Instrument Architecture - gefran GFW 400-600A Configuration And Programming Manual

INSTRUMENT ARCHITECTURE

The modular power controller's flexibility permits replacement of previous-version such as GEFLEX (GFX),
GFX4 and GFX4-IR instruments without changing the control software in use.
Based on the chosen work mode (see MODBUS SERIAL COMMUNICATION), you can use the instrument in 2 different modes:
- GFX compatible mode: as if there were at most 3 separate instruments (recommended for retrofitting projects and/
or replacement of damaged instruments);
- GFX4/GFW mode: as a single instrument with the same functions as at most 3 separate instruments, but with
possibility of interaction among the various parameters, inputs and outputs (recommended for new projects).
New shared parameters, are accessible for both modes and permit more advanced functions such as
604
FLt.2
In addition to having a CUSTOM group of parameters for dynamic addressing, GFX4/GFW mode lets you use a single
communication network node instead of 3 nodes as in GFX compatible mode.
When programming, keep in mind that some of the addresses
(parameters) described in this manual exist at most 3 times, specified
by address node (ID).
