How to Add Remote Panel Modules to a Network
Follow these steps to add remote panel modules to your network:
1 Connect up to 15 remote panel modules to the network with unique rotary switch settings
in the range 1 to F.
2 Go to the ‘CR Series Ethernet Settings’ page.
3 Verify that all added remote panel modules appear in the list.
4 For each remote panel module, click on the cell in the ‘IP Address’ column to edit the field.
Enter a unique IP address.
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for additional remote panel modules.
6 Click Apply Updates to send the changes to the selected frames. Only those frames with
‘Update’ checked in the table rows are updated. The data are stored in the frames internally.
Configuring a Router in CRSC
Use the ‘Router Levels’ page in CRSC to define router levels (i.e., partitions).
You can divide a router into as many as 4 partitions. (Those partitions could overlap if it would
suit your system design.)
Every router is at least one level.
There can be as many as 8 levels on any single subnet. To work with the routers on a subnet, you
must choose an “active subnet.”
Active Subnet
CRSC detects all subnets for which there are connections in your configuration PC. You can
place different CR Series devices on different subnets and use any available subnet you want.
Choose the subnet from the ‘Active Subnet’ drop-down list.:
The page refreshes its lists of levels after you choose a different subnet.
The designation “active” applies only in CRSC itself: it is the subnet you are configuring. In the
actual network, all subnets operate independently and concurrently.
How to Update a Level
1 In the ‘Setup Crosspoint Ranges for Levels’ table, locate the row listing the level you want to
change.
2 Optionally, in that row, click in the ‘Level Number’ or ‘Level Name’ cell to activate the field
and enter new values. Level numbers must be unique and in the range 1 to 250. Level names
are limited to 16 characters.
Remember to cycle power after you change a rotary switch.
However, if a rotary switch is set to zero (0), and you then power-cycle the router or
remote panel module, the device reverts to the factory default state, and loses its previ-
ously configured state.
