all
hardware installation work is done while the system is off! The power supply

is limited to the connection of the power supply and
the connection to the control computer. The
G CAR 6282
Multibus Controller starts automatically when the power
supply is switched on.
Please use the included LAN cable to connect the stand-alone box

The
G CAR 6282
Multibus Controller can be operated under Windows 7, 8 and 10 as well as under Linux.

on the supplied product CD and follow the instructions.
2.2.2 G-API
The
G-API
(Göpel electronic Application Programming Interface) is a software interface. It supports various hard-
ware products from
GÖPEL electronic
and gives the user the opportunity to integrate them into their own appli-
cations. The enclosed CD contains the setup for installing the
G-API
, which will guide you through the Hardware
Wizard. For more information about
G-API
, its installation and about the
Hardware Explorer
, see the

start Guide
.
2.2.3 Network Configuration
When using the ethernet interface, no driver installation is required to communicate with the control computer.
The device can be addressed directly via the IP address. However, to address the device, you will need a network
adapter that has a valid IP address and subnet mask. Otherwise the PC/ Laptop will not be able to communicate
with the
G CAR 6282
Multibus Controller in the network.
For this setup, open the ”Properties” dialog of the corresponding network adapter and select ”Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”.
