Beckhoff chassis at EX, serial hookup

Jim and Dave.

We noticed that the TCS rack layout was slightly differerent between EX and EY. The EY layout was more optimal, so we made EX the same as EY. This involved moving the PEM BNC patch below all the timing systems, and moving the End Link chassis down 1U. So from the top of the rack we have: timing fanout, comparator, space, serial concentrator, space, End Link Chassis, space, PEM patch.

Daniel provided the serial cables to hook up the fanout. The large 37pin cable was ran from the End Link to the serial concentrator. A 9pin serial was ran from the RS422 output on the back of the fanout to port 5 (lower left) on the concentrator (Daniel says this is the first RS422 port, lower numbered ports are RS232).

I dont see the timing diagnostics data on my MEDM, perhaps something on ex beckhoff needs to be restarted?
