TAC4
Network
8.6
The “TAC4 Network” menu is used to configure and supervise all the units present in the network.
Configuration
8.6.1
The “Configuration” tab is used to add/remove and to address units on the network.
Each TAC4 unit is factory programmed with the address Modbus 1. To network several units, the
different units must be re-addressed.
There are several methods possible for re-addressing the units:
1)
By connecting directly on each unit using a TAC4 RC:
Change address via SETUP ADVANCE
2)
Via the web pages of the TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module by supplying one unit at a time:
Connect all the TAC4 units in a network but supply only one unit at a time. You will then only
have one unit with the address 1 on the network. You can then change its address via the web
pages, then supply the next unit to change its address and so forth.
3)
Via the web pages of the TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module by adding a unit to the TAC4 network
each time:
Connect a unit to the network physically and change the address. Then add a unit at a time to
the network and change the address.
Once all the units are present, scan the network. The TAC4 TCP/IP or GPRS module
will list all the units present on the network. You can then enter a unit name.
Overview
8.6.2
The “Overview” tab is used to get an overview of your network of TAC4 units. It shows the main
information for each unit.
The units connected in the “configuration” tab are not automatically inserted in the supervision table. To
add a unit in this table, click in the address box and enter the address corresponding to the unit you want
to view.
The maximum number of units under supervision is
10.
Attention
: Only the units entered under this tab will be able to send an alarm (“Alarm warning” tab) via e-
mail and/or SMS.
