NOTE: The HOST switch MUST be off to communicate with the N Control Module in a Single Controller System using the RS-485

Interface.

Modular LYNX System

When using the RS-485 interface in a Multiple Control- ler System, the Host PC as well as all of the control modules communicate on the RS-485 interface. In this case, there is no Host Interface Control Module, so all control modules in the system should have their Host switch OFF or HOST flag set to False (0). The Host PC will be equipped with an RS-485 board or RS- 232 to 485 converter.

In systems with multiple controllers it is necessary to communicate with the control modules using PARTY Mode of operation. The LYNX

Table 5.5: Party Mode Address Configuration Switch Settings

Control modules in the system are configured for this mode of operation by setting the Party Switch (configuration switch #3, labeled PT) to the ON position or setting the PARTY Flag to True (1), in software. It is necessary for all of the controllers in a system to have this configuration selected. When operating in PARTY Mode each control module in the system will need a unique address, or name, to identify it in the system. This can be done using configuration switches A0-A2, or by using the software command SET DN. For example, to set the name of a controller to “A” you would use the following command: SET DN = “A”. The factory default name is “!”. To set the address of the controller using the configuration switches use the above table.

In setting up your system for PARTY operation the most practical approach would be to observe the following steps:

1.Connect the Host Control Module to the Host PC configured for Single Mode Operation.

2.Establish communications with the HOST Control Module. Using the Command: SET DN or the configuration switches, give the controller a unique name. If using the software command this can be any upper or lower case ASCII character or number 0-9. Save the name using the command SAVE.

3.Set the appropriate HOST and PARTY configuration in accordance with the following table and diagram. Remove power.

4.Connect the next control module in the system in accordance with the following table and diagram, setting the PARTY switch in the ON position. If you desire you can set the PARTY Flag to “1” in software later and turn the switch off.

5.Establish communications with this module using the factory default name “!”. This name cannot be reused. Rename and save the new name. Remove power.

6.Repeat the last two steps for each additional control module in the system.
