NODE+ Loop Card Fitting
●
This operation should only be performed by qualified personnel.
●
Power to the panel should be completely removed, both primary and secondary (batteries) supplies,
before the installation process of the card is initiated.
●
After the process is completed, re-apply power to the panel.
2 Male 20-way headers and 1 Male
8-way headers on the expansion board
should fit into the corresponding
female headers situated at the back of
the panel's main board.
Use 4 units of M3 x 5 mm screws
provided to fix NODE Expansion Loop.
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL DETAIL
The NODE+ Panel is designed to work integrated on
Chameleon networks. Any of the following Chameleon
networked panels can be interconnected: OCTO+,
GEKKO, NODE+ and CHAMELEON REP.
Different physical layer interfaces can be used such as
RS422, Fibre Optic or TCP/IP connections.
RS422 may be used for distances of up to 1200m.
For longer distances (up to 4,5 km) Fibre Optic Data
connections should be used. See page for cable
requirements for both types of installation.
Repeater Network Options
When you have an NODE+ integrated in a Chameleon Network system, the need for “network redundancy” should be
respected. To be able to achieve this, and as much as possible, system repeaters CHAMELEON-REP should be interleaved
on the network and connected in a “daisy chained” closed Loop topology, thus protecting the Data from interruptions,
creating a bi-directional communications path. If the panel loses communications with the repeater in one path, the
message will arrive via the opposite path.
