Using an X75-RCP for Remote Operation
Follow these steps to select and control a detected X75 over the network:
1. Ensure all connections and network settings have been made.
2. On the X75-RCP, press the Remote button to bring up a list of available units for
control. See Figure 10.
Figure 10. List of Systems Available for Remote Control
The <local device> option represents the unit you are using (the local unit that is in
front of you), and is always available on this list. An asterisks (*) beside an IP
address indicates that this is the remote system currently being controlled by the
panel.
3. Use the control knob to scroll through the list of available X75 devices, highlight
the unit you wish to control, and then press Enter.
The X75-RCP screen reads “Connecting...”.
4. Wait a few moments, and the menu of the selected X75 unit appears along with all
of that unit’s settings.
5. Operate the selected unit as required.
Once a unit is selected for remote control, all front panel features operate as if you
were actually at the front panel of the selected remote unit. This means that the VFD
panel, status indicators, and buttons (with the exception of the Remote and Option
button) all control and/or reflect the status of the remote unit, NOT the one you are
physically operating.
6. To switch to another unit, or to control the local device you are physically operating,
click Remote, and then select a new device to control. Select <local device> to
resume normal single-unit operation.
Using a Frame-Mounted Local Control Panel for Remote Operation
After ensuring that all connections and network settings have been made, you can also
remotely control X75 units that are on the network using a frame-mounted local control
panel (LCP). To do this, click Remote on the LCP to enter Remote mode, and to view
the list of X75 units available for control on the same subnet. The procedure remains the
same for selecting and operating devices remotely via LCP as for the X75-RCP.
See “Using an X75-RCP for Remote Operation” on page 14 for details.
Note
If the network settings are not
configured properly (either on
the RCP or individual X75
units), X75 units may not be
detected. Confirm all network
settings, if required.

The light on the Remote button
flashes while the unit is
remotely controlling a device.
