This refers to every node connected to an Eton station and line server, the information will be different depending on the system.
Id ✎
The node id contains both the ICU and the local node Id.
The local id is what the hardware sees and is unique in the scope of a single ICU, this can in theory range from 1-9999, but it's currently limited to approx 1000. This means that the same local id can exist on two different ICUs.
Node 1 on ICU 1: Full Id = 10001
Node 1 on ICU 2: Full Id = 20001
ICU Id ✎
The id of the ICU that this node is physically connected to.
Line Id ✎
The id of the line that this node is physically attached to. If the node is a station, the line that the station loads to determines what line the node belongs to.
Serial Number ✎
The node serial number. Only relevant on motor nodes, as this must be set correctly in order for the node to go online with the correct id.
Version ✎
The firmware version of the node. A firmware version starting with "B" indicates that the node is in update mode and ready to recieve a new firmware version.
Node Type ✎
The node type determines the function of a node. See Topic: Node Types.
Emergency Stop Location ✎
To name an emergency stop, if connected to a node.
Emergency Stop Activated ✎
Set when an emergency stop button connected to this node is pushed.
Has Product Detector ✎
Set to true if this node has a product detector sensor attached to it. Only allowed on node types 28, 228 and 106.
Chain Motor Type ✎
The type of chain motor used by the station
- DC Motor - Motor is connected and powered directly by the node card.
- I/O Inverter - Motor is powered externally, and start/stopped by node IO.
- CAN Inverter - Motor is connected to node sub CAN network. This is the same type of motor used for lines and feeding buffers.
Standalone ✎
Stand alone nodes are usually transporter types that do not have a station number, such as a up-down elevator in the middle of a bridge or similar types.
This option can be also be enabled via Pre Setup Mode (Station Id) by entering 0 as station id.
When this is enabled the terminal commands should work as normal, as well as the node parameters being directly editable on the node editor (hardware page in the UI).
