Vortech/Profilux Module not connceting

**BIGSHOW** · 15.06.2011, 19:34

I have tried to follow all the steps and instructions but I can't get it to work.

I have checked my VT and they have a firmware version of 2.2. They are the MP40w versions. From the manual it says I need a firmware version higher then 3.1. How do I upgrade the VT?

My VT module has a:
- Solid Blue Light
- Solid Green Light
- Flashing Yellow Light
- Red light flashes every 5 seconds.

Profilux firmware is 5.07, I am using the Profilux Control 5.0.9.1

I also don't see the Vortech Overview tab in my software on my PC

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks

If you don't see the Vortech in PLC, you've forgot to assign the Vortech to ProfiLux.

Close PLC connection
Assign the PAB device (Vortech-Controller)
Establish the PLC connection again

I have done that.

I see the VM when I look at the PAB devices on the Profilux unit. However, it still does not show up in the PLC menu

I wasn't clicking the box when I was assigning the device. I see it now.

Ok I have everything connected assigned the VM and have the right firmware on it.

In the Vortech Overview menu I have:
Firmware VT controller - 1.1
Firmware Controller Interface - 4.7
Firmware RF Module - 1.1

I have followed the instructions on Re-setting a pump and addressing a pump. When I push the set button when I am addressing the pump I get a blue/red LED flash vs. the Blue/Yellow.

What should I do now?

Thanks

How about you answer my questions.

I have done step 4.1.1 and re-set the pump
I have tried to assign the pump (4.1.2), however as stated above when I hit the 'set' button, my light flickers yellow/blue once, then goes blue/red.

I have repeated step 4.1.1 and tried again to assign the pump with the same error. I have repeated this process about 5 times.

My questions:

Why is my pump flashing red/blue vs. yellow/blue when I try and assign it?
How many times am I expected to repeat steps 4.1.1 and 4.1.2?

Thank you for your help
