8 WORKING WITH MULTIPLE HELIX ADD-INS
8.1 Building your Network Remotely
Working within ELGAR enables you to open a series of HELIX Add-Ins (HELIX DN9848E system
processor devices) in a single show file to match your system. As with the physical system, the
maximum number of devices that can be held in any one file is 16.
In keeping with system protocol, each HELIX Add-In must be assigned a unique unit address, between 1
and 32. Addresses do not have to be assigned incrementally, but HELIX DN9848E RCS will
automatically use the lowest available address when you Add-In each new HELIX DN9848E device.
HELIX DN9848E RCS will not allow two devices to be assigned the same address.
8.2 The DN9848 Units Home Screen
To make it easier to work with multiple HELIX Add-Ins, a global DN9848 Units Home screen is provided that
has several multi-device facilities, including:
• Switching between the devices.
• Copying settings between devices (covered in sections 9 and 10).
• Global online controls (covered in Section 3.5).
• Function locking for system protection (covered in Section 3.5.3).
• Global memory controls (covered in this section 9).
To switch to the DN9848 Units Home screen
Click on
and, if necessary, click to obtain the screen below.
The DN9848 Units Home screen provides input and output control panels for all of the HELIX units in the
show file and some ‘global’ command buttons. (Only Copy Channels is described here; the other global
commands are described in sections 9 and 10).
