Network Connection
For a configuration where there is only one agility
TM
unit (one-to-one), the remote and
main unit can be directly cabled. See Diagram below:
ConnectionandOperation
The remote keypad (AGY-010) can be used to control,
monitor and program up to 32 agility
TM
soft starters.
The unit is powered from the host agility
TM
and
requires an Ethernet cable for communication
(Modbus RTU).
As the remote keypad acts as the Modbus master,
no additional master units must be placed within the
network. Failure to observe this may lead to erratic
behaviour, network failure and/or equipment
damage.
Keypad power must be enabled
on the agilityTM starter (see below)
Enabling Keypad Power: Scroll to DEVICE menu → KEYPAD menu → KEYPAD PWR = ON

MAN-AGY-005. Version 01 (01/11/2017)
For multiple base units connected to the keypad, the use of SGY-011, CBL-036 and
CBL-035 (terminator) is highly recommended. See diagram below.
Operation
Once connected to the agility
TM
host unit/s, menu structures and programming are the
same as detailed in the agility
TM
manuals MAN-AGY-001 and MAN-AGY-002 (both may
be downloaded from www.fairford.co.uk).
However, specific steps must be taken to connect the Remote Keypad to one or more
agility
TM
host units.
Initial Power-Up
If the host agility
TM
unit/s and the remote keypad have the default Modbus transmission
parameters set, and the host unit is powered and has Keypad power set to ‘on’, the
keypad will automatically communicate with the host. The following status screen will
be seen:
