Operation

Changing ICAP Settings

ICAP enables you to change certain settings to accommodate your specific configuration. This is done by using the ICA COMMANDS and COMMUNICATION commands on the ICAP Menu Bar. Use the ICA Commands to change configuration parameters for the ICA adapter. Use the Communications Commands to control how the ICA communicates with the inverter.

General settings include:

Identifying a single (default) or multiple configuration. The unit defaults to a one-inverter configuration. No additional setting changes should need to be made for single-inverter systems.

Assigning the ID numbers for multiple ICAs

Assigning customer numbers (optional)

Advanced Settings include:

Changing configuration settings

Changing port assignments

Assigning a specific serial number.

Important: Advanced Settings should only be changed as directed by Customer Service or Technical Support personnel.

Once the program has started, it looks for an ICA programmed with an ID number of “1”. This is the default ID number of all adapters.

If two adapters are connected to a PC with the same ID number, you will not be able to communicate correctly with either until the adapters have different ID numbers. It is, therefore, necessary to assign different ID Numbers to each ICA when using more than one.
