 Introduction

1. Devicom™ PC•PRO LAN

The Devicom™ PC•PRO LAN is an Ethernet enabled soft- and hardware tool which gives you the .
possibility to connect to your devireg 550 thermostat network from any PC on your Ethernet network.

Today only the Devireg™ 550 can be installed in network, but with the setup of Devicom™ PC•PRO all
settings and adjustments can be controlled from the computer, and from any PC on your local area
network.

The software is multilingual and includes both an advanced and a simple user front end (targeted at
the installer/end user)

A Windows ActiveX automation based API exist, making it possible to control Devireg™ 550 from 3rd
party Building Automation Systems. You can download it from www.devi.com

 Connecting your system units

Step 1
Connect the 550s with two wires in parallel, use 1.5mm2 wires. You can use the same cables, or pipes,
to Devinet as for 230V mains.
Connect the devinet to the Devicom Interface A.
Connect the Devicom Interface A to the NPort with the RS232 cable/plug

Each Devicom Interface A can control up to 31 devireg™ 550. The Devicom PC•PRO software can
handle 30 Interface A’s, giving a total of 930 pieces of Devireg 550s in one single installation.

Connect the NPorts to the Ethernet e.g. via a switch.

(For initial setup test purposes you can also connect the NPort directly to your PC via a crossed net-
work cable)


 Installing software

Step 2
Install NPort Administration Suite on the PC and start Administrator:
Insert the CD and run \NPort5110\Software\Windows\setup.exe

Now launch the program.


 Finding NPorts on network

Step 3

Press Search
This will have the system search for any connected NPorts


If you have more than one connected to your system, you will get the following warning message:

Because the NPort default have the exact same IP address 192.168.127.154

Press OK


Now you can see that 2 NPort 5110s were found. Notice they have the same IP addresses. These must
be changed, as they must be unique.


 Configuring

Step 4
Mark/select ‘all’ found units:

10
In the menu choose
Configuration ‡ Assign IP Address
which will bring up this window

11
 Assigning IP addresses

Step 5
Now either ‘Assign IP Sequentially’ or set IP manually (contact your IT administrator to get IP addresses,
it is recommended to use static IP addresses).

12
 Change Operating mode

Step 6
In the menu choose .
Configuration ‡ Configure .
which will bring up this window

Click the “Modify” check box and then click the button “Settings”

13
Now change “Force Tx Timeout” from 0 to 30 and then click “OK”
14
 Mapping COM ports

Step 7
Now each NPort should be mapped to a COM port, in order for PC•PRO to find the thermostats.

Click COM Mapping in the Function window

and then click the button Add

15
Your NPorts have now been added to above window.

Press OK

16
The NPorts have now been assigned COM2 and COM4

If you are not satisfied with the allocation of COM numbers, you can choose them yourself.

17
 Re-assigning COM Ports

Step 8
Right click the NPort you wish to re-assign a COM Port, and choose COM Settings:

18
which brings up this window:

19
Then we have:

20
 Exporting COM settings

Step 9
You can export the COM Settings to a file if you need to access the system from more PCs in the same
Ethernet network. From the menu choose:
COM Mapping ‡ Export COM Mapping

Now press

21
and click yes to save the COM Port configuration

Then the following message will ‘pop up’

This is the default so ‘OK’

This concludes the NPort setup.

22
 Configuring PC•PRO

Step 10
Now start PC•PRO
Under
Tools ‡ Options ‡ Communication
select the used COM ports:
