As soon as a SiCOMS® Evaluator is powered up, it starts the initial self-check procedure and shows the “System Ready” Status if all pre-set conditions are fulfilled. This self-check procedure is carried out in a certain cycle.
Regardless of the green ready LED status of the SiCOMS® Evaluator, if working SiCOMS® sensors are connected, the SiCOMS® Evaluator samples the signals from the SiCOMS® sensors with a certain sampling rate, converts them into digital signals, analyzes, evaluates and displays them on its LCD.
These data including the detected events are continuously made available through the RS485 interface. A connected Remote Monitoring Unit and/or PC can use the output for remote monitoring and further processing.
It is also possible to set up all SiCOMS® Evaluator parameters from the PC using a terminal application with ANSIW emulation (e.g. Windows Hyper Terminal).
