Sullair eConnect/PanelView Notes

Application note for A-B PanelView 600 Plus to communicate with Sullair eConnect using
Modbus protocol.
PanelView Info
1. Install FT View ME Studio on PC.
2. Install KEP Server Enterprise on PC (all drivers).
3. PanelView Settings:
a. 192.168.2.10
b. 320 x 240 screen size
4. Need to flash PV firmware: c:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSView
Enterprise\FUPs. Make sure Ethernet is selected on Kepware drivers.
5. When upgrading firmware, got not enough memory message. Had to change PV
startup configuration to go to configuration screen instead of loading and running
application.
6. Apparently, the Kepware configuration is the only thing that affects the PanelView
communications setup not the RSLinx Enterprise settings as normally. After any changes
to Kepware, the application must be recompiled.

Sullair Info
1. Econnect design company: ICC Designs, 608-831-1255
2. Econnect card had different IP settings than shown in the book. Used hyperterminal to
change them to match the book.
3. Hyperterminal settings for connection: 38400 / 8 / none / 1 / hardware
4. IP address settings for Econnect: 192.168.1.2 / 255.255.255.0
5. Before Sullair system was configured using the HMI, Panel View diagnostics returned an
exception 7 (neagative acknowledgement) indicating that the Etherent communications
were OK, but that the eConnect was not communicating to the Sullair control system
through the RS485 link. The PanelView displayed all *** in the data fields.
6. Sullair HMI configuration:
a. Factory Setup ->Comm Module ->Yes <Enter>
b. Sequencing ->Sequence By Remote
7. Only one compressor is connected on this application, but multiple compressors could be
connected. On multiple setups, Com1 uses addresses 1 through 200, Com2 uses addresses
201 thru 400, etc.
8. Addresses for analog holding registers are offsets. For example parameter 105 is Modbus
address 40105 (this shows us as 400105 in the Kepware server).
9. Wired start relay to output 4 (Modbus address 43125 (403215 in the Kepware server).
This is dout4, terminal J 9/5. Output On =Run (External relay is de-energized). Output Off
=Stop (External relay is energized).
10. Remote on Sullair Supervisor must be illuminated (Red) for PanelView remote
start/stop button to work
