System Settings
SCB2000 and inverter network, through the installation of Pormate monitoring
software on the computer side of the SCB2000 monitoring and configuration.
ProMate is a kind of software that can configure EzLoggerPro, SCB2000 etc. It
can modify the network lP address of EzLoggerPro and SCB2000, configure the
number of connected inverters, time setting,RCR, DRED function, configuration
and on-site debugging. First, the user need to install ProMate in the computer
by downloading ProMate from lnternet ProMate1.0.7.1PLC.rar Please access to
the website to download the program and compet the installation. lf the user
needs to use ProMate software to configure SCB2000, it needs to be set in
dynamic IP(DHCP) or static IP according to the network connection mode. lf the
user is in the dynamic IP mode, he/she only needs to connect the SCB2000 NET
port to the Router LAN port with the network cable to connect to the network,
namely plug and play. lf the user has a static IP, it is necessary to switch
SCB2000 to the static IP mode. That is, press the Reload key for about 10
seconds to reset and restart SCB2000,About 10 seconds after pressing the
Reload button, the LED lights on the SCB2000 internal EzLogger Pro Panel will
blink from rightto left and reset and restart.After restart, SCB2000 will be
switched to static IP mode(default lP:192.168.1.200. Then use cables to
connect SCB2000 NET port lf the optional fiber version is connected to the
SCB2000 TP1 or TP2 port to the Ethernet port of the computer.at the same time,
the lP address of the computer needs to be modified.
The IP address and the default gateway should be set at 192.168.1.xxx segment(1≤XXX≤250 and XXX ≠200).For example, the lP address can be set as 192.168.1.100 and the default gateway as 192.168.1.254.
When the configuration is complete,unplug the network cable to the Ethernet port of the computer and plug it into the router.At the same time can restore the computer’s IP address and other parameters to the default Settings.If the user wants to restore to dynamic IP mode, please press the RELOAD button for about 4 seconds.EzLogger Pro’s LED lights will flash from left to right and reset to restart.EzLogger Pro will be switched to dynamic lP mode after restart.
Protocol selection
Users can choose the protocol according to their needs. The gray one is the current protocol.After the protocol is switched,promate waits about one minute before proceeding.
Note
If the protocol is switched, the inverter device should be restarted.
Optical
fiber switch configuration instructions
lf the choice of fiber version please refer to this description
Some parameters of fiber optic switch: fiber optic switch is single-mode
single-fiber,fiber interface SC, central wavelength 1310/1550nm;The
transmission distance is 20KM
Use steps of optical fiber switch
Connect the fiber jumper or tail fiber from the end boxes at both ends of the fiber to the ports of the gigabit fiber switches (or the gigabit fiber interfaces of the transceiver or router at one end), Note that both ends of the same optical fiber must be connected to the TX and RX ports of the optical fiber interfaces at both ends, otherwise the optical fiber cannot be connected, and the single fiber module only needs one core optical fiber jumper.
Note
When optical fiber group ring network, there must be only one root node in one
ring network, and the others are slave node devices.The gigabit network switch
indicator lights are all defined as follows
| PWR | Power indicator | The lights indicate the power supply is normal |
|---|---|---|
| RUN | System operation indicator | Slow Flash:The system is running well, flash, |
and the loop function is enabled
FXL1| FXL1 Light mouth indicator light| Light: light port connection normal
light Flash: light port has data communication
FXL2| FXL2 Light mouth indicator light| Light: light port connection normal
light Flash: light port has data communication
1000M| Network light| Lights: expressed as a rate of 1000M
ACT| Network light| Flashlight: data transmission
Reset and restore factory equipment
Long press RESET, RUN light Long bright, and then flash, quick. Grow after flashing, open RESET key, wait for RUN indicatorRestore to factory default when flashing slowly
Introduction to the use of the Ring Network
Login system default lP: 11.11.11.254 User name: root password: admin Conmect the opicalfiher to the computer through the network cable. Set the lP address of the computer to 11.11.11.xxx and enterthe URL 11.11.11.254 in the browser. Login screen appears.
Pop up the following interface. Select second root nodes of ring network
In the ring network configuration ring network, only one of them needs to be configured as a ring root node.Others do not need to be configured.Other defaults are that the ring network is from the node. IP Configuration To faclitate management, IP addresses can be modified, and each device must be within the same IP address segment. lf one or more devices in the ring network can not work properly, please insert one set of optical fibers after replacement, and then insert another set of optical fibers after the equipment system is activated.
Maintenance and troubleshooting
Note
During system maintenance, please power off the system.Please ensure that all
power supply has been disconnected before the operation.
