4.6 Master and Slave Panels
With the iControl3 panel it is possible to operate up to four panels on one iGenerator (one master panel and three
slave panels).
On the master panel the terminating resistor for the CAN bus must be switched on. The terminating resistor of the
slave panel must be switched off. To do this there is a double DIP switch on the backside of the iControl3 panel. See
“Function of the double DIP Switch” on page 29.
In an iControl system with master and slave panels, the master panel must always be the last panel in the row so
that the terminating resistor is at the end of the CAN bus. Slave panels must be connected between the iControl3
controller and the master panel. See “Master/Slave panel configuration” on page 34.
Note! iControl2 systemWhen operating an iControl3 panel as a replacement
panel in an iControl2 system, the network address must
be considered:
All iControl panels have the default network address "1". This
address can be changed in the set up menu. Possible
addresses are 1, 2, 3 and 4. Each panel must have its own
address. See “Setting the network ID” on page 18.
Note! Autostart functionThe automatic start function can be activated/deactivated on
each panel in the bus. See “Activating/deactivating the
autostart function (»Autostart«)” on page 21. The
automatic start contact may only be connected to one panel
in the bus. See “Autostart mode” on page 13.
