller
