INSTALLATION
6.1
User Interface and LED Buttons
pCOWeb (Figure 4) features a button (PUSHBUTTON) and
two indicator LEDs (STATUS LED and ETHERNET LED)
Functions of the button
When starting up the pCOWeb, the push button is used to select the network communication type - either factory parameters
or user parameters. In the case of the EC-FAN GATEWAY the parameters have already been pre-programmed for the
customer. There is no requirement for the customer to select network communication.
6.2
Push button & LEDs
When the Ethernet LED is in a solid green state, this indicates successful
connectivity
between the PC and the EC-FAN
GATEWAY. When the status LED is green, this indicateds successul
communication
between PC (pCOWeb software) and
the EC-FAN GATEWAY.
Immediately after reboot, as soon as the Status LED remains on steady GREEN, hold the button; after around 20 seconds
the Status LED will turn RED and flash slowly 3 times. The button must be released before the end of the 3 flashes. This
process has to be done only once at the point of programming the device.
In normal operation, the push button reboots pCOWeb without needing to disconnect the power supply.
The customer is
not recommended to reboot the system via the push button as this is done by the pCOWeb webpage that is to be
set up in Section 7.5.
6.3
Connection
Connect pCOWeb to the Ethernet connector on the PC using a crossover cable (Figure 4). Please note that the crossover
cable is
not
part of the scope of delivery.
6.4
Adressing fans
•
Before the set up of the EC-FAN GATEWAY the number of active ebm-papst fans that are to be connected to the
ECFAN GATEWAY will have to be pre-programmed via EC-Control. EC-Control is to be used to assign
addresses
for the
respective fans.
•
The EC-FAN GATEWAY
will not
automatically assign addresses to the fans that are required on its network.
•
ebm-papst recommends that the first fan be programmed at address 2 and the following fans thereafter to be programmed
at “n+1”.This is to avoid any confusion when a new fan unit is to be added to an existing network. Ebmpapst fans are by factory
default addressed 1.
•
Ensure that the fans are
no
t connected to the EC-FAN GATEWAY before the device has been appropriately
programmed. Power down the fans. Attach the communication cables to point 2 as per Figure 3 and power up the fans.
