2. Quick Start – A Basic PakBus Network
Ingredients of a PakBus Network
• LoggerNet (server).
• PakBus devices (dataloggers with PakBus OS or native PakBus devices
such as the CR200 Series).
• Routers (if used; typically dataloggers with PakBus OS and configured as
routers).
• Communication peripherals (RF400 Series, COM210, COM310, NL100,
etc.).
Setup of a PakBus Network
• Create the device map in LoggerNet.
• Assign each PakBus device a unique address from 1 to 3999 (LoggerNet
defaults to address 4094).
• Create datalogger-routers by entering *D15 settings for: max network
nodes, max device neighbors, max network routers.
• Configure routers to discover by neighbor filter or by beaconing the next
device (neighbor) toward the destination.
Router configuration can be done with keyboard display using *D15 or by
sending a *.dld program with network settings having been configured in
Edlog \ Options \ PakBus Settings.
• Set up communication peripheral interfaces to match the attached
datalogger’s beacon or neighbor filter port.
• Set up all network RF400 Series radios with the same: hopping sequence,
network address, radio address and, normally, with standby mode of “< 24
mA always on” and Active Interface of “CSDC 7” (AutoSense if
connecting to a PC).
