Description
One teamwork network supports a maximum of 32 units. On the Teamwork Settings screen of the display modules of the first and last units, set Enable teamwork CAN resistor to Yes.
It takes 3 x n seconds to collect data from n units. If the time required for the host to collect data from all units does not meet the performance requirements, group the units.
- If units are not grouped (n = 1), set RS485 monitoring grouping to Enable on the Modbus Settings screen for each unit.
- If units are grouped (n > 1; recommended: n ≤ 4), set RS485 monitoring grouping to Enable on the Modbus Settings screen for the unit with the COM/FE port connected. Retain the default setting (Disable) for other units.
- Connect the COM/FE port on the main control module of the last unit in each group to the RS485 port on the host.
- Customers can purchase the NetEco (an ECC is required) or a third-party NMS as the monitoring system.
