tenEcmServer Installation

The first step is to verify the proper installation of the ECM(s).  Download and run the Brultech Configuration Program that is available from their website.  Set the parameters appropriately, and make sure that realtime data is enabled and that you can see it.  You can download the Brultech Interface program at:  http://www.brultech.com/ecmsupportupdate.html.  If you are using an EtherBee/EtherPort to communicate to the ECM via TCP/IP, you need to run the EtherBee configuration program found at the same web site before running the ECM configuration program.

Then download and run the tenEcmServer installation program found below:

 tenEcmServer Version 7.7  2/3/2011

Bug fix.  If an ECM counter value is less than the last received, it is assumed that the counter has wrapped around from the maximum value to zero.  In some cases, field values were being created in the UDP broadcast record that exceeded the field length, resulting in errors in the client programs  (invalid packet, dropped).

Bug fix:  When the ECM accumulators reach their max values (1,099,511,627,775 for Ch1/Ch2 and 4,294,976,295 for Auxn) they wrap back around through zero.  tenEcmServer was not handling the rollover properly.

 tenEcmServer Version 6.2  6/21/2009

tenEcmServer now supports two ECMs simultaneously.  You can connect one ECM via RS-232 and one via TCP/IP using an EtherBee; two via TCP/IP and Etherbee; or two via RS-232 using the XBee to USB (to RS-232) dongle.  A single packet is broadcast for each ECM record.  The broadcast record has been modified to contain an ECM number. 

 tenEcmServer Version 6.1  5/31/2009

Added EtherBee support.  You can now receive data from the ECM via either RS-232 through a serial port, or via TCP/IP from an EtherBee module sold by Brultech.  The EtherBee receives the data wirelessly from the ECM using the ZigBee protocol, and sends the data to tenEcmServer via TCP.

 tenEcmServer Version 5.6  5/24/2009

Capability to toggle the polarity for Ch1 and Ch2 Polar counters has been added
