Module remote control and supervision

4.6. Module remote control and supervision

The DDF2008C01 requires remote control for configuration.

In order to perform remote configuration and supervision of the module  an optional
TL2000 family remote communications controller must be installed in the mounting
frame.

The main function of the communications control module is to interface  between a
10/100 Ethernet port and the internal bus of the mounting frame. The following
illustration shows the most common control situations: from a computer or control
panel via Ethernet.

Certain communications control modules provide additional, more advanced functions
such as an SNMP agent, logging of status changes of the modules and a Web interface
for remote control, etc.

Software for simple configuration and supervision with a GUI for multiple modules can
be downloaded from the Albalá Ingenieros website.
