viii CMS Quick Start Manual MACMS-QS/E

Handling Precautions for Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
Certain devices used in electronic equipment are electrostatic-sensitive. Because these
devices can be damaged by electrostatic discharges from built-up static electricity, special
precautions must be taken to minimize or eliminate the possibility of these electrostatic
discharges occurring.
Read the following recommendations carefully before handling electronic
circuits, printed circuit boards or modules containing electronic
components.
• Before handling electronic circuits, discharge the static electricity on your body by
touching and momentarily holding a grounded metal object (e.g. a pipe or cabinet).
• Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing synthetic clothing
material, as these tend to generate and store static electric charges. Cotton or cotton
blend materials are preferred because they do not store static electric charges.
• Do not handle electronic circuits unless it is absolutely necessary. Only hold modules by
their front panel handles.
• Do not touch printed circuit boards, their connectors or their components with conductive
devices or with your hands.
• Put the electronic circuit, printed circuit board or module containing electronic
components into an antistatic protective bag immediately after removing it from the
system rack.

PREREQUISITES AND DATABASE CREATION
1 PREREQUISITES AND DATABASE CREATION
1.1 Introduction
This book is designed to help you get your CMS Software system up and running in a
minimum amount of time. By following the basic tasks described in this book, you can have
a fully functional CMS Software system—displaying “live” data from the VM600 rack in a
graphical format—in less than 45 minutes.
The tasks described are:
1- Prerequisites and tests
2- Creating a new relational database in which to store data
3- Creating a rack configuration and configuring speed and vibration points
4- Running the VMCom communications handler to establish communications between the
database and the VM600 rack.
5- Creating a simple graphical document in the Mimic application in which to display the
results
6- Viewing the results in the Mimic document.
For all other information, refer to the other CMS Software documents listed in the Preface.
1.2 Prerequisites
This book assumes that:
1- The Adaptive Server Anywhere Database Software is installed.
2- The CMS Software itself is installed.
These tasks are described in detail in the VM600 Condition Monitoring System (CMS)
Software Manual - Volume 1.
3- A VM600 rack is available and equipped with at least one CMC 16/IOC 16T card pair, a
CPUM card, and an IOCN card, set up for network communications over an Ethernet
(TCP/IP) network and connected to your network.
1.3 Testing the Network Connection

To test the network connection to the VM600 rack:
1- From the Windows Start menu, open a Command Prompt window.
2- Type ping ipaddress, where ipaddress is the TCP/IP address of the VM600 rack. For
example:
C:\> ping 10.10.56.56
If your rack is preconfigured to use a different address, “ping” that address instead.
Write down the IP address, as you will need to enter it later when creating a rack
configuration.
If the rack does not respond correctly, refer to the VM600 Condition Monitoring System
(CMS) Hardware Manual (MACMS-HW/E) and VM600 Networking Manual
(MAVM600-NET/E) for troubleshooting information, or contact your network administrator.
PDF versions of all CMS manuals are available in the install_dir\VM600_CMS\Help folder,
where install_dir is the home installation folder you selected when installing the VM600
software.

CREATING A DATABASE
7- Click OK. The system creates a new database, displaying progress messages on a
scrolling console window. When all processing is complete, the console window should
resemble the following:
Figure 1-2 : Status Messages Creating a New Database
8- Click OK.

CREATING A DATABASE

CONFIGURING COMMUNICATIONS
2 CONFIGURING COMMUNICATIONS
2.1 Configuring VMCom

The VMCom communications handler is responsible for setting up and controlling the flow of
data between the VM600 rack and the database.
In a “live” system, you should set up the VMCom communications handler to run as an
automatically started Windows service. For the purposes of this manual, however, you will
start the VMCom communications handler manually.
When started, the VMCom communications handler establishes communications between
the VM600 rack and the database you created in 1.4 - Creating a Database. The rack begins
sending data, which is stored directly in the database.
The Mimic document you will create in Chapter 4 - Setting Up Mimic to Display Data then
displays this data in real time.
To run the VMCom communications handler:
1- Open the VM600 Administrator program. Expand the Applications icon, then
double-click the VM600 Communication Thread program. The Command Line
Parameters window is displayed:
Figure 2-1 : Command Line Parameters for VMCom
2- Type “QUICKSTART” in the DSN field.

CONFIGURING VMCOM
3- Click OK. The VMCom console is displayed:
Figure 2-2 : The VMCom Console Window
4- The “VMCom has started successfully” message indicates that the VMCom
communications handler has established communications between the rack and the
database, and data collection has started.
If a “WARNING:CMC-Comm Comm rack ID 1, cannot connect to rack IP ?” message
or similar appears, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the VM600 Condition
Monitoring System (CMS) Software Manual for help on resolving the problem.
5- Mimimise the console window.
Notice that a small icon appears in the Windows system tray to indicate that the VMCom
communications handler is running.

CREATING A RACK CONFIGURATION
3 CREATING A RACK CONFIGURATION

Once a working database exists, the next step is to configure the database to communicate
with the VM600 rack and configure the measurement points needed to correctly capture
information arriving from the VM600 rack. These tasks are performed using the Configuration
Editor program.
3.1 Starting the Configuration Editor

To start the Configuration Editor:
1- Switch back to the VM600 Administrator program.
2- Expand the Applications icon.
3- Double-click the Configuration Editor icon. The Configuration Editor window is
