Operation of the Delux Controller System (DLUX303)
The incubators can be purchased with upgraded controllers. The controllers have
additional features of RS485 communications, analog outputs, and ramp & soak.
RS485 Communications:
The RS485 communications signals can be daisy chained from product to product and
connected to a PC. Each controller on the network must be programmed with a unique
address. Factory defaults for the controllers are addresses 1 for temperature, 2 for
humidity, and 3 for CO2. If multiple incubators are being connected, each controller will
have to be assigned a unique address. As an example, a second incubator would need
to be assigned address 4 for temperature, 5 for humidity, and 6 for CO2. To assign new
addresses to controllers, the controllers must be unlocked. Refer to Section 13,
Unlocking the Controllers.
Once the controllers are unlocked on each controller, follow these steps to set a unique
address for each controller:
1) Press and hold the up and down key simultaneously for six seconds.
2) The upper display will read Ai and the lower will read SEt
3) Press the up key until the upper display reads CoM
4) Press the advance key until PCoL appears
5) Set the protocol to either Modbus (Mod) or Standard Bus (Std)
6) Press the advance key until Ad.M (Modbus) or Ad.S (Standard) appears
7) Press up/down to increase/decrease the address number
8) *Press the advance key until bAUd appears
9) *Press the up/down arrow keys to set the baud rate (38.4K is default)
10) *Press the advance key until Par appears
11)
*Press the up/down arrow keys to set the Parity (‘none’ is default)
12) *Press the advance key until M.hL appears
13)
*Press the up/down arrow keys to set the Word Order (‘Lohi’ is default)
14) Press infinity to exit to the main menu
*When using ModBus, other parameters such as Baud Rate, Parity, and Word Order
must be set. Standard Bus only requires a unique address be set.
Once all addresses are entered refer to Section 13 to relock the controllers.
