Programming the ACT2 Controller Using the Maestro Software Interface
5
Overview
Introduction
This bulletin is designed to help users install the Maestro software
interface and use it to setup, monitor, and adjust an ACT2 controller or
network of controllers.
Once installed on a PC, the Maestro software enables the user to link
to ACT2 sites either remotely via a modem dial-up or through a direct
(cable) connection to an ACT2 controller.
Direct connection is frequently used as a quick way to enter the initial
setpoints and parameter settings when commissioning an ACT2
controller. A new ACT2 controller may be set up at the shop before it
is delivered to the job site, reducing the need to program the controller
with the integral four key system.
Remote connection is frequently used to monitor the status of a
commissioned site, and change settings, eliminating the need for most
site visits. Remote connection is also be used to gather troubleshooting
information before sending a service technician to the site.
