Comfigurator > No of SCS/RIO Limitation

[dcrera]

Hi,

I just upgraded to the new Comfort Gen II board.

The main reason for the upgrade was to use 4 Rios and 8 Scence switches.

I am using the new Configurator V2.1.0.

When I try to increase the Number of SCS/RIO, it would not allowed more than 8 (range 0 to 8).

Please let this be a Configurator issue and NOT an issue with the new board.

What would be a work around as I set this weekend to complete my installation.

PLease help

It is a problem with Comfigurator which limits the number to 8
Use your keypad to set the number of SCS/RIO in Location 1676, then reset
The next version will have this fixed

Hi,

What would happen when I do a download, would it reset it back to 8 ?

 

[slychiu]

yes, it would

[dcrera]

Thanks,

When can we expect a software fix ?

The next version 2.2.0 of Comfigurator is a major upgrade and is many months away
In the meantime I think this workaround can handle the situation as you would not need to download so often

I still have problems

1. Setting location 1676 to 9 and using ANY of the 7 available addresses( I used 8 already) gives me a communication failure 89.

2. The SCS/RIO in Comfigurator only handles 64 responses  129 -193 (129 + (8 X 8)).

This is major set back for me as this is my third upgrade to just accomodate my installation of 12 RIOS/SCS.

Months away from the next release  is disappointing.

What\'s my alternatives/work around (if any, at this stage) ?

Thanks

Have you set the ID switches for J1 (A to D) for ID 9 accordiing to the RIO Manual?
You should not be seeing Commmunications Failure 89 if it is correct
You should also reset Comfort after changing the location 1676
There are locations for programming RIO responses oncxe you have fixed the communications problem

[dcrera]

The chances of me not setting the jumper settings incorrectly is pretty much slim at this stage considering I have 8 such address already working.


I did reset the system after setting location 1676 to 9.


It is a Scene switch that is giving me this problem not a RIO. Would you get a communication error if there are no responses associated with an address ?

May I be bold in asking whether the Comfort GEN II has been tested for more than 8 RIO/SCS ?

If yes, what could the problem be other than an incorrect address ?

Thanks

Hi Reuben,

When you said \"Setting location 1676 to 9 and using ANY of the 7 available addresses( I used 8 already) gives me a communication failure 89\", do you mean to say that you tried to change the ID jumpers without resetting the SCS/RIO after doing so?? The SCS/RIO would need a power cycle as well after you change the jumpers.

To program the responses, you could make use of keypad programming at this stage.

Regards.
