Building a Pump Network

Before you Start

You will need to think about pump addressing. Each pump has to be set to a unique address number (0 through 99) so that it can be differentiated from the others and so it knows which commands are intended for it.

The easiest way to do that is to set each pump up individually - factory default is 0 (zero) - so plug each one in as the only connected pump and set its address. When all pumps have been assigned an address, then they can be connected to the rest of the pump network.

First pump

Connect the 'Computer socket to either the computer's com port or the computer's connected USB-RS232 adaptor.

Second and subsequent pumps. 

Connect the network socket of the first pump to the computer socket of the second pump - ie towards the computer. Connect a new cable into the network socket and then to the next pump's computer socket. Keep going till you have connected all of your pumps. The last pump should only have one cable in the computer socket.
