Shade ENET Power Supply with Cresnet Slaves

 

Am I missing something? Is the cheap, 2-page start doc on the resources page for this power supply the only documentation for this product??
?
So I have an ENET Shade power supply with two cresnet slaves ('Slave' ENETs).
In SMW, I can add 'Slave' ENET units to either the Master or the Local subSlots (I know that they should be on the Master) but they don't expand to allow shade motors to be added to the slaves where they are actually connected...
What am I missing??
?
TIA!
 

When you use a CSA-PWS10S-HUB-ENET in cresnet slave mode. In simpl you add all the devices directly to whatever the PWS is slaved to. So, if it is slaved to the processor you add them to the processor, if it is a slave to another PWS you add them to the master slot of that PWS. When using a PWS in slave move, the only reason to add it in simpl is for power control and feedback. As well to make sure you don't assign something to its net id.
 

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the response. So Is this how you mean if I have (30) shades with (3) PWSs:
- Add Master PWS to the CP4 ethernet slot
- Add (2) Cresnet Slave PWSs to the Master CNET, with their own unique CNET IDs (ex: 03, 04)
- add the First (10) Shades to the Master 'Local' Slot (Local CNET IDs 03-0C)
- Add the add'l (20) shades to the Master CNET with their own unique CNET IDs separate from the slave PWSs, and also (for orderliness) separate from the CNET IDs on the Local slot
?
This way All the shades are 'ON' the master PWS on either the Local or Master Slots. and the slave PWSs are just there as you said if we want to control their unique features. Correct??
?
My confusion I think was that when I use Slave Processors, all of the devices are nested under them in the hardware definition. in this case it seems that the shades are paralleled with the slave PWSs...
?
