Fieldbus - HortiMaX Go! User Manual

5.3 Fieldbus

The switches are connected to each other using a fieldbus system. The fieldbus
system enables digital communication between the switches and the controller via a
network cable.
Each Smart Switch in the network is assigned a unique address. This address is set
using the DIP switch
toggle switches. The first three toggle switches (1-3) allow you to set the zone
number; the last five toggle switches on the right-hand side (4-8) allow you to set the
unique ID number of the Smart Switch.
A green status LED on the switches indicate whether communication is currently
active. If no communication is possible, a red LED will light up continuously. This may
have various causes:
Controller failure
Broken cable
Wrong cable used
Power failure at one of the connected switches
Failure of one or more switches
Disruption by an external factor such as a frequency controller or high-voltage
cable
Incorrect ID address (DIP switch position)
Incorrect or duplicate terminal resistance installed
Communication problems due to incorrect installation may sometimes only arise after
some time or following a system expansion. To avoid such problems, make sure to
follow the installation instructions carefully.
