6.2.7 Connect the control unit to the sensors
Note: the maximum length of the CAN bus line from the control unit to the last sensor in the chain is 30 m (98.4 ft).
Note: when replacing a sensor, in the Inxpect Safety application, click APPLY CHANGES to confirm the change.
1. Decide if the control unit will be positioned at the end of the chain or inside it (see "Chain examples" on the
next page).
2. Set the DIP switch of the control unit based on its position in the chain.
3. Connect the desired sensor directly to the control unit.
4. To connect another sensor, connect it to the last sensor in the chain or directly to the control unit to start a
second chain.
5. Repeat step 4 for all the sensors to be installed.
6. Insert the bus terminator (product code: 07000003), into the free connector of the last sensor of the chain
(s).
6.2.8 Assign the Node IDs
Type of assignment
Three types of assignment are possible:
l Manual: to assign the Node ID to a sensor at a time. Can be performed with all the sensors already
connected or after each connection. Useful for adding a sensor or to change Node ID to a sensor.
l Automatic: to assign the Node IDs to all sensors at once. To be performed when all the sensors are
connected.
l Semi-automatic: wizard for connecting the sensors and assign the Node ID one sensor at a time.
Procedure
1. Start the application.
2. Click User > Configuration and verify that the number of sensors in the configuration is the same of the
sensors installed.
3. Click Settings > Node IDAssignment.
4. Proceed according to the type of assignment:
If the assignment is... Then...
manual 1. Click DISCOVERCONNECTEDSENSORS to display the connected
sensors.
2. To assign a Node ID, click Assign for the unassigned Node ID in the
Configured sensors list.
3. To change a Node ID, click Change for the already assigned Node ID
in the Configured sensors list.
4. Select the SIDof the sensor and confirm.
automatic 1. Click DISCOVERCONNECTEDSENSORS to display the connected
sensors.
2. Click ASSIGN NODE IDS > Automatic.
semi-automatic Click ASSIGN NODE IDS > Semi-automatic and follow the instructions
displayed.
5. Click Settings > General > SENSOR FW UPGRADE to update the sensors to the firmware version
compatible with LBK System Series.
