Plus-X 600 Installation and Operation Manual Rev B
1
Introduction
The Plus-X 600 is a versatile I/O solution for the ARC Plus, providing 16 status inputs, 8
metering inputs and 6 raise/lower command pairs. The Plus-X 600 communicates with the ARC
Plus via LAN/WAN, allowing installation anywhere a network connection is available.
The Plus-X 600 is part of the Plus-X family of Ethernet I/O products designed for the ARC Plus.
Installation Note
Even though you may operate the ARC Plus and Plus-X 600 on different subnets, Burk
Technology strongly recommends installing the Plus-X 600 on the same LAN as the ARC Plus.
In a network failure, an ARC Plus can only continue to monitor and control a Plus-X device on
the same LAN. If the network link between the units is not available, ARC Plus macros, alarm
monitoring and telephone control will be unavailable for the Plus-X device.
Before you Begin
Before installing the Plus-X 600, please have the following network settings ready:

The IP address of your ARC Plus
