Digital Power Bar Q

Hi All, I got my new profilux about a week ago, and have been stumbling through getting it set up. My latest has been hooking up my second digital powerbar. Right now I have the second bar hooked up to the first, (which I got working fine), and then hooked to the S1-S4 port. I would like to control the additional sockets seperately from the first, and cant seem to get anywhere.

I dont seem to have any luck controlling them, even when I go to the "sock out fun" and try turning 7-12 on or off, they all just stay the same as PB #1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya

You need to assign the sockets first (program it) all power bars are factory default 1-6 so the second is just following the first

unplug the first from the profilux S1-4.

Plug in the second one directly into S1-4

Go to the power socket screen in the software and at the bottom select program power bar.

Follow on screen prompts

You will need to program it to socket 7-12
 
Well no need as it is already in the manual written by GHL, I guess you just missed it.

please check page 3.16.19 page 55 you will find the fullest of explanations there for you

3.16.19 Digital powerbars
Here digital powerbars and dosing units can be administrated.
First, you have to indicate if you like to use digital powerbars (or dosing units). If this is the case (in ProfiLux
chose yes), the socket control output S1-S4 is set to digital data transfer, so that at this connection, a
communication with digital powerbars and dosing units is possible.
If it has been set that digital powerbars shall be used, you can afterwards also chose between the following
options:
„h Set numbering - With this option, you relate numbers to the sockets of the digital powerbar
(respectively to the pumps of the dosing unit). The first socket of the powerbar (respectively the first
pump of the dosing unit) obtains the set start number, the next socket (or pump) this number + 1,
and so on. If e.g. 10 is set as first number, then the sockets of an digital powerbar have the numbers
10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. For this case the pumps of a dosing unit would have numbers 10, 11, 12
and 13. The set switch socket functions will then relate to these numbers, see also 3.16.5 Socket
function. You can set start numbers between 1 and 19.
„h Set initial state ¡V (for dosing pump units is this function not available) With this option, the initial
states (after line voltage voltage appears) of the separate sockets can be set. These states are also
restored when the communication between ProfiLux and the powerbar is - due to any reasons -
missing longer than 60 s, e.g. if the control line is removed or if the ProfiLux is defective. The digital
powerbar controls permanently, if it is still getting commands from the ProfiLux. It could for example
be reasonable, that you set your digital powerbar in a way that in case of a fault, the socket for the
filter is on and the socket for the heater is off. So the water purification is guaranteed further on and
an overheating is excluded.
„h no action
Important hints:
„h The setting Use digital powerbars has only an effect on S1-S4! All other connections for powerbars
(e.g. S5 - S8) are furthermore only suited for standard powerbars, these connections can also not be
altered.
„h If the option Use digital powerbars has been activated, then with S1-S4 no standard powerbar can
be actuated.
„h A mixed operation of digital powerbars (at S1-S4) and standard powerbars (at the other powerbar
connections, e.g. S5 - S8) is possible.
„h When the initial state or the numbering shall be set, only one digital powerbar respectively dosing
pump unit may be connected. If several devices would be connected during the programming, all
would overtake the new programming!
„h The numbering of digital powerbars and dosing pump units is freely selectable (see Set numbering).
In contrast to that, the numbering of standard powerbars is determined by the fact to which output
they are connected. Sockets of one powerbar which is connected to S5-8, have for example always
the numbering 5 to 8. Here, you have to keep in mind that no double assignment of numbers arises!
„h The set numbering and initial states are stored permanently in the digital powerbar and therefore
also remain when they are not connected to the line voltage voltage.

Thanks,

Michael
