PI Interface for Bailey Infi90 71Appendix Cb bTroubleshooting The 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 Configuration When you install the CIU/ICI module, you need to cut the dipshunt in a specific manner in the termination unit of the CIU.
In addition, set the dipswitch of U and U on the CIU module. The dipswitch setting determines the many options on running the CIU. Refer to the hardware manual of the CIU for information about 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 BaInfi90 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.
