How to config:
a. Use USB-RS485 adapter connect to KC868-HA.
b. download KC868-HA config tool and open it
Chose your USB Serial port, baud is “9600”, parity: None click “OPEN” button.
Target Relay Controller Addr: it’s your relay controller’s RS485 address, such as we use KC868-H32B Pro RS485 setting add is 1. This can see in your KinCony relay controller’s ethernet network setting webpage:
In KC868-H32B Pro setting webpage, RS485 Type set to “Special Slave” option.
Switch Adapter Addr: this is adapter board own address, you can set from 10—99, just every board set to a different address.
SW1—SW6 that is input1—6 on adapter board. SW1—SW6 means MAX support 6 buttons by one adapter board. You can set SWx type for “Latch” or “Momentary” , “Output” for control which relay.
Fox example:
If you have two different type of switch panel. You need to prepare two adapter board.
Set adapter board-A “Switch Adapter Addr”=10
If you want SW1—SW6 use by old traditional switch panel for relay1-6. So you can connect SW1—SW6 to your switch panel’s K1–K6. Type chose “Latch”, SW1 output “1”, SW2 output “2”, SW3 output “3”…….. SW6 output “6”.
Click “Apply To” button, then click “SaveFlash” button, so that the command will saved to adapter board.
Set adapter board-B “Switch Adapter Addr”=11
If you want SW1—SW6 use by momentary switch panel for relay7-13. So you can connect SW1—SW6 to your switch panel’s K1–K6. Type chose “Momentary”, SW1 output “7”, SW2 output “8”, SW3 output “9”…….. SW6 output “13”.
Click “Apply To” button, then click “SaveFlash” button, so that the command will saved to adapter board.
You can use any 1-6 key switch panel.
If momentary switch panel (have LEDs), if want feedback LED indicator for state:
connect D1-D6 with switch panel’s LED D1-D6, panel have connect to +12v. Because when D1–D6 have GND then switch panel’s LED will be ON.
“ReadOnce” button: read setting from adapter board.
“RstFactory” button: will reset “Target Relay Controller Addr” to “1” , “Switch Adapter Addr” to “10”, SW1->Relay1, SW2->Relay2,SW3->Relay3,SW4->Relay4,SW5->Relay5,SW6->Relay6, “Type” to “Latch”.
