4 Setting Up the MJ-XL Control Panel
Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution, Inc. 31
Note 3, Collecting MJ-X Data with a (Cooper) Data Reader
[Using the DRIP].)
To set the Communications unit address, view Comm
Addr under the <COMMUNICATIONS> Menu. Enter the
desired address.
The “Comm Addr” screen shows the communications
address for the MJ-X
L
unit. For the Data Port, the usable
address ranges are listed in Table 4.8 below. Note that the
MJ-X
L
is device type “1”, and its group address is 254.
4.7.2 Using the Communications Module
The MJ-X
L
Communications Module provides remote
communications capability for the MJ-X
L
Control Panel.
The Communications Module is a plug-in option offering
choices of communications protocols and physical inter-
faces. Since the MJ-X
L
Communications Module Installa-
tion Manual describes the configuration items in detail,
they are listed only for reference in Table 4.9
Note: Default values shown in bold type.
Note: If both the Data Port and the Communications
Module are simultaneously set up for remote
communications, then the Data Port restric-
tions on the value of the “Comm Addr” data
item must apply.
* See Comm Module Instruction Manual for limitations
on 19,200 baud.
