1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Manual Overview

The MP8000 Software manual describes the features and abilities of the MP8000 software. The MP8000
software program is designed to interact with the MP8000 Motor Relay product. The software allows a user to
see real time values, change configuration settings, and view device fault logs and information. In addition, this
manual includes a troubleshooting section for dealing with possible issues that could arise when dealing with
the software.

1.2 System Requirements

In order to run and use the MP8000 Software program, the following system requirements must be met in
order to assure proper functionality of the software.

OPERATING SYSTEM

.NET FRAMEWORK

CPU

RAM

ETHERNET

NOTE: This software can be run without administrative privileges. HOWEVER, this program

communicates with MP8000 devices over TCP/IP. More specifically, the software listens
for MP8000 broadcast packets on UDP port 17186, and connects to and reads data from
an MP8000 over Modbus. As such, the program must be allowed through the firewall settings on
the computer it is running on to insure proper functionality. Allowing a program through a firewall
may require administrator permissions.

Microsoft Windows 7 or later (32 or 64 bit)

.NET Framework version 4.5 or greater

Intel Core i5 or better recommended

4GB or greater

Ethernet port or compatible USB-to-Ethernet adapter
