3.4 Easy connect
You can use Easy connect in your energy management system if the application consists of only genset or energy storage system
(ESS) controllers. Easy connect is a fast and easy way to add more controllers to a new or existing application. Easy connect
commands normally come from the display, but they can also be sent from M-Logic and Modbus.
More information
See Easy connect in the ASC 150 Storage Designer's handbook for how to activate and use Easy connect.
