Powerbar 6d usa connection

[fabiomicro]

Setting up PROFILUX 3ex FW:5.0.3a and PC 5.0.31, Never updated the powerbar firmware, not sure where the fw version is for the powerbar.

I connected 2 Powerbars 6D USA directly to the PROFILUX 3ex. If following the manual, it says to connect the PAB cable to one of the L1/L2 or L3/L4 ports in the P3. First the ethernet cable that came with the unit doesnt fit into these ports(cable to big to fit into these RJ45 ports). So the only option was to connect the powerbars to the "NO NAME" ports mentioned on the manual as 15 & 16. Once connected the powerbars do work but after configuring the lights in ilumination 1(on/off settings- ok), sockets S1(ilumination 1). When the time for the lights to turn on...both POWERBARS S1 turn on. So should i connect the POWERBARS differently??? should they be connected in a daisy chain instead of both powerbars connected directly to the P3??

As far as I know, there are two types of PoweBars 6d: PowerBar6D and PowerBar6D-PAB
PowerBar6D should be connecter to L1/L2 or L3/L4 socket, while PowerBar6D-PAB should be connected to PAB interface in daisy-chain manner. Pay attention, you need configure\assign PAB devices direct on P3 device but not in PLC(it’s not supported yet) before using it.

Rivals Info is correct.

ok got them connected in daisy chain and configured them in P3ex. Also how do you know which is the FW for the PAB 6D?

this is shown in the newest ProfiLuxControl 5.0.3.1 under "system"

I just installed PLC 5.0.3.1 (but the ? > info reports is as 5.0.3.0) and installed 5.03a (reported again as 5.03)

If I look under System I dont see it... there is a first line that has Switchable Socket Outputs with a empty field and nothis is listed in the tree above. I have 2 PAB powerbar on my system

[Matthias]

are the powerbars assigned to the system?

it should look like this:

yes I have 1x expantion box and 2x PAB powerbar assigned to the system

I'm using PLC5.0.3.1 and 5.0.3a but can't view PAB as well.
PowerBar6D-PAB configured and assigned to P3.
I can't find any info about PAB in PLC

My bad...
After restart of P3 I have PAB devices in PLC now.
