The present system configuration is shown in the dedicated page of the display (expansion modules),
where it is possible to see the number, the type and the status of the modules.
The I/O numbering is shown under each module.
The status (energised/de-energised) of every single I/O and communication channel is highlighted in reverse
NOTE:
Remove any dangerous voltage and repeat the operations from step 5 to step 2 in the opposite direction. Press in the
point indicated by the * in the picture in order to remove the module.
12.1. Additional resources
The expansion modules provide additional resources that can be used through the dedicated setup
menus.
The setup menus related to the expansions are always accessible, even if the expansion modules are not
physically fitted.
For more information download the complete manual of the RPC 8BGA power factor controller from the web site
download area concerning the low voltage power factor correction systems.

12.1.1. Communication
The 8BGA power factor controller supports a maximum of 2 communication modules, indicated as
COMn. The communication setup menu is thus divided into two sections (n=1 … 2) of parameters for
the setting of the ports.
