3. Connections 3.1 System Diagram CP8N can active different ports at one time. It means every button can send the RS232 and RS485 commands, IR code and control the relay at the same time. The demo system diagram as below: 3.2 Connection of Programming and Looping...
Page 10 After connect the CP8Ns as above, and then we should set the ID of each CP8N by PS-WP. The ID number is from 01 to 99, and it also is the class of the CP8N in the loop, different CP8Ns should set to different ID. After connections finish, we can set the control modes by PS-WP.
