9.0 Additions to the Network

If additional plugs are required after an initial installation,
one of two procedures should be followed.
If there is inadequate controller metering capacity, such that
the new meters cannot be connected to an existing installed
controller bus plug, a new controller bus plug must be
installed. This plug will NOT be "daisy chained" to any
neighbors, and addressing the rack is not required (default
setting 0). CAT6 cable must be run from the PC port to the
selected data aggregator. See Section 6.3 for CAT6 wiring
instructions. Refer to Section 7.0 for commissioning an
additional controller.
If the existing installation allows for any meters in an
additional plug to be uniquely addressed, then a controller
plug is not required. Simply install the additional plug per
Section 6.0. The rotary switch must be set so as to uniquely
address the meters in the new bus plug, see Section 7.3 to
address the meter rack appropriately. "Daisy chain" the
isolated communication cable to the neighboring plug per
Section 6.3. The meters will be visible via the controller they
are connected to.
If a SCADA system is integrated with the SEM3™ network,
additional steps may be required to integrate any system
modifications or new metering points. See Section 10.0.
