07.1 CONTROL MODULE COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES
Control modules are usually used in powder coating systems where multiple powder coating applicators are
being controlled simultaneously. This requires communication between the control modules and a controller.
Communication occurs via Ethernet cables between the Ethernet port on the control module and a network
switch in the system control cabinet. This network switch is connected to a PLC or PLC Gateway module via
Modbus RTU protocol.
All control modules on a network must have a unique IP address.
Use the rotary dials on the left side of the control module to set the last two digits of each control module’s
static IP address (see _ Chap. 05.2.3 [}18]).
Modbus TCP protocol enables communication over Ethernet. This enables various parameters (e.g., voltage
and current) to be set.
SETTING A UNIQUE IP ADDRESS
The static part of the IP address is 192.168.2.1XX.
XX is a placeholder for the two digits that can be set via the rotary dials on the left side of
the control module.
Ping the control module after setting the IP address to determine which rotary dial corre-
sponds to which position.
1. Determine the IP addresses to be assigned.
2. Set the second-to-last digit of the IP address by setting the top rotary dial on the left side of the control
module to the desired number.
3. Set the last digit of the IP address by setting the bottom rotary dial on the left side of the control module
to the desired number.
