Installation Procedure

The COALSCAN CITECT project is provided with a compressed version of the generic project for a COALSCAN 9500. CITECT version 5.4 or later should be installed on the computer that will connect to the COALSCAN. Connection between the COALSCAN 9500 and the computer (referred to as the I/O computer) is typically accomplished using a RS422 or RS 485 hardware link. The protocol for communication is accomplished with a specific COALSCAN driver that interfaces with the generic CITECT program structure. This driver is managed by Real Time Instruments and all support for this should be directed to Real Time Instruments. As this driver does not usually come standard with a generic CITECT package it will require installing. The driver is supplied along with the COALSCAN configuration on the COALSCAN configuration disk.

Below is an instruction set for installing and configuring the COALSCAN configuration files:

Install a CITECT version 5.4 (or greater) onto the COALSCAN I/O computer. On the CITECT explorer page click the “restore” button. In the top section of the dialog box there is a heading “restore from backup file”,

please select the brows button in this section and choose the relevant CD drive. Choose the project called “Coalscan_9500.ctz” from the CD drive.

Select “New Project” and then in the name field allow for the default name of Coalscan_9500 (unless another name is required for specific reasons).

In the location field leave the default directory as C:\Citect\User\Coalscan_9500 (unless another location is required for specific reasons).

Click the “OK” button (the program will now install on the I/O computer and a new project directory called Coalscan_9500 will appear under the project list.

Using Windows Explorer rename C:\CITECT\BIN\PROTDIR.DBF to C:\CITECT\BIN\PROTDIR_old.DBF.

Check if C:\CITECT\BIN\CSCAN.DBF or C:\CITECT\BIN\CSCAN.DLL are present and if they are please rename them C:\CITECT\BIN\CSCAN_old.DBF and C:\CITECT\BIN\CSCAN_old.DLL respectively.

Using Windows Explorer copy and CSCAN.DLL and CSCAN.DBF from the CD to the C:\CITECT\BIN directory.

If you are familiar with the computer setup procedure in the CITECT explorer page please run this and for the startup page select MainMenu_1. If you are unfamiliar with the computer setup procedure please follow the procedure below:
