Internal DC source - informs about the voltage value of the internal DC source of the controller. This
value is used to check for eventual overloading of the internal power supply, which may lead to the
"DC source overload" fault. See chapter Measured parameters and statuses for details.
Optimize internal relay consumption - this feature tries to optimize the consumption of the built-in
relays to decrease the probability that "DC source overload" fault is raised when the two relays are
switched on. The feature is active only when both relays are switched on. For details about this fault
state, see chapter Measured parameters and statuses. Before activating this function, it is
recommended to reduce the DC source load on the + 12V and + 5V terminals, i.e. connect the control
circuit of all used SSRs to an external power supply (see Figure 12) when the two internal relays are
active.
Network configuration:
Controller IP address – IP address saved/stored in the controller. The controller uses this address to
"listen" to all UDP and TCP/IP (HTTP) incoming requests. You must always assign a static address.
Dynamic address assignment (DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is not supported.
Controller mask – a network mask to which the controller is connected.
Default router IP address – default gateway IP address. We recommend using IP address of your
router. Since firmware version 1.5, all requests of the newly implemented DNS protocol are
automatically routed to this IP address.
Controller MAC address – physical (MAC) address of the controller. Change this address only if there is
a conflict between physical addresses in your local network.
UDP port – port used by the controller to listen to UDP requests.
HTTP port – port used by the controller to listen to HTTP requests.
The network configuration will become effective after you reset the controller (see option "Reset
unit on config. write").
Date and time settings:
Synchronize date and time with the client - check this field if you want to synchronize the controller
date and time with the actual time running in your PC. The date and time will be synchronized when
the configuration is subsequently written.
Synchronize date and time with time server - check this box if you want the controller to synchronize
the date and time once a week with the time server on the Internet. In order for synchronization to
work, the controller must be connected to the Internet, a valid time server IP address must be set and
the default gateway IP address must also be set correctly. The moment of synchronization is
calculated from the serial number of the controller and is different for each controller.
In order for the time server synchronization function to work, the controller must be connected to
the Internet, the time server IP address or its domain name must be valid and the default gateway
IP address must be set correctly!
Time server (hostname) - time Server domain name. Here changes were made since firmware version
1.5:
Firmware since version 1.5: The time server name is stored directly in the controller and its IP is
obtained automatically using the newly implemented DNS protocol. Then, the IP address of the time
