Product Line
EGX150 (Link 150)
Powerlink G3 controller (NF1000, NF3000)

Environment
Installation and setup

Resolution
Configuring to communicate via RS-485

Powerlink Serial Settings
Address: <unique identifier>
Baud Rate: <consistant with EGX150 device>
Parity: Even
Mode: 7-bit ASCII

EGX150 Serial Port Settings
Mode: Master
Physical Interface: RS485 2-wire
Transmission Mode: Modbus ASCII
Baud Rate: <consistant with Powerlink device>
Stop bits: 1 bit
Response Timeout: 2 seconds


Configuring to communicate via RS-232
Wire RS-232 connection as follows:


Powerlink Serial Settings
Address: <unique identifier>
Baud Rate: <consistant with EGX150 device>
Parity: Even
Mode: 7-bit ASCII

EGX150 Serial Port Settings
Mode: Master
Physical Interface: RS232
Transmission Mode: Modbus ASCII
Baud Rate: <consistant with Powerlink device>

Once both of the devices are configured, the Powerlink device needs to be added to the EGX150's device list.
To add the Powerlink device to the EGX150:

1. Navigate to the Configuration & Settings tab
2. Select Device List on the left-hand side of the screen
3. Enter a Device Name and then specify the Local ID to be the Address set in the Powerlink device
