Connection - Host Unit to Control RS485
Communication to the GaliNet (Gali leo) Controller and the Host is by a proprietary RS485 seri al format.
The RJ11 communication cable is connected between the GaliNet and the Host.
The Jumpers LK2 and LK1 must in the UP position linking the center and top pins.
The GaliNet controller needs to have the same input/output cards types that will be defined on
the Host

Settings for the Input and Output cards on the GaliNet Controller (Galileo)
The host will function with the GaliNet - Galileo controller like a virtual expansion box.
The Virtual expansion box will have the input and outputs card that will be used to control the RadioNet
RTU outputs or/and inputs.
The card types that can be defined on the GaliNet – Galileo controller are:
8/16 In/Out : 8 Digital inputs and 16 Outputs.
24 Out: 24 Outputs.
Define on the GaliNet – Galileo controller the cards that will be necessary for the number of
Inputs and Outputs that will be used for the remote outputs and inputs.
Notes:
The Communication Status will be “O.K.” after the settings on the Host are complete.
The card setting with the GaliNet 16 or 32 will be different than the GaliNet W.
The first card will be “Midi” and the second card will be the first card of the Virtual expansion box, in this
case card #2 will be 8 In 16 Out and the card #3 will be 24 Outputs.
