General settings
Configuring number of expansions
The main unit can work independently with its on board 20 I/O points or can be extended with the use of
expansion modules (
LNK-IO16-EXP
).
Up to 10 expansion modules can be configured.
When at least 1 expansion
is configured, the menu option for “I/O readings”, “Configure I/O”,
“Auto/Manual” and functions will show an extra menu to allow to set the main device and each expansion
individually. The main unit manages all the strategies and controls, but the settings are conveniently
separated per physical device.
Temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit
All Universal Channels configured to read “passive analog inputs” (
any NTC, PT1000, PT500, PT100, PTC) will
display a temperature, and by default they are shown in
˚
C (Celsius).
It is possible to convert the temperatures to
˚
F (Fahrenheit) within the Link IO module, so no conversion is
required on the BMS.
Permanent memory use
Link IO saves permanent data within its flash memory.
As with any permanent memory, there is a limited amount of writings you can do before the memory cells
could fail. With the Link IO the permanent memory is guaranteed for 1 million writings per cell.
Configuration settings are not going to change much. There are 2 data sets that is worth checking:
•
The total value of the pulse counter functions
•
The set-point and hysteresis of the thermostat functions
