8.4.4 Disconnect unit from the Master/Slave system
To remove a unit from the Master/Slave system, thus reducing the number
of units available in the system, use the “Disconnect unit” function on
screen Ed06. This can be done on any of the humidifi ers in the system.
Note: once the unit has been disconnected, this will no longer be
visible in the Master/Slave system, as its IP address will be removed from
the list. If a unit is disconnected erroneously, the system can be restored
on screen Ed01 (entering its IP). This must be done from the display on a
unit that is already connected to the system.
8.4.5 Display Master/Slave system
To display a summary of the Master/Slave system , go to screen Ed08. In
screen Ed07 (E. Settings – d. Network), press the DOWN button to go to
menu Ed08.
Menu Ed08 has fi ve pages in total that display all the units (01, 02, …, 20),
the status of each unit and the current production as a percentage. The
following table explains the Master/Slave network unit status indications:
Symbol Unit status in the Master/Slave system
Indicates the current unit being displayed (PGD or web server)
The unit is: online
The unit is: offl ine
Unit not confi gured and not included in the Master/Slave system
The units in the Master/Slave system can also be selected one by one,
displaying maximum production, unit status, operating hours, current
production request and any alarms.
To enter this display, from screen Ed08, select the desired unit and press
thus accessing screen Ed09. Scroll using the UP/DOWN buttons to
display the details of all the units.
8.4.6 Software backup function in the Master/Slave
system
Master/Slave mode can also be used to manage the software backup
function; if one or more units in the Master/Slave system is aff ected by
malfunction, the system automatically restores steam production by
activating the backup units. The lost production in relation to the steam
request is thus compensated by increasing production on the individual
units (where possible) and/or starting any units in standby.
Even if not strictly necessary, to ensure the backup function, the external
control signal must be sent to all the units in the Master/Slave system; if
using probes on the other hand, each unit must be fi tted with a probe.
Only in this way can complete operation be guaranteed in the event of
malfunctions.
Note: if a unit goes offl ine due to a malfunction or shutdown, it will
temporarily be excluded from the system, and when next restarted it may
take 15 seconds or more to automatically come online again.
8.4.7 Advanced backup functions (software) for
maintenance
During maintenance or cleaning on a unit in the Master/Slave system, the
backup function can be disabled for maintenance. This allows production
to start on a unit in standby, set as backup, before switching off the
humidifi er in question for maintenance. In this way, service continuity can
be guaranteed in applications where required humidity control is very
precise and continuous over time.
To activate backup for maintenance, proceed as follows:
5. Enter the menu with screen index Ed07 (Network)
6. Press the DOWN button to display the list of units (Ed08)
7. Scroll to the unit on which maintenance is required (Unit 1, Unit 2, …)
and press
to confi rm (screen Ed09).
8. Press to access screen Ed10 and set the “Request switch unit off ” =
YES. Wait for the display to show the message: “The unit can now be
switched off for maintenance” and then switch the unit off .
Once maintenance has been completed, simply switch the humidifi er on
again, and the will automatically come back online.
Note: to activate the advanced software backup functions for
maintenance, the backup unit must be connected to the probes or
external signal.
