The Communicationsmenu lets you set up the following communications:
•
RS-485
communicationsfor daisy-chain communication ofthe circuit

•
RS-232
communicationsfor point-to-point communication between the
the circuitmonitor and a host device, such as a PC or modem.
•
Infrared Port
communicationsbetween the circuit monitor and a laptop
computer (availabl e only on the VFDdisplay).
•
Ethernet Options
for Ethernetcommunications between the circuit
monitor and yourEthernet network when an Ethernet Communications
Card (ECC)ispresent.
Each of these optionsis described in the sections that follow.
Each POWERLOGICdevice on a communications link musthave a unique
deviceaddress. The term communications linkrefers to 1–32 POWERLOGIC
compatibledevices daisy-chained to a single communications port. If the
communicationslink has only a single device, assign it address 1. By
