SOS Multi-drop Driver

The PowerLogic ADVC Controller Range supports WSOS communications using the SOS Multi-drop driver.

When WSOS communications uses a point to point connection, addressing is not required. However, when some forms of shared communication media such as RS485 or Radio are used, addressing is required and this can be achieved via the SOS Multi-drop driver. Radios with an RS232 interface can be used with RS232 ports that support handshaking lines.

On the ADVC3 controller that would be the Modem port.

NOTE: The IOEX/WSOS RS232 port on the PowerLogic ADVC Controller does not have handshaking lines so are not supported by the SOS Multi-drop driver.

The SOS Multi-drop Driver is an optional feature and must be made available through Feature Selection before it can be used.

In WSOS go to:

Display>Configuration> Feature Configuration> Communications.

The SOS Multi-drop driver can also be made available via the operator interface.
