You must have a separate address for each PCS
controller that is connected to the RS485
Adapter. Refer to the PCS controller manual
for information on how to set the serial address
of the controller. For the Serial Configuration,
use the defaults for the Comm Port (unless the
RS485 Adapter is connected to a different
Comm Port), Baud Rate and Type (COM1,
19200, RS485). Below the “Serial
Configuration” section, is a section labeled
“Configuration Of Devices.” In this section you
must enter an address and type for each PCS
Controller connected to the RS485 Adapter.
In order to add and configure the units, You
must first select the address, then set the device
type in the drop down box, then rename the
units to a descriptive name. There are two ways
to set the address for each unit, individually or
as a group. To set the address individually, set
the “From” and “To” boxes to the serial address
of the unit, a new unit with the given address
will be added to the list of devices. To set the
address for a range of units, select the first
address in the “From” box and the last address
in the “To” box. After the address has been set,
set the device type to either Hussmann Protocol
Controller or Hussmann Pump Station
Controller (click on the check mark beside the
box and scroll the list of items until the correct
one is shown). New units with the appropriate
address or range of addresses will be added to
the list of devices. Once the units are added,
name the units with a descriptive name. Note
that the default name is unitX where X
represents the address. The name can be
changed by selecting the name in the Device
Description column and entering the new name.
When finished with the serial and site
configuration, press the Save & Exit button.
Note that the address selected for each unit
must match the address set in the appropriate
PCS controller in order for the PlantVisor
system to communicate with the PCS
controllers. Refer to paragraph 10.9.3 for
details on how to tell if controller is
communicating with the PlantVisor.
