Overview

The Belanger Vector and FreeStyler car wash models offer limited capability to report faults to WashMax.
Older WashMax site controller models may connect directly to a Belanger controller via an RS-232 cable. This is out of favor due to limitations however. The favored hardware configuration involves connecting a serial device server, such as a Moxa nPort, to the Belanger controller and to the site's Ethernet network or a Site Server's Auxiliary Connection #2.

Hardware connections

Mount the Moxa nPort near the Belanger controller and connect it to the site's Ethernet network. Use a standard serial cable to connect to Moxa to port ??? on the Belanger controller. Depending on the Belanger controller model, a null-modem adapter may be needed:

Model	Null-Modem Adapter with nPort DE-311	Null-Modem Adapter with nPort 5110
E-300	yes	no
E-410	yes	no
E-1063	no	yes

Serial Device Server configuration

When using a device server, it must be configured as:

Old scheme: 192.168.1.54 (Use 192.168.1.64 for a second bay.)
sserv Auxiliary Connection #2: 192.168.112.21
If this IP does not work for the site's network, any other address may be used but Intelio site controller must be configured with the alternative address.

Run as a TCP Server listening on port 4001
The inactivity timeout must be disabled .
Serial side set to 9600 baud, 8 bit data, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

Edge Settings

The edge should find the Moxa if it's at one of the normal IP addresses for a Belanger Moxa. (As specified above.) If something else is used, you must edit /home/intelio/conf/site.properties and set belanger.ip.host to the IP address. The edge app must be restarted for it to take effect.
