Following points and information shall be considered:
➔ Various standard cables (see Table 3) are available to simplify the installation of a fieldbus array
as illustrated in Figure 30.
➔ Testing has been done with arrangements of 8 pump systems. Higher number is possible but it
is recommended to contact Levitronix
®
Technical Service department (see Section 8) for details
and support.
➔ Address setting of the pump units can be done with the Levitronix
®
Service Software and a PC.
A USB/RS485 converter cable with integrated initialization network can be ordered according to
Table 3.
➔ The fieldbus array must be terminated as illustrated in Figure 30. A dedicated connector with
integrated termination resistor (see Table 3) is available.
➔ The RS485 protocol for master communication is available at Levitronix
®
on request.
➔ Do not use multiple master systems at the same time and do not use closed ring arrangements.
4.2.7 Installation of Fieldbus for Serial Pumping
Serial pumping setup with up to 3 pumps can be done as shown in Figure 6. Same instructions can be
followed as mentioned in Section 4.2.6. A dedicated firmware for operating the array with one unit (including
redundancy behavior) is available on request.
