Liquid Controls LCR iQ Single Register Configuration

Summary:

This article explains how to configure a single Liquid Controls LCR iQ register to communicate with Mobile Delivery devices, a procedure typically done by a truck shop because it requires putting the meter in configuration mode and possibly opening the register. Key steps: ensure COM1 wiring on the I/O board (Terminal J14: violet to Terminal 91, red to Terminal 92), set COM0 to Printer (RS232, 9600 baud) and COM1 to LCP (RS232, 19200 baud, timeout 500, retries 1), know and set the correct LCP node address (factory default 250; example uses Node 2), and activate both Printer and LCP services in the Services screen.

Question:

• How do I configure a Liquid Controls LCR iQ meter with Mobile Delivery

• This article will help you configure a single LCR iQ register to communicate with the Mobile Delivery devices.

• This is most often completed by a truck shop as it requires putting the meter in configuration mode and possibly opening the register.

Environment:

• Cargas Energy
• Single Liquid Controls LCR iQ Register

Answer:

• The register must have wired correctly internally.
  COM Port 1 is on Terminal Block  J14 on the I/O Board.
  
  
  the Violet wire must be on Terminal 91 and the Red wire must be on Terminal 92
  
  
  
• In the I/O Setup Menu - COM0 must be setup for:
  Printer with an RS232 connection type and Baud Rate of 9600
  
  
  
• In the I/O Setup Menu COM1 Must be setup for:
  LCP with an RS232 connection type - Baud Rate of 19200 - Timeout of 500 - Retries of 1
  
  
  
• The default LCP Node Address setting from the factory is Node 250 and you will need to know the specific Node number that your LCR-II is calibrated to so that it can be selected during truck setup.
  (Here in this example you can see we have this meter setup for Node 2)
  
  
  
• Printer and LCP Services need to be turned on.
  To make sure these are turned on press the Services button when you are on the I/O Setup Screen.
  
  
  Make sure that Printer and LCP are both Activated by being set to Yes in the Services screen
