APPENDIX V: USING THIRD PARTY CONTROLLERS (continued)
Operating Iconyx IC-R-II Digitally Steerable Arrays with External Controllers
Transferring control of the array back to your computer can only be done from the external control device or from your computer using
RHAON.. To do so from RHAON, you will need a USB-to-RS485 adapter such as the Renkus-Heinz model RS485-ADAPT. . Once you
have set up the adapter on your PC, connect the D+, D-, and SG pins on the adapter to the X, Y, and G pins respectively on the array:
Note that first you will have to disconnect (unplug) the cable connecting the remote control device to the array.
If your array is on the network, you can scan-and-select the array just as you did when you were switching control of the array to the
RS485 mode. Notice that the MAC address of the array will fill in the Enter / Confirm MAC text boxes. Alternatively, you can manually enter
in the MAC address of the array into the text boxes.
Select the COM Port of your adapter from the drop-down menu. If you are unsure of the correct port, this can be found in Device Manager
on your PC.
Once everything is set, clicking ‘Switch Device to CobraNet Mode’ will send the command to disable the RS485 mode and return control
back to your computer.
This process must be repeated for each individual module in the array, for instance for all three modules in an IC24-R-II array.
