DDE ServerDDE Server provides the communication interface between PC and Controller. It is started automatically from the program in the moment of reading/writing of the configuration from/to the controller. Use ALT-TAB (Windows task switching) to view DDE server window.

• Click on LAST ERRORS to see report of the last error message. • Click on STOP to pause the communication (not to close the connection).

CAUTION! DDE server is started and stopped automatically. Do not close it manually!


DDE Server statusStatus of the DDE Server (Running / Preparing / Error) for each controller address is visible in the DDE server window.

STATUS COLOR MEANING

Running green The connection is running, no problems occurred.

Programming blue The DDE server is programming firmware or configuration into the controller. Progress in percent is shown in the status text field.

Preparing yellowThe DDE server is building-up the connection to the controller. This state may last from seconds up to several minutes depending on connetion type and number of connected controllers.

Error redThe connection failed. Use ALT-TAB, select DDE Server and press the "Last errors" button at the controller with appropriate address to see more information.

DDE Server error messages

Timeout (continuous)

Connected controller does not answer to DDE server requests. Probable reasons:

• The controller is not connected or switched off• The communication cable is wrong• The COM port number is not correctly selected• Setpoints in the controller related to the communication are not

correctly adjusted

• The communication module in the controller is damaged

Timeout (time to time) Occasional timeouts can be caused by overloading of your operating system.

TAPI: requested modem (#) not found The selected modem is not attached or properly installed.

TAPI: unavailable modem Communication port is being used by other communication device.

TAPI: Line unexpectedly closed Modem is configured in Windows, but it is not connected or it is failed.

TAPI: Can't create connection

It is not possible to open connection. Probable reasons:

• When "beeping" is audible during start of the connection, the line quality is bad or the other modem is not compatible with the originating one.

• When busy tone is audible during start of connection, the destination number is busy or wrong.

• When no tone is audible, phone line is not connected.

Pop-up window with a message Can't open COM

The selected COM port is occupied by other program or is not installed. Check if there is other program using the COM port running or select proper COM port.
