Multichannel settings
On the master unit, configure the settings for the connection with the PC, and set
the channel and domain.
On the slave units, configure the LAN settings, and set the channels and domains.
PWR-01s that have the same domain number perform multichannel operations
as a single VMCB network. You can connect up to 31 PWR-01s to a single VMCB
network.
Multichannel uses Multicast DNS (mDNS). Under Hostname / Service on the LAN
CONFIG page accessed through a Web browser, the Enable mDNS check box
must be selected. By default, this check box is selected.
For datails of CONFIG settings, see the PWR-01 user's manual.
- Note -
• Within the VMCB network, channel 0 is assigned to the master unit and all other
channel numbers are assigned to slave units. Do not assign the same channel
to two different PWR-01s on the same VMCB network.
• Configure all PWR-01s so that they have the same LAN settings (CF61: IP
address assignment method, CF67: VMCB domain number).
Slave unit settings
Normally, you should set DHCP and AUTO IP to ON to set the IP address automat-
ically. For details on the LAN settings, see LAN under Interface Setup.
Configure all PWR-01s on the same VMCB network so that they have the same
CONFIG settings (CF61: IP address assignment method, CF67: VMCB domain
number).
The remote interface setting (CF40) is not valid on slave units.
1
Press CONFIG several times until CF60 is displayed.
2
Turn the VOLTAGE knob until CF61 (IP address assignment method) is
displayed.
3
Use the CURRENT knob to select 110.
DHCP and AUTO IP are set to on, and MANUAL IP is set to off.
If you do not want to use a DHCP server or the AUTO IP function, refer to the us-
er’s manual and set them accordingly.
4
Turn the VOLTAGE knob until CF67 (multichannel (VMCB) domain num-
ber) is displayed.
5
Use the CURRENT knob to set the domain number.
PWR-01s that have the same domain number perform multichannel operations.
Set this value to a number other than 0.
6
Turn the VOLTAGE knob until CF68 (multichannel (VMCB) channel
number) is displayed.
7
Use the CURRENT knob to set the channel number.
Specify a unique channel number on the VMCB network. For a slave unit, set
this value to a number other than 0.
8
Turn the PWR-01 off.
