CONEX-PP

Daisy-chaining

3.4.3
Up to 4 CONEX-PP series controllers can be networked through the internal RS232
communications link. Before daisy-chaining, the controller address of each stage must
be set separately. The CONEX-PP controller that will be connected to the PC must have
its controller address set to 1 and all subsequent stages must have a different controller
address set between 2 and 4.
Once the controller address of each stage is set, unplug all the power cables and
disconnect the USB cable from all the stages except for the CONEX-PP controller that
has its address set to 1. Use the daisy chain cables to connect each controller. It does not
matter whether you use the upper or lower RS422 connector to daisy chain the stages.
• Only the CONEX-PP controller with address 1 should be connected to the PC
• All other CONEX-PP controllers must be daisy-chained.
Plug in all the power supplies and open the GUI. Under the Address tab select the
Discover button to scan for connected CONEX-PP stages. Once the scan is complete,
discovered controllers will be added in "Detected controllers" list. Use the "Add"
button to add controllers to the "Selected controllers" list.
