INSTALLATION WARNING! This equipment shall be installed in a closed cabinet with no access to live parts. Only the top enclosure of the equipment (where the label is affixed) is allowed to be accessed by the operator. Since the module is connected to mains/line voltage, it must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
Communication LEDs Con LED - green The Con LED is on when the module is connected to the Ethernet network. Act LED - yellow The Act LED indicates that communication via Ethernet is in progress. St LED - red The status LED indicates that the boot loader of the module is active. This should only happen during firmware update.
CONFIGURATION Configuration can be done either via the built-in website or via TCP/IP connection. In the latter case the configuration interface the third-party controller provides is used. Configuration via the web interface Use the FNIP Network Discovery Utility software to find all FutureNow IP devices on your network.
Network settings You can choose between using DHCP or static IP address here. Enable HTTP authentication HTTP authentication can be disabled to make HTTP communication easier for third party applications. Enable broadcast messages FNIP modules periodically send out heartbeat broadcast messages with basic information about themselves.
Username and password settings Three different users can be defined, each with three different user rights: admin, actor and observer. Admins have access to all functions, including control outputs, monitoring the status of the inputs, outputs and changing all the settings. Actors are allowed to control the outputs and monitor the status of the inputs and the outputs but are not...
Channel settings On the Settings page the outputs and inputs can be renamed. Input modes can also be chosen here. The input mode determines the logical connection between the input and the output of the given channel. For details on possible input modes and how they work, see Operation via the local inputs section of this document.
Scenes Scenes are predefined states of the outputs. FutureNow Scenes are developed to provide group commands for FutureNow modules used in stand-alone mode. Any input of any module in the group can trigger actions for any outputs in the same group of modules. If a module receives a Scene Activation Command (SAC), the designated outputs will go to a pre-defined state.
On the Firmware page click browse and find the new firmware on your PC. The latest firmware versions are always downloadable from P5’s website. Then click Upload. The St LED turns on and stays on or blinks during firmware update. After uploading the new firmware –...
OPERATION Operation via the local inputs The inputs can be activated by shorting (or opening) the appropriate input terminal. Input modes The inputs are factory defaulted to toggle mode and can be changed via the web interface of the module or by TCP/IP commands. The input modes work as follows. 1.
7. Scene on close mode If an input gets active the scene assigned to the input will be executed. 8. Inverted Input This checkbox inverting the active mode of the input circuit. 1. Threshold Since this module measures resistance on the inputs, an input is considered active if the measured value is below the Threshold.
Neets • Home Assistant Software modules/plug-ins for controllers are either available or P5 will provide full assistance in creating them. Besides these special-purpose controllers, there have been many applications for embedded industrial PC boards, PCs and smartphones running Linux, Windows, Mac OS.
