2.5 Using the Ethernet Feature (J3)
The dryer controller is equipped with an Ethernet port located at
J3 on the control board which allows the customer to connect the
dryer to a local area network. The customer can then monitor the
dryer status and performance via Web Interface or ModbusTCP.
1. Web Interface
After assigning an IP address to the dryer the IP address can be
entered into the address bar of any web browser to connect to
the web interface.
The first page displayed is the home screen. Displayed on this
page are the dryers operating status, operating mode, current
dryer load, evaporator inlet temperature, evaporator outlet tem-
perature, discharge temperature, energy savings, and any active
alarms. The navigation bar at the top of this page can be used to
view event history, dryer scheduler, and dryer settings.
Energy savings is shown as the estimated annual energy savings
based on the actual energy cost (entered on the settings page)
and the average dryer load over the last 30 days.
Figure 1: Home Screen
The event history page shows the last 64 timestamped events that
have occurred on the dryer. These events include power failure/
recovery, dryer mode changes, dryer status changes, and alarms.
Figure 2: Event History
The dryer scheduler page allows the customer to view/edit the
daily start/stop times that will be used when operating the dryer
in scheduled mode.
