device manual AS-i DP-Gateway
After the voltage has been applied to both power supplies the AS-i DP -Gateway, the AS-i master and
AS-i cable are supplied with power. The green LED
'PWR/COM‘
flashes if only the AS-i power supply
and no slaves are connected to the system.
Now slaves are to be addressed. One method to do this is by means of the buttons and the
text/graphic display on the AS-i DP -Gateway. Choose the controller menu using the left button
('Menu') and select '
Slaves adr.‘
using
the
button. Confirm this choice using the left button ('OK‘)
and then choose
‚Easy Startup‘.
The AS-i slave
address is non-volatilely stored in every slave. To allow the AS-i master to individually
communicate with each slave the slave must have a unique address in the system.The manufacturer
delivers each AS-i slave with the address 0. When the AS-i DP -Gateway runs in the Easy Startup
Mode, slaves are addressed automatically in increasing order.
Choose the desired master and confirm with
'OK‘
. The AS-i DP -Gateway assigns the lowest free
address to the next slave which is connected and has the address 0.
Try this by connecting a new slave. The LED
‘PWR/COM‘
stops flashing since at least one slave has
been detected correctly. The red lighting LED
'CONF/PF’
is still correct at this stage of system set-up.
It indicates that the new slave has not been projected in the master yet. The text/graphic display of the
AS-i DP -Gateway gives information as to the slave addresses which have already been assigned as
well as the status of the system set-up.
This automatic procedure can only function if each newly connected slave has the address 0! If the
slaves have already been used in another system they probably have an address which is not 0. In
this case the AS-i DP -Gateway does not react as expected. Remove the slave from the system and
readdress it to 0 using one of the methods discussed below.
Terminate the addressing procedure by pressing the
'ESC‘
button several times until the main menu
is active and choose
‘QuickSetup‘
.
The next option in QuickSetup is '
Config all‘
. Choose the desired master to which the slave is to be
connected and confirm this choice. The red LED '
CONF/PF‘
and the orange LED '
PROJ‘
should now
go out. The system configuration is now complete.
If incorrectly addressed slaves remain, they can be addressed as follows: Remove all slaves except
that slave which is to be readdressed.
