Case 2: Joining a Network
In this scenario a network exists. The user wants a new device, the ‘joiner’, to join the network.
Any device on the existing network can become the ‘adder’.
1. Press the
RESET/NET.ID button on the ‘joiner’ for less than 3 seconds.
2. Press the RESET/NET.ID button on any network device for less than 3 seconds, making it the
‘adder’. You have 1 minute, by default, to press this RESET/NET.ID button.
3. Wait for connection to complete and the PLC LED will be ON .
The PWR LED on both devices will flash at 1-second intervals until the process succeeds or fails.
It will illuminate steadily on success. If an error occurs, the PWR LED on the ‘adder’ will flash
unevenly until the RESET/NET.ID button on the ‘adder’ is pressed again or the ‘joiner’ is reset by
pressing the RESET/NET.ID button for 5-8 seconds, as described in Case 3:
The join operation can be cancelled by pressing the RESET/NET.ID button on the first device
again, for less than 3 seconds, instead of pressing the RESET/NET.ID button on the second
device.
If you press RESET/NET.ID button on three or more devices, only the first two will respond. The
others will not. See Case 4 for a variation on this rule.
You can press the RESET/NET.ID button on the ‘adder’ before pressing the RESET/NET.ID
button on the ‘joiner’. It does not matter which is pressed first. See Case 4 for a case where the
‘adder’ may be pressed before the ‘joiner’. Once a ‘joiner’ becomes a member of the network, it
may become the ‘adder’ in the next join operation.
