Flexbus Setup and Configuration 

 

Flexbus uses a MAC address to individually identify each Flexbus pump and 
receiver.  Identification and numeric assignment of each Flexbus pump and receiver 
is setup within the Flexbus controller through the order that the pump or receiver is 
turned on and discovered during the Pump Assignment routine and the Receiver 
Assignment routine setup processes.   
 
Once the initial setup has been completed, the Flexbus system will retain the setup 
and identification of each pump (a single pump with Flexbus Lite) and each receiver 
indefinitely.   After the initial identification order and numeric assignment has been 
saved, the operator can later make adjustments to the pump's numeric assignment 
order and to the receiver numeric assignment order and assign a 4-character 
alphanumeric identification name to each receiver. 
 

Secondary Control Setup* - 

Flexbus has the option of installing a second 

controller to mirror the primary control at a second location on the communication 
line.  To add a second controller, enter the password 12358 and select Secondary. 
All initialization of pumps and receives must to be done on the Primary controller.  

* excludes Flexbus Lite
