Heat Manager Pro User Manual V1.5 Page 55
Here is a list on how to set the master-slave configuration in the right order:
1)
Set the correct IP addresses for the master and slave(s). Push the [config help] button on
the heat manager for extra explanation.
2)
Connect the master and slaves with an ethernet connection with help of a switch (note that
when only 1 master and 1 slave is used, only 1 ethernet cable, either crossed or straight,
can be used for this purpose, when more than 1 slave is used you need a switch)
3)
Set the corresponding heat manager configuration to master- slave (or standalone, with no
interconnections)
4)
On the master/slave
configuration screen, push
[next]. The master will scan
how many slaves are
connected and the slave(s) are
going to look for a master.
5)
If all is ok you will see the
message “detected”. If not,
check the cabling and IP addresses and the interconnection network.
6)
When all this is ok, the master/slave(s) are connected to each other and see each other.
Now you must program in the master Heatmanager Pro a profile in channel 1, that will be
used for the slaves.
7)
On the slave modules, set the channels that must be connected to channel 1 of the master
Heatmanager Pro in the channel config to “remote”.
8)
When all these configurations are done and ok you can start the channel 1 of the master
Heatmanager Pro, the slaves will follow this master with setvalue and can also put the
master in hold (when enabled)
Don’t forget to put the heatmanager(s) back to “stand alone” after the work is finished, otherwise
somebody else can have a problem when he wants to use the Heatmanager Pro for another
job.
You can also set this configuration in the workshop prior to operation in the field. When the
Heatmanager Pro starts up and when it is not set to stand alone, it will first show the
master/slave/stand alone configuration screen before actually starting to test the connections.
That way you can also put it back to stand alone when somebody forgets to do so.
Please note, then when a master-slave connection is present, the master- and/or slave(s)
monitor the connection and gives an error when it is not present anymore.
When a slave detects that the master Heatmanager Pro is not communicating anymore, it
will automatically stop the remote channels connected to it. The other channels, that are
not set to remote, keep on running.
Note that when a slave tries to detect to a master, it will automatically adjust its unit of
operation (°C/°F) to the unit of operation of the master.
