Connecting a VIBROCONTROL 18xx and a VC-1801
The procedure is as follows:
•
Set the relay box selector switch on the front of the VC-1801 to "Box 1" (or "Box 2" for future
expansions)
•
Connect the VIBROCONTROL 18xx relay module and VC-1801 with
each other via the DIN-rail bus connector.
•
Mount the two modules on a 35 mm DIN-rail
•
Connect the VIBROCONTROL 18xx to the +24 VDC power supply
•
You will now see that the status LED on the front panel of the VC-1801 is lit red.
•
Connect the VIBROCONTROL 18xx to a PC that has the Compact Setup software installed (for
example using a USB connection cable).
•
Enable the Compact Setup software of the relay module:
Edit / Monitor / Outputs / Relay Module 1/ check selection box (
).
•
In the Compact Setup click on "Apply" to apply the changes.
•
Note that the VC-1801 status LED changes color from Red to Green.
NOTE!
In the unlikely event that there is a loss of communication between the VC-18xx and the
VC-1801 relay box, the procedure described above may also be used to re-establish
communication between the two devices.
