EST3 System Operation Manual 1.17
Entering logical addresses
Each addressable device or circuit in the system has a logical
address. This includes panels, local rail modules, and devices.
Depending on the operation you are performing, you will be
prompted to enter a logical address in one of several formats.
Tip: Get an SDU Objects report for your system and keep it with
this documentation. The SDU Objects report lists all of the
addressable devices or circuits in the system and shows their
logical addresses.
Panels
The logical address format for a panel is PP, where PP is the
cabinet number (01 to 64). For example, enter 01 for the panel
designated as Cabinet 1.
(System-wide events that are not related to a particular cabinet
use panel number 00.)
To determine a cabinet's panel number, use the Command
Menus to request a Status report. Choose any type of list. The
system displays the cabinet's panel number as the default panel
number. Once you’ve noted the panel number, press the
Backspace key to exit from the function.
Local rail modules
Local rail modules include the rail modules that connect to the
local rail bus and the control/display modules. The logical
address format for a local rail module is PPCC, where:
• PP is the cabinet number of the panel containing the rail
module
• CC is the address of the rail module
• CC+32 is the address of the control/display module
connected to the rail module at slot address CC
For example, enter 0102 for the rail module installed in chassis
rail 1, slot 4 of Cabinet 1. Enter 0134 for the control/display
module connected to the rail module installed in chassis rail 1,
slot 4 of Cabinet 1.
Note: The rail-slot number and the slot address are not the same.
Slot addresses vary with the cabinet configuration. Refer to
Appendix A: System addresses.
Devices
Devices include the circuits, buttons, or LEDs that exist on the
local rail module and all addressable devices connected by the
