CONSOLE
The DAS has an LCD console and two push buttons labeled “menu” and “select”. These can be used to
configure some of the basic features of the DAS. The intended purpose of the console is to configure the
DAS to a point where a computer can communicate with it for further
detailed configuration.
When the DAS is running, it will show “EnergyHub Ready” and the current time alternated with the ethernet
IP address. If you choose to enable the console display of data points, the LCD will also show the selected
point names and current reading values. The display will change to the next listed item about once every
10 seconds. If a data point name is longer than will fit on the 16 character wide display, it will be scrolled.
Pressing the select button will cause the display to change to the next configured item.
Pressing the select button quickly will skip through multiple display points.
Pressing the Menu button will cause the main menu to appear. Once [Main Menu] is shown on the console,
the menu button will change the menu option, and the select button will take action on the currently
displayed option. Some options provide sub menus, others allow you to edit the option value. The following
is a tree display of the main menu and sub menus.
The
TCP/IP sub menu
will allow you to configure the ethernet settings for the DAS. To edit the IP settings,
use the menu button to change options, and press the select button to edit the option.
Once selected, you will see the curent value displayed and a blinking square cursor on the first character.
Press the menu button to change the character or digit. Press the select button to use the digit and move
the cursor to the right one space. If you press the select button multiple times, the cursor will move right a
similar number of spaces, allowing you to skip over characters that may be correct based on the previous
settings. When you are finished entering the IP address, select a blank space with the menu button, and
press select. Any characters still remaining to the right of the cursor will be eliminated. (i.e., if changing
128.193.100.200 to 10.0.0.1, the new IP address will be several digits shorter than the old one.
