The Internet (Ethernet) connection is a point-to-point connection between a PC and a controller or site via an TCP/IP protocol-based network. The physical configuration of such network can be a small local area ethernet network as well as the Internet.

Controllers

Hint:

Ethernet connection is available for all mentioned controllers via external bridge IG-IB or IB-NT (see the chapter Ethernet connection via IG-IB/IB-NT).

Number of clients connected simultaneously

2 clients with InteliMonitor or WebSupervisor (Comap/TCP protocol) 2 clients with web interface

Using a web browser

Ethernet connection to controller makes possible using any web browser for basic monitoring and adjustment of the controller. Simply put the IP address of the module into the address line in your web browser like http://192.168.1.254 and then enter access code. In case of connection from web browser there is 5 minutes timeout after closing the browser window. After that the client is automatically logged out.

Ethernet connection settings

Parameters can be set via any type of connection (USB, RS232, Ethernet). Setup is provided via InteliMonitor. For Ethernet connection set these parameters in Comms Settings group:

ETHERNET connection

The IP addresses of the controllers must be accessible from the remote computer. If the remote computer is connected into another LAN segment than the gen-sets are, there must be a gateway(s) that enable direct traffic between the segments. If the remote computer is connected via Internet, then the internet gateway of the LAN where gen-sets are connected must have public IP address, must allow incoming traffic and must provide port forwarding from the external public IP to the different internal gen-set IPs according to the port used.

Modbus/TCP access code

Every Modbus/TCP session has to be started with writing the access code from the modbus/tcp client to the controller. If the session is closed and reopened again the access code must be written again. The session can be closed by the client or the controller closes the session automatically if there is no activity from the client side for 15s.

- There are new dedicated registers for entering the AccessCode via Modbus/TCP.

- The register numbers are 46339-46346 (register address 6338-6345).

- The previous method using register address 24535 remains working as well.

- Example of the Modbus message is following (in HEX):

01 10 18 C2 00 08 10 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FE F3

How to open Internet connection in InteliMonitor?

Using a web browser

Ethernet connection to controller makes possible using any web browser for basic monitoring and adjustment of the controller. Simply put the IP address of the module into the address line in your web browser like http://192.168.1.254 and then enter access code. In case of connection from web browser there is 5 minutes timeout after closing the browser window. After that the client is automatically logged out.

NOTE:

The IP addresses of the controllers must be accessible from the remote computer. If the remote computer is connected into another LAN segment than the gen-sets are, there must be a gateway(s) that enable direct traffic between the segments. If the remote computer is connected via Internet, then the internet gateway of the LAN where gen-sets are connected must have public IP address, must allow incoming traffic and must provide port forwarding from the external public IP to the different internal gen-set IPs according to the port used.

Internet connection via AirGate

This connection type is used for connection to controllers/sites, that are connected to the Internet, however they do not have public and static IP address. The controllers connect by themselves to the AirGate server and cyclically ask whether there is a connection request from a client or not. On the other side the clients (InteliMonitor, WebSupervisor) connect to the AirGate server instead of connecting directly to the controller. The server then creates a "tunnel" between the client and the controller. Internet connection via AirGate server is supported by controllers IG-NTC-BB and IS-NTCBB with ethernet connection possibility. The connection to ethernet is realized the same way as

remote ethernet connection.

CAUTION!

To avoid unauthorized access to the controller change the access code and keep it secret!

PRINCIPLE OF AIRGATE CONNECTION

Parameters can be set via any type of connection (USB, RS232, Ethernet). Setup is provided via InteliMonitor. For ethernet connection set these parameters in Comms Settings group:

In case of connection IV8 to controller via CAN(2) bus the collision can occur. IV8 is in this case connected via 123 and 124 CAN (2) physical address, that can be used for other peripheral modules (see the table bellow). Make sure, that real CAN(2) physical address (123 and 124) are not shared by other devices such as I-LB+ module.

Comms extension - I-LB+ Local bridge

Description

I-LB+ is communication modules for communication with all devices connected to CAN(2) bus. I-LB+ is successors of the IG-MU unit designed to be used with IG/IS controllers. It therefore provides additional communication port and higher communication speed. Speed for direct/modem connection can be up to 57600 bps (IG-MU only 19200 bps). I-LB / I-LB+ can be connected with PC via USB, RS232 or RS485. I-LB is without USB port, I-LB+ is with USB port (speed ≈ 115200 bps).

For connection from PC see the manual of the PC program (InteliMonitor, etc.). Open the Open/Select connection window and set:

 Internet type of connection  Controller address  Access code  IG-IB IP address

Note that IP address you set can be different from the IP address of iG-IB (when the iG-IB IP address is not public). It depends on gateway setting:

One controller - RS232 connection

In this case no dongle is necessary. One unit could be also connected via CAN interface.

Two controllers – CAN / Ethernet connection

The dongle must be used. The type of IG-IB dongle limits number of accessible controllers (up to 32). Dongles for up to 3, 7, 15 and 32 controllers are available. See also IG-IB Dongle

IG-IB Configuration

It is necessary to configure unit before its first use because new IG-IB from factory is not configured. Internet Bridge can be connected to Internet

via LAN – Ethernet connector or

via dial up – MODEM connector. Maximal length of UTP cable (between IG-IB and Switching hub) is 100m according to IEEE 802.3. Corresponding firmware must be downloaded to IG-IB depends on required connection type.

For IG-IB V2.5 firmware configuration use IG-IB configuration tool (IBConfig.exe) at least V1.2 or higher. IBConfig of V1.2 can be used for IG-IB firmware 1.0 and 1.1 as well. For IG-IB V2.1 firmware configuration use IBConfig at least V1.4 or higher.

Hint:

You cannot update firmware in IS-Display terminal by means of IG-IB version 2.0 and lower. Available support for IGS-NT is in IG-IB 2.1 and higher. In case you use 2.0 version, the message appears (Access not allowed (object 24431)) because IG-IB is not able to work with IS-Display.

IG – IB jumpers:

The hardware jumpers have following meaning: P1 – test mode – should be disconnected! P2 – internal use – should be disconnected! P3 – reset – should be disconnected!

It is necessary to set IG-IB's CAN address using IBConfig-1.5 in this way: IG-IB’s CAN address has to be set to CAN-Addr.1, if I-LB which is set to the address ADR1 is connected to the same CAN bus as IG-IB. Use option CAN-Addr.2 if I-LB is set to ADR2.

Connection Holding Time

Keep Permanent Connection

E-mail setting is necessary only when Active e-mails are enabled in Controller. It is used as a sender address when iG-IB sends active e-mail.

After e-mail is successfully sent, waiting for operator response. If checked connection to ISP is never terminated.

It is established immediately after IG-IB is initialized. If the communication is interrupted, it is re-established. It is necessary that the IP address of IG-IB is static so that the PC software (e.g. WinEdit) “knows” to which address to re-connect. If this option is not selected, the connection to ISP is established on request from terminal only. IP address obtained from ISP is then sent to the terminal via email (IP address can be dynamic in this case).

9

Access Code

Code for unblocking the remote communication with the controller. Use InteliMonitor/DriveMonitor to enter or change access code.

Active e-mail can be sent only when operating modem is detected. IG-IB makes five open connection attempts on active e-mail request. There are three attempts to sent e-mail when connection is opened. Connection is opened for “Connection holding time” after e-mail is successfully sent.

Note for iG-IB firmware version 1.0 or 1.1 users: active e-mail sending may fail if selected SMTP server returns a multiline responses. Use firmware version 2.0 to solve this problem.

Hint:

From IG-IB-2.1 the dongle sets the limit of number of connected controllers. If the controller is connected via RS232, the address 1 is supposed. Currently it is possible to order only dongle IG-IB32 as replace for all others dongles that got obsolete.

Internet Connection Diagnostics

Following method is Comap PC SW independent way how to check connection from PC via Internet to some controller. The basic diagnostic of iG-IB to internet connection could be done using telnet software:

1) Start telnet software

2) In telnet window write command „open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx“

3) If the connection is OK, you should get a nontext (binary - firmware version) answer. Depending

on the font you use in the telnet window correct message looks like:

Hint:

Telnet software is included in standard Windows installation. To run telnet use Windows Start – Run button and write “telnet”, OK.

The solution principle is shown in attached picture. All addresses in this text and in the picture are fictive and will be different on real installation, port numbers are real. If the network software is configured as shown in picture, users from Internet will be able to connect from Comap PC SW to address 195.122.194.89 and communicate with IG-IB behind firewall. So in fact, we enter to PC SW different address than is configured in IG-IB, as is correctly noted in the manual. Needed changes are these:

1. DHCP server in private network (if used): exclude address 192.168.1.250 from the address poll which are available to lease from this server, so that this address couldn't be assigned to any device in the network. This will make this address available for use by IG-IB.

2. Firewall: Configure transparent proxy channel from external interface 195.122.194.89, port 23 to protected network, internal address 192.168.1.250, port 23. This transparent proxy will do all network address translation needed when communicating from public network with internal private network. Port 23 on interface 195.122.194.89 should be usually free for this use, as normally is this port used for telnet service and telnet is considered dangerous to use on firewalls.

I-CR Module for CAN Bus Extension

If the distance between units is too high to fit into the 200 m limit (or 900 m for 8 controllers), CAN repeater module (I-CR) can be used to extend it. Typical case – in line extension:

This connection allows PC communication to all controllers in the system (e.g. via InteliMonitor), including a distant InteliMains unit.

I-CR module functions:

- Intercontroller CAN bus extension (one or more I-CR modules can be used).

- Intercontroller CAN bus bus-tie bridging – makes groups of controllers in segments A and B

“invisible” one for another depending on bus-tie breaker state, keeping the PC communication (ILB, IG-IB) in function for all controllers.

- Peripheral CAN bus extension

I-CR configuration jumpers:

P2 – Forces 250 kbps mode (32C) on CAN A, otherwise speed autodetection is used. P3 – Forces 250 kbps mode (32C) on CAN B, otherwise speed autodetection is used. P4 – Activates Filter mode (bus-tie bridging). P5 – Forces alternate controller address 3 for bus-tie status reading (default controller address is 4). P10 – If “H” network configuration used (two I-CR units), it must be switched to RS-422 mode.

I-CR indication and diagnostic LEDs:

For more detailed information about I-CR, see the Application sheet “Extending the CAN bus” or IGS-NT-x.y-Installation guide.pdf.

Hint:

CAN bus has to be terminated at both ends. In the case of surge hazard (connection out of building in case of storm etc.) see the “Recommended CAN/RS485 connection” chapter of the IGS-NT-2.4-Installation guide.pdf.

This module is intended to provide CAN bus redundancy in applications where IG/IS-NT controllers are placed in several switchboards that need to be interconnected by the CAN bus communication line and where there is essential to keep the line working. As a side effect, the module also provides the CAN bus line extension. As the CAN bus provides data exchange needed for Load Sharing and VAr Sharing and also for

Power Management features, it’s redundancy can be very important in complex systems with more

engines, more mains incomers. The module is based on I-CB/CAT GAS HW. This HW needs to be bought and then it’s standard FW replaced with I-CR-R FW obtained from ComAp Download Center. Also, for the replacement of the FW, you will need the FlashProg utility which can be downloaded in Peripheral Modules Upgrade Package here: http://www.comap.cz/support/download-center/type/software/. Chapter related to I-CB reprogramming is to be used.

Hint: I-CR-R may be used as a redundancy module for a maximum of 20 controllers (counted all controllers on the CAN2 bus). For usage I-CR-R in an installation of more as 20 controllers please contact our technical support for another redundancy solution.

Typical case – several controllers, each one in separate switchboard:

Connection of I-LB or other bridging modules:

Note: If I-LB (or other bridging module) is to monitor all the site, it is recommended to place it at the position 1. If there is preferably monitored one group (within one switchboard) and the other controllers

not at all or only seldom, option 2 is more suitable. Remote connection to let’s say controller 7 is

possible in this case but data transfer will be quite slow.

I-CR-R module functions:

TxB TxA RxB RxA

I-CR-R module

RS485 line going to other I-CR-R modules

- Intercontroller CAN bus redundancy – basic description of terminology used: o Local CAN bus – a bus going from the module to the local controller(s) = within one

switchboard; name on the sticker CAN1 CONTROLLER; in standard installation (with no redundancy) this would be the intercontroller bus (CAN2)

o Primary intercontroller CAN bus – a bus interconnecting all I-CR-R modules and

providing 1 to 1 replacement of standard intercontroller CAN bus (CAN2); name on the sticker CAN EMS

o Backup intercontroller RS485 bus – secondary bus interconnecting all I-CR-R modules;

transmits only intercontroller communication (Load Sharing, VAr Sharing, Power Management), not the remote communication (I-LB, IG-IB connection to a PC monitoring tool)

- The module preferably uses the Primary CAN bus line for data transfer. However, if the

connection from any of the controllers connected to other I-CR-R modules is broken the module automatically re-routes it to the Backup RS485 line and continues in operation. From controllers’ point of view, no data transfer interruption is observed.

- It is possible to indicate the problem with Primary or Backup buses using “fake” SHBOUT6

message which is normally used for signal sharing among the controllers. See jumper description further in the text.

- Intercontroller CAN bus extension – each I-CR-R module provides also CAN bus extension in the

same way as I-CR module, i.e. creates segments of the bus where the length of the line is limited within the segment only, not within the whole system.

Note 1: The redundancy system only makes sense if the cables of Primary and Backup buses are placed physically into different cable routes! Placing them into the same cable route increases the risk of damage of both cables at once.

Note 2: For proper connection of RS485 line, connect the terminals TxA and RxA together and terminals TxB and RxB together. This should be done on each I-CR-R module and with short wire (see drawing).

I-CR-R configuration jumpers:

P3 – Forces 8C (50 kbps) mode on Primary intercontroller bus (name at the original sticker CAN EMS); if not active, 32C (250 kbps) mode is automatically used.

Note: All I-CR-R modules within the system must be switched to the same mode, otherwise the primary intercontroller CAN bus won’t work.

P4 – Enables transmission of SHBOUT6 message to local CAN bus; the message is intended to transmit indication and error flags from the module to the controllers to make the status of the module

visible to the customers. By sending this message, I-CR-R is “cheating” the controllers in it’s local

CAN bus because it is pretending to be one of the other controllers (from intercontroller bus) sending this message. Do not use the real source for SHBOUT6 message if this feature is enabled.

Contents of the SHBOUT6 message:

Note 1: Typically, configure a Warning-type protection on the lowest bit signal of this message. The

signal becomes active if part of controllers normally “visible” through the Primary or Backup bus is not

visible anymore; this means the cable was cut or shorted or otherwise damaged and doesn’t connect anymore some part or all the controllers.

Note 2: Because bit 1 activates with the difference between Primary and Backup buses it is able to indicate failures of both Primary and Backup buses, so even if Primary bus works fine, it is able to show the problem with Backup bus to allow the technician to repair it before it actually becomes a problem. Otherwise the problem with the Backup bus would stay hidden until Primary bus would have failed and then the intercontroller communication would stop working completely.

USB cable

Use standard USB A-B cable (distance up to 5 meters).

CAUTION!

Use shielded USB cable only! (ComAp order code: USB-LINK CABLE 1.8m)

! IMPORTANT !

To use USB connection it is necessary to install drivers on your PC. The drivers can be downloaded from the website http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm. Download the driver for your operating system and follow the enclosed instructions.

After successful installation of the driver and connection of the controller or I-LB+ to the PC the new Virtual Communications Port appears in ComAp PC tools and it is possible to open connection via USB.

Ethernet cable

It is recommended to use standard UTP or STP cable with connectors RJ 45. Maximal length of cable is 100 m. For direct connection between Controller and PC is necessary to use cross-wired cable (only in case that your PC does not have automatic recognizing of direct and cross-wired cable).

Recommended CAN/RS485 connection

CAN bus connection

The bus has to be terminated by 120 Ohm resistors at both ends. External units can be connected on the CAN bus line in any order, but keeping line arrangement (no tails, no star) is necessary.

Standard maximum bus length is 200m for 32C CAN BUS MODE and 900m for 8C CAN BUS MODE (setpoint in comms setings group) Shielded cable has to be used, shielding has to be connected to PE on one side (controller side).

CAN-Ethernet gateway

In some cases is necessary to use the optical isloation of RS485 line. Some modules has ebmaded optical isolation some needs aditional equipment to ensure the required separation. The need of galvanic separation depends on distance between the nodes and surrounding of transmittion line. See the table of recommended connection of RS485.

CAN-Ethernet gateway allows you to merge up to four CAN bus branches into one global CAN bus using Ethernet connection. For detailed information about this option see:

http://www.comap.cz/support/downloads/fail/AS10%20%20Ethernet%20based%20CAN%20extension%20r1.pdf

Hint:

For CAN bus extension is possible to use I-CR module. It allows extension of CAN to more segments with next 200m adition length. for more information read chapter I-CR Module for CAN bus extension.

RS485 connection

External units can be connected on the RS485 line in any order, but keeping line arrangement (no tails, no star) is necessary. Standard maximum line length is 1000m. Shielded cable has to be used, shielding has to be connected to PE on one side (controller side).

RS485 and CAN bus line has to be terminated by 120 ohm resistors on the both ends. Always check the number and placement of terminating resistors in the CAN bus line, only correct wiring ensures reliable operation! Resistors must be placed at either end of the line (see picture), and correct number of resistors must be used! Correct number can be checked using ohmmeter - when power supply for ALL devices on the CAN bus line is switched off, the resistance measured between A and B wire should be 60 Ohms. For longer distances is recommended to connect CAN COM terminals between all controllers and cable shielding to the ground in one point. External units can be connected on the CAN bus line in any order, but line arrangement (no tails no star) is necessary.

Termination Resistors:

Because each differential pair of wires is a transmission line, you must properly terminate the line to prevent reflections. A common method of terminating a two-wire multidrop RS-485 network is to install terminating resistors at each end of the multidrop network. If you daisy-chained multiple instruments together, you need a terminating resistor at only the first and last instruments. The terminating resistor should match the characteristic impedance of the transmission line (typically 100–120 Ohms).

Bias Resistors:

The transmission line into the RS-485 port enters an indeterminate state when it is not being transmitted to. This indeterminate state can cause the receivers to receive invalid data bits from the noise picked up on the cable. To prevent these data bits, you should force the transmission line into a known state. By installing two 620 Ohm bias resistors at one node on the transmission line, you can create a voltage divider that forces the voltage between the differential pair to be less than 200 milliVolts, the threshold for the receiver. You should install these resistors on only one node. The figure below shows a transmission line using bias resistors. Bias resistors are placed directly on the PCB of controller. Use jumpers PULL UP / PULL DOWN to connect the bias resistors.

Modem Recommendations

The controller has to be connected to modem via standard modem cable where the DSR (Data Send Ready) signal detects modem presence (ComAp order code AT-LINK CABL).

Hint:

It is recommended to use the same type of modem on the both sides (and PC) of connection. For GSM modem proper set-up use automatic ComAp GSM set-up software from the installation package. Setup software runs independently. In MS Windows select: Start - Program files – Comap – Tools – Gm_setup.exe

GSM modem wiring notes – IG/IS-NT

IG/IS-NT controllers provide a possibility to select whether a modem with active DSR signal (full modem cable connection - RXD, TXD, GND, RTS, CTS, DSR and DCD control signals available) or without this signal (3 wire connection – RxD, TxD and GND signals available) is connected.

In the controller the selection is done by Comms settings:RS232(1/2) mode setpoint. Select MODEM (HW) for full cable connection or MODEM (SW) for 3 wire connection.

Place I-LB jumper “HW/SW control” when MODEM (SW) connection is selected.

Hint:

Make sure all signals are connected and activated in modem when it is not possible to open connection. Some types of GSM module have jumpers select table control and handshaking signals.

TC35 Alphatech GSM modem: the first jumper from the left is closed.

GSM Modem setup

Prior to start work with GSM modem run following program for GSM proper setup. Program writes all the necessary AT commands to configure the GSM modem properly for use with IG-CU or IS-CU.

This program runs independent on other PC SW:

 Start MS Windows-Start-Program files – Comap – Tools – Gm_setup.exe.  Select COM port

 Tick when GSM will be used with old iG-MU unit  Press Setup button  Follow commands in GSM Modem Setup window

Hint:

Selection “Modem will be used with old version of IG-MU (below 1.8)” sets GSM modem Baud rate to 38400 bps !!!

It is strongly recommended to use the same type of modem at both sides (IG and PC) of connection. When modem TC35i does not respond for sending command SMSes, do the following:

1. Send AT+CPMS="MT","MT","MT" command via

hyperterminal or by means of RS232()MdmIni parameter.

2. Send AT+CPMS="SM","SM","SM" command via

hyperterminal or by means of RS232()MdmIni parameter.

3. Restart the modem.

Mobile Phone SIM Card Setting

Adjust SIM card on GSM modem in the following way:

 Enable data communication (it could be done by your local GSM operator),  Set phone number SMS service center SC (recommended in international format in case of

roaming),

 Set no PIN code required.

Hint:

All SMS on SIM card will be erased during GSM modem initialization. Valid SMS on SIM card will be served. Except of adjusting and gen-set control command. Both SIM cards must have DATA services enabled when communicating from controller to PC via two GSM modems. The GSM tariff should have CSD (Circuit Switch Data) service enabled.

How to check SIM card DATA setting

 Move SIM card from controller GSM modem to Mobile phone.  Call from InteliMonitor to this Mobile phone and check (on Mobil phone) DATA call

indication of incoming call.

 If phone does not indicate DATA - solve this with your GSM operator.

Converter settings

Setup of the converter is done via TELNET at port 9999 instead of standard port 21. The default IP address is 192.168.1.254.

To enter setup mode:

1. Connect the converter to LAN

2. Put command “telnet 192.168.1.254 9999” to the windows command line on any computer connected to the same LAN

Setup procedure:

1. Press “0” key to change server configuration (converter IP address, netmask, gateway address etc..)

2. Press “1” key to change device configuration (read/write community, SNMP manager address*..)

3. Press “9” key to save parameters to the memory and exit setup mode

*SNMP manager address is IP address of the device the TRAPs are addressed to.

* Second RS232/485 port available only in IG-NTC/EEC and IS-NT.

Hint:

The converter provides communication only with controllers (addresses) that are present on startup of the converter. It means any controller powered-up later than the converter is not recognized and supported. The converters are supposed to work with IG/IS-NT controllers of standard line (version 2.1 and higher), IC-NT and IL-NT controllers (standard branches).

Converter Modbus RTU  Profibus

GE Digital Energy - P485 Modbus to Profibus Converter

 For connection of 1-32 NT line controllers to a Profibus network  RS485 or RS232 physical layer for connection to the controller(s)  Full Profibus-DP slave functionality according IEC61158  244 bytes input data size (122 Modbus registers)  244 bytes output data size (122 Modbus registers)  416 bytes total  See deatils on the web page of the manufacturer:

http://www.gedigitalenergy.com/multilin/catalog/p485.htm

Converter settings

 Use EnerVista software to setup the converter. It can be downloaded from the web page

http://pm.geindustrial.com/download/download.asp?id=p485&file=1.

 To configure the converter in the Profibus network, download the description file

http://www.geindustrial.com/products/software/d485/P48509E5.zip and import it to the

Profibus configuration tool.

Follow instructions in the P485 manual while configuring the converter. The setup wizard incorporated in the Enervista software will make the setup process much easier, but finally some

manual corrections are needed. Below are some notes specific to the connection with ComAp controllers.

1. The physical layer for Modbus communication is select table. The selected type (RS232/RS485) and speed must be same in the P485 and controller, see Controller

settings.

2. Use RS485 in case more controllers are connected to the P485.

3. A Device mentioned in the wizard represents a controller type (IG-NT, IM-NT, IS-NT). Once a device is defined, more nodes of the same type (device) can be created easily.

4. A modbus network node represents a controller. The slave address must correspond to the Controller address setpoint of the related controller.

5. See Modbus Connection chapter in this document for details about Modbus, register numbers, sizes etc.

6. Use triggered update mode for writing objects (registers) to the controller. Never use cyclic update mode!

Setup example (using wizard):

1. Select wizard.

2. Select fieldbus type.

3. Select physical layer and communication parameters for Modbus.

4. Define IGS-NT Device, it’s Parameters and related Modbus registers.

5. Define nodes connected to the Modbus network.

6. For each node select parameters that have to be mapped to the Profibus network.

7. Save the configuration overview (the picture below is only a general example, not a real one).

8. The configuration using wizard is finished.

9. Save the configuration to a file.

10. Navigation window will appear:

11. For each write-type parameter modify the property Update mode to triggered mode and define trigger byte address. The Profibus master must update the parameter data field first and then increase the trigger byte value to write the parameter (register) to the controller.

12. Write the configuration to the P485 and save it also to disk as backup.

Controller settings

IG/IS-NT Comms settings: RS232(1) mode / RS232(2) mode* = MODBUS-DIRECT Comms settings: RS232(1)MBCSpd / RS232(2)MBCSpd* = according to converter setting Comms settings: RS485(1)conv. / RS485(2)conv.* = according the converter setting

* Second RS232/485 port available only in IG-NTC/EEC and IS-NT.
