3 Network Installation
3.1
General Information
As many as eight sensors and eight controllers can be networked together in any configuration
to create a diverse system. One C80 controller, for example, can oversee as many as seven
additional A643a analyzers, or a single A643a may be linked to eight controllers. Regardless of
the instrument combination, an A-Net network must consist of at least one C80 Controller and
one A643a analyzer.
3.2
Software Setup
Each component must have its own unique address to identify it on the Network. Analyzers are
assigned Channel ID Numbers that correspond to the LEDs on the faceplate of their associated
Controller. C80 Controllers are assigned Network addresses.
It is recommended these assignments be made during Operational Verification as described in
“Operational Verification” on page 20 before performing hardware installation of the Network.
This process avoids conflicts and assures all of the components on the Network are uniquely
identified and functioning properly.
3.2.1 ID to S/N Cross Reference
Note:
Default: Channel 1
The ID to Serial Number Cross-Reference associates each Sensor’s Channel ID with its
designated Serial Number. A Channel ID Number (1-8) is used to identify each Sensor for
display and reporting purposes, as well as serving as its Network address. The attached
Controller determines these ID–S/N relationships when it first scans the A-Net. These ID–SN
assignments may be altered, but duplicate Channel IDs are not permitted on the Network.
