Factory Parameter Configuration Steps

1 Enter Configuration Mode

Power off the equipment, keep the START button pressed, and power on the equipment again.

2 Display Indication

The upper voltage digital display shows the configuration index number; the lower current digital display shows the configuration parameter value.

3 Switch Index Number

Use the Time-Up and Time-Down buttons to switch between index numbers.

4 Adjust Parameter Value

Adjust the corresponding parameter value via the pulse potentiometer.

5 Save and Lock

After configuration, press the Segment-Select switch button to save and lock the settings. The digital displays will show "----".

6 Activate New Parameters

Power off and power on the equipment again to activate the new parameters. Refer to the table below for detailed parameter descriptions.

Complete Parameter Table (21 Items)

Index Parameter Name Configuration Value
0001~32 Power supply communication address 0001 ~ 0032 (set communication address)
01 Auto power compensation selection 00 = Auto compensation OFF (factory setting) 01-99 = Auto compensation ON; slow ramp time: 1-200 s 2 = Lock automatic mode (cannot select auto/manual mode)
02 Counter unit selection 00 = 0.1 s 01 = 1 s 02 = 1 min 03 = 0.1 A·min 04 = 1 A·min 05 = 0.1 A·h 06 = 1 A·h
03 Counter operation mode 01 = Power maintains original state when counter reaches zero; restart via start-stop switch 02 = Power maintains original state when counter reaches zero; restart via start-stop switch or workpiece removal 03 = Disables start button when counter reaches zero; restart via start-stop switch 04 = Current drops to 1/100 of max value when counter reaches zero; restart via start-stop switch or workpiece removal
04 Alarm time selection (0-99 s) 0 ~ 99 (seconds)
05 Max voltage display setting For 12V or lower equipment: set to 1200 (two decimal places)
06 Max voltage setting Maximum output voltage of the equipment
07 Voltage decimal point selection 0 = No decimal point 1 = One decimal place 2 = Two decimal places
08 Internal shunt rated current Example: 200 A shunt configured as 2000 (one decimal place)
09 Max current setting Maximum output current of the equipment
10 Current decimal point selection Same rules as voltage decimal point setting
11 Pulse potentiometer type selection 0 = Rotate left 1 = Rotate right
12 (Reserved / see item 11) Refer to item 11 configuration
13 Current reduction percentage 0 ~ 50 (%)
14 Operating segment number selection 1 ~ 20
15 External counter unit selection 1 → A·min 60 → A·h
16 Communication mode selection 0 = Modbus RTU 1 = Internal checksum protocol (for old management boards without touch screen) 2 = Internal CRC verification protocol (for new-generation touch screen management boards) 3 = Hard anodizing communication protocol (for Oct-2017 touch screen version)
17 Protection / protocol selection 0 = Normal overcurrent / over-temperature protection 1 = Switch overcurrent / over-temperature protection 4 = Liyuan protocol, positive start-stop logic 5 = Liyuan protocol, reverse start-stop logic
18 Parity bit selection 0 = No parity 1 = Odd parity 2 = Even parity
19 Overvoltage protection limit 0 = Rated voltage limit; 0 disables protection
20 Switching transition time Unit: 0.1 s; 0 = Switching function disabled
21 Cyclic timer selection 0 = No cycle 1 = Cycle activated (modifies items 3 and 4)
Conclusion: The RS485 remote control panel provides comprehensive parameter configurability for electroplating rectifiers. By following the 6-step configuration procedure and correctly setting the 21 parameter items, operators can achieve precise control over communication, compensation, counting, voltage/current calibration and protection functions, ensuring optimal performance and reliable operation of the electroplating power supply.
