Configuring a New System or Module
Both the Master Panel and any Modular Panel in your system will have a PLC in it. In
order for these PLCs to communicate, they have an Ethernet card installed in an
expansion slot. These cards must be properly configured to allow communication
between the various panels. Configuration is accomplished by the setting of DIP
switches on the Ethernet card (labeled ECOM on the front of the card in your PLC).
Following are the steps to configure your ECOM card:
1. Turn off all power to the control panels.
2. Locate the ECOM card in your PLC and disconnect the Ethernet cable from the
port on the front.
3. Remove the ECOM card from the PLC by releasing the clips on top and bottom
of the card and gently pulling the card out of the PLC.
4. Locate the DIP switches as shown in the photo below.
5. Using the table below, set the DIP switches accordingly.
a. Master Panel must have the ID# settings shown (usually already set at the
factory.
b. Do not use duplicate DIP switch settings on any 2 modules.
c. Harvest order of the Modules is determined by the ID# from lowest to
highest.
d. ID#s do not need to be consecutive.
6. Re-install the ECOM card in the slot from which it was removed.
7. Re-attach the Ethernet cable.
8. Restore the power to the control panels.
