CHAPTER 4: MPS-488HP RMS OPTION

RMS MODULE

The RMS user panel includes an Identify button, Wink/Activ-
ity LED, and two FT-10 Network connectors.

Identify Button
The Identify button serves the following functions:
■ If the MPS-488HP has not yet been discovered on the
RMS network (Wink/Activity LED not lit), press the Iden-
tify button to discover and enable it.
To remove the MPS-488HP from the RMS network,
■
press and hold the Identify button during startup (see
"Discovering the MPS-488HP" on page 17).
■ To wink a discovered MPS-488HP, press and hold the
momentary Identify button on the rear panel. The Wink
LED on the MPS-488HP icon in Compass RMS lights up
and the Wink/Activity LED on the RMS user panel turns
solid green. Release the Identify button to unwink the
MPS-488HP.
TIP: The Wink function is useful for identifying
the physical MPS-488HP corresponding to an
icon in Compass RMS.
TIP: The MPS-488HP can also be winked by
clicking the Wink button on the MPS-488HP
icon in Compass RMS.
Wink/Activity LED (Green)
The green Wink/Activity LED indicates the status of the
MPS-488HP:
■ During startup, the LED flashes green 10 times.
■ If the MPS-488HP has not yet been discovered on the
RMS network, the LED is not lit after startup.

RMS Network
■ If the MPS-488HP has been successfully discovered on
the RMS network, the LED flashes green continuously
and flashes more rapidly with increased data activity.
When the MPS-488HP is winked, either by clicking the
■
Wink button in Compass RMS or by pressing the Identify
RMS Network
Identify
button on the RMS user panel, the LED is solid green.

RMS Network Connectors
The Weidmuller 2-conductor, locking connectors transfer
data to and from the RMS network. Two connectors are pro-
vided to allow for easy connection of multiple (daisy-
chained) RMS devices on the network. Included with each
RMS-equipped MPS-488HP are RMS cable connectors and
mounting blocks for constructing RMS cables. The RMS
blocks allow cables to be securely attached to the RMS
module with screws.

NEURON ID FOR RMS MODULE

Each RMS module has a unique 12-character Neuron ID
(NID) that identifies the MPS-488HP on the network. The
NID is automatically detected by RMServer. The NID label is
located on the RMS user panel near the orange Network
connectors.

RESETTING THE RMS MODULE

You can use the Identify button to reset the RMS module
when powering on the MPS-488HP. This will cause the
MPS-488HP to be removed from the RMS network.
To reset the RMS module:
1. Power down the MPS-488HP by pressing its power
switch.
2. Press and hold the Identify button.
3. While continuing to hold down the Identify button, power
on the MPS-488HP by pressing its power switch.
4. After the Wink/Status LED flashes on and off, release the
Identify button. The RMS module is reset and the
MPS-488HP is removed from the RMS network.
The Wink function is useful for identifying
