4 UNIT STATUS
In addition to unit status information provided by the five tricolor LEDs in the LED Panel, unit status information is also
displayed in the Diagnostics pane of the User Configuration window (page 26 for Modem mode or page 35 for Loader
Mode) of the Guardian Field Programming Software, and is explained in Chapter 5.
4.1 UNIT IDENTIFICATION AND STATUS
Each Guardian has addressing capability which is used for diagnostics and remote commands only.
The Long ID and Short ID with which each Guardian is configured are displayed directly under the Firmware version
number in the main window of the Guardian Field Programming Software.
Figure 11 Unit Status Information
If this area displays blank (for example when software is first started or initial connection has not been established),
click Version, immediately to the left and the FPS reads this information from the Guardian and it is displayed.
4.1.1 LONG ID NUMBER
This value is assigned at the factory but may be modified using the Field Programming Software. The ID Number is used
to uniquely identify the Guardian for remote commands and Offline Diagnostics. The ID Number may have values
within the range of 1 to 4294967295 but multiples of 1024 should not be used.
4.1.2 SHORT ID
This value (maximum 1023) is the low order 10 bits of the ID Number. It is used to identify online diagnostics only. It
may not be modified directly using the Field Programming Software; it is always derived from the ID Number. All units
within a network should have unique Short ID numbers to avoid ambiguity in Online Diagnostics reports.
The Guardian Field Programming Software may be used to check the value of the Short ID. When setting up a network,
we recommend checking each unit to make sure there is no duplication of Short ID numbers. Duplications may be
resolved by changing the Long ID Number.
If ID Numbers are set within the range of 1 to 1023, the ID Number and the Short ID will always have the same value.
4.2 DIAGNOSTICS
Guardian units continually monitor and report on their environmental and operating conditions.
