FCS - Operation Manual
If you want to review the current settings for other analog outputs, press the + or - buttons.
To skip ahead by 10 devices at at time, press the +10 button. Or press the yellow field and
use the keypad to enter a specific number.
Use the + or - buttons or press the yellow fields and use the keypad to change the values for
each analog output. You can select:
A. Output:
Choose the analog output number/channel that you want to configure.
Generally speaking, the minimum number can be 1 and the maximum number can be 60,
but conditions apply depending on the number of Modbus® VFDs that are included. For
the FCS-8 which can have a total of 8 analog outputs, this number can be 1 through 8.
Modbus ID:
Set the Modbus® ID for the analog output device. For an internal -AO Option
choose 1 (if the AO board is installed in the top position) or 2 (if the AO board is installed
in the bottom position). For an LNK-AO peripheral device or Modbus® VFD, choose a
number from 75 to 99. For the last output channel, choose 229 to indicate that this one
and all higher analog output channels are not being used.
NOTE:
Every digital device in the system must have a unique Modbus ID. Choose a number
that hasn’t yet been assigned to another device in the system. The number entered here
must match the Modbus ID number of the actual device.
Type:
Choose the type of analog output. You can choose 4-20 mA output or a
preconfigured VFD output. If you choose a preconfigured VFD output, the communication
is Modbus. To use a 4-20 mA connection to a VFD, use the Analog Output Configuration.
NOTE:
Modbus® ID 1 or 2 reserved for the internal analog boards and are strictly 4-20 mA.
When selected, you will not be able to change the Type field, it will automatically populate
with 4-20 mA.
Depending on the Type choice, the fields change on the screen.
For 4-20 mA configuration
:
AO Chanl:
Choose the channel (1 to 4) you are enabling or disabling on the analog
output device.
