Reset the Ethernet interface by pressing the „RST” button on the module or simply disconnect the power
supply for a few seconds. After the reset, the connection between the interface and the router should be back after
approximately 30 seconds.
Settings in the PowerSecurity program.
For further configuration, the PowerSecurity program is required. The program is available on:
http://www.pulsar.pl/pliki/PowerSecurity.exe
The program is saved as an executable file and does not require installation. Run the PowerSecurity
program and choose the Power Supplies > New Power Supply option from the menu bar. The “Configuration of
connection” window, that allows configuring the settings, will be displayed.
The following three parameters are of special importance:
- TCP address that indicates the interface located in a given segment of the network topology
Caution! If the connection is via a WAN use the public IP address of the router.
- The address in the „PSU” window indicating the power supply unit in the RS485 bus, connected to the segment
addressed by the TCP
- The TCP port, the number of the port responsible for data transmission
Attention should be paid to the refresh period of the preview. It should be extended accordingly to the
number of power supply units in the system in order to prevent communication interference.
