How the Automatic Management Function Works
This setting is configured on
PDU
(on page 102).
After enabling the automatic management function:
When the total number of managed sensors and actuators has not reached the upper limit yet, Legrand PDU
automatically brings newly-connected environmental sensors and actuators under management after
detecting them.
Legrand PDU can manage up to 32 sensors/actuators.
After disabling the automatic management function:
Legrand PDU no longer automatically manages any newly-added environmental sensors and actuators, and
therefore neither ID numbers are assigned nor sensor readings or states are available for newly-added ones.
You must manually manage new sensors/actuators. See
Peripherals
(on page 130).
Managing One Sensor or Actuator
If you are managing only one sensor or actuator, you can assign the desired ID number to it. Note that you
cannot assign ID numbers when managing multiple sensors/actuators at a time.
Tip: When the total of managed sensors/actuators reaches the maximum value (32), you cannot manage
additional ones. The only way to manage any sensor/actuator is to release or replace the managed ones. To
replace a managed one, assign an ID number to it by following the procedure below. To release any one,
see
Peripherals
(on page 130).
To manage only one sensor/actuator:
1. From the list of "unmanaged" sensors/actuators, click the one you want to manage.
2. The Manage Peripheral Device dialog appears.
To let Legrand PDU randomly assign an ID number to it, select "Automatically assign a sensor
number."
This method does not release any managed sensor or actuator.
To assign a desired ID number, select "Manually select a sensor number." Then click
to select
an ID number.
This method may release a managed sensor/actuator if the number you selected has been assigned
to a specific sensor/actuator.
Tip: The information in parentheses following each ID number indicates whether the number has been
assigned to a sensor or actuator. If it has been assigned to a sensor or actuator, it shows the sensor
package's serial number. Otherwise, it shows the word "unused."
3. Click
Manage.
