5.7 diamond - Control Interface Settings
This topic describes the "Control Interface" parameters that are used to configure the IP connection between the surface
and Power Core.
The correct settings for your system will depend on the number of diamond frames that make up the surface and how you
wish to connect them. All possible options are described here.
To check or edit the settings, open a Web UI connection to each device, log in as either Supervisor or Administrator, and
look for the "Control Interface" parameters (in the "System
→
Control" tab). It is important to check both sides of the
connection, so open a separate browser window for each diamond frame and Power Core.
If you make a change to the "Control Interface" settings, then you must reboot the device(s).
On Power Core...
On the Power Core side, there are four parameters:
Mode
,
Target IP Address
,
Target port number
and
Interface
.
Mode
- sets the communication mode for the surface connection. There are three possible options: CAN+IP, CAN or IP.
The default setting is CAN+IP. In this mode, Power Core can communicate with locally connected CAN bus panels (via
its CAN port) and with diamond (via Ethernet).
Choose CAN if there is no Ethernet connection to a diamond or IP radio panel.
Choose IP if there is no local CAN port connection to a CAN bus panel.
Target IP Address
(Uni/Multicast) - sets the IP address for the surface connection.
To use Multicast, the
Target IP Addresses
in Power Core and diamond must be identical. So, enter a suitable IP address
group here and then copy it to diamond. The default setting is 239.1.1.240
To use Unicast, you must enter the reciprocal IP address. So, enter the diamond control port IP address here.
Target Port Number
- sets the port number for the surface connection. The default is 6040.
Interface
- selects the network interface for the surface connection.
The default is dwc0.
To use a different interface, choose an option from the drop-down menu: dwc0, dwc1, ra0, ra1, ra2 or ra3.
