Define an address range
Please remark, resetting modules may be necessary as part
of an initial installation - reusing modules for another
BACS installation is possible. In that case, the existing
modules may still have arbitrary ID's from older
installations. On initalisation, all modules need the ID 0.
First define the module ID range you want to reset. You are
free to choose a complete range from 0 - 600 or - if
wanted - limit ther range: 250 - 450.
Check "Reset" and press the Start button to begin. The
BACS Webmanager will reset all modules and set them to ID
0. The modules will visually display this process by
slowly flashing red.
Note
In some cases, the modules may not have been reset by the BACS Web Manager, as an example, if a cable is damaged or individual
modules are not properly accessed due to external interferences. You can manually reset these modules by holding down the button on
the module itself for about 20 seconds.
Set up all modules
When configuring the BACS modules, please note that one BACS module must have ID 1, otherwise
the entire BACS communication will not start after configuration. At Start, enter the first ID number
you want to assign. With End, enter the last ID number you want to assign. Pressing Start will start
the configuration process:
You will notice that all modules will begin to flash fast. The fast red blink indicates that the modules
are in addressing mode and ready to confirm the ID number.
Start addressing by pressing the programmer button at the BACS module. The module LED will change the color and blinking frequency
into a slowly blinking green state. With each module button press, the BACS Webmanager will count up until all numbers are set and
the Webmanager shows the message: "succeeded"
Assigning address ID’s can be stopped, if…
1. The number of ID’s previously entered are confirmed
2. you press theh Stop button.
The BACS module programmer button
You assign the IDs by pressing the button on the BACS modules. The module will acknowledge receipt of
the ID by flashing from fast red into a slowly green. At the same time, the process bar in the web interface
of the BACS Web Manager will count up one ID. Please ensure not pressing the LED - this is not the
button! You will find the button on the other side of the BACS bus data cable connectors.
Audible confirmation
On request, an acoustic confirmation can be set when assigning the BACS Module
ID. By doing so, the BACS webmanager will generate an additional audio signal
from every button operation..
Define different address ranges
In larger installations with a huge number of modules, addressing modules is still mandatory. To increase clarity, it may be
recommended to assign ID's to the BACS modules step by step For this reason, you can address different address areas one after the
other.
Just divide the BACS modules into individual address ranges:
Addressing sequence 1: Address range 1-50, Start-ID: 1 / Final ID 50
Addressing sequence 2: Address range 51 – 100, Start-ID: 51 / Final ID 100
Adressierungsdurchgang 3: Address range 101 – 150, Start-ID 101 / Final ID 150
Use the module addressing dialog Start and End to define a unique address range.
