System Configuration
Initiate IntelliTRACE Panel Network
Before you can utilize intelliTRACE Supervisory
Software, you must first follow these steps:
1. Connect intelliTRACE panels to your network
& power them up.
2. From
each panel or system touch screen
computer that is on your system, record the
following communication details:
• Modbus Address
• IP Address (slave ID)
• Port Number
This detail is found on the
COMMS Page on the
ITLS or ITAS Panel. See Figure 1:
Be sure that the
Modbus Type is RTU over TCP
Refer to Chromalox Installation Manual PK497 for complete Panel setup instructions.
Planning Your IntelliTRACE System
Take the time to properly plan your system. In addition to the communication details for each “panel”, you will need
to organize your circuits into groups which make sense for your facility. For your convenience, a table is provided
with this manual to capture communication, naming, circuit setting and parameter value information.
See the sample below:
