Help with my LOR

[clever1525]

Yes the licence is set up. I am downloading the software again, this will be the second time.

[clever1525]

Same result. Don't know why it's not working.

Is the red LED on the controller blinking or solid when you have the sequence editor open?  If not, you may have to setup the LOR network on the sequence editor.  I didn't think this was necessary but it may be something to check.  I forget the menu but it's labeled network preferences I think.  This is usually setup in the hardware utility when you just have one network.

It's a green light and it's blinking when the sequence editor is on.

The light on the controller must be on solid when it "hears" the signal from the sequence editor, if the light is flashing it isn't getting the signal. In the editor, in the bottom right hand corner, are you getting the solid blue box, if it's red, then it isn't seeing the controller. If the dongle is not an LOR brand, that may be your problem.

[Jeffl]

Green ?  What model controller is it?

[clever1525]

It's a CTP16PCg3 model. When the sequence is running the green light is still flashing, and the box in the bottom right corner is blue.

[clever1525]

And yes it's an LOR dongle. Rs485b

If the light on the controller is flashing, then the controller is not being recognized. Try another cat5 cable.

[clever1525]

I was mistaken. The light was blinking while I was looking at the forum. When the editor was launched the light became solid.

[Jeffl]

That says that the controller is receiving a heartbeat for the software.  Your problem must be the channel configuration in the sequence editor.

[Jeffl]

Channel should look like the image for the first channel.  The rest are like below.  This is given your controller has an ID of 01.  If you have this and the "Control Light" enabled on the play menu you should be able to hit the green arrow and see the lights flash given you turned the channel or some sort of on event, i.e fade, twinkle, on etc.....

Unit 01  Circuit 1
Unit 01  Circuit 2
Unit 01  Circuit 3

When we started in the beging of the forum we were talking about changing the ID on the controller. So, when I set the channels in the sequence editor I changed them all to controller 08, which is what I changed the ID to in utility.

After your last comment Jeffl, I went back and changed the ID back to 01 and changed the sequence channels back to 01.   I'm up and rolling!

Thank you everyone for your help and patience!

And the rest is a thing of beauty.    Glad we could help.  Enjoy the fun.
