Addressing the Devices
Each device used by DXP-HT and identified in the report file must have a unique NetLinx ID.
Therefore, each device will need to be addressed so it can be properly controlled. The easiest
method for setting device addresses is to connect each device onto the bus one at a time. The online
tree in NetLinx studio can be used to quickly identify which device was just added to the system.
When a device is plugged into the bus it should display in the online tree in a matter of seconds. If a
device is unplugged from the bus it will take a little longer to disappear because the Master is
constantly sampling the bus for devices. When a new device is discovered it is immediately added
to the system. However, if a device disappears from the bus, the Master will give it several retries
before giving up and removing it.
By addressing devices one at a time in this fashion it is very easy to do the addressing away from
the job site (office, home, etc.). This can save time and legwork while on-site where there are
always a million other things to get done.
Once the new device shows up in the online tree, its device ID and device type is displayed. Use
this device ID to change to the new value specified in the report file.
To change the device ID:
1.
Access the Device Addressing dialog by either one of these two methods:
Right-click on any system device listed in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace and
select Device Addressing (from the pop-up list).
Select Diagnostics > Device Addressing from the Main menu.
2.
Select the Change Device checkbox, from the Device to Change section.
3.
Enter both the Current and New Device address values for the target NetLinx device. Be sure to
enter the new corrected device ID (as specified in the report file) in the Change To Device field.
4.
Click the Change Device/System Number button. Make sure the Change To Device check
box is selected and the Change To System check box is not selected. This configures the
specified Master to accept the new value for the NetLinx device and incorporate the
information (the system information in the Workspace window refreshes and then displays the
new information).
5.
Click Done to close the Device Addressing dialog.
6.
Select Tools > Reboot the Master Controller to access the Reboot the Master dialog, then
click Continue to reboot the Master and incorporate any changes. Allow 20 - 30 seconds for
the Master to reboot. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink
during the incorporation. Wait until only the STATUS LED is the only LED to blink.
7.
Right-click the associated System number (from the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace
window) and select Refresh System to establish a new connection to the specified Master and
refresh the System list with devices on that system.
