MAN-AGY-016. Version 01 (29/05/2019)
Network Connection
For a configuration where there is only one VMX-agility
TM
unit (one-to-one), the remote and main unit can be
directly cabled. See Diagram below:
Connection and Operation
The remote keypad (VMX-AGY-012) can be used to control, monitor
and program up to 32 VMX-agility
TM
soft starters.
The unit is powered from the host VMX-agility
TM
and requires an
Ethernet cable for communication (Modbus RTU).
As the remote keypad acts as the Modbus master, no additional
master units must be placed within the network. Failure to observe
this may lead to erratic behaviour, network failure and/or equipment
damage.
Keypad power must be enabled
on the VMX-agility
TM
starter (see below)
Enabling Keypad Power:
Scroll to DEVICE menu → KEYPAD menu → KEYPAD PWR = ON
