Network Applications
When multiple pumps or blowers are used together at a remediation site, it is often desirable to tie the control panels
together into a coordinated
network . The ORS SITEPRO™ embedded software will support networks of up to 16 control
panels.
Configure the ORS SITEPRO™ 2000 for network operation by setting the CONTROLLER ADDRESS, LOGIC and
SEND/RECEIVE switches.
Set CONTROLLER ADDRESS Switches
An important step in configuring ORS SITEPRO™ 2000 network is to organize the flow of information on the Interlock
Communication Bus to prevent lost signals resulting from the simultaneous broadcast of multiple alarms. This is done by
designating one panel as network Master and by assigning a unique network address to each of the remaining Slave
panels.
The Master then polls the Slaves in a set sequence determined by the numerical order of the network addresses and
allow each Slave to broadcast any alarms it has received from external interlock devices.
If possible, wire external interlock devices Normally Closed so that they open on
alarm. Such circuits are fail safe in that an alarm will be generated if a wire is
broken.
When configuring the LOGIC switch for a channel, never set both the Normally
Open and Normally Closed switches to the ON or OFF position. Doing this could
cause the panel either to lock in alarm or be unable to read an alarm.
