Bailey Infi90 Interface to the PI System 65
Appendix B TroubleshootingThe interface normally starts as Windows service. It writes informational and error messages to the PIPC.LOG file. So, it is important to look at this file to troubleshoot the interface.
Hardware ConfigurationWhen the user installs the CIU/ICI module, he needs to cut the dipshunt in a specific manner in the termination unit of the CIU. Also, he needs to set the dipswitch of U and U on the CIU module. The dipswitch setting determines the many options on running the CIU. Please refer to the hardware manual of the CIU on how to set the dipswitch and the dipshunt.
The Bailey Engineering WorkStation (EWS) hardware manual provides a recommended dipshunt/dipswitch configuration for the CIU module. OSIsoft suggests that the Infi90 Interface use this same configuration.
The serial cable connecting the interface computer and the CIU/ICI is wired straight through on pins 1- 8 and 20. The best way to
test the termination hardware, CIU/ICI module setup, and cable configuration of the CIU is to try using the EWS to substitute for the interface computer. If all hardware settings appear correct and connection
problems still exist, try switching pins 2 and 3 in the cable by using a null modem connector.
