Ethernet Communication
Communication with the DGC-2020 can be made through an optional LSM-2020 (Load Share Module). In
order to use the Ethernet capabilities of the LSM-2020, the network settings in the LSM-2020 must first be
configured. LSM-2020 network settings can be configured through Device Discovery in BESTCOMSPlus,
through the front panel of the DGC-2020, or through the DGC-2020 and sent to the LSM-2020 over the
CANBus interface. The following procedures can be used to configure LSM-2020 network settings and
connect to the DGC-2020 through Ethernet via an LSM-2020.
Configure LSM-2020 Network Settings through Device Discovery in BESTCOMSPlus
1. Navigate to the Settings, System Params, Remote Module Setup, LSM Setup screen on the front
panel HMI and verify that the LSM-2020 is enabled with the correct CANBus address so that the
DGC-2020 and LSM-2020 are properly linked together. If a USB connection to the DGC-2020 is
active, the LSM-2020 enable setting and CANBus address can be found by using the Settings
Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus to open the System Parameters, Remote Module Setup tree branch.
The DGC-2020 will annunciate a pre-alarm if the LSM-2020 is not connected properly when it is
enabled. If the connection is valid, the network settings of the LSM-2020 can be configured through
the front panel of the DGC-2020.
2. In BESTCOMSPlus, click the Communication drop-down menu and select New Connection, Load
Share Module. The Load Share Module Connection screen appears. See Figure 4-8.
