Manual – ECC-DFC field bus controller
which you would like to connect
Node No. This is where you enter a range of nodes in which a connection is
to be established. If entries are made in these fields, an update automatical-
ly takes place. If you click “Refresh”, all of the other fields (3, 4 and 5) are
also updated.
Upstream Zone/Downstream Zone – This selection allows you to change the

INFORMATION
Note that some information in your system may differ from the details described
here, and that the majority of fields are empty until communication is started.
8.4. Establishing a connection with the ECC-DFC fieldbus controller
As soon as the correct subnetwork has been entered in the network IP fields [1],
you can enter a series of nodes [2] that you would like to connect. The “Refresh”
button is activated.
Click “Refresh” and the data fields of the other main window will be initialized.
8.4.1. Node navigation
The node that is entered in the first field is the module whose data is
displayed in the other main window.
The node that is entered in the second field does not have to be the
“final” node of the network. If a value is entered that is larger than
the number of existing nodes, an error message is displayed after
you click “Refresh”.
