SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
OVERVIEW
The EC500 Controller supports a number of functions which are dependent upon availability of specific
hardware in the system. Some critical parameters are also controlled under this section. EC500 configuration
should be set accordingly before commissioning. Most of these configuration settings are not available on
display or Web pages, as these are related to system hardware and should not be changed at run time.
To generate a suitable configuration use the Configuration Tool
“Configurator”
. This tool generates a
configuration file which can be downloaded to the controller.
For specific requirements, this configuration file can be preloaded in the factory for quick installation &
commissioning.
The next sections describe the important System Configuration parameters.
SYSTEM INFO
The following settings relate to system hardware. These are required for correct operation of the display
screen, web pages, communication and functionalities.
Since system hardware does not change in the field, these settings are not normally editable from Web, SNMP
or Display.
Change of these settings may require a restart of controller.
