It is possible to insert a device into an existing AS-i V2 configuration without having to use the pocket programmer.
This operation is possible once:
-
-
a single slave is absent in the Control Expert configuration,
-
the slave which is to be inserted is specified in the -Unit configuration,
-
the slave has the profile and sub-profile expected by the configuration,
-
the slave has the address 0 (A).
The AS-i V2 module will therefore automatically assign to the slave the value predefined in the configuration.
The following table shows the procedure for making the automatic insertion of a new slave effective.
