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
